Digital Networking Tip #1: Have your own domain

Having an online presence for any business is becoming standard procedure nowadays. It’s your home base, where people come to see what you are all about.

Your website will open up more opportunities including the following:

• You can connect with your audience in a way that captures who you are and what your business is, allowing you to connect and leave a memorable impression.
