It is important that you understand how Search Engine Optimization works before you start. Ideally, websites would be rated by human beings who examined them for good use of keywords and keyword phrases. Instead, computers use a complicated formula to figure this out. Search Engine Optimization will help build your page rank so that users will find you.

Focus On What You Do Well

Juggling every aspect of your online business can be a recipe for disaster. At the start, it is definitely possible to get your feet off the ground with free hosting, free web platforms and free sidebar content, but when it’s time to break into bigger things, you just aren’t going to be able to manage all of it at once. Think about this. A successful small business has vibrant content, a consistent social marketing campaign, a careful SEO design, an eye-catching logo, a sleek e-commerce solution, an e-book, business cards, online advertising banners, interactive widgets, customer service up the wazoo… Do I need to continue on with this list? Once your business starts to pick up some serious traffic, it might be time to outsource or hire dependable help. At that point, it’s decision time. What do you do best? Are you a marketing god? Or a writing prodigy? Is your web design impeccable?

Here is a paraphrased summary of three different conversations I’ve had with business owners:

Business Owner (B.O.): “Marketing doesn’t work, I tried it.”

Me: “Really? Tell me more about that.”

B.O.: “I sent out a bunch of post cards and didn’t get a single response!”

Me: “Hmmm.. A ‘bunch’ you say? How many is a bunch?”

B.O.: “Two hundred and fifty!”

Me: “OK… and how many times did you mail this group of two hundred and fifty?”

B.O.: “Well, just once, why would I do it again if it doesn’t work?” (Silly me…)

In today’s highly saturated world where “experts” seem to crop out every single day and multiply overnight, it has become extremely important for you to step up to the plate and create a stronger personal brand. And one of the best ways to put yourself out there and make yourself known as THE expert in your field is to build a community around your personal brand.

If you think about it, no matter how great your brand is, no matter how much you keep promoting yourself to everyone you meet, without a community, your personal brand will simply remain stagnant. Though you have so much to offer your potential clients and customers, without the power of a community, your brand simply won’t achieve its full potential.
