Overwhelmed. Overworked. Over it. Many small businesses share these common complaints and often feel stressed at the thought of trying to do it all. From creating content to managing multiple social media channels, a digital marketing strategy isn’t as complicated as it may seem. In the quest to save time, it’s all about how you manage your tasks…one tweak at a time.
If you own a small business, you probably feel like you have too much to do and not enough time to do it. This is a problem for people who wear too many hats and manage too many roles. If you feel overwhelmed by the long list of things that have to be done, then read on to learn the secret that will change the way you mange business and life for good.
Ready to take action and save your sanity? Let’s get started.
Just Get Started
Dip your toe in the water to get started. The cannon ball will come soon enough
Digital marketing techniques, including search engine optimization (SEO), email marketing, blogging, photo and video sharing and social media networking, all enable the smaller businesses to compete with the bigger brands online. It’s like our secret weapon, but instead of feeling intimidated with the thought of doing it all, just start by dipping your toes in the water. Don’t worry, you’ll make your splash soon… one thing at a time.
But, we get it. There just isn’t enough time in the day for everything on your massive “to-do” list- and there never will be. Remember, successful people don’t try to do everything by themselves. They learn to prioritize the important tasks they can do on their own; and then, instead of pushing the rest to the backburner, they trust in others to get the job done. In less time and with less stress.
Deliver to your Fans
Don’t push your list to the backburner. Successful change requires taking the time to take the steps to make it happen.
Businesses can use Facebook to create brand awareness, gain reviews from happy customers (and defuse feedback from those who are not so happy), spy on the competition (uh, we mean…conduct research), provide early access to new campaigns and special offers and deliver useful information or advice.
Your fans are looking for quality answers from resources they can trust. Are you there to deliver what they need, when they need it? A successful digital marketing strategy requires balance, knowing your target audience and using content to your advantage.
And, don’t be afraid of a boost.
The great thing about digital marketing is that it levels the playing field for the smaller players. Your value increases quickly when your boosted post becomes localized, a fact that not enough business owners understand. When combined with other methods of marketing, such as creating content, email marketing or even direct mail, boosting social media posts can deliver measurable ROI.
It’s time to start responding to the browsing habits of your customers with the content they’re looking for.
