If Content is King, How Does the Business Owner Keep Up?
Sometimes the toughest part of marketing on the web for busy business owners is keeping up with creating new, relevant content to build a substantial presence in a niche market. It takes time to write, post and distribute the articles necessary to become known as a market leader.
Unlike entrepreneurs focused on Internet marketing as their primary business, most traditional business owners don’t have time or the web marketing strategies in place to blog or publish on a regular basis. That’s why we offer the service of regular article creation for our business owner clients. We write the content with niche marketing keywords, post the items and distribute them through social media networks. This is a great time saver greatly appreciated by our clients.
While having an article or two written and posted for you each month, certainly helps your search engine rankings and visibility on the web, it doesn’t keep you in the ongoing dialog going on in your market. To become a market leader online, you need to be commenting and posting at least weekly, if not daily.
How does a business owner who is not in the thick of Internet marketing hope to do that? By setting up a system that can create content as easily as reading and responding to email. We’ve created such a system and it’s working ! Look for more details in future posts.
The Keywords You Use Make a Huge Difference
If you have someone creating a website for you, make sure that you provide them with the best keyword phrases for your niche. Unless, of course they will do the research for you, you will need to research those keywords yourself.
The copy or text on your site must contain the words your market uses in the search.
Why? The biggest reason is that the search engines use the words on your site to know if your site is a good match for what the searcher is looking for. The second reason is that your visitor will know that they have found the right place when they find the words they used to search.

I created a poll on LinkedIn to survey business owners. http://polls.linkedin.com/p/68379/gfolt
