Things people say about me

I work with people who have zero experience in building a website and all things related to WordPress. It’s always fun working in different industries and getting a behind the scenes tour of such a diverse range of products and services. Here are some of the reviews and feedback I have received and links to some of the articles I’ve written or appeared in.

Small Business Advice for Startups

@The SEO Boutique

I recently spoke to Rebecca from the SEO Boutique, a Brisbane based SEO firm in Australia about the challenges of starting a small business.

There are billions of people out in the world – enough business for us all. If the real you shows up, with your unique flavour and style, you can charge more, offer more and collaborate more. Hand off those clients to your colleagues that don’t suit your style – you might find they return the favour and hand work your way

@steer your business magazine

Sally from Steer Your Business Magazine in the UK puts together a monthly magazine to provide information to small business owners and encourage collaboration in the small business industry. My article “DIY Changes to make to your website for a big impact” featured in their May 2019 issue.

"If you’re not ‘Tech Savvy’ like me, yet you want to set up an online business… Although the sheer thought of all things ‘Tech’ scares the living daylights out of you, PlinkIT will not only guide you throughout your journey into the online world, they will also take away the overwhelm immediately. Melinda from PlinkIT has been an absolute godsend to me, with her expertise, guidance and support she completely took away the struggle and overwhelm with setting up my online biz, website design, online marketing and maintaining/optimising my website and online biz. If I ever got stuck, Melinda was always there to hold my hand and guide me through whatever I needed help with. To be honest I don’t know what I would’ve done without her and PlinkIT. So, if you want to simplify the set-up of your online biz in addition to optimising and maintaining it, PlinkIT offers everything you need and MORE!!!"

"Melinda helped me create a wordpress website and as my business has grown she has executed all my ideas. From an online booking form, to setting up my youtube and instagram channel, linking my social profiles to my website, adding google maps and setting up all my SEO. My yoga studio now appears as number one in google for Caloundra Yoga and most of my new clients find me online. She has taught me how to update my website myself and am now so confident to do this when needed. I highly recommend Melinda for any website work you need"

"I cannot recommend Melinda highly enough for her knowledge and expertise on the technical side of SEO! She provided me with an amazing hour long consultation and walked me through step by step what I had to do to achieve my goals. She has not only been helpful and reliable, but also honest in what I should expect to achieve for my site. Before working with Mel, my knowledge regarding search engine optimisation was limited. I now understand the huge ROI that SEO can bring to small companies and I now feel confident enough to attempt my on page SEO for myself. I am happy to say I am now even ranking on page one for 2 of my chosen keywords (and that's only in the first 4 months!). I’m excited to see what the future holds for my small product based business and want to extend a massive thank you to Melinda for making this possible"

"Melinda has helped maintain our Big Commerce store for our product Dragonfly for two years. She greatly improved the SEO of our website, improved our products by using photoshop, linked our store to Ebay, google analytics, facebook and instagram. She has worked on both our Bigcommerce website and our Wix website. We just didn’t have the time to learn all these new technologies so Melinda has been such a help executing our vision for our product. I highly recommend Melinda, she is organised, efficient, fast and if she doesn’t know something is quick to find a solution"
