Four easy steps to take your brand online
Here are some of the nuts and bolts you need to secure in order to successfully take your brand online.
Identify your audience and competition - For best results online, you'll need to have a very good idea who your ideal customers are, and in addition to that, who is also after their attention, or in other words, your competition. Knowing this information going in is very important.
Secure your Web properties - Purchasing a domain name for your brand that accurately reflects your business is essential. Have a website built. Don't choose a free site you see advertised, as this will severely limit your alternatives and you won't really own anything. Bite the bullet, secure web hosting, and get a site built that you can be happy with for a while.
Establish Social Media accounts - Social media is very important these days, because it can have a positive effect on traffic, authority, search ranks and a lot more. Deciding which social sites to make use of is up to you, but most likely you'll be using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. Create a presence on these sites and be sure to have consistency in your contact information across these as well as your website. Having this last element wrong could really cause search engine problems so pay attention to it!
Create content and engage - Begin posting and publishing across your new Web properties. This can seem tedious and unfruitful at first, but it's an important step. Cross promote from one to the other. For instance, announce a new blog post on Facebook or Twitter, etc. Once you start to have people comment and engage with you, you are ready to take your brand to the next level, that of establishing authority in your space, a topic for another article!
