Your Questions About Business Online Services

Jere answers:

There are many services out there. I would recommend that you do your own search. Many web hosts will assist you in building your own site and a few great ones will even do the work for you. It is critical to find a web designer or web host that will solve your traffic needs as well. Without targeted traffic, your website will do no justice.
While comparing options, first compare feature-by-feature then dollar-for-dollar. This will ensure that you get the best fit for your needs and the most for your money. I went through this process and found great services. I would be happy to share my experience and show you the web host I use, if you choose to contact me through my profile. In my profile page here, I also have an example of my recent website project.

BEST WISHES!

Having an online business is one thing, having one that stands a good chance of earning
one more money than being a clock punching grunt is rare. Forrester Research, and
business professors across the US [I am one] have deduced via EXTENSIVE research, that
pure on line businesses that sell goods and single company services stand a very poor
chance of earning a profit.

Key words are of no value if there is no UNMET demand for the services.

All traffic is organic. It is not something handed off to others.

If you have read several books on small biz management, and on entrepreneurship
and have written a biz plan……..I will guide you at no cost.

I hate to see “just another” on line biz start that has nothing to provide that
is innovative.

What kind of online business? Is it Ecommerce? If so what are you selling? Give Superior Customer Service and the word will spread. Become a trusted voice in the community of buyers. If you’re selling gardening products, start a blog with gardening advice. If you’re selling calendars…create a list of important dates. You get the idea. Create a reason for potential buyers to visit your website.

A couple ways I just thought of now… Most involve local, so they will NOT be online. You can help some of the stuff via online research, the primary contact would be offline.

1) Mail some cover letters and resume to child care centers. They usually are too busy to train, but they may be able to refer some candidates to you, that they want to hire, but have no certification (yet).

2) Same, but offer yourself as a “consultant” to look over their operation, offer suggestions, that will benefit their existing business (i.e. Present as win-win situation)

3) Do the same, but to local job boards, job centers, school career centers, and so on, as a trainer, certifier

4) Teach classes in local community college or such. If your training cert is still current, they’d love to have someone like you teach classes. How much they’ll pay I have no idea. At least you’ll get your name out there.

5) Write articles (squidoo, hubpages, etc.) online, on how to search for child care centers in your area, what to look for, what to run away from, etc. Any specific tidbits about childcare you care to share. Obviously you’re not going to reveal ALL your secrets. It’s basically teaser bits for them to contact you for your full services.

It won’t happen overnight, but then a Rome is not built overnight. It’s a marketing campaign, and it will take months or years for it to bear full fruit.
