I’m here to help. Do you want my help? Do you care about making your business better?
My greatest frustration with my business is trying to get business owners to understand the value of a better web site, of SEO, of regular updates, of “conversation”, or any of the other things that we, as net dwellers take for granted.
what are the chances that any of the other millions of businesses around the world are getting it right?
A real live free business web site. I can show you how to do it. It’s easy. and free. and for your business.
Scoble talks about this very issue. There’s a huge market out there and I want to figure out how to crack it. There’s got to be a way.
How can I tell business owners about the easy, cheap, free ways to promote their business on the Internet? Please tell me.
Last week I was talking with Graham Weston, chairman of Rackspace (I now work for Rackspace) and I asked him whether he knew of anyone looking out for regular everyday businesses. I showed him the Web site of KSCO, a small radio station in Santa Cruz, and noted that it sucked, but that it is emblematic of a whole raft of businesses. Most of whom really don’t get the Web and understand how their customers are using it.
Heck, just yards from Facebook’s main building on University Ave is a great restaurant, Junoon. Do you think they get the modern Web? Absolutely not.
They have tons of Facebook employees as clients. Do they have Facebook Connect built into their Website? No. Do they have any real people on their website? No. Do they have any real interactivity? No. Do they have a mobile client? No. Do they have a community, er, forum? No. Do they have Twitter integration? No. Do they have a way to get people into the restaurant during dead times? No. Did they have any SEO help so people can find them easier? No (their site is largely Flash).
Now, if the business right by the front door of Facebook isn’t getting it right, what are the chances that any of the other millions of businesses around the world are getting it right?
And why aren’t the tech bloggers helping them?
