Promise Your Website and Your Business a New Year Boost

New Year Resolutions for your business are hard to stick to, especially when you have to give up the sauce, cake, and everything else you enjoy, go to the gym, makeover the house/garden and spend more quality time with the family! However, keeping the following half a dozen pledges could transform your business in 2012…

1. Write Your Website Blog Regularly.

Keeping up your website blog is vital to ensure your website has fresh content. Be sure to write content that is interesting or useful to your readers. This way, you’ll get Facebook Fans, Twitter Followers, Google +1’s, and avid return visitors to your website, together with recognition from search engines.

2. Join Twitter. Tweet More.

If you’re not part of the Twittersphere yet, write your first Tweet in January 2012. We did and now try and stop us! We hope you’ll follow us too. Please click here or the Twitter icon below to see our Twitter page and follow Astutech Tweets. Call or email us if you need help to design your Twitter profile.

3. Attract Twitter Followers.

Encouraging Twitter users to follow you will help you enhance your business profile, welcome new business contacts and ensure your 140 character message is networked and seen by the right people. It works. Please follow us now, or we won’t be able to follow you! Our tag is #MobileDesigners.

4. Set-up a Facebook Page. Collect Facebook Fans.

If you don’t have a Facebook page yet, sign-up and get the ‘Like’ button on your website. See how the Like button works and help us by ‘Liking’ this page. You can Like Us when signed into your personal or your business account (or both). Remember that creating a Facebook business page is different from personal Facebook accounts. You can start here: Facebook page sign up. Call or email for help with your Facebook page.

5. Join Google+ and Get +1’d.

Google+ is Google’s social marketing tool that promises much for your website status. When Google+ account holders ‘+1’ your web page(s), Google will give automatically it a bit of kudos in its algorithms and help you appear on relevant searches. You need to sign-up for a Google+ Account and sign in to +1 a page. Try it now by +1’ing this page or sign up and come back to +1 us.

6. Update and Mobilise Your Website.

The most important decision of all this year, or perhaps the decade, could be how you respond to the surge in smartphone and mobile Internet device usage in business. If you do none of the above, make sure you resolve to mobilise your website in 2012. For more info see our related articles or contact Astutech for help and advice.
