<\/a>Quite simply, an income producing website is a website that produces more money than what it takes to keep it running each month.\u00a0 Every business person knows that it takes money to have a website and to keep it running.\u00a0 There are domain names to be purchased and hosting companies to pay to allow your website to be housed on their systems.\u00a0 Typically this amount is less than $20 each month.\u00a0 Business owners don’t mind spending money on their business if they know that they are getting a return on their money.\u00a0 If your website is not producing money for you, it might as well be an unlit billboard on a desolate desert highway in the middle of the night!\u00a0 Fortunately, there IS something that you can do about it.<\/p>\n

Begin by finding out who sees your website.\u00a0 This will simply tell you about the traffic your website receives today.\u00a0 Think of this as being point A.\u00a0 This will tell you the good news and the bad news.\u00a0 The good news is you’ll know where people are going on your website and how long they stay.\u00a0 The bad news is you’ll know how small the traffic stream really is.\u00a0 You can find out who sees your website by installing Google Analytics on your website and allowing it to gather statistics while you work on the other items in this article.<\/p>\n

Think about your ideal customer.\u00a0 If you can identify one customer in particular, an actual person with a pulse and a name, that is best.\u00a0 What are this customer’s needs in relation to your business?\u00a0 What do they buy?\u00a0 If they were to look for something to satisfy their need or problem and they wanted to use Google to search for a solution to their need or problem, what would they type into the search field to find that solution?\u00a0 What location do you want to service?\u00a0 Where is your ideal customer located?\u00a0 These are the items that make up your basic key words for your website:\u00a0 customer problem, customer need, location, services offered, best selling items.\u00a0 Your keywords need to be used on your website and in the content that you produce for your website.<\/p>\n

Your customers are interested in your products and services and they want to know more about your business.\u00a0 This gives you an opportunity to create meaningful content to place on your website.\u00a0 Sell the sizzle of your product!<\/p>\n

Your website has the ability to sell your products and services even when your business is closed.\u00a0 Allow it to do just that by providing a way for your customers to book their own appointments, email you, buy products from you, interact with polls about upcoming products that you’re thinking about offering, finding out about upcoming events and purchasing tickets to those events.\u00a0 Make it easy for the customer to interact with your site and they will continue to come back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
