Your Home Based Online business-Seven
mistakes to Avoid
Marketing a home based online business successfully takes time and
a lot of effort. Don't sabotage
your success by
making these common errors.
1. Not adding content periodically, or updating your
business website. It is estimated that the average website only has new content added six times a year. A website
needs new content from time to time to maintain interest, and pages need to be kept updated to stay with the
times.
Protect the time investment you have made in your home based
online business. To keep visitors and search engine robot coming back, you need fresh content.
2. Overuse of pop ups. Popups can add greatly to the
success of your business if used prudently. Set your pop ups so that they get your visitors attention without
overly annoying them. And be sure to provide a way for the visitor to close them.
3. Audio and video are becoming increasingly popular on the
internet, and can add a lot of interest and versatility to your business website. Do give your visitor some
control. Nothing is more annoying that opening a website and being assaulted by loud speaking or music.
4. Don't make your pages so busy that the message gets
lost, or it is difficult to navigate. If you need more space, make another page and encourage visitors to continue.
This accomplishes two things. It gives you another page on your website to monetize, and it keeps your pages
attractive and easy to use.
5. Choose harmonious color combinations that are
appropriate to the subject matter of your website. Vibrant colors can add appeal, but keep the more intense colors
to sections where your visitors will not need to dwell.
The other extreme is pale pages with faded and very small text.
These can look very attractive when taken as a whole, but they are very difficult to read for any space of
time.
6. Navigation should be clear cut and as easy as possible.
Help your visitors to move throughout your site and find what they need.
Use links (with anchor text) to help guide them to other pages
you'd especially like them to visit. This is good SEO and helpful for your visitor.
7. don't use oversize graphics that increase load time.
Consider whether the graphics are really needed, and what they add to the visitor experience. Do be sure to name
your graphics using your keywords. If you can't do this, the graphic doesn't belong on your page.
The competition for your home based online business increases
every day, with more and more websites entering the internet arena. Use all the sensible tactics you can to get and
keep visitors to your business website.
