Marketing your business is simple. All you have to do is have a website, open a few social media accounts and post pictures, right? Think again. A successful internet marketing strategy involves more than just having an online presence. It involves planning, research and dedication – lots of it!
Most business owners don’t realize that aside from having a website, they need to have a well-planned internet marketing strategy to go with it. Sure, you have SEO, PPC, SMM and all the typical marketing strategies that we’ve been conditioned to use, but if you don’t have a solid marketing strategy then you won’t see any results. It takes much more than just a “pretty” website to get your business out there.
Over time, I’ve learned that patience and dedication is key when building an internet marketing strategy – and failure is the biggest lesson! This industry is a learning experience; not only for business owners, but for marketers as well. Why do you think professionals are so good at what they do?
So, how do you know it’s time to get the pros involved for an internet marketing strategy makeover? Let’s find out.
It’s frustrating when months go by and you notice little or no results. While most business owners think they can handle their own marketing themselves, sometimes it’s best to get some guidance from the pros.
A specialist will provide a stepping stone to not only jumpstart your marketing strategy, but also help you see actual results.
Social media marketing alone can easily be a full-time job – especially when you’re trying to market your business online and offline. It’s not just about posting pictures about your business and gaining followers, it’s about how many followers actually engage with the content you share. In this case, sometimes quality is better than quantity.
Some symptoms of social media marketing overload include:
There are plenty of businesses that offer some type of marketing or SEO package. Most of them promise to get you on the first page of Google in just two weeks, but let’s be honest – you can’t. It can take months to see a noticeable change on your overall ranking, and sometimes your original plan might fail. This is why most business owners get discouraged when considering a marketing specialist. However, if you do your research and find the right person to guide you through the process then it makes a huge difference.
Common concerns:
Making the decision to improve your marketing strategy is the first step toward helping your business grow. It’s not easy to put your business in someone else’s hands, but if you find the right person to fill in the blanks then it won’t be so intimidating.
