Creating Successful Websites for Business

Currently, an online presence is an absolute necessity for a successful business. Many people hire graphic designers to develop and create fabulous websites for them.

Other people choose to create a site all on their own. With all the tremendous easy-to-use tools such as WordPress, doing it yourself is as easy as clicking on a button!

Today websites are set up as blogs, and the blog is the website.

Responsive templates are available from your hosting company, and you can set a static home page or use a magazine style that updates as you add new pages and posts.

No matter what you choose, there are specific rules you should follow. Here are the 24 I follow when creating successful websites.

1. Success will not happen overnight. Building a website takes time, dedication, and hard work.

Traffic, email subscribers, and profit will come in time. Do not expect instant gratification.

2. Protect your site against hackers. Hackers mainly target successful websites.

If you have high security, it will make a big difference. Also, it is necessary to create a backup of your site for security reasons and reassurance if something goes wrong.

3. Unique Content is critical. You must write good content to get followers and keep followers.

If all your posts are garbage, you need to change something quickly.

Mix your content up and include videos and graphics to give your site a balanced look that is more professional and appealing.

4. Do not make your site URL complicated. It means no hyphens and no dashes.
Typically, numbers are not good either, but there are always exceptions.

Buy a dot com URL if possible, as this is still what people use see most often, what they type into their search bar.

5. Have a beautiful layout and theme. You want your site to be easy to navigate, appealing, and draw people's attention to your site.

An ugly package will only scare potential clients away.

You can buy a professional WordPress theme for under $100. There are also many great free themes if you do not want to buy an elegant one.

6. Build your email list. An email list is a place you form a relationship with your readers.

Email Subscribers

Those who subscribe want to hear what you have to say. If you have a product to sell, email subscribers are your target customers.

7. Have a fast site loading speed if it takes more than a few seconds for your site to load. Search engines will penalize you, leaving your traffic before it loads.

8. Social media marketing. It is essential for attracting email subscribers, followers, and potential customers.

You must learn how to rock social media. Get the icons for your social sites on your website where people can share your Content and follow or friend you.

9. Pick one social media platform at a time. Don't try to do all of them at once.

Heed my advice; I only focus on one social media platform at a time. Facebook is the largest. Twitter, Google Plus, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest get traffic. Pick one and focus on it!

10. Do not spread yourself too thin. While creating a website or blog, you may feel like you face a never-ending to-do list. If you try to do everything at once, you will complete nothing

11. Be consistent. Develop a schedule for publishing posts and stick to it. Use the advance posting schedule if you have a WordPress blog.

12. Connect with your audience. If a follower comments on your post, respond to them. Do not ignore your fans.

13. Never compare yourself to others. Do not compare your success to someone else's.

14. Be unique. Be yourself, and you will stand out from the competition. It is better to be the best you are than a more imitation of someone else.

15. Make an editorial calendar. Be the man or woman with a plan.

Have a set posting schedule, contests, interviews, and anything else you may need written down and scheduled. An editorial calendar is essential for a successful website

16. Do not ignore your email list. Care for it, nurture it, and talk to it regularly.

Your email subscribers should be your new best friend. Set up a campaign in your autoresponder so people hear from you regularly.

17. Don't put all your eggs in one financial basket. Do not monetize only with affiliate marketing or just one form of affiliate marketing, such as pay-per-click or sale.

The online world is continually changing, and so is everything in it. If you only have one source of income, add another on the change before it's too late.

18. It takes money to make money. You must advertise and invest in your business for it to grow.

19. Above all else, never panic. You will have good days and bad.

When traffic plummets, or sales decrease, keep pushing forward. If you quit, you will regret it.

20. Have a product to sell. That is the best and most profitable source of income you will have.

21. Advertise your website. To drive traffic to your website, people must know about it first. A percentage of your time should be spent on marketing once the site is set up.

22. Make sure you have analytics and the essential plugins. You can Google to find out what these are.

23. Remember to make your website about the readers and not you. Otherwise, you may as well keep a diary and read it yourself.

24. Finally, never give up. If you believe in yourself and keep going, you will have a successful website.
