Y we almost yet? It is a familiar cry even short and long trips with children.
I remember only willing to feel anticipation and you wish were already there when a new owner of the company told me that he had not received all businesses in his new blog.
It does not surprise me. Fast Phil (not his real name) created his blog about three months ago, but I always tell people that they should not expect to see all the results of their blogs for at least six to twelve months.
Phil quickly created his blog by itself. No designer web, no graphic designer, no copywriter. Unfortunately it is not in one of these companies.
A professional company managed by a true professional should have a professional design, but Phil has chosen not to make this investment. I don't know why. Its budget was perhaps too tight, that perhaps he thought that he could do the job himself as good or maybe he wanted only to learn WordPress.
You can do amazing things on the internet. A man as Fast of Phil allows small business to compete with much larger companies.
A great blog or Web site you will be see, but and this is the danger for owners of small businesses, a blog or Web site so so can you examine average, even if you are not.
Unfortunately, a bad blog or Web site will you not any large seem you.
Therefore, if you are a new business owner ask you how serious you are about the configuration of your own business, and how long you plan to stay in business.
If you want to really own a business, have an idea that you think and plan to make your main source of income for years to come, then, invest in it.
You can invest your valuable time in blogs and invest you too much money.
I advise new business owners spend too much money first, but without a good site, your company begins with an unfair handicap.
Ideally, the owners of small businesses and start ups will invest in a logo professional and business cards which can then be used as the basis for your Web site brand image.
You can cut to the professional brand image, or the professional Web site, if you are attached to the cash. But if you cut both your business start-up will be starting on a hill.
A professional blog design or a Web site designed in WordPress, so you can update it yourself should only cost $ 2 000 to 3 000. Classic well planned design that allows future expansion should last at least five years.
You will need to purchase your own domain (such as www.) name(Apple.com/fr/), but their cost only about $10. I see no well-known companies that have their own domain name and tell their customers to visit a Web site as www.apple.blogspot.com address.
There is also the cost continues to be the host of domain but for about $20 per month, expenditure is low. If work you at home and not as any other costs, it is a real boon. After all, your blog or your Web site should be your primary marketing tool.
The other thing that Fast Phil should be remembered with a company for the sale of services as is it is difficult to know what work you get through your blog.
Indeed, you will get not all work directly from your blog, but I hope that labour will come indirectly, people who read and was impressed.
Some examples from my own experience of blogging. Interestingly, I was not blogging for companies to get in the Hot Spot or so no there was no active sales. I mentioned just my company on my page.
These jobs and the connections happened organically after I had been blogging a year, but they would not come to me if I had not been blogging all the. I don't have to enumerate all the but they add up to tens of thousands of dollars of business in the past 12 months.
A huge work of writing and blog design me was mentioned by someone who was impressed because that Coca-Cola liked my blog and invited me to go to Shanghai. I had a blog design work because someone heard an interview with me on another blog and he liked enough to want to work with me.A client to the United Kingdom me committed to writing and social media management and project management because she liked my blog.I was employed for a fun travel writing work, well paid with some lovely benefits.Some work as blog design consultations just me directly from my blog, but most of it comes indirectly.
I have probably had no consultation work if I had not had a blog in any way, because the kind of work usually comes from the mouth, networking and contacts. My blog are these jobs for me.
Now, I also make money directly via my blog to sell my own books and a few selected products, I am an affiliate for.
That could happen only after I had created a readership and my blog. It took more than a year.
All of the above work came only because I stuck to long-term blogging and had a design professional blog
Opportunities fall into you lap. You will need to go to shake some trees.
The benefits of blogs are not only financial and professional for me. But you can't find what you are blogging Awards unless you stick with it long term.
You are there yet?
Which depends on where you are, but companies and effective blogs, are not built overnight.
Be patient, be determined and stick to blogging and you need to be rewarded in the long term.
