Notes:

An Overview of Online Marketing

Your Website: The Minimum
————————-

The minimum I believe your website MUST have:

1. A professional appearance
2. What you do (Products/Services)
3. Contact information (minimum: phone number, email address and address)
4. Appear near or at the top in Google for your business name

Why do you need a website?
————————–

“Because everyone else has one” is not a good enough answer! What is the purpose of your website? What are your website’s Goals?

Goals
—–

When someone arrives at your website, you generally want them to take one of the following actions:

* Buy something on the site (direct sales)
* Contact you (lead generation)
* Find information
Each of these is a Goal.

Call to action
————–

For every goal you should have at least one clear Call to Action. Examples:

* Click here to contact us
* Buy Now, Add to cart

Measure
——-

To improve anything you must first measure it. You can track the number of visitors, where they come from, how long they spend on each page. Install Google Analytics free.

Apologies for the poor audio quality – City Hall is a wonderful venue but the acoustics made it difficult to get a good recording!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I like the video, though I had to replay on some parts. I hope you won’t mind if I share this blog with my friends who are planning to own a website. I want them to be sure of their reason so that their websites will thrive longer. Goal… My goal has always been to share information and–to sell something, of course. :)
