If you have a newsletter, you'll be able to follow up
with your readers and build a relationship over the long
run. If your competition doesn't have a newsletter and
you do, you'll already be well ahead of your
competition.
=>
Build Offline Relationships
Online business deals are very often made offline. For
example, in the internet marketing space a lot of traffic is
driven via JV emails that are all made based on offline
relationships.
Speaking engagements, affiliate deals, getting your products
on other people's sites, etc are all much more likely to
happen offline than online.
These can often result in high quality backlinks to your
website that you would have never otherwise gotten. It's
hard to get a PR5 link online, but if you build a
relationship with the site owner offline, it's very possible
if they respect what you're about.
=>
Update Consistently
Have
you ever had a favorite blog that all of a sudden stopped
making posts? Or been on a newsletter that just stopped
sending emails after a period of time?
Even
if they started to put out content again after a period of
time, the magic is gone - Their audience is lost.
To
build an audience, you need to consistently put out great
content. If you're a blog, a newsletter or a content site,
that means putting out content at predictable intervals so
your audience knows what to expect from you.
If
your site is a product or software, make sure you're
updating your products and your features on a regular
basis.
=>
Focus on Quality
Companies that tend to do great in the long run focus on
quality and customer satisfaction. Companies that tend to
make a little bit of money then drop out of business are
those to focus just on making a sale.
Put
out the best content you possibly can. Answer questions when
customers ask them. Try and get your response time as low as
possible.
Above all else, make it your company's culture and brand to
provide great content and service to your customers.
|
Do this and your customers will come back time and again
as well as refer your site to other people.
Every market has hundreds of competing websites.
To make yours stand out, deliver quality, update
consistently, stay in touch with your customers with a
newsletter and boost your business with offline
relationships.
