Tip 37 - New Years Resolutions

Happy New Year to all and all the best for 2012.

But remember the New Year is not just a time for personal resolutions its a great time to get your business in shape. Take sometime to think of how you can do better in 2012, and remember how ever good or bad 2011 was for your business, dont think that 2012 has to or will be the same.

So when you are making your list for yourself of New Years resolutions, make another list of resolutions for your business, and why not use 2012 to not only get yourself in shape but you business as well.

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND ALL THE BEST FOR 2012.

Tip 36 - Blogging

As you are already reading this you know what a blog is, and although the term blogging has changed dramatically over the years, from just being someones account of what they are doing to more like a news feed on any particular subject.

So if you dont already have a blog you should start one, just write about what you know and if interesting enough people will share it. There are two main points to writing your blog theses are

To get exposure, the more your write the more change you have that people will see you as an expert in your field and hire you to do stuff for them.
Get a bit extra cash, you can actually make money from your blogs, there are teh very simple advertising methods such as Google Adsense, Amazon, Clickbank to name but a few. But if you enjoy writing you can actually make money from writing about stuff on your blog, everything from toasters to tech, sites such as SponsoredReviews.com will let you write about other peoples products or services and you get paid for doing this. I was a bit wary at first but have just been paid for one of my reviews and know this site is genuine.

So get yourself onto blogger.com or wordpress.com or https://www.tumblr.com/ and start you blog, and remember keep it up to date with interesting stuff and you will get more exposure and more people will know what you do, but remember keep it interesting, dont just blog about yourself

Tip 36 - Twitter

OK so you have all heard the news about Google+ and new changes to FaceBook, well this tip is to not forget about the huge success of Twitter and why you should use it.

First of it you have not already done so head over to Twitter and create your account, and start tweeting. Making sure you tweet about stuff that is not only interesting, but stuff that you are doing. Dont use Twitter as a place just to shout your link to your website, blog, facebook, google+ or whatever.

Each tweet should be about interesting stuff and try to incorporate hash tags by using the hash (#) symbol before words, for example your tweet could read "just started my new blog on #photography".

Keep your tweets short and interesting and you will get followers.

Also make sure you use lists, these help you group people into categories you understand, there are a couple of great places to start your twitter journey once you have created your id.

www.listorious.com - A great place to share your lists and find interesting people to follow
www.twellow.com - A directory of twitter users, just like the phone book only for twitter.

Once you start tweeting just keep it up, and make sure you pay attention to others who you follow, retweet interesting post, mention people in your posts by using the at (@) symbol, for example to mention me use @potissimus in your tweets.

Feel free to follow my Twitter account and I will follow you back.

Tip 34 - Google Insights for Search

Ok so you have spent your entire life writing your website, getting the design just right and now its live and the visitors are coming, or are they.

OK as you will already know the key to a successful website is having not only other websites linking to your website, but having the right keywords in and on your website so that it can be found.

Ok so how do you find out which ones to use (I have touched on keywords before but not the stats), the key to the right keywords is research. Play around with different words to see which ones are being searched. To do this you have a few choices and these are

Open a Google Adwords account and use the keyword Tools in the Reporting and Tools section to play around and find out which keywords are being searched and how competitive they are.
Google being the nice people they are have started to open up some of the search engine data for you to play with, and although still a Beta solution the new kid on the block is Google Insights for Search with this tool you can see what people are searching for almost in realtime, and unlike the keyword tools in adwords this shows you the information from the search engine direct, so although a keyword may not have a lot of competition it may or may not be popular.
Not forgetting Bing which is the other big search engine on the block, by using the Bing Webmaster tools you can research your keywords and website from the Bing side of the fence.
Not forgetting that Google also provides a suite of webmaster tools to help you with your search engine journey

By using these tools above you can get an idea of which keywords will work best for your website,

Once you have your keywords and have made changes to your website to track the visitors and keywords they use to come to your website. Again make sure to stick to both side of the fence in terms of search engines, use both Google Analytics and Bing Webmaster Tools to check on your visitors and where they are coming from.

Happy website promoting and best of luck.

Tip 33 - Testing

I thought I woudl take some time to mention one area most website designers and developers struggle with and that is testing. Simply put just making sure your website works and looks the same on all browsers.

It is the norm for anyone who designs websites on a regular basis to have an array of browsers on their machine in order to check that their website works on different browsers, but you may be asking what about me I only have a single website and its too much to have all browsers on my machine.

The Solution

The solution lies in online testing, and although there are a lot of websites that offer this service both free and paid, the best one I have come accross is by the lovely people at Adobe and its called the Adobe Browser Lab this lovely service let you test you website in not only different browsers but different operating systems also.

Dont Forget

Whilst it is always a good idea to test your website in different browsers, never forget that not everyone is using teh same size or resolution of monitor, although the standard is still 1024 x 768 make sure you test on as many resolutions as possible, and remember a given resolution is not the same on a wide screen monitor as it may be on say a Mac laptop.

So in testing make sure you test both compatibility as well as viewability.
