How to Make the Internet Work for You

Tag: SEO

Selling Helps

You may be great at SEO, or social media, or citations or any of the other aspects that go into internet marketing and ranking and lead generation. But you need to do it for yourself as well as for other people or you won’t have any customers to do it for.

Social Media

One way is to have a presence on social media, particularly on Facebook and Twitter. You can use programs like Hootsuite to post on a regular basis. You can create many posts and schedule the out into the future when you want them to post. That will help. You also want to take advantage of Edge Rank in Facebook. It looks at how many likes and comments a post is getting and if it is popular then it will put it out to a wider audience still. So if you can get a group of friends to like and comment on a post about your business, you can get a broader viewership than you normally would. It helps if there is something compelling in the post.

Emails

You can also choose a target sector and send out emails and just play the percentages. If the email is well written and eye catching, you will get some responses. It is a numbers game and you just need to have large enough numbers. read more

When SEO Doesn’t Make Sense

For many companies, spending money on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) makes a lot of sense. That is because almost no one uses a phone book anymore. The first place they go to look for something is the internet. If you don’t show up in their search, you don’t get the business.

A Website Is Not Enough

Creating a website is not enough. If you don’t do things to cause people to find your website, no one will ever see it. And a business that doesn’t do any marketing usually isn’t going to survive. Search Engine Optimization helps raise your website in the rankings so that people will find it when they search and you aren’t buried on page 22 when they do a search.

What if People Don’t Know They Need Your Product?

But, what if people aren’t searching for what you offer? You can have your website at the top of page one for your keywords, but if people aren’t searching for those keywords, you have wasted money on the search engine optimization.

For instance, you have a company that sells a range of goods from mugs to travel accessories to shower amenities such as items to hold shampoo and other items. You aren’t set up to sell to individuals. You sell to stores nationwide and you sell chain stores and also through buyers. They may find you by an internet search, but you will probably need to be more proactive in going to them instead of hoping that they might do an online search that finds you. read more
