My mom gets her own website!

Posted on: Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

I spent last night quickly putting together a Wordpress-based site for my mother. She is a concert violinist who has now decided that she would rather work for herself and do strictly free-lance work. Her website is meant to be a place to send potential clients and for people to find her through search. The site went up just last night and I have not had time to put much effort into including strong calls to action or elements to make it more SE-friendly. (I worked until around 3AM, then realized that I was going on a run at Central Park with Peter Shankman at 5:30. My eyes are hurting.)

However, I am confident that I can get her on page 1 for some pretty nice geo-targeted, violinist-related keywords. The most obvious one is “New York Violinist“. Apparently there is plenty of domain name real estate out there to grab in this niche, like this awesome domain name, newyorkviolinist.com.

One comment...that is a start.

Looks pretty good Alhan. Soon, she will a violin star with you doing her SEO !!!

I too have been encouraging friends and family members to start blogs. Most people have something to share, they just don’t realize that others might be interested in it.

I’m currently working on a local music scene website for a friend, and have been placed in the sandbox . . .
