Your Website Is Just the Beginning

A well-designed website is important — but it’s only one piece of the puzzle.

If your site isn’t being seen, isn’t engaging your audience, or isn’t converting visitors into customers, it’s not doing its job.

That’s where strategy comes in.

At Upward Trend, we don’t just build websites — we build visibility. With our Trend Setter Package, we combine SEO, social media, email marketing, and more to make sure your online presence actually drives business growth.

Because what’s the point of a great website if no one finds it?

Why Soft Skills Matter More Than Hard Skills in 2025? | The Personal Gro...

85% of career success comes from soft skills… so why are we still obsessing over hard skills?

Most people think hard skills are the key to career success. But research from Harvard, Carnegie Foundation, and Stanford shows that 85% of job success actually comes from soft skills—like communication, teamwork, leadership, and adaptability.

In this video, we’ll break down why soft skills matter more than hard skills, and how mastering them can future-proof your career in the U.S. job market. Whether you’re trying to land a promotion, become a better leader, or simply stand out at work, developing soft skills could be the difference between staying stuck and moving ahead.

Trend Setter Package

Our Trend Setter Package is unique in that it offers even the smallest businesses the marketing power of a much larger business. We do this by combining all of our services into one low cost monthly package, which ensures your Internet properties are updated regularly every month.

Think of it this way; You open a business and want some customers. So, you put out a sign. Then, you want some more business. So, you put out a sign down the street, then two streets over, then out on the freeway, and pretty soon you have them all over town. People now know about you even if they have never been in your store or used your services.

This is exactly what we do for you via the Internet. Beginning with a website, we add a blog, a monthly (or more often for some businesses) email newsletter, social networking in Facebook, Twitter, Linked-in. Next we add a YouTube channel and video is included. We help you get found. Last is our own consulting to help you get the best of our services and more.

We do this in a systematic way, which allows us to keep the cost low. Now, virtually every business can afford to look like a much larger business.

Each business is different. Give us a call to talk about your specific business. We will let you know how little it takes to get started right away.
