Last night was a great night for me. For the first time I have started seeing the importance of marketing your website just as you would your own local business. After about one year of going back and forth avoiding to do the things that are necessary to make my business grow,
I had taken the time to design my website to do the best I could and try and write information that was useful for anyone who visited my online business. Unfortunately, after a whole year, I never used to get anymore than 10 visitors to my website.
It was my kids who reminded me how much time and effort I put towards marketing my small business. I actually spend most of the time setting up mailing lists and sending out brochures than working on the business. That I leave for my wife. To be honest, it has worked very well.
As for the internet, I totally ignored good marketing practice and let my site die. Until this year that is and my efforts have been rewarded every day since I started doing that.
I will soon be listing the exact things that I did to start marketing my online business.
