These days, many people are looking for ways to increase customers to their small business<\/em>. It doesn\u2019t take a genius to figure out that the more customers you have, the more money you\u2019ll make which increases your potential for growth.<\/p>\n Web use has grown tremendously over the last few years as people are searching for information more than ever.<\/p>\n 1\/3 of the world\u2019s population is on the internet<\/strong> and believe it or not, ever second, almost 8 new people come onto the internet.<\/p>\n Advertising companies see this huge shift and the days of TV ads and print ads are slowly dying out. Phonebooks are dust collectors<\/strong> for lack of a better term.<\/p>\n Get your small business listed at the top of Google and you\u2019ll get more traffic than you can handle. When I got this article on CopyPasteCash<\/p>\n Having content in the search engines will never go away. If you take some time to write \u00a0a top quality article, it will get a lot of traffic.<\/p>\n Write an article about a problem relating to your industry and when people read it, they will immediately see you as THE SOLUTION. You\u2019ll be something like a superhero to them.<\/p>\n Blogging is a great way to put your business in front of people. If you learn the correct way to use blogging, you\u2019ll know\u00a0just how to get in front of your customers.<\/p>\n The whole concept of blogging is to build your authority<\/strong>; show that you know what you\u2019re talking about. When people feel you are an authority figure, they are more likely to buy from you.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a known fact that you could have the greatest product in the world but people don\u2019t always buy from you because of what you have but because they like who you are.<\/p>\n To build you authority, you could give tips and strategies that relate to your industry.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you\u2019re a hair stylist. If you give tips on how to treat hair after leaving the salon, who do you think they\u2019ll come to when they need their hair done?<\/p>\n Just goes with the motto \u201cgive and ye shall receive<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll give you another perfect example. Go to almost any top website. 9 times out of 10, you\u2019ll either see a link to a blog in the navigation menu or the site is a blog. In the last few years, the budget for company blogs (along with social media) has TRIPLED from 9% to well over 20%.<\/strong><\/p>\n Back in the day, businesses would send out these massive direct mail campaigns that would cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. It\u2019s a known fact in the advertising industry that direct mail still works, but it\u2019s very expensive and becoming less effective for new leads.<\/p>\n As you read earlier,\u00a0people are online now more than ever so it would only be smart to capitalize on this.<\/p>\n A blog allows you to instantly put your your business in front of customers who actually care about what you\u2019re saying.<\/p>\n A long time ago, I was on the Delta Airlines website<\/em> and saw that they had a blog. This struck me as odd because I wondered just what they had to talk about on their blog. Turns out they were giving out tips on traveling and how to save money. Great stuff for people looking to save money on traveling.<\/p>\nWhy you should take your small business online<\/h2>\n
