Struggling to Build your Business Online?

This will help you earn more, and keep your online business growing throughout the year.

Let's get started.   

Promote more often!

Set a goal to promote every day if you can, if not everyday, set a goal of 4 times a week.
Pick a time each day, perhaps the same time every day, set aside 15 - 30 minutes strictly for promotion.
Your business needs to constantly be promoted to generate sales and traffic to your site.
You have lots of competition and I can guarantee you that your competitors will be promoting even if YOU"RE NOT! 
People new to online marketing underestimate how much promotion is required.

Promote to more places!

Set a goal to expand your marketing reach every month at least.
It's easy to post to your same favourite places but it's important to tap into new markets.
Do your homework and be smart. Don't fall into the trap of buying your way to success.  You won't build a succesful online business by buying "clicks", harvesting tired recylecled emails, scraping data, or buying mass quantities of leads.  Good old fashioned promotion in lots of target marketing places, honest list building tactics, relationship buildng and customer care is what will grow your business success. 

Dig in and I really mean DIG in to social media sites. Your choices are many.

If you haven't done so already create a Facebook page for your business, start a niche specific group.
Create your own YouTube Channel and be an unabashed self-promoter. Post videos that are product specific, or try a how-to video, or an educational style video with soft promotional elements woven throughout. Be honest, helpful, people can tell if you are sincere.
Create a Linked In page, then remember to update it.
Haven't got a Twitter account yet? Now is the time.
When you have all your social media accounts set up, then you need to set time aside every day to update them, don't forget. Schedule this in.
Social media is like leaving breadcrumbs that lead a trail back to you, your products and your business so brand yourself accordingly and keep your social media up to date.
The last thing you want to look like is a business that has gone out of business, at least to the online world.  
Post often but be sure to post good content not just random links and promotion copy.
