Why Use Online Directories


Having a social media and directory presence for a small business is paramount. Many small businesses have elected to not establish a solid internet presence due to the lack of understanding of how to do it properly, lack of time, or not understanding the value it can bring.  It is fair to say that most people know or use Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Linkedin. But unfortunately that is no longer enough to distinguish yourself from the competition.

The following three elements of marketing can help increase your business by leaps and bounds:
  
  • properly optimize local directories
  • obtain a presence on all relevant social media sites to your business
  • pursue customer reviews.

One particular site every small business needs to be on is Google Plus. Google Plus is a must because the integration with Google+ Local, provides reviews, and may be visited more times even before a company’s own website. These features lend small professional services to improve ranking and listings on Google searches. Google local is also starting a grading system. If you are unfamiliar Google went to a “out of 30” grading system instead of the more familiar “out of 5 stars”. 

Now it is important to remember the best way to optimize your internet presence is to get your name out there as many ways as you possible can. An organic presence is the best presence.

The The Importance of Online Directories for Small Business


Reaching as many people as you can is marketing in a nutshell. More to it, reaching prospective clients/customers with the lowest cost is even better.  This is why joining online directories  is so important. Some directories can charge upwards of 250.00 a month and up. You have to ask yourself, what does my company really get for this, a listing for a phone number and an address? What you need to do when investing any marketing capitol is making sure you get bang for your buck.

When looking to join directories, mailing, or anything for that matter, know what you are getting for your investment. Find out what other benefits you are going to get from the directory. Does it include interactive user updates, how about linking the site to your company’s social media? How about a knowledgeable staff that is available to help you with your listing

whocanihire.com gives you these benefits and more importantly, a minimum investment. For 49.00 a year, less than an average service call, your company can be part of a cutting edge site. So ask yourself, what does your company have to lose?

Word of Mouse Marketing-Using Twitter

As we continue to use our mouse or smart phone as the primary communication tool for business, it is essential you understand the value of twitter.

Twitter is THE site for micro-blogging.  Twitter allows for real time communication and messaging in 140 character bursts or tweets.  Twitter users can post their tweets, which can include links to video, Facebook & Google+ pages, photos, blogs, and other relevant informative pieces.

Although it may seem confusing and time consuming, engaging with your follower's will be incredibly lucrative for your business or professional service.  My own story:
On a Saturday prior to taking the plunge into social media marketing and not knowing what I was doing.  I set up a twitter account (@hermosahillscr) for a development we are involved with in Costa Rica.  Not realizing what I was doing, I failed to place a link to our website to access additional information, less than 48 hours, I received a call at my office in Florida from a potential buyer in Arizona interested in a million dollar home in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica. Obviously, I immediately saw the power in this social media tool.
This interaction would have never have happened if I not begun learning the value of social marketing.

There are a few things to keep in mind as you begin tweeting, those being:

  • Being interesting, smart and funny will bring followers and engagement and business 
  • Become a go-to source for people looking for your services or product, whether selling to them or being a helping in the decision making
  • Stay away from automated apps that are available that tweet for you, beware of the robots!
  • Check your messages regularly and establish conversation
  • Don't tweet on the hour, every hour or spam
  •  Get your twitter name out there to everyone:  Facebook, website, business cards, and LinkedIn
It's a new world of communication available to you; don't make the mistake of not taking advantage of this opportunity to grow.  It's easy, quick, fun and profitable.  Looking forward to your future tweets!

Making Your Idea - Make you Money!

It seems these days everywhere you turn wild and sometimes almost ridiculous ideas take over the world’s attention. Remember silly bands? Have you ever sat around with your friends, drinking beers considering crazy ideas to make big bucks?

I got my idea for this blog from Hannah Hart of "mydrunkkitchen" fame who thought it would be funny to make a cooking video on Youtube. Soon after posting she had a group of fans and followers asking for more. When people ask Hannah for tips on how to get famous through Youtube, Facebook, or other social media sites, she gives the following six steps that she has learned along the way. 

  • Be a good friend so that people repost your video on other social media sites.
  • Be patient (being in marketing for whocanihire.com, this is one virtue I have really learned). Building your site takes time and dedication. Make sure your site or whatever "your million dollar idea" may be, has potential and hold a purpose. Putting your idea out on these social media sites, you can be sure they will be seen.
  • Get a second opinion and be open to multiple ideas.
  • Don’t be afraid to work hard.
  • Never post anything you’re not proud of.
  • When posting comedy be sure it makes you laugh out loud

So with all that said, next time you’re sitting around with your buddies drinking a beer laughing about crazy ideas, and a good one comes along, you should run with it! Get it setup on Youtube, whocanihire, Facebook, or any other good social media sites you have in mind. See where your idea with dedication takes you.
