2. Practical Internet Marketing For Small
Business: 25 Ideas That Work Part 1
I started to put my thoughts down on this and realised how much I could write! so rather than lose the
impact I decided to split this up over five days. Here is the first 5 ideas that will work for anyone that
decides to use them!
Internet marketing for small business is entering a huge growth phase. No surprise really with 90 billion
searches a month now on Google, and over 80% of consumers or possible clients searching for a provider
online.
The thing is though, many small business owners are in awe of the internet. Not really knowing how to
leverage its possibilities and capabilities. No wonder really. Everyday we hear stories of mis
communication and small business owners being bamboozled with jargon. So as a starter here are 5 of 25
things to consider and think about as you plan you online domination of your local market!
1. Have an Online Presence
This might sound logical! Yet it is not just about a flash website. Consider using a blog. They are easy to
manage, generally less expensive and can be managed by you. There are also lots of other things you can
use and tap into that help enormously for little in the way of costs. By the way this site is a blog!
2. Have a Strategy
Everything starts with a plan. Don’t just throw up your site without any thought. Think about what you
want to achieve. All successful businesses have a strategy. Being successful online is no different. You
need to know what your goals are, and what you want to achieve.

3. 3. Have a Positive Mindset.
I am not going wowo on you here. Just remember that everything is possible with some planning, focus
and most of all belief. There are more people making significant income on the internet than ever
before. The sky could just be the limit. Imagine that you increase your traffic and conversions, which
with consistent steps is really possible. This could start your own lift off to new heights.
This includes local businesses that are getting switched onto exactly what is possible. We talked about
this in a previous blog post. Have a vision think about it, talk about, believe it and you will be amazed at
what can and does happen.
4. Learn New Skills.
Internet marketing is easier than many people realise. Like anything there is a learning curve, yet it is
easier to climb than most people appreciate.
We have been online for nearly four years now and this is our core business. When we started we
knew………………. …………Nothing…………………as the famous TV programme once said. So we decided to
learn. At the time cash flow was interesting! to say the least.

4. Study
We could not afford the high prices we were quoted for a website let alone how to promote it, so we
decided to learn ourselves. And we did. As the saying goes trust me if I can learn anyone can!
5. Get a Mentor
This might be a new concept to people and yet having a mentor is invaluable to your business growth.
The Merriam-Webster Webster Dictionary defines a mentor as “a trusted counsellor or guide.”
I would add something else to that, from my own experience. Choose someone who has been before you.
Somebody that can help and guide you. We were very lucky to drop on our feet with our own mentor.
She is a marketing and branding expert who works on million dollar brands.
For us this gives us the ability to tap into an amazing knowledge base that then means that we can add
more value to our clients.
