About Debbie Shelor’s Online Business Success Consulting, Web Design & Marketing, and Social Media Management Services

Hiring Debbie and her company to handle your online presence is a very powerful and bold step towards achieving your business goals. Our job is to help you chart a course and navigate your way through the ever changing world of online marketing. Putting up a website is only the beginning.

There is no point in putting up a website or blog if no one can find it. That’s the difference between having a thriving successful online business and one that’s not. You must rank well (be on the first page of results) in the search engines (Google) or you are simply wasting your time and money.

Debbie has been successfully marketing on line for over a decade. Her websites, and those she develops for clients, consistently rank high in the search engines for the keywords being targeted. Her newsletter subscribers are in the thousands from over 100 countries around the globe.

She offers a premium service for clients who are serious about succeeding in business and in life.

Every on-line business strategy is different. No one cookie cutter plan will work for every business. The best strategy for your business may not work at all for another. It depends entirely on the market you are in, the products or services you are offering, and the type of people that are your customers. There are countless decisions that must be made with these factors in mind. What we do is help you make the best decisions for your business.

We’re here helping you navigate and succeed every step of the way:

• doing advanced keyword research to find out what people are searching for on line who might be looking for you and your products or services,
• helping you choose the best domain name for your site or blog – it’s one of the most important factors in your online success,
• recommending all the services you’ll need to succeed online such as web hosts, domain registrars, autoresponder services, social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc. , and other services to help your online business thrive,
• assisting you in picking topics for articles, press releases, blog and social media posts to rank well on search engines and get targeted visitors to your site (A targeted visitor is one who is actively searching to purchase what it is that you offer),
• helping you determine if you need to get into mobile websites and text message advertising,
• ensuring that your site(s) and media profiles stay updated with fresh content,
• analyzing every aspect of your on-line presence on an ongoing basis to determine what is working well and what needs to be changed,
• making changes to the plan as the business and the internet changes, and
• keeping you updated with trends and laws that can impact your online business success.
• teaching you all about business success online every step of the way.

There’s much more of course.

We begin the process by getting clear about who you are, what business you are in, what your target market looks like, and the business goals you have in mind. Debbie developed a comprehensive client questionnaire that will assist in getting on the same page and speaking the same language when it comes to your online business.

Just so you know – We take your success on line as seriously as you do! It is a great honor to be your online business success consultants.

ABOUT DEBBIE

Debbie is an engineer with a passion for helping people succeed in their online business and in life.  A true alchemist, she facilitates business and personal transformation, turning ordinary into extraordinary.

Online Business Success Consultant, Social Media Manager

She began working with computers back in the dark ages at Virginia Tech – when it took an entire room to house a computer and you had to hand in a stack of cards in order to run a program.  A born leader, she was the President of the Institute of Industrial Engineer’s Student Chapter at VA Tech with over 300 members.

She excelled in her  career and won awards as a corporate trainer and manager of multi-million dollar projects.  She has often been involved in teaching others how to use various types of software. She taught team building and helped develope state of the art business systems for several large corporations.

After 10 years as an engineer and manager, she headed off in a totally new direction following a personal crisis that literally changed her life.  She and her husband (at the time) started their own business. She began writing, assisting people in healing the pain from their past through education, long distance energy healing sessions, wild dolphin swims, and her alchemical product line, Dancing Dolphin Essences.

She got into building and marketing websites to advertise their company’s products and services. That was back in 1998 – years before Facebook and Twitter, even before Google and Dreamweaver really got off the ground. She quickly learned what it took to get a website or web page on the first page of Google results for the keywords being targeted.

When she and her husband separated, she took over as Internet Operations Manager for a Nissan dealership in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She designed, built,  and promoted the website, put up and maintained the company blog, handled all the on-line leads, and developed and automated the follow up email campaign for potential customers. In that exceedingly competitive market of on-line car sales, once again she was successful at getting the dealership’s site to come up on the first page of Google and other search engines. She did all of that part time mostly from home.

At one point, she attended an advanced internet strategies seminar put on by Cars.com and met her competition. Another Nissan dealership sent 6 of their guys to the workshop. That was only part of their on-line team. Debbie was very effectively doing the work of their entire staff, and she was doing it part time. Debbie’s engineering efficiency along with a deep and thorough understanding of how the internet works made that possible.

When her divorce was finalized and her father was diagnosed with cancer, she moved to Virginia to be with family and to begin again. For several months, she continued to run the entire Internet Department for the Nissan dealership from across the country. When management at the dealership changed, she started her own consulting business to help other businesses succeed on  line.

Debbie’s transformational newsletter, Here’s to Your Magnificence, has thousands of loyal readers from over 100 countries. She offers tools, insights, practical tools and techniques to transform your life and your business, heal the past, overcome fears, limitations, and other blocks to business and personal success.

When you marry heightened intuition with engineering logic, you can accomplish extraordinary things. She is often “inspired” with things to change and test on-line with what sometimes seems like miraculous results.

The websites she promotes for herself and her clients hold the top spots in Google and other search engines for the keywords being targeted. Even though the market has changed significantly over the years, her continued results prove that her company, Forchianna, can help your business successfully achieve the online presence it needs to compete in today’s market.

Debbie has written several books and is in the process of completing several more. Her numerous articles are available on line and in print.  She offers training on-line, on land, and at sea.

When she’s not on-line, she’s usually near water.
