Hello!
You feel energized and excited when you start a business. You have all these brilliant ideas and a clear vision of how things will work. Then you create your products and offer your services. And then, something happens. You are no longer as passionate.
You begin to notice other people succeeding that you consider less qualified. People who started their businesses after you succeed before you. It’s hard to believe that the world can be unfair when you start to see frown lines on your face.
When your soul feels sucked out, it can be difficult to continue your business.
Here are five ways to boost your business before you return to work.
Top 5 Tips to Give Your New Business a Boost
1. Build your reputation via press releases and articles
This allows businesses to be seen and makes them more visible. What does it feel like to be a business owner who is just starting? Potential clients will find you on Google when they search for your business.
Press releases can help people understand your brand and its purpose. Articles can be used to convey a more personal message. Articles have been a way for me to build my brand. We have also taught my clients how to pitch writers and journalists to share their messages.
2. Build your social media presence
Social media is a must-have if you want to increase your visibility. In most cases, your online presence must be as strong as it is offline. Many social media managers will help you build your site, even if you don’t have the budget.
Many of these people will engage with your target audience, post content, and help build your following. These are great tools to help you get started. You can expand your reach as you need.
3. Work on your SEO
SEO is the magic word that we all recognize and can understand, but often struggle to articulate. SEO stands for search engine optimization. SEO is your best friend as a business owner.
Search engine optimization is what makes people search for you. If you are a life coach, for example, you want your content to appear when someone searches “life coach”, “happiness training”, “performance coaching,” or “business coaching.”
This is also true for PR professionals. If someone searches “PR agency”, “branding”, or “marketing”, their content should appear on the page. Google should pair your occupation and name naturally.
4. Find influencers in your niche to market for you
You should be able to draw on the audiences of others when you’re starting your business. Why? It’s frustrating to look at the same five followers who aren’t buying, and it gets boring.
You can find “micro-influencers”, aka ordinary people with a lot of “pull” (over 3,000 followers), and trade with them. While some will not work with you unless you pay them, others will barter with you.
Barter is a term that’s used to describe an alternative payment or arrangement. If an influencer offers to promote your course by posting four times per month and you don’t have the time, but you know that the influencer requires someone to edit their podcast, and you are skilled at this, that might be the exchange.
This is called bartering. It’s something I do all the time, especially on Instagram. It works. It works. So think about what skills you have and how you can help others.
Instead of trying to sell your products, focus on helping other people. People are always in our inboxes. The most memorable messages are those that express humanity, kindness, and mutual benefit.
5. Try email marketing
It’s great to have thousands of followers on your social media platforms. It’s great to have thousands of potential customers and customers.
What isn’t great about having thousands of customers and potential customers? Not having all the contact information of these people in one place. What good would it be if someone purchased your course and you didn’t capture their email?
How will you know if your clients are successful? It is important to get as many potential buyers as possible on your email list. Why? Because email marketing can be used to reach them.
You can send them inspirational blog posts, new offers, and “Happy Anniversary” messages. How can you do this for 500 people on Instagram Do you want to reach 500 people via DMs? Or would you prefer to just send one email to all of them? Email marketing allows you to keep up with your contacts.
Although it is hard work, you can still be an entrepreneur. We often glorify entrepreneurship and the rewards, but we tend to overlook the hard work that it takes to get those rewards.
Do you recall your last job? How did you do “this” while someone else did it? You are now the person who runs all the departments. It won’t be easy at first but it is possible.
You can’t see to the right or left to see what others are doing if you don’t know how to look and not get discouraged by what you see.
Don’t be discouraged by people who started their businesses six months to one year ago and have become millionaires. Also, don’t feel like you’re failing because you’re not a millionaire as many people claim.
You are right. You are right on target. Farmers don’t reap the fruits of their labors in the same year they sow the seeds. This is your sowing season. If you have been doing it all by yourself, it might be time to hire a coach. Maybe you already have one and it’s time for a new one.
