Managing Resources for Businesses
When starting your own business you ought to know how to exhaust your resources. As for me, I started my business small and on physical terms. I sell antique pieces whether furniture, paintings or just anything old most sought after. My local shop started only at home and soon after I rented a little shop in town. Most of my clients are from other states or foreign countries. Some of them find it stressful to travel and go to my shop. I thought that it was the chase and the effort of finding the pieces that made them more precious aside from the fact that they are antique however basing on the feedbacks, it seemed otherwise. My oldest daughter told me that she can maintain the business online and she introduced me internet marketing. It was best to find online bidding, less time and effort is needed but with higher profits. Having known this we decided to put it notches higher. Then we went online selling on our own website. With a little help from my daughter’s friends, we developed a long running website. All my relatives endorsed our website through their online networking sites. We also promoted it in my shop in town and all fliers were spread. However there is not much we got from online marketing since the information circulated only among those people we know. The trend was increasing, and then fluctuating to slow steady movement.
Directory Submission Services Expands the Business
There was no more improvement with our supposed innovation. The orders were not as frequent compared to my shop in town. I guess there was not much promotion to other interested clients. Relying only on our current contacts did not suffice for my expectations that there will be greater deals and profit. My daughter was equally dismayed by the situation. She then started searching for solutions. Once she tried typing the name of our website on Google and on Bing, poof! The result only showed on the last pages or did not even show at all. It was a desperate move to add people whom we did not know on social networking sites. That was just, I think, stupid. We seemed no different from spammers and with these we might just gain negative credibility rate. Our ultimate problem was that we had neither name nor advertisements for the world’s most used search engines. We cannot even get endorsed by other sites. The online shop was practically unknown! There should be some way that other online sellers are able to show up on search engines first. I am sure that they did not solely depend on the people they knew, there was something else. My daughter looked for ways to create what we call traffic online. The first among the list was of course, search engine optimization. One of the providers of the service we found was Submitedge.com . They offered a variety of packages from mere trials to long-term packages. We tried it instead of bot-controlled link building. Since then we have been included in the same fields of business. The nature of my business being bidding and antiques, we have been connected to individuals and companies in the same niche. This has generated more persons visiting our website and in a few months we have been shipping antique pieces not only locally but also across countries.
Advantages of SEO-Friendly Directories
From all the reading I have done I have come to realize that bot-controlled link building may be potentially dangerous for the credibility of a website. There are times that when we tried to click on certain websites, they were either redirected or were completely irrelevant to the search. Manually managed directories ensure that we are only linked to the niche we are advertising. Furthermore, we reviewed the history of the services provided for from the website; there was no submitedge on the internet. Money is earned just like trust is and therefore we get the worth of the money we used from this trusted website. Submitting to directories may range from $50- $300. Well, for Submitedge.com we only paid as low as 8 cents for each submission or $60 in total for 750 submissions. This was already a great deal considering that it still lies on the lower range. Punctuality is also necessary in business especially for us who deal with bids. A little difference in time can mean so much. From the moment of registry to the submissions each were already done and checked for quality. In a short period of time, they already presented us a comprehensive submission report. I am glad to have been blessed with a diligent and supportive daughter who has found such a trusted SEO.
