The Great Internet
Challenge: by Patsi Krakoff, Psy.D. and Denise Wakeman Your #1 Web Challenge: Getting More Visitors and Boosting Your Conversion Rate! OK. Your business has a website. Now what? That “If you build it, they will come” line from the movie Field of Dreams doesn’t necessarily hold for Internet entrepreneurs! Like millions of other small business owners and professionals, you’re discovering that having a website doesn’t easily translate to greater profits. How do you attract more visitors to your site and turn these “window shoppers” into paying customers? You may not have a big budget (or any budget) for building an optimized website. You may have little time to handle online marketing, and not know how to do the technical tasks required. Like many professionals, you may wear both the marketing and technology hats in your company.

Small businesses and independent professionals find part of their challenge lies in competing with bigger businesses that have more resources to market and make an impact. Minimal marketing budgets and few people on staff means you have to manage your Internet marketing strategies yourself. Sure, it seems daunting at first. But here’s the good news: A small business does not have to surrender to big business. Small businesses are very capable of competing with the big guys.
