Online business is marketing your business online.
Marketing Is Bringing Prospective Customers To You
Having a website doesn’t mean prospective customers can find you.
Have a website optimised for the searches your prospective customers are doing gets you found online. Your market and keyword research form the basis of your on-page SEO. On page SEO is what makes it easy for search engines to offer your site up as the most relevant listing to searchers.
Bringing your market to you is about having your research, content, website, traffic and conversions all working seamlessly together. Working for you.
Online Business Tools
Your Website
Many business owners miss the opportunities a website places before them. A website is a 24 hours sales person. Your website should remove your prospective customers’ resistance to saying yes – not increase it. Yet, how many websites do that well. How many searches do you do where you get turned off buying rather than sold on it?
Your website isn’t a brochure.
It shouldn’t be all about you. it isn’t a showcase for how great you are because your prospective customers don’t care.
Your customers simply want to know “what’s in it for me”. They want to know what problem you will be solving for them and how. That’s all. Do it well and you will make the sale.
Your Website SEO
Having a website is not enough. A website does not automatically jump out in front of searchers online – like magic.
You are competing with every other website online to be seen. You get seen as search engines deem you are relevant to the search. Therefore you want to make it as easy for the search engines as you make it for customers.
Fail to do SEO and you fail to drive traffic. Great SEO drives targeted traffic – in other words buyers. Who couldn’t use more buyers stopping by?
Not doing SEO is not a cost saving it is a huge expense if you want to do business online. Isn’t it time you weighed up the value of the customers you miss without SEO against the cost of doing SEO.
To compete online you can’t afford not to invest in SEO.
Online Business Strategy
If you are really ready to succeed online – you need to develop a strategy.
As a business owner if you focus your strategy on building your business, getting and retaining more customers and creating more profitable sales then you will find the online business partner who can help you do more business than you dreamed possible.
Focus on websites and you will get a website. A website alone doesn’t equal better business.
Social Media
Social Media has become the latest buzz. However it won’t solve what already isn’t working online. It is part of a strategy but shouldn’t be your strategy in itself. If you have a website that isn’t getting traffic, or converting into sales you need to get help to fix that first.
You don’t want to risk being fooled to use social media to drive people to a sales tool that isn’t making sales!
There are many forms of social media. Each will only be as effective as your strategy and the use of that media by your market.
Social media has become the buzz but without market and strategy it can be a dismal failure and a huge expense. Don’t be fooled into thinking social media is the way to go because it is free. It can be a hugely expensive time and energy sucker. It can damage reputations when not managed well.
Conversely it can be a huge success as was the Ford Fiesta Movement campaign which generated not only a lot of buzz but huge sale in the first 6 days of the launch.
