BUSINESS TIP OF THE DAY

If it is too good to be true...

then it is very like that it is too good to be true... As a start up business, we are keen for quick results, and we are sometimes tempted by promotions that claim that they will find solutions to our most crucial challenges for little money or in little time (or both). Having started a web base natural stones jewellery business, I receive a high number of promotions promising 1000 of visitors to my site for as little as $3 per month. I would obviously love to improve the number visits to my site, however it has to be done in the correct way. The real truth is that you may indeed get those hits, but they may be using techniques that are not appropriate for my website, such as pop ups appearing when browsing realtes sites, advertising method which I find incredibly annoying and do not want to be associated with. They may also send non targeted customers or robots to click on your page and therefore you get 1000 hits (as promised) but no or little sales out of it. Nothing happens for free (or cheaply) and sometimes the old adage 'you pay for what you get' rings true...

Delegate!

Don't try to do everything yourself or you will find it difficult to focus on your core business. By taking on a VA to manage your admin, you will have more time to concentrate on your business plan and generating revenue.
