I’ve been very busy the past few months helping local businesses learn the benefits of using WordPress blogs. I have been intensively studying the most effective tools and strategies to help my clients create and-generating WordPress blogs that have FAST success. These local businesses are learning how to create a marketing hub using the WordPress blog as the centerpiece or hub, and then tying in all their social media profiles (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.).
Many traditional store front businesses or home-based business owners are looking for ways to expand their marketing at low cost without taking up alot of their time. After all, they have a business to run. Enter the WordPress blog. I focus on showing them the free and inexpensive methods of attracting more customers, and that’s exactly what the WordPress blog can do for you. The WordPress platform is a great solution because the software is free, the plugins are free and the themes are free. Your only cost will be a domain name and hosting. Yes, you should host it yourself. If you’re a serious business, don’t get the free blog website. I recommend Hostgator.
My latest client is a good case in point. After I coached her on selecting an effective domain name for her local print business, she came up with “Quality Sarasota Printer.” All these words are important keywords, and it looked liked there were enough people searching for this keyword phrase without being too competitive. I tell my clients that if they come up with a keyword-rich domain that really targets their market, they may hit the first page of Google fast–sometimes in a matter of a week or two.
Well, as it turned out, the owner of this domain has great success and fast! Within one day, her WordPress blog was #1 in Google–even before she had time to add any content! Since then, she has added content and after a couple weeks, she now is dominating the first page for this keyword phrase (see the image below). Now, all she has to do is continue to add targeted content and other keywords and get more free traffic.
