Always keep in mind that your blog should be a less than formal setting so you can use it to give your customers a place to do a variety of things. First, they can offer their opinions on an array of topics. Blog posts have plenty of room for new comments. Always ask questions, such as “how may we make our business better?” Or “do you have any comments about our services?” inviting visitors to give a feedback within the comments beneath.

Post a variety of contest links and discount coupon codes on your blog. To enter the contests or take advantage of the codes, the readers will have to follow the link back to your website.

You can keep adding features as your readership grows, and if you need help moving up to the next level, consider taking on an expert virtual assistant. Think about having a section focusing on “owner’s comments” for example. You can post blurbs from reader comments and your take on what they have to say. Seek out and invite notable guest writers to contribute and provide valuable additional material for your readers.

Really Making Your Video Yours!

Lots of material in video has been done before, therefore, finding a unique hook to gain traffic as well as using keywords in the title will likely serve you well. Your primary job is to engage the reader and you want to do it from the ‘get go’.

Have fun with your video presentations. Your enthusiasm will come across to your audience.

Advertise

Somewhere in your video, even if it’s only for a brief moment, mention your website. Not only mention it, but also include the link in black and white so others can enter it and jump right onto your website and check out what you’ve to offer.

Use social networking to spread the word about your videos. Invite friends and associates to take a look and then pass the link on to their friends. Also encourage comments. Pay particular attention to constructive criticism that can only help to improve your efforts.

Forums

Business forums can help you find answers to professional questions about running your business, business plans, virtual assistant services, joint ventures and the like. It is a give and take gathering place where everyone can benefit – the keyword being “everyone.” Be very careful though as most forums will reject visitors who are only there to promote themselves or their website and not to actively participate.

Use these forums as they were intended to be used. Comment as much as you can where it is relevant. Offer advice if appropriate and ask questions. Offer links where appropriate and just become friendly to others.

If you aren’t currently using any social networking platform, now is a great time to start. It can serve dual purposes in your life; both to your benefit. Whenever you meet a business contact, ask them if they want to be your follower or friend. You never know. You could be connecting with a future joint venture partner or find that diamond in the rough service provider to help you take your website development business to the next level!
