Make the most of your Sitebuilder website!
This is a rewrite of a newsletter sent out to my customers in December of 2008.
This month I want to share some ideas of the little things you can do with your web site that will impact the success of your business. For those of you on on the Sitebuilder technology, your service comes with many valuable tools at no extra cost.
Search Engine Submission
Your website allows you, with the click of a button, to submit your website to Google and MSN. These are the top 2 Search Engines! All you have to do is:
- Login to your control panel
- Click on “Sites” on the left panel
- Click on your domain name
- And, click on the “Search Engine Submit” button
It’s that simple! Make it a routine practice to submit your site at least once a month to ensure you get listed.
Mmultiple sites - One Admin
If you have multiple websites, you can easily manage all of your websites under a single account. When implementing a marketing strategy where you have multiple websites devoted to individual services and they all cross-link to each other, your web presence and search engine popularity is magnified.
Now you can access all of your websites through a single login for easy updates and management.
This is the perfect time to add a new website to your business strategy to increase your popularity and expand your web presence. Contact me to give you a special setup fee. There are three monthly service plans starting at $15 for basic service up to $50 to access all of the web tools (includes: blog, forum, shopping cart and much more).
Community Marketing
Blogs and Forums are nothing new. These tools are a powerful communication method used to reach out and engage existing and potential clients.
Why would you want to do that? Because it is the least expensive way to get to know your customer and understand their needs. And, when carefully planned as a business strategy, what you learn, based on what the public is telling you, you are empowered to tailor and position your products and services to meet those needs. If you want to know how to better serve your customer a Blog or a Forum is the tool that enables you to ask them.
If you need assistance with understanding how you can integrate Blogs or Forums on your website, call me.
