Amazon Walmart ebay Seller Blog & Consultancy Design Project

A) Blog Name: The AntiSeller B) Consultants Name: AWE Advisor

Ecommerce consultant specialzing in third party marketplaces including Amazon, Walmart, and ebay (hence "AWE" Advisor). I am launching a blog called "The AntiSeller" (http://www.theantiseller.com), which I want to have integrated in with a basic site, which would be my consulting website (http://www.aweadvisor.com). I am not exactly sure how to do it, but you can go either to the consulting site, and from there link to the blog, or go to the consulting site, and from there link to the blog. The consulting site is a professional site targeted more at corporations and large sellers, while the blog is informational, to primarily drive traffic to consulting business. The reason to call the blog The AntiSeller is because everyone else tells you how great and easy it is to sell on these marketplaces and how much money you can make - my blog will tell you the truth and all the reasons and problems why you should not be selling on these marketplaces - that way when you decide to, you have realistic expectations of what to expect, and can avoid the pitfalls that so many new sellers, large and small make. Make sense?

Needs to be earnest and professional in its look, I want to find a way to integrate the blog and the consulting business. Am totally open and flexible other than that. One idea for the consulting is to use the logos (somehow) of the 3 marketplaces in the "AWE" consulting. But very open - just really want a modern, clean, and relevant website that will hold my target customers' interest.

Home page, with permanent header. Blog. Services. About Us. Contact. A box with our primary service that would always be on the page as well as you scroll down, in a call to action box.

No pink, turquoise, purple, that is about it :)

I have not exactly figured out how to integrate the blog with the static consultancy, which is why I have been procrastinating on getting this project going. On the one hand I want to make a statement with the blog that is different from everybody else, but at same time I want to sell consultancy services through a professional advisory service. So somehow the two need to complement each other and work together. I see the consultancy having a more traditional logo, whereas the blog not so much. I am really looking for somebody creative that understands what I am trying to do find a great solution.

ADDED: Based on some of the questions that I have received, I wanted to add this personal statement that will hopefully help in helping me design this blog and website: On background on this site, I have been procrastinating on getting this launched for a long time, not sure why, especially since I wrote my first book on selling on Amazon 10 years ago! But when I think about it, normally a vision pops into my head, but somehow for this, the vision does not come. The primary service that I want to sell is 45 minute consulting sessions, where the first 15 minutes is free, but after that you pay $100. You can ask anything you want to a true expert that will answer your questions covering anything about online selling. I wish I had had the opportunity to speak to someone like me (many times) when I started out more than 20 years ago! There is so much dis-information online. Everyone is selling you something, worst of all especially when you are desperate and, for instance, your Amazon seller account is suspended. So I intend to offer people the opportunity to ask me their questions and I will help them. If after the first 15 minutes, they don't think they will get value for money, they can say so and they will be refunded in full. So, for the site, the blog will provide a lot of very unique content and insight into selling online, that will demonstrate a very high level of knowledge and expertise. But my goal is to get people to sign up for a 45 minute consultation. So the site needs to be configured in such a way that that is the primary "Call to Action" - this will be geared towards smaller and medium sized sellers. Also, I already have, and want to attract more larger corporations and large sellers for my consultancy business. That is what the AWE Advisor site will be. But I still expect them to find my site through the content and articles in the blog, The AntiSeller. Hopefully this gives you a better flavor of what I am about :)
