Things To Do Before You Launch A Brand New Website

Kumar Gauraw

Starting your own website doesn’t seem to be rocket science and, it’s not. But, having a plan in place to launch, knowing exactly what to do before and after the launch is very important for your success.

I have often wondered, and I have seen many of my friends beating around the bushes to find success after starting a new website. Sometimes, I have ended up making the same mistakes a second and a third time. If you have launched a website or are planning to, you know what I’m talking about.

With MisterAcronym.com website design and development in full swing, I am again thinking to revisit my launch plan of this website with my partner, Bill Butler. MisterAcronym.com is a creative project with the intention to entertain and educate, while helping our readers expand their vocabulary in English language in a very creative manner.

Should You Use Facebook Page Or Facebook Profile For Business?

Kumar Gauraw

There seems to always be confusion about using Facebook Page vs Facebook Profile for business. For a small business owner or a solo entrepreneur, it is a bit confusing to go one or the other way.

When I started to use Facebook back in the days, I didn’t have any business online. My profile on Facebook was to be in touch with friends and family. It was actually the cool new place where all my Orkut friends were migrating.

WordPress Plugin To Boost Your Amazon Marketplace Earnings

Kumar Gauraw

If you have paid attention to the sidebar and the Products page of my website, you already know that I participate in the Amazon Associates Program, where I get paid when people click on my Amazon links and buy something from the Amazon marketplace.

I have been buying products from Amazon (especially books, CDs and electronics items) and mostly, you shop at Amazon too. I love recommending Amazon products I enjoy – to my friends, family members and also reference them in my writing when the topic comes up (especially books).

Then, why not be a partner with Amazon and leverage my efforts to generate some passive income? This program made total logical sense to me and therefore, I joined a few years ago.

However, as we start to mature and begin to get confidence, we begin to commit a little bit more, and then a bit more.

A time comes when we begin to ask ourselves, “Can I also make money while I continue to do what I am doing online?” If you've had this question on your mind, what you are thinking really is – how to build an online business with your website.

What Not To Do On Social Media If You Are An Entrepreneur

Kumar Gauraw

Knowing what not to do while using social media for business is at least as important as knowing what we must do to leverage social media for busness. Earlier, I shared how to leverage social media for business where we discussed some of the basic steps for the entrepreneurs to take control of their personal brand and online reputation for business success.

Social media is the most powerful tool in hands of an entrepreneur who can leverage its power for business growth. If done right, the benefits of using social media platform are tremendous.

However, it is equally important to know and remember the cardinal rules of using social media for business. If used inappropriately, social media is powerful enough to only increase the pain.

How To Leverage Social Media For Business Success

Kumar Gauraw

Social networking has impacted the way businesses are done. Many young entrepreneurs have made fortunes just because they know how to leverage social media for business. Unfortunately, so many others struggle with it. Many entrepreneurs, though they are good with traditionally well known methods of marketing, are not able to adapt to social media correctly and end up losing out so much potential every day to their competitors.

Sometimes it's lack of knowledge. But, in most cases, it's lack of willingness to learn and change. I recently had a conversation with an entrepreneur struggling to just keep the shop open because of the marketing challenges. While talking about internet marketing and leveraging social media for her business, she informed me that she is already doing it and nothing is working.
