First Step Member Community In November 2006, a leading Internet research firm announced that there were over 100 million Web sites. The problem today isn't the lack of good information - it's the monumental task of finding that information. Google does a good job - a great job, in fact - but even it has trouble sorting out the wheat from the chaff. I've been operating First Step for over 10 years. Clients love our Web site package, but they realise that just because you have a Web site, it doesn't mean you know enough to make it work for you. How do you know what to do, when to do it, and - importantly - how to make money with it? That's where the First Step Member Community comes in ... As a member of the community, you get access to additional resources to help you get the most out of your Web site. Over many years, we've accumulated vast amounts of information in these areas. More importantly, we've discarded even more than we've kept. Now, we're making this available to you in the "First Step Members Community". This is an exclusive members-only Web site where you'll find e-books, articles, Web sites, audio downloads, special reports and more. The community is a community, where you can communicate with other First Step clients and members. You can create your own profile, take part in discussions, upload photos and videos, and more. If you're familiar with social networks like Facebook, this is similar - except it's private and exclusive. What's in the Member Community?
