When you look at your statistics, you’re always looking to see how many unique visitors you have to your website development. You need to be sure that these numbers are increasing each month and will need a way to attract new readers. This same method will also keep current readers coming back for more. So, what is it?
Readers will come to your website on each day. They are there for information to start. They may keep coming back because of your charm and wit or to get to know you before they try your product or service offerings. You could help this process by letting them know you are a real person and visiting their site as well.
Everyone is a REAL person but not everyone comes off like they are. Business owners who appear to be “above” their readers are likely to get a hostile response and negative comments. They appear as if they live in ivory towers, or are some kind of royal presence, out of sight and out of touch.
Remember that you are only one side of the online business development equation. Your visitors, as potential clients, represent the other side. Without traffic, you can’t hope to make a sale. Unless you build relationships with the readers, they won’t see any reason to stay loyal to you.
Who are you?
Everybody needs to know that they matter in the eyes of others. They must matter to friends, families and also the people that they engage in business with. Why do you think barber shops and hair salons are so popular? The business is based on delivering a finished product AND building a relationship.
As an online business owner, your readers want to know that their presence matters. They have come to you looking for something. Again, what is it?
It would be naïve to think that each person that visits your website or blog is there because of you. The chances are that they didn’t even know your name before they clicked on the link they found in the search engine. Will they remember your name when they leave your site if you don’t do anything about it?
What is it that you want?
Think of your interests. The reason you started your online business is because you had a passion for something. Your readers also have passions. The informative content that you supply could be the final link to someone realising the dream of entrepreneurship, home ownership or even buying a new car. You’re more likely to find out about your readers and what they want, if you take an interest in their needs and desires. If you need some support to get it all done fast, consider hiring an expert virtual assistant, or even a virtual assistant team to get everything going! A virtual assistant can change everything!
Now, your website is about the business that you are building, but knowing something about the people who are getting you there can help your business to evolve. As an example, the information you provide may be about how to organise your life and your business, but most of the people who visit your site are looking for information on personal coaching. If you started a line of products or services around the concept of personal coaching, you could meet their needs in a much more targeted way, just because you took the time to find out about them.
How do I help you?
These are some of the ways that you can find out about your readers interests:
• Surveys
• By offering contests through guest blogs
• Create a “reader spotlight” or a “customer spotlight” on your website
• When people buy from you, send feedback e-mails
Readers have interests too and they are important for you to know. When you have all this information and know how you can help your readers, use these tools to find out about their needs. All you need to do then is to give this to them! You will certainly see more readers, new customers and increased sales, just because you made the effort to really find out about them, what they wanted and then provided it to them.
