Coquitlam Internet Marketing- Why You Need to Market Your Business Online and What You Should Know to Position Your Business for Success
Why would you need to market your business on the internet? If you want to increase sales and profits then you need to take action because your competition already are. The first adopters of anything are generally the ones to succeed. 85% of British Columbians are online on a regular basis and an overwhelming majority of people are searching for YOUR products or services in your area. So the question is…. are these people finding your business or your competitors?
If you think that having a fancy pants website with flash and dazzle will bring in traffic and sales to your business website then you’re sadly misinformed. There is nothing wrong with having an eye popping website but this alone is not enough. Where most businesses fail in the process is having their site optimized to target the correct market.This isn’t the business owners fault and web design companies don’t usually specialize in this area.
The Coquitlam Internet Marketing secret sauce is getting targeted visitors that come to your site and then take action on buying or signing up for some valuable information. There is no point on having lots of traffic to a website if they don’t convert into sales.
The first step in the process of internet marketing that I do is to understand everything about your business, the sales process, website, products and what you are clearly wanting to achieve. This way I can come up with suggestions and a plan of action for you.
Some suggestions that I make to you could include some or all of the following:
- SEO -search engine optimization
- Build a direct response website
- Email marketing
- Video Marketing (very powerful)
- PPC – Pay Per Click, paid advertising
- Article Marketing
- Blog Marketing
- Social Media Marketing
The items above are suggestions that can help you increase your sales, leads and web presence. These tactics are used to position your business in a highly visible spot where people are searching for your products and services.
Thanks for the newbies steps. That is helpful. I have a question, as a newbies, how do you build credibility in the niche? I assume we need to build credibility to build the list?
You build credibility by providing useful information and by becoming a solution provider for people’s problems. Build relationships first and the selling comes naturally. By becoming a fountain of information you automatically become credible in the eyes of your potential customers/clients.
Are you making money through your blog now?Well,I decide to try making money online ,but I still have many questions.Can you give me some tips?
Barbara,
if you have a passion for something then that is a big step in online marketing. It’s not essential but it helps.
Proper keyword research, great original content, video marketing, article marketing, Twitter, Facebook are some huge ones. Be helpful to people and provide Solutions to their problems (not sales pitches like most people do). Remember to build relationships first because people like to do business with people that they like, know and trust.
