7 Ways for Starting a Business Online
1. Have an Online Presence
I don't care how old school you are. You need to be visible online. No one is using the phone book anymore. When they need something, from plumbing to somewhere to eat, they are going to jump online.
They're going to check Yelp, they're going to look at websites and they are going to make their decision from there. Don't rely on foot traffic. Have a website ready for them to see what you're all about.
2. Have a Social Media Presence
It's awesome to have a website, but you definitely want to take it a step further. Make sure that you are visible on social media.
Depending on the business that you have, you may want to utilize different forms of social media. Figure out what will give you the most exposure and hit it hard.
3. Word of Mouth
Encourage your customers to spread the word about your business. Even the simple suggestion of them getting the word out can be enough. If you can, give them an incentive to spread the word.
Always give them the best service, every time and they will want to tell everyone around them to check out your place.
4. Be Visible
You want your brand to be everywhere. Sponsor local events, make sure your sign is visible, print out shirts...do whatever it takes to be visible.
You want everyone to know that you're around and you want to create a buzz. Having your name out there will put it on people's tongues and in their mind, which will lead them to choose you over your competitors.
Starting a search engine optimization campaign is the most effective way in the early stages of starting a business to get yourself noticed.
Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a way of assigning keywords to your site. Picking the correct keywords will make sure that those who want to find you will.
Picking more popular but irrelevant keywords will get your business page traffic but will not convert this traffic into customers.
This will raise your place on a search engine list, but at what cost?
Using relevant keywords and networking within your niche will ensure that you will be notice and by the right people.
6.Create a relationship
Many business owners are more focused on the transaction instead of the customer. Many customers are accustomed to this kind of relationship, but creating a relationship with your clients before the transaction occurs can really make your business stand out to them.
Understanding what your customers want and creating a relationship will not only cause your business to be noticed but also bring customers back.
7. Create a blog
It doesn’t hurt any business to start up a social media page or a blog on their front page.
Having a blog will make the experience more personal and involve the visitors more in whatever endeavors are taking place.
Creating a blog or another social platform will help not only to get your business noticed but include the visitors and convert them into customers.
Knowing the tactics to get customers to notice your business will help greatly in the future its success.
Forming a personal relationship with these visitors will convert them into customers and that is the most important part of being noticed.
