Promote web site-The dos and don’ts

The don’ts
It is important to never spam people on social networking platforms to get traffic and sales on your site. Spamming people basically means that your are always posting links to your profile saying how you got something that is so great on your website or how your website have the greatest product to sell, is not good.

Spamming links to your site on your profile and all over that social platform you will not give you many results, for you are not providing people value. By providing value to people your business will grow.

Do not just create a website and expect traffic to just come to it without properly promoting it. The whole meaning promote is what will allow visitors and traffic to go to your website.

By not doing anything with your website and not putting out content for people to view, it would be a waste of time to just let it sit and wait for people to look at it. In order to promote a web site successful there will need to be some link building and content sharing to get your web site seen by the masses.

Also another thing to not do in order to promote your web site effectively is to procrastinate. One of the biggest enemies to building your business is procrastination. By giving yourself excuses you are literally preparing yourself to fail.

The best advice is to get over your doubts and fully believe in yourself. I have trouble sometimes myself with procrastination, but I overcome it and keep moving. Like the saying goes there is nothing to it but to do it.

The dos
Chose a good website theme suitable for your business.  You will want to do this so that when people visit your website they can get a feel about who you are what you are about. The theme you chose for you website should be simple, but elegant.

Also, no matter what business opportunity your are in, you will need to business brand you and not your company. You can easily brand yourself by not using your companies replicated or website and use your own.

Your business or company may be great, but people do not join business opportunities or buy from strangers as much anymore they join and buy things from you, from people, form someone that is trustworthy.

And by showing this and establishing that brand for yourself you will grow your business greatly.

Another good reason why it is importantly to brand yourself when promoting a website is because you can have multiple income streams on your site.

By not just having stuff about your company or business opportunity you could also offer people resources and products that they can purchase from you. And also with properly branding yourself on your website you can later down the road create own business products and your own business system.

I hope you enjoyed this post feel free to share it with others. :)

With a website being about your business you will need to make sure that you brand your site in a presentable way. It is recommended to have a site that is not too high tech, but nice and simple to where people can navigate and look around the site easily.
Get traffic


No matter what website or how good a website is it means nothing if there is no traffic or visitors coming to that site daily. There are many ways to getting traffic for your website, but it is best to stick to the simple but effective ways to getting traffic to a website, before trying to go on and doing all the crazy traffic methods that the top bloggers are using.

Some of the simplest yet effective marketing strategies for your website’s traffic is content marketing. Content marketing is where you put content on the net and have that content link back to your site.

Also depending on what your business is about you do not want any type of people going to your site, for you want people that are interested in what you have to offer on your business website.

So when getting traffic you will need to remember that you will need to put content up on site similar to your site or on a site that allows a mass source of information on it like YouTube or Article directories.

If you stay contestant to getting traffic through content marketing you will then begin to build up more back links to your site and therefore become discovered more in major search engines like Google and Yahoo. And that of course means more traffic to your site which is even greater.

Convert traffic
It is good to have traffic to a site, but traffic alone is not going to get your business website to turn into an empire. With traffic you need to be able to convert that traffic into sales. There is multiple ways into converting traffic and you can do that by building your list of potential customers with and opt in form on your site.

And by doing this you are able to continuously promote and offer people things they might want to purchase regarding to your business.

Free hosting vs Paid hosting

When I first came into creating a website for my online business of I course started blogging on a free web host like WordPress. At first I thought it was cool, but when I posted a Youtube video and it was take off a day later I was pissed.

I didn’t understand why I could not have a simple Youtube video up. But later I came to an understanding after I looked at the terms of services, and I saw on line 10 TERMINATION.
It explained how I can have my account and blog with WordPress terminated at anytime as they pleased. I then came to an understanding that I did needed to host my own blog so then I got my own host that I paid to register my domain/website. And it turned it out easier to control my blog because I could do what ever I wanted to it because I owned my website/blog.

It is recommended to have a post host for you are able to effectively brand yourself online.

WordPress blog or normal website?

Recently I have been wondering what types of websites do search engines favor the most. So i did some research and I learned that blogs beat regular websites by far when it comes to receiving love from search engines. So here’s a list of a few advantages blogs have over regular plain old websites.

1. Search engines like websites that are constantly updated with new content and blogs have one of the easiest platforms for creating new content.

2. Blogs have rss feeds and with the rss feeds anyone can submit their blog’s feed to a feed aggergator that allows that blog to gain traffic

3. Every time a blog is updated or receive new content that blog then pings to ping services literally telling the services “Look at me I am just been updated .” By doing this your blog gains traffic and gets it’s pages indexed faster on search engines. That is why webmasters tell people should keep their blog updated and post new content at least a few times a week.

4. Blogs especially WordPress blogs allow people to download plugins, which adds scripts and new functionalities to the blog. You can almost literally find any functionalities you want on your blog by searching for plugins that might exit. For example, let’s say you wanted your blog to display your twitter account. You could just type in twitter on WordPress and BOOM there is a list of plugins to chose from that you might want.

Am I not trying to put normal websites down lol or say blogs are better then websites, but when it comes growing a faster online business it might be best to use a blog.

What type of websites do you guys like most and why? Are they normal websites are hosted blogs like Blogger, WordPress, Woopra, and etc. ? Feel free to comment..
