Whether you\u2019re a fresh dancer coach looking to set up your first website, or an established your brand, you probably already know that building a website isn\u2019t easy. It\u2019s not unusual for people to get the wrong idea about having a website. However, there are few myths about having a website you must know to break away from that false belief.\u00a0<\/p>

3 Common website Myths<\/strong><\/h2>

Myth #1: I don\u2019t need a website when I\u2019m already active on social media<\/span><\/h3>

Many people think that because they already have a Facebook page or Instagram profile, they don\u2019t need a website.
You can post your schedule, updates, and events there, right?
The problem is that thanks to the algorithm both Facebook and Instagram use, just a few of your followers will SEE<\/strong> your posts.
Building your brand on social media is like building your house on someone else\u2019s land. Be active on social media but make your website and your email list your hub.<\/p>

Myth #2: Once Website is Up, I’m set<\/span><\/h3>

How I wish this would be true. When you build a website, that\u2019s only the beginning. Many of our clients suffer as a result of believing this myth. They think that once they launch their website, they don\u2019t have to work on it anymore. A website, however, needs maintenance and needs to be tweaked and perfected over time.
You\u2019ll need to maintain your website. That includes renewing your domain registration<\/a> on time, protecting your website from viruses, updating its design to keep up with current trends, and investing in promotion, so people visit it.<\/p>

Myth #3: If you build it, they will come<\/span><\/h3>

Many business owners suffer from a misguided expectation that their website will automatically start attracting visitors the moment it\u2019s online. They believe that, since they\u2019ve invested money to build a website, leads should naturally start flowing in. The fact is there are a lot of websites on the Internet, and it will be hard for viewers to find your website soon after you make one. One thing to keep in mind once you create your website<\/a> is to continue promoting through social media where you can link to your page.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
