10 Reasons you MUST create a Website now!

The benefits of a website to a business cannot be over emphasized. According to bill gates “If your business is not on the internet, then your business will be out of business” and that is so very true. The website exposes your business to everyone in the world that is connected to the internet thereby creating room for you to maximize profit in whatever business you are into. A recent study showed that 75 million people use the internet and 45 million used the internet three months before the USA and Canada survey. Where else can you get such number of people to expose your business to? That makes the internet the right place for any business that wants to succeed

Below are major benefits of a website to a business

Low Cost International Exposure

There is no other way you can get the number of people the web exposes your business to at a time. If you do a TV or a Radio advert, it is only watched or heard by those in that state except for those who have a satellite TV. And the cost of placing an advert on the radio or TV is much, much greater than what it cost to place an ad on the internet and again your ad is exposed to millions of people worldwide

Free Search Engine Advert

When your business is on the internet, you don’t have to place an advert to get people to visit your website if you are working on a low budget. Just ensure that your website is well optimized with the appropriate keywords (SEO), that way you stand a chance of ranking high in search engines and since people use search engines to search for information on products they want, your website could be among the first ones they see on the search page, that advertises your business and you will have huge traffic (visitors) rushing to your website without spending a dime and that brings in good profit

Business Building

A friend actually made this point clear to me. No matter what you do online to make money, if you do not have a website of your own, you are not in business. The only way to build a lasting business online is to create a website. Other ways of making money online without a website always keep you working hard to earn some cash but if you build a website and establish yourself in your niche, as time goes on you wouldn’t have to do much to earn good amount of money online.

Business is open 24 7 and 365days

When your business is on the web, there is no closing hours which means your customers has access to do business with you at any time and you can reach them with news about your business anytime of the day or week or year.

Improved Customer Service

On the web your door is opened to customers for inquiries and feedback 24hours of the everyday, and you can immediately correct customers’ misconceptions and give them assurance about your products

Contact Point

The website serves as a contact point between you and your customers. They can easily leave feedbacks and you can easily get products announcement and other news to them at once instead of waiting till two weeks or the end of the month to send them newsletters

Build a Brand

A website helps you in branding your business. As you provide helpful information to people in your niche, in time they come to trust you and see you as reliable which is what you need to create wealth on the net. You become like a doctor who do consultations then prescribe to his patients. No patient will turn down a doctor’s prescription or advice because he/ she trusts his judgment and that is a result of long time two way communication

Create an edge over your Competitors

I don’t know about you, but when I see an advert in a newspaper, the first thing I do is look for their website if there is no website; I don’t even bother going further with it. A website gives your business some level of trust. You could give people your card and they go to your website to know more about what you do, when you don’t have one, you lose them to your competitors vis a vis

Maximize Profit from Affiliate Marketing

With a website of your own, affiliate marketing becomes much easier and more profitable. You can provide helpful articles and tips in your website on a product you are promoting and then add a squeeze page on your site for people to opt in before sending them to the merchant’s site. Or have a landing page where visitors opt in before redirecting them to merchant’s site, building a list in the process.The longer your list, the more money you can earn because you get to send other relevant offers to your list in the future.

Create a Free Website

The best part now is that you can build a website for free with no knowledge of HTML! There are various free website building software that you can download, some are even optimized for the search engines. I can attest to FreeWebsiteBuilder by Ewen chia. It’s so simple to use and there are five videos to take you through the steps.
So go create a website on your own and start building a business for yourself on the web.

For the people who are so used to the 8-5pm jobs and see it as the only option to earn a living, losing their jobs or not getting a job could be disheartening. Such ones might see unemployment as the worst thing that can happen to them. And there is also always the fear of the unknown, people afraid to break away because they are not sure of what awaits them outside. After all, a bird in hand they say is worth ten in the bush right?

You know I have never been an advocate for the 8-5pm job, but I had a job at a time because I needed to survive on it why I work part time on my online business. The plan was to resign once my part time business comes through for me financially. But before that could happen my employment was terminated and even while I had hope, because I had a business I was trying to build part time, though wasn’t yet making money from it, it felt like the end of the road. Until I took out time to think and focus, just then it occurred to me that it could be a blessing in disguised. I mean I had my freedom! Meaning I could control my time, I could make my online business full time and dedicate myself to it to make it a source of living.

The benefit of employment that might not be so glaring to someone who just lost a job is time freedom and that he now has a lot of work at home opportunities opened to him to try out. When this time freedom is really made good use of, no matter what business you go into, there is a strong chance of succeeding.

You have the chance now to write your own paycheck, meaning you could put any figure there that looks good to you, with some hard work.

Food for thought:

Though it is only fair to get a good collar job after spending years in school obtaining a certificate, we have to be realistic about this. The companies in place in most cases already have the number of employees they need except when some get relieved of their duties or they resign that a position comes up. Employment opportunities also come up when old companies open new branches or new companies are set up. But no matter the number of companies set up, it can not meet up with the number of grandaunts every year. If we keep that in mind, we would want to plan an alternative to the white collar job and encourage our friends and relative in still in school to have in mind that there is a possibility that they will not get a job even if they come out with the best results. The acceptance of this will create a room for them to consider alternative ways to achieving their dream, which will lead to wealth creativity.

So stop feeling sorry for yourself and think of something you can do to earn a living, being unemployed could be the best thing to happen to you if you put your time to good use.
You now have one of the most useful tools required to create wealth, Time freedom and dedication. So control your time, check out different entrepreneurial ventures you can join.

If you are thinking that entrepreneurial businesses involve much money, then you are still far behind. Entrepreneurship is more of determination, hard work and little patience rather than just money.

People get skeptical when they think of entrepreneurship. And I think that is because most of us are just plain lazy, they rather settle for a peanut salary than make out something better for themselves through entrepreneurship. And others just want a get rich quick scheme, they want to earn without working for it. Believe me, if half of the effort people put into their white collar jobs is put into a business venture, they could achieve in a year or two what it will take them four to five years to achieve working for someone. And this is no exaggeration. Some time ago I read in the papers of a second year level college student making N200, 000 monthly (about $1,500) from the internet. How many people earn that in their place of work in a month? And his goal then according to the newspaper was to earn N500, 000 (about $4,000) monthly.

So start seeing the good in your situation and get to work. If you don’t, your kids will ask you someday, “Dad/mum, where were you when others where making money?” I was unemployed would not be accepted by the child as a good reason because he would have seen thousands who made it on their own. So if you say that, the child’s response to you will be, “Dad, you were just lazy!”

The internet is the best place to do business because your business is exposed to everyone who has an internet connection worldwide and it is very cheap.

Here are some wealth creative business ventures to consider and all this you can do from your laptop at home and most are free to start.

Blogging – In blogging you make money from advertising revenue programs like adsense and others

Affiliate Marketing – promoting other peoples product for a percentage commission

Info Marketing – creating your own product to market. This is one of the coolest ways to make money on the internet because you spend no dime creating your product and you keep all the profit

Network marketing – This business is the best business I can recommend to anybody simply because you can create a strong residual income on it. And unlike other businesses mentioned above, you don’t have to keep working hard to live a good life style. You do the work once and relax. And the best part is your residual income can be passed onto someone else of your choice should something happen to you.

I have provided information on my blog on some of these business ventures. To get more information read all related articles on my blog.
