I know you are job hunting and you think websites are only for businesses or writers.
In these 77 Guerrilla Job Search tips I have over and over told you you about creating different things to market yourself.
We have talked about white papers and different ways of using them
We have talked about brochures, books, and many other different things.
I have given you ideas about starting your consulting business.
All these things were to market yourself to a customer – oops did it again – an employer.
Well, actually there is no difference. A customer and employer are the same. They pay you for delivering a service and you are paid for the time you spend doing it.
You can be an employee, get a regular salary, and they take the taxes.
You can be a consultant, chase business and not have a steady salary.
In both cases you should have a website and make sure it looks professional.
If you are not a programmer then are there are two ways to do it, the hard way and the easy way.
The hard way – which is pretty cheap:
- Finding a hosting company – I recommend WestHost. If you go this route, tell them I called.
- Install WordPress – I use it.
- Find a theme – I have used severl different ones.
- Install the different plugins your will need – I am currently using over 30.
- Learn to manage the site.
- Learn to do SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
- Learn about Feeds
- Learn about e-mail marketing
- Write your content
Why is it cheap – because you have to do the work. I am cheap and I do the work, but I have a degree in Computer Science which has helped a lot.
I don’t recommend it for any of my clients. And if I were to do it again, I certainly would not.
The much easier way which costs about $100 more is:
- Go to SBI! buy a package – let them worry about everything other than the content.
- Write your content
The difference in price is about a $100 a year – Check out the difference between SBI! and the other options.
Why do I recommend SBI! so strongly?
Many people use SiteBuildIt! to make some extra money – but for the job hunter, the website can be up and running in days generating real job opportunities.
- SBI! is simple for anyone and I mean anyone to use: Check out the 2 1/2 minute video.
- SBI! teaches you how to write the content to connect to your customers – oops I mean your potential employer. The training is absolutely free – check some out
How To Write For The Net,
How To Sell Consulting Services,
Here are 14 training courses. - SBI! Includes every tool you need and many you will not have a clue how to use.
Here is a list of the tools included with SBI!.
If you’re not artistic or technical by their templates are second to none as far as I’m concerned.
They look professional and and are included.
You add your own words and customize it to fit your needs or you can hire them to do the job for you.
Action Steps:
- Select a template which matches the industry you want to go into.
- Have a newsletter box.
- Your content needs to focus on your industry knowledge and your ability to do a particular job or the series of jobs you want to be hired to do.
- Put up all articles you have authored.
- Find other articles from other people and add them wtih your own comments. RESPECT copyright laws!
- Put up summaries of your white papers and encourage employers to contact you directly or at least register to receive the entire document. This will build you a stable of leads as well as tell you who is reading your site.
- Link to other sites which have content that would be of interest to your readers.
- One last comment – SBI! encourages you to name the website related to the content. I disagree – use your own name, like I did. That way your name is associated with the expertise on the site. It will get you that great job.

This article is just a small sample of how you can do to take control of your Job hunt and make it effective. I work closely with the two experts in the field, Kevin Donlin and David Perry, co-creators of the Guerrilla Job Search System.
Job hunters who use “Click and Apply” wonder why they are not getting interviews and ultimately taking far too long to get a job. I hope you are not using “Click and Apply” as your major tactic. You have many more strategies and tactics to make an effective job hunt.
The only Job Hunting system I recommend is the Guerrilla Job Search System.
The system works, because it helps you do what you do best. Kevin and David have been interviewed by Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Fortune magazine, and the Christian Science Monitor about their method to finding a job.
Go right now and listen to a sample of how Kevin and David will get your job search into high gear
If you want to know why I think the Guerrilla Job Search System is so effective for job hunters read my review of it here.
