How you can Grow your Business?

Being a supplier of construction material in a relatively small town, I never had an insight of taking it to global level. However, I learned to manage my business and adopt the various trending marketing and business tactics simultaneously. This proved to be a great leap in my journey of making my business fruitful and smooth. I took the famous approach of taking my business online with a well designed website. I also learned some digital marketing with the help of tutorials and some people I know. It surprised me a lot during my transition period and I was amazed to see the growth.

 There are a number of businesses which are dying out due to a transformation in internet technology and marketing strategies. I did a market research and consulted a number of people who are involved in managing websites and earning from them. I got the idea of how to manage my website and make it a hit. It taught me that your website should be an integrated part of your business for every kind of transaction.

 So I created website for my business where I can display my products and also get orders. It took the website, a while to pace up and get traffic, but with a proper and active involvement of every element, it shot up. My website started gaining traffic gradually and I started getting orders from website. This was a great experience for me where I learned about the most important aspects of managing a website. Here are a few points to take care when you jump into action:

 Name & Interface – Your website should have a proper name which should be relevant to your business or the name of your organization. This helps in creating a sense of genuinity of your website. It also leads to customer acquisition and helps in building up trust. A proper name can help you create a great impression on your potential clients and customers. There are many names that don’t agree with this statement and are still hit, but this is how things go, you can’t take a chance.

Similar to this, your website interface should be attractive and appropriate for your customers. Your website design is another factor that defines your session time and lead.

 Organic traffic – Organic traffic is the visit that your website gets from unpaid sources. These sources are search engines such as Google, Bing etc. Your website performs well when it has some organic traffic from the above mentioned sources. It is not just the organic sources that you should rely on, there are various other sources where you can get traffic such as facebook ads. Posting ads on social media can cost you considerably, but it is worth the pain. You can get a lot of potential customers from such ads and campaigns.

 Great Content – Any content that you put on your website is vital for generating exceptional traffic and building reliability of your business. Some of the most thriving business strategies are dependent upon excellent content. Your content is the king of your marketing strategy most of the times. A nice and clean content can help you grow in a faster pace and also is a good business to keep things clear and precise. I learned some content strategies and started with some very nice material.

 SEO -  Search engine optimization is among some of the most practices strategy. Every business performs SEO on the content to make it more search engine friendly. A good and SEO friendly content can make a big difference. You can take help of tools like semrush, hubspot or mozbar to  perform SEO operation. Semrush is among most famous and tells us google organic traffic growth and helping in keyword search. You can get an insight of your business growth, your website performance and also get an idea on how to improve it.

 Economy – One of the most interesting aspects of creating a website is not just to display your business, but also to earn money in various ways. One such way is making use of Google adsense to earn from your website. A user gets the convinience of managing more than one monetization methods for teh webiste. It gives you the comfort of using multiple monetization methods, such as, using google adsense and amazon at the same time.

 Monitoring – This comes at a later part when your website is fully functional and you are earning out of it. There are a number of modes yuou can use your website to earn and it is not difficult once you have a length of customers. Monitoring your website becomes crucial when you are earning from it. Might it be ‘pay per click’ or online transaction, or just order placement from your website. You can’t do it if your site is down, which, I found out, is very frequent. I used Netthrob to keep a track of my website downtime and its performance across the globe. It helps me to manage my website smoothly and get alerted when the site is down. By a proper monitoring of website, i was able to minimize the website downtime which directly reflected on my business performance.

 It took me a while to manage all the aspects of my website and merge my business into the digital world. But the efforts and time spent in doing this was worth when it gets fully functional. There still is so much to learn and implement into the business, but I am happy with the progress of my website and business.

How I Faced my Website Downtime Crisis

Owning a website is a blessing for people like me who love to blog. It gives us chance to create content of your own interest area to display to the world. It is a blessing because you have a great chance to express yourself through the content of website. You get an opportunity to showcase a wide variety of your work through your website. With a website, you are able to communicate with your consumers in a much better way.

My website is close to my heart because i get to put a number of content that I want to display to the world. A major section of my website content acquaints the visitors with my work. This is one of the most amazing things I cherish being a blogger. I try to cover every aspect of my subject line and express it in a simple manner to my readers. But the happy times are not always there for you and so did it come to me like a shock.

I was astound when one of my readers called me specifically to inform that my website is not working. I went to my computer immediately and tried opening it, but it wasn’t there. It bothered me more as there are some very nice blogs i have written, of which, i didn’t have backup. This enhanced my concerns about my website, its content and my revenue from it.

It gave me a sense of panic and sadness at the same time. I tried to learn about website and ISP to better understand the issue. But the concern of my dysfunctional website started bothering me. Then I decided to call my friend Paul who is an expert in hacking and networking. He told me not to worry and assured that he will fix it.

Once he came to my rescue, it was all easy peasy and happy. He fixed it and then called my internet service provider to start the website. He taught me some informative and useful troubleshoots to keep in mind. But the idea of a non-functional website was bothering me a lot. I told my friend the same and he told me my website might be down more times than I think. The worst part was, I had no means of fixing it with immediate effect.

Paul, then introduced me the solution to this issue. He told me about Netthrob, and recommended me to make use of it. Signing up with www.netthrob.com was an insurance for my website. Some of the most important features included alerts through SMS, email or phone, website analysis right at your dashboard, and so on. It is like a watchdog for my website which informs me everytime the site goes down. I don’t have to keep checking it and do not have to worry about the loss i used to face previously.

It was an amazing experience when I knew someone is watching over my website. I get all my alerts from netthrob on my phone and email. Now, when my website goes down, i fix it immediately. So when my readers call me, i know it’s not due to my website is down, but because they liked one of my recent blogs.

Website crashed ?!                      Things to do right now!

Let’s imagine, you are in this situation.

    You noticed that one of your friends has met with an accident, What will you do? Every decision we take in such situation matters a lot in saving friend’s  life and minimizing the life risks/threats. The above theory applies in the situation of a website also, when you notice that your website has crashed. What do you have to do? Here’s the answer!

Step 1: Confirm the website crash     Clear the cache of your browser, refresh and check (shift + refresh), also verify the same across different platforms like mobile and tablet. Confirm the same with your communications as well.

Step 2: Inform the customers/clients     Make sure that you communicate the same information to your clients/customers. Assure them that their data is safe if it is. Convey them that service might get delayed if required. Keeping the customers informed about the crash and apologizing for the same, gives a good impression about you and your business.

Step 3: Try to understand the reason.     After the 1 st  step, you’ll get to know the reason for the crash. It might be either due to internet server problem or host problem or coding errors.  Then proceed according to the reason and take appropriate actions.

Following are the few common reasons for website crash ;

Web host problem – Server overload

                                         – Server maintenance

                                        – DDoS [Distributed denial of service]

Dev. Side/Coding error  – configuration errors

                                                 – running of  non­ optimized scripts              

Fail to renew hosting service due to slip of memory

Step 3: Action Even though it needs technical knowledge for one to troubleshoot the issues but common sense is enough to decide what has to be done in the next step.

The decision differs based on the situation. Case a: Web host problem / Server problem Intimate the host company about the type of the problem ( 5XX errors /4XX ) and get to know the actual reason then confirm the time line required for fixing the bug from them. This case covers problems like Server overload due to increased traffic / Distributed denial of service (DDoS), Server down due to maintenance / Error in functionality, etc.

Case b: Website developer side issue(Coding error) Same applies here also, if the response is like 404 (4XX error or a similar one), contact developing team to check with, and get the time line details required to fix the bug.

Instead of taking such burden, best way to avoid such problems and stay alerted is, using Website monitoring tools like netthrob. These tools keep track of your website functionality and intimate you once website is down or any problem occurs.

And the result is you lose neither business nor revenue.
