Objectives and Risks of Owning a Small Business Website

website ideas (Photo credit: Sean MacEntee)

Having a website is one thing, but marketing it is something completely different. There is no magic button, or special hidden secret to marketing your website. There are however a few things that must be done in order to market your website appropriately. There is no use in having a website if no one ever sees it!
According to Sutevski the most important objectives for a business website are:

Reaching the target market.
Attract visitors to your Website.
Encourage them to buy your products and services – to take action.
Make them to want to come back to your Website for free or paid content, products or services.

Creating a website that will appeal to your target market is important. Otherwise you will have a high bounce rate, which means that your potential customers are not staying on your site very long. People don't stay on websites very long because they are not finding what they are looking for. It's important to make it appealing to the eye as well as interesting to your niche.

Attracting visitors by submitting your URL to search engines and using meta tags is not enough. If you want traffic you have to use network marketing. That means Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Tumblr and so many more. Pick a few that you like and are comfortable with. Make sure when posting to your network that you are not bombarding your potential customers with ad after ad. Post original and premium content. Be creative and watch your followers grow.

No one is buying your products? Is your website set up for payments? How are your item descriptions? Do you have quality photos of your products or the work that you have done?

If you want your customers to come back you need to remind them. The easiest way to do this is with a mailing list. Set up a sign up box on your website with a short form your customers can fill out their personal information. Send out emails with promotions and special events.

As far as risks go, security is the top priority. According to The Startups Team "Credit card criminals are increasingly turning their attention to smaller e-commerce sites, using stolen credit cards to buy goods online, so you have to have the right level of security in place." If you are keeping this information in house on your own servers you need to make sure that it is protected. If you have contracted a separate entity to manage this information for you steps need to be taken to ensure the security of your customer's information.

Pin of the Month!

I want to start a new monthly theme here at Misanthropy Creations where I chose an Etsy item to pin that is my favorite. I will probably also have runner ups in the future. I came across this picture tonight and I was stunned and needed to share it! So here is my very first Pin of the Month!

New Items and New Craft!

So I thought I had the day off yesterday but it turned out that I was scheduled to work. So quickly after I finished making these babies, I had to hurry and get ready to go to work and I was out the door. They are really pretty and sparkly. My phone camera doesn't do a very good job of showing that and I will have more pictures for this listing in my Etsy shop soon. Click on the picture to learn more info on how to get your fingers are these pretty sparkly rings!

After I got home from work I started on this guy! I love making notebooks and I have made them before in the past but it has been a hobby long forgotten. I think it's about time that I picked up this craft again because I fell in love all over again last night with this notebook. Hopefully, I will have time to work on some soon and put some up in my shop for sale as well. I will also have to work on a DIY for the next one that I make. I always, always, always forget to take pictures while I'm crafting so I can make DIY later. It is such a bad habit!

Well that is pretty much all I have been up to lately, other than work!

I have over 70 new items that I need to add to my Etsy Shop. The last couple of weeks while I was not at work I spent crafting! I am slowly trying to add new items every day! Here are a few that I have added over the past week.

In the next few weeks I will continue updating my shop with new items and letting you know about them here first! I also made the decision today that I want to do something with my backyard. I have been on Pinterest all day long searching for ideas. My friend Peyton (the brunette) and I will be transforming my plain back yard into something truly amazing and I can NOT wait. I will make sure to post pictures of the progress I make, before and after photos and tutorials so stay tuned and keep reading because there is some very exciting stuff to come if you are into a little outdoor work!
