I am very excited to announce the launch of the F.W. Chapman Solutions Fall Fundraiser for 2011! Here’s how it works.

I will donate 10% of my consulting fee to the registered nonprofit of your choice for every paying client you send my way between now and October 31, 2011. For example, suppose you refer a new client to me, and suppose I bill that client $1,000 for my services on October 15. When I receive my fee, I will donate $100 to your favorite nonprofit!

I can see that you have a few questions about all this. Let me try to answer your questions below.

What exactly do you do, Fred?

That’s an excellent question, and I’m so glad you asked! Here’s what I can do for you and any new clients you send my way: I use the WordPress content management system (CMS) to build full-featured business websites and blogs that are as simple or as complex as you need. For example, I can equip your new website with user accounts, an online store, social media marketing tools, community forums, a customer support ticketing system, a live event management system, online training courses, and more. I will soon offer my new e-Simplicity Package to provide upgradable starter websites with built-in blogs at a price every business can afford.

How are you different from your competition?

Unlike many web designers, I don’t charge by the page—I charge by the site, and I teach you how to create as many pages as you want! Instead of forcing you to rely on your webmaster to make changes, I empower you to manage your own site content. I provide a complete line of website packages and offer discounts to price my services within the reach of small businesses, independent professionals, nonprofits, and startups. In fact, I pride myself on providing the best value in business websites and blogs available today. You can find more information about my packages, discounts, and pricing on the home page of this website.

That’s fantastic! How can I spread the news?

Goodness gracious, your enthusiasm is contagious! If you want to tell others about the F.W. Chapman Solutions Fall Fundraiser, you can share this announcement quickly and easily with a simple click of the mouse. You can use the Tweet and Like buttons at the top of the article to share this information with your contacts on Twitter and Facebook. You can also use the Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and email share buttons which appear in a row at the bottom of the article. In addition, I have set up this convenient fundraiser link which you can include in your own emails and posts:

Reach your customers and grow your business through the power of e-marketing!

My new e-Marketing Package integrates seven of the most popular online platforms: WordPress, FeedBurner, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and MailChimp. I interconnect and automate all these marketing tools for you so that broadcasting your marketing content online couldn’t be easier! Here’s how I do it.

Blogging with Web Syndication

For blogging, I install a self-hosted WordPress blog onto your website. Your blog is fully cross-referenced by categories and keywords. Visitors can browse your blog by category, keyword, month, date, or author. I use FeedBurner to syndicate your blog content on the web, and I can even syndicate your blog feeds by category or keyword to do targeted marketing. Every new blog post is automatically announced as a status update on three different social networks.

Social Networking and Social Media

For social networking, I use Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. I connect them together so that the same status updates are automatically broadcast on all three networks. A Facebook or Twitter widget displays live status updates directly on your website, and follow badges and share buttons are integrated into every web page and blog post throughout your website. For social media, I use YouTube to host your website’s embedded videos. New video uploads are automatically announced on all three social networks.

Professional Email Marketing

For professional email marketing, I use MailChimp, which currently offers up to 2,000 subscribers and 12,000 emails per month for free! A mailing list sign-up form collects subscriptions on your website, and the sign-up form can be added to your Facebook business page as well. I set up automatic email campaigns which broadcast new blog content monthly or weekly to all list subscribers and broadcast daily to subscribers who request instant updates for targeted content. A link to your email newsletter is automatically posted as a status update on all three social networks, and an online archive of past mailings is integrated into your website.

Professional WordPress Websites

If you need a (better) website, I can build you a full-featured WordPress website with a contact form, a sitemap, a search box, a self-hosted blog, and more. You can choose from a wide variety of professional website themes which I can style and customize to your specifications. Do you need to display images on your website? I can offer you three different ways to make a powerful visual impact: popup (lightbox) image viewers, embedded slideshows, and a dynamic content gallery which links your images to your web pages. I do extensive behind-the-scenes work to make sure your website is SEO-friendly, fast, reliable, and secure. I also provide professional-quality copywriting and typesetting to help you prepare your content for publication on the web.

Are you still marketing the old-fashioned way? F.W. Chapman Solutions can help!

My e-Marketing Package and my websites can be customized to meet the unique needs of each individual client. For example, here’s how I used my e-Marketing Package on the website I built for my client Santly Training, LLC. Please contact me to arrange for a live demonstration, which I can present to you either in person or remotely over the Internet. Let’s meet soon and discuss what my new e-Marketing Package can do for your business!
