Welcome back. An online marketing plan is the foundation upon which you build your website. How then do you create a marketing plan for your business before you start building out your website? Follow me as I lay out the building blocks of an online marketing plan. 1. Who are your target customers? In my various consulting sessions with clients (You can click here to book a free 30 minutes consulting session with me) when I ask them who their target customers are, a larger percentage reply with "Everybody." I ask them why they think their products or services are for everybody and they sometimes can't find the right words to express themselves or are just basically lost. You see, Not everyone is your client. Not everyone is your customer. This is where many people miss it. If you don't know your target customers, you won't know the right words to use for your website content as well as your marketing messages. Knowing your target customers helps you know where to focus your sales and marketing efforts. How then do you identify your target customers? Take time to answer the questions below and you'll be able to identify who your target customers are. - What is their demographic information (ex: age range, expertise, location, job title, hobbies, etc.) - What are their psychographic information (i.e., behaviors, attitudes, lifestyle preferences, personality types, etc.) - Where they hang out on and offline? - How do they like to communicate? - What pain points your product or service solves? To further help you, I have a recorded a free video training on how to identify your target customers. Click the Youtube link below to get access to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b4nX6aNsIM If you've got questions to ask, please do. I'll be willing to provide answers. Thanks for following this thread. Please, share it with your friends. See you soon. |

Thanks for reading this thread. I appreciate every second you spend doing this. However, reality dawns on them when they discover there's nothing to show for the beautiful website they have set up. Continuing from where I stopped yesterday... The major reason why a lot of business owners don't make a dime with their website is because they didn't have an online marketing strategy when starting out. Your online marketing strategy plays a significant role in how your website should be built. Your website should be built in such a way that both the content (copy) and the design elements work towards the same goal. Asides branding (colour and the likes), your website should be created with an intention that it should fulfill a marketing goal. This goal could be; - Booking a free consulting session - Booking a call me back - Subscribing to your email list to download a freebie - Getting a free trial for your program/software - Getting a discount coupon for 1st time website visitors. - etc. These are marketing goals that you need to have in mind before you set out setting up your website. For example, if you check out my website - www . iamjosephphilip . com (remove the spaces), you'll discover these marketing goals are incorporated. There is a CLEAR CALL TO ACTION on the homepage which is to book a free consultation call. The next call to action is to join my email list. Then, there's the call to watch my Youtube videos and finally, to read my blog. These are various touch points to get website visitors take action on getting to that website. Yes, it's not everyone that will take any or all of the actions. But by putting those clear CALL TO ACTIONS, I increase the chances of starting a relationship with a prospect. It may take months before such prospect becomes a customer but without laying the right foundation, that wouldn't be possible at all. I hope you are learning. Ask your questions and I'll be willing to provide answers. Keep following this thread. Share it with your friends or anyone who you know needs it. (That's another call to action) I'll continue later... Thank you. |

Welcome back. One of the major advantages that the internet brought along is the ability of small businesses to be able to compete on the same level as large corporations. Thus, you could see a company that started operations recently begin to get a good share of the market dominated by bigger companies in the past. Social media has also played a very large part in this. And that's why you see almost every business trying to get online so as to be able to cut their share of the market. In fact, having a website has become a necessity for businesses these days. You see people investing heavily or as much as they can to have a beautiful website setup for them with the kind of features that they have been told will help their business make more sales. These business owners are so enthusiastic about their new websites that they begin to blush like a lady being complimented whenever they talk about it. After the website is launched, they expect every Dick, Harry, Danjuma, Hillary, and Tochukwu to patronize their business. But to their shock, all they hear is the sound of crickets. They can't understand why they have not been able to make the kind of sales they projected to have before their website setup. They expected that the world will beat a path to their door (website) with cash to order for their services. However, reality dawns on them when they discover there's nothing to show for the beautiful website they have set up. You know the most annoying part? You want to know? Alright, here me out. This is the most annoying part... When the website designer reminds them before the end of 12 months that they have to pay renewal for hosting and domain. In their mind, they ask the website designer/developer, "It seems something is worrying you. How do you expect me to renew my hosting and domain when I didn't make a dime from the website for the entire year." But what they tell the website designer is, "I have heard you, I will get back to you." At the end of the day, they most likely won't renew. If na you, you go renew? The website designer is angry that another source of income is gone while the business owner is angry that there is no Returns On Investment made on designing the website. Is it the website designer's fault? Is it the business owners' fault? Follow this thread as I continue to write about these two angry people who want to make money but lack some basic understanding of what they ought to do. |
Webmasters / Re: Web Content Writing/development Support by Bigdreams(m): 12:36am On Oct 11, 2021 |
One of the major things I have observed many businesses do is that they make their website content about themselves and not about their customers. For example: "We are the best manufacturing company." How does your being the best manufacturing company help your customers? I could rewrite this as: In order to provide you better services, we recently upgraded our systems thus making us the best manufacturing company. Do you see the difference? That's how your website content should be. It should be customer focused. Do you understand now?��� Send me a message on Whats.App 0 9 0 775 772 5 2 |

Webmasters / Re: Is Creating A Website Still Advisable In This Era? by Bigdreams(m): 5:13pm On Apr 12, 2021 |
I will answer this question based on my experience over the years as a website designer who has also learnt online marketing. Yes, a website is still very much important in this era (and this depends on the kind of business you run though)... However, much more important is the strategy behind ensuring the website makes you money or converts visitors to buyers. There are many websites online that add no value in income or otherwise to the bottom line of the business. They are just there. The first thing you have to think of before setting up a website is this; how will this website make me money or improve my business? This is where the concept of the BUYER'S JOURNEY (simply called - FUNNEL) comes in. For example, if I want to setup a website for a Tax Consultant, I will ask him/her the following: 1. What are the EXACT SERVICES you want to offer? 2. What is the EXACT AUDIENCE (OR CUSTOMER) you want to reach out to. 3. What is/are the PAIN POINT(s) of your audience? 4. What EXACT SOLUTIONS do you have to the problems identified in No. 3 above? 5. Can you offer FREE CONSULTING or a FREE EBOOK/REPORT that can position you as an expert and also SHOW the solutions in No. 4 above? The detailed answers to these questions then assist me in creating the right strategy and online marketing framework to create a CONVERSION-FOCUSED website for the client. For some clients, they only need a landing page that will attract their right audience through paid ads (Google, Facebook/Instagram, Nairaland), etc. I am available for further discussion if you desire me to elaborate on this. Thanks. 1 Like |

letitrainnow: Hi, You will be needing detailed training. It's not just about telling you the interests you need to target. You need to know how to determine what exactly to target. There are some times you do zero targeting in order to be able to create a custom audience. You need to have installed a pixel on your landing page to be able to achieve this though. I have experience running facebook ads and can guide you properly. It's not going to be free but considerate. If you are interested, you can contact me on whatsapp, 0 9 0 7 7 5 7 7 2 5 2. My name is Joseph Philip. Thanks. |
