SEO Aware has been and will continue to offer online marketing classes because if businesses want to stay open they will need to learn, and keep learning, effective marketing strategies that work! I don’t see this economy getting much better anytime soon and I know most smaller businesses cannot afford the traditional marketing methods they used before.
Example, met a man this week who paid a newspaper $450 to have one of those pop-up ads advertise his business. His return? $ZERO! There are many people offering you “Great” and “Fantastic!” ways to advertise, but do they work? Do they bring you money or are you handing over hard-earned money and watching it disappear?
Did you know if you can’t afford a website Local Search options can give you an effective Internet presence?
Yep! If you can’t afford a site you can be out on the web and get found! But you have to take the time to learn how to take advantage of these fantastic options and set them up the right way. Learn more about Local Search.
Education – the Key to Everything!
If you are a business that is praying to stay afloat please consider taking the time to educate yourself on marketing options that will increase your visibility and increase your bottom line.
Do not believe everything you read online. More than half of the stuff I see gives false and bad information. Learn from credible companies and organizations. Attend seminars that apply to you and check out classes on marketing areas you might not know about. Read sites that are highly recommended or have a high following, because if they were bad they wouldn’t have a high following. Learn to do things right and your save time and money. You might even make some money!
Give yourself every opportunity to keep your business doors open. Don’t give up. Learn and try. If you still don’t make it at least you know you gave it your all, but more importantly, you will more knowledge than you did and this might help you with your future business ventures.
