Manicle:
I pulled a chair and sat down with myself, tired of applying the same marketing and sales tactics you can think of over the years without results. if it’s not making money, then it’s not making sense, I concluded. This left me with a question: Why don’t people buy what I sell?

Then I found out a few truths that work across all businesses. Imagine your business in the points raised - it’s the best way to utilise this wisdom for your business:

Not everybody is your client
I was so used to Instagram, and Facebook, and I would post often on that platform, only that I wasn’t getting results. I sell strategies for doubling marketing results and raising capital for any kind of business, especially tech startups. So I asked who my audience is and where can I find them?

I discovered my target audience to be people who want to start a business and people are looking for businesses to invest in. This audience spends less time on Instagram and more on Search Engines reading and researching.

HubSpot attracts over 4 million monthly visitors to its website through blogging. Neil Patal, has over 2 million monthly visitors, and Buffer, has over 1 million monthly visitors. They all promote their products and services and generate leads through blogging.

80% of decision-makers want articles, not ads from potential partners (Source). And helpful articles always attract new visitors to your site and nurture them. 41% of B2B marketing representatives read three to five pieces of content before engaging with a sales representative (Source). And when they enjoy your service, they refer others to you.

Upon discovering who my target audience is and platforms they can be found the most, I built my website and started got active on LinkedIn where I’d become more visible and easier to to be found by my target audience. Note that I said ‘’to be found’’ not ‘’to find’’.

Making sense yet? No? Just picture your own audience in this example and it will.

People will always recognize quality
Since I published How To Start A Fabrics Business In Nigeria with Little To No Amount in 2019 on Nairaland, I have never stopped getting clients through the blog post. For years, Google ranked it topmost on search engines. We know that 95% of search traffic goes to the first page of search results (Source), so imagine the leads I have been getting in the past 4 years.

My content was original, detailed, and SEO rich. Original in the sense that it had fresh information and a new perspective to it without repetition or too much paraphrasing of a post from another blog. Detailed in the sense that it was very specific and has lots of valuable info. SEO-rich in the sense that it was well-optimized to increase the potential for ranking among the topmost on the first-page of your search engine when anyone searches for anything online with keywords related to your product and service offerings. So, I defined what I do, defined my audience and where to find them, then I dished them quality content that was very helpful; content that is not easy to come by because of its quality and originality. The content became a bee attracting honey all by itself.

By the way, if you are not a blog writer or an SEO writer, it is highly advised that you outsource it to a professional. Oh yes, it will cost you a fortune, but you must realize that paying for a marketing that drives results is an investment. And while the result is not always instant, it is perhaps one of the most effective forms of marketing and sales.

People would pay anything for a solution.
I had an experience years ago that taught me that so long as people perceive a solution to their pain point, nobody rejects a working solution simply because the solution giver is not popular.

Since my strength is in strategy for raising business capital, I I wore my product manager hat and started researching and developing strategies for business funding that work 99% of the time. Took me months of trial and error, failing so many times, and learning for each time I failed, until I became good at it.

I did a sampling on an investor, the investor agreed with some of my tactics. He confirmed that if applied on him or any other investor, I’d get him to invest. At that moment, I knew I had done a good job with my homework - my product is good enough to speak for itself if it has to.

Next, I started addressing funding issues and workable solutions in my articles, and this started and continued to attract people from Nigeria, UK, US, and beyond. Many read, and for every month, I got a message in my DM from someone telling me how they found me through one of my articles they wrote that was quite educative.

For every one satisfied client, there are nine potential clients
So I learned early enough that the best form my marketing is referral. It has succeeded as one of the oldest forms of marketing as well. As a result, I tweaked my marketing tactic in such a way that for every client I get, I tell myself that there are 9 other clients in this person, and that what I do with this client would determine if he will refer me to the nine others or I will lose this very one that I have.

This pushes me to give my very best in terms of service to the client, ensuring that he/she is satisfied enough. I ensured RESULT was the biggest and most important word in my dictionary. This six letter word has driven me to ends that get clients wondering if there is more to it that I am getting than the money they’re paying for my services. They just couldn’t understand.

And every time I did a good job for them, I often got referrals. Now, imagine having new customers plus referred customers every month. Making sense?

Next Steps:
If you ask me, I’d tell you the best part of this article is where you put to the test everything you have read about attracting new clients monthly for the next 3 month, and compare the results with your current sales performance afterward. And if you need help with getting started, you can contact me directly. Hope the article helped!

ibabz:
I have been on this forum for a while, but I must confess that I am increasingly disappointed by what Nairaland has become. What was once a platform where people could exchange ideas, debate issues, and learn from one another is gradually becoming, in my opinion, a breeding ground for religious bigotry, tribalism, selective censorship, and double standards.

I have made my decision. I am done here.

I wish everyone who genuinely seeks knowledge, meaningful discussion, and mutual respect all the best. I hope Nairaland can one day become the platform many of us believed it could be.

Lord, I just want to lay my life and my future career at Your feet and ask that Your grace and favour would rest upon me, as I earnestly seek Your guidance, praying that You would establish the work of my hand and lead me in the direction that You would have me to go.
 
Direct me I pray, into the career path that You have chosen for me, for I desire to be in the center of Your will and I pray that You would open the right doors through which You would have me go, and keep those places that You would not have to go, firmly closed

Lord, I ask that You would give me godly insight and wisdom in these important career choices that I need to make. Lead me along the way that You have prepared for me, for I know that You have scheduled every day of my life and I do want to follow that path that You have planned for me, and not deviate from it. I pray that You would also equip me with the skills and qualifications that are needed. May my life and my career be used to Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name,
 
Amen.

Many people buy a generator the way they buy shoes: a size bigger "just in case." It sounds sensible, but it isn't.

A diesel generator works best when it is doing real work, about 70 to 80% of its rating. Run it far below that and you waste fuel, and soot can build up inside the engine. Here is a simple way to think about it. A generator labelled 100 kVA gives you about 0.8 of that as usable power, so roughly 80 kW. Before buying, add up everything you will run at the same time, then choose a size that this load fills about three-quarters of the way. It matters because a 100 kVA generator uses roughly 17 to 20 litres of diesel an hour at 75% load. Over a 10-hour day, that is well over 150 litres. Before you buy, ask the seller three things: what total load can this carry comfortably, is the rating prime or standby, and how many litres an hour does it use at 75% load?
I work with diesel engines and generators at Diaphanous Company Limited, so this question comes up a lot. If you tell me what you plan to power, I can help you work out a sensible size.

What size generator are you running, and how long does it work each day?

ssdigimarkbpl:
You've seen it happen. A business spends a good chunk of money on a website. The launch party is basically a group chat full of compliments. The colours are sharp, the photos are lovely, and the homepage slider moves like butter. Then three months go by and the contact form has collected exactly two messages, one of them from a spam bot.

So what went wrong? The site looks great. The trouble is that "looks great" and "brings in customers" are two different jobs, and plenty of websites only do the first one.

Pretty is not the same as persuasive

Most of us judge a website the way we judge a shop window. We notice the design first. A visitor, though, usually arrives with a question: Can this person solve my problem, and what do I do next?

If your homepage opens with a clever tagline like "Redefining excellence" and doesn't say what you sell, that visitor leaves in about eight seconds. They don't fill in a form to find out. A good website designing company in Bhopal will push you to say plainly what you do, who it's for, and where you work, because clarity brings in more enquiries than decoration does.

The slow-loading problem nobody mentions at launch

Big images and animations look wonderful on the designer's fast office computer. On a mid-range phone with patchy mobile data, the same page can take six or seven seconds to show anything. Most people won't wait. They tap back and try the next result.

This is where a dependable web development company in Bhopal earns its fee. Compressed images, clean code and sensible hosting never get compliments in the launch-day group chat, but they decide whether anyone stays long enough to read your pitch.

Nobody can find the contact button

It sounds silly, but it's common. The phone number sits in tiny grey text in the footer. The contact page is tucked three menus deep. The form asks for eleven details, including a fax number nobody has used since 2004.

Think of it from the visitor's side. They're a little interested, a little busy, and slightly suspicious. Every extra step you add gives them one more reason to quit. A tap-to-call button, a short form with three fields, and a WhatsApp link where it fits your business will often do more than a full redesign.

You built it for you, not for them

Business owners naturally want to talk about the company's history, awards and the founder's vision. Fair enough. Customers mostly want to know about price, timelines, past work and whether you'll pick up the phone.

Try a simple test. Hand your homepage to a friend who knows nothing about your industry and ask what you sell and what they'd click next. If they hesitate, your visitors do too.

Trust signals are missing

Someone who has never heard of you is taking a small risk by getting in touch. Your site has to lower that risk. Real client names, genuine reviews, photos of actual projects, a proper address, and a visible phone number all help. Stock photos of smiling strangers in suits do the opposite, since people can spot them from a mile away.

The site looks great, but nobody can find it

Sometimes the design is fine, the speed is fine, and the enquiries still don't come, because hardly anyone is visiting. If your pages aren't set up for the things local customers type into Google, you've built a lovely shop on a street with no footfall.

This is why design and development should be planned together with search in mind: proper page titles, sensible headings, mobile-friendly layouts, and content written around the words people really use. A team that treats SEO as an afterthought hands you a beautiful brochure that lives at an address nobody has.

So what actually fixes it?

You rarely need to start over. Most of the time it's a handful of unglamorous fixes:

• Rewrite the homepage so a stranger understands your offer in one glance
• Speed up the site, especially on mobile
• Put your phone number and a short form where people expect them
• Add real proof: reviews, work samples, familiar names
• Make sure each page targets something people genuinely search for

When you're choosing a website designing company in Bhopal or a web development company in Bhopal, ask them how they plan to turn visitors into enquiries. If all you hear about is themes and animations, keep looking. A good partner will ask about your customers before they ask about your colour palette.

A website isn't a trophy for the office wall. It's a salesperson that works around the clock, and a salesperson who looks sharp but never closes anything isn't much use. Fix the basics, and the great looks will finally start paying for themselves.

DylanWrites:
You don't need 100k followers before you can start making money online.

One funny thing about beginners 😂:

They want the money first, the audience second, and the skill last.

But it usually works the other way around.

Learn a useful skill.

Create useful content.

Build an audience.

Then learn how to monetize that attention properly.

YouTube is one avenue worth learning because you can build channels around useful content without necessarily becoming the face of the channel.

AI tools can also make parts of the content-creation process easier.

The important thing is not just “make money online.”

Learn a real system.
