A lot of people decide to get into the search engine optimization game expecting immediate results, this is misguided. It seems strange that people who have built up some important businesses would be so impatient with any process. If anyone should know something about being patient with a process it is the small business person.

Anyone who has ever decided to start a business would be silly to assume that profits and success would come easily. They know that these things take time, as do all things worth doing. The same is true of developing a web presence and making your way upwards in Google rankings. When you hire an SEO company they begin a slow but steady process that includes a wide array of services on a number of platforms. For all of those to converge and lead to some fantastic search rankings is going to take time.

As in all building national and local internet marketing is all about reputation building with both customers and the services (search engines) driving those customers to your site. As your reputation for offering valuable content on the internet grows so too will your ranks and then with that your customer base and web presence. But patience is the most important thing.

online marketingIf you’re just getting into the online marketing game, Twitter can be especially daunting. It doesn’t work like Facebook; you can’t just add people and expect to look cool. In fact it’s just the opposite — to get people to follow you, it helps if you have fewer followers. So is becoming successful at Twitter a catch-22?

Not really. The key is to keep your tweets relevant and engaging. No one cares what you had for breakfast, unless it was at the Ritz Carlton as a result of the small business conference you were invited to because you’re a leader in the internet marketing business.  Keep tweets to the point, try to be funny, and if all else fails, just retweet the headlines that you’re reading. Chances are some people aren’t up with the latest, don’t read that newspaper, and aren’t informed about it — the faster and more clever you can be about interpreting that news the better your chances of gaining followers.

Consistency is another factor. Try tweeting at least a few times a day. And if you want to quickly build a following, search for people who are in your field, in our case online marketing. Follow them, and chances are they’ll follow back. At this rate, in a few weeks you’ll feel pretty comfortable on Twitter.
