HOW TO MARKET YOURSELF OR YOUR BUSINESS ONLINE EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LAPTOP, WEBSITE OR MONEY TO PAY ANYONE FOR MARKETING AND YOU STILL WANT TO BE VISIBLE ONLINE IN LESS THAN 21 DAYS
Hey there,
It's me again with some hacks for YOU... That 👆long title, isnor a joke!
This crazy hack is for you if you have:
👉 No money to build a good website
👉 No time to wait for your site to start ranking
👉 No laptop (Oga you must have a smart phone oh!)
👉 No programming experience
But still want to:
✔️ Build an online presence that markets your business
✔️ Want people to find you on Google when they are searching for your kind of business
✔️ Connect with people in the digital space
✔️ Create the impression that you're popular 🤒
This is not a typical "secret"
It's something that has been there but many of you don't even know you can twist it around to work for you. It's simple but it requires a little work and some brain.
I'm sure you have both... Don't you? 😃😃😃
So here is what you need to do:
✅ Look out for local directories in your country or state of residence. Just Google "Local Directories + Sate" To see the best (high ranking) five to choose. Example: "Local Directories Awka" "Abuja Directories" etc
A directory is basically a website that lists businesses and their details. Majority of them are free. Unlike your personal website these websites have very high ranking and daily visits. They also arrange businesses in order making it easy for people looking for top dogs to see your business if they care to look deeper.
Google also has a Directory where it lists local businesses that people can quickly find on search. Do you even know that?
In Nigeria we have VConnect, Nigerian Business Directory, Businesslist.com.ng, Lagos Online Directory etc.
So do this: 👇👇👇
✅ Put your business details in 5 of these directories of choice. It's free. They will market your business for you in ways you cannot imagine.
That's not all.
There's one more trick that I want to show you today.
One more... 💥💥💥 that can market your business out there.
Have you heard about Jiji.ng? It's the #1 classified ads site in Nigeria. Basically, they help you sell stuffs for free.
What of Eventbrite? Ehh... That's a global event management site you can use to advertise and sell tickets to your events.
So what about them?
✔️ They have very good ranking
✔️ They can be used to position yourself where you can be found by people looking for stuffs, events and meetings online
✔️ They are free
Omor whah ah you saying? 😃
See what you're going to do do:
✅ Take your business to jiji.ng and place an advert there (of course you will register for a free account)
✅ Go to Eventbrite and place advert (but make it look like an event while you talk about your business on the description section). Just be creative with it so it doesn't appear like an abuse.
Please:
❌ Don't use Eventbrite to market a boutique, dogs for sell or stuffs like that. Use it to advertise NGOs, Classes, Programs, Consulting Services, events etc...
✔️ Jiji.ng has categories for virtually any kind of market you want to sell. Jiji also ranks like hell on Google.
Come back after 14 days when you're done doing these things.
Google your business (name and key words) and see how your name will be smiling on Google.
I learned this after realising that I needed to quickly create a presence online and it was taking my website like forever to catch up with the myriads of other sites out there scrambling for attention. I figured if I tap into other high traffic sites I might be able to leverage their traffics and ranking.
