If you’re already earning from social media presence, GREAT! That’s a good start.  But, do you realize how much more money you’re missing b/c you have no history on a platform that YOU control? If you know anything about monetization or residual income from social media, then you know that it’s all about tracking and leveraging how many people follow YOU? 

Remember, your website is your storefront for the world. It doesn’t have to look like Target’s site, and cost $10,000…but you need a good one. It helps legitimize you to potential customers. And remember, many opportunities that come your way will ask for your website URL, from the door!  If you have nothing…you’re likely going to miss that boat!  It’s best to just have a place that YOU own, where you’re tracking your biggest assets–your customers.  

Yes, I’m well aware that you can leverage assets from other platforms like, social media sites… but you still need to be able to convert those from visitors to customers and to long-term repeat business.  THAT’S where your website comes in.  You get to channel business from  those other platforms to YOUR platform, your website.

This differs and depends on what you need and your available budget. But here’s the thing–whatever you choose to invest, expect a return!

Absolutely.  But don’t take my word for it.  Lean on the professionals who keep repeating this to entrepreneurs!  Here are a few of my favs:

I think I can attract enough business by word-of-mouth.  

I’ll never knock the power of having a good name in the streets!  If your service or product is awesome, people will tell people and it helps!  HOWEVER, consider this: 

Since we’re Texans, let’s assume you love BBQ.  Let’s say you’re in a different city and you want some.  You’ve heard there are some killer spots in the area,but you can’t remember the names of them.  You ask around and everyone tells you a different one is “the best.”  Well, assume you drive past one location and the parking lot is full and everyone walking out iw reviewing it as “the best BBQ experience they’ve had!  This place was not one of the places anyone mentioned when you asked, but since you saw the sign and the packed parking lot, it caught your attention.  So….you’re hungry, you have money in your pocket, you love BBQ, and you’re right there in their parking lot….what are you going to do?  You stop! You spend your money and you LOVE IT! 

So think of marketing your business the same way.  You’ll have competitors.  You’ll have similar products and services. Everyone will have their “favorite” place.  But you’ll get the business of people who want what you have, and can FIND you.  And, they’ll find you IF YOU PUT YOURSELF IN FRONT OF THEM.  People buy what they see!  And right now, online traffic is KING! 

Here’s a stat from notable research firm, Statista: In 2021, retail e-commerce sales amounted to approximately 4.9 trillion U.S. dollars worldwide. This figure is forecast to grow by 50 percent over the next four years, reaching about 7.4 trillion dollars by 2025. 

I was never great in math, but that’s a no-brainer! If you’re not online–and optimized in a way that buyers looking to spend, can find you–you’re missing this money boat!
