Step 1: Create content each week

One minute videos have the most significant impact, and we strongly suggest starting with video. Most people have a hangup about getting on camera, or they expect perfection from the start. We remind clients every day that it's about the message and learning. The routine is what makes for good content, not the first video.

Step 2: Post an ad

Once you become comfortable with creating content, it is time to start distributing, and Facebook ads are the best place to start. If you have a target list, you can advertise to these people directly using custom audiences. If not, you can set up targeting in your ad set. Use the video you created in step 1 for ad content and creative.

Step 3: Post a blog on your website

Once you've mastered ads, it is time to start posting those videos to a blog. Blogging helps you in organic search and your SEO. The blog will also be the target of your next distribution step.

Step 4: Send marketing emails

As you build your audience, you want to stay in front of your people. Sending your prospects updates about your latest content is the best way to stay top of mind. Your blog will also be laced with techniques for people to connect with you to start the sales process.

Step 5: Manage social media

Social media posts are the easiest thing to master. They also don't take too much time; however, without content, email followups, and blogs, it is hard to convert social posts. Now that you have all that in place, you can start building your social presence.

Step 6: Manage local directories

Now that you have email, social, digital ads, content, and blogging in place, its time to build your website traffic. Start creating business listings on all the local directories. You can do this manually or use a premium program like YEXT.

Step 7: Solicit reviews and manage your online reputation

The last thing to master is asking for reviews and managing your online reputation. Set up your Google My Business review link and filter people to target 5-stars.

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, establishing an online presence is paramount for every business. A well-structured and designed website can greatly enhance your brand's visibility and credibility. However, the process of creating a website can be daunting, especially when confronted with decisions like the cost of hiring a designer, how to find a suitable one, or opting for a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach using website builders like Wix or Squarespace. Making an informed choice can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Figuring Out Your Budget and Time: The Classic Decision Building a website involves an investment of both time and money. Hiring a designer can cost between $100 to $200 per website page, whereas setting up a website yourself might consume around 4 hours per page. It's a classic time or money conundrum that forces you to reassess your priorities. Do you have the design skills to build a website yourself? If not, using DIY applications may extend the time it takes for you to establish your online presence. However, if your budget is tight, investing your time into learning and implementing the process might be a viable option. DIY Website Builders: A Blessing or a Curse? Website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress have made website creation accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise. But are they always the best choice? Wix Pros: Wix offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and a variety of templates, which make it easy for beginners to create a website. It also provides advanced features for more seasoned users. Cons: The flexibility of Wix can also be its downfall, as the wide range of options can be overwhelming. Its SEO capabilities have been criticized, and the free plan comes with ads. Squarespace Pros: Squarespace is known for its sleek, professional design templates. It offers comprehensive features and excellent customer support. Cons: Squarespace's pricing is slightly higher compared to other builders, and the platform can be less intuitive for first-time users. WordPress Pros: WordPress offers incredible flexibility and control, with thousands of themes and plugins. It's a great choice for blogs due to its strong content management system. Cons: WordPress has a steeper learning curve compared to other builders, and you may need to handle updates and security measures manually.
