- Attract traffic (it’s traffic war out there you know).
- Decrease bounce rate (your headline and design matters).
- Get your message across.

Adding pictures or logos to your webpages is a key element to success with regards to the three above mentioned goals.

+ Attract Traffic +
Images are very quickly picked up by search engines. Pics do bring traffic because a lot of web users use Google Image search.

+ Decrease Bounce Rate +
A page which features only text might turn off visitors. Having pictures on the page, above the fold, will bring balance to the page and make it more attractive thus reducing the percentage of readers who hit the Back button.

+ Get your message across +
A picture is worth a thousand words. A good picture or logo will help put your message across in a clear way.

How to design your logo, pictures etc.. without using photoshop?
Photoshop is not free, you can only use a demo version for up to thirty days. 30 days may be enough time for you to get familiar with this design software but most likely after that time you will still feel the need to make some changes to your webpages.

Luckily there are tons of free design softwares available on internet. Just type Free design software in Google and you will have plenty to choose from.
In comparison, if you are looking for a more specific program such as a T-shirt design software the number of alternatives will be much smaller.

Being popular is the name of the game in business and on the net. If you are not constantly focusing your internet business on popularity then you are probably building a beautiful shop in the middle of the desert.

Don’t just assume that people will like your website because the design of your homepage is slick. For this to happen, they will first have to stumble upon it.

To make your website popular, you will have to work hard at it. Always have something new to talk about and send out on the social media / marketing platforms: Delicious, Twitter etc..

Internet applications make you popular on the net and offline too. Applications help define the uniqueness of your website.

A personalized application makes the difference between your site and others. That’s if it was thought and built to help. Ideally, your custom online application is:

- Useful

- Easy

- Quick

- Unique

- Free

If the application you offer on your website has all of the above specifications then it will soon be used by a large number of people. This is what I call a popular tool.

Popularity is the reward that you get for helping people. Time or money saved by the online users is the reward for trying the application, giving it a go.

Developing an application, may it be a loan calculator, a quotation system, a forum or anything else that works in a user-friendly way can be difficult.

Bringing something new to the world wide web may not require much imagination, but it certainly requires a good set of solid program / IT skills.

Internet is very similar to a street market in many ways. There are a couple of keywords that really would work very well for your business.
Type your favorite keywords in Google and heck the number of results sitting there: MILLIONS!

Are you going to queue? No, it’s Traffic War!!!

Online business basics by L Lemaire

What is the best way to do business online? Surely an other one million dollar question! And the one who can answer this question will ultimately get any money problems out of sight.

It’s easy to do business online if you know what you are doing and if you’ve got the right partners. It’s also very easy to get distracted when doing business on internet because there is so much at hand.

Since the end of the industrial age, we are in the era of information. The unfortunate downside to this is that we are sometimes overflowed with information.

My personal way to stay on track is to apply old school thinking to new technologies. For example, I like to think of a website in the same way than a brick and mortar shop.

To me, the best way to do business online means first mastering the two main aspects of running a shop:
- Getting the crowd in the shop.
- Getting them to purchase your products.

Getting people in the shop should immediately remind of Hilton famous saying: There are three important things when opening a new site: Location, Location and Location.

That means of course that a beautiful shop in the middle of the desert will not generate any revenue. What is called Location in the real world is simply callled Position in the world wide web.

The position of your website is important, it determines the traffic in your shop. What your landing page is made of plays a huge part in the position of your website.

Play it safe: Use Autoweb Creator as a starting point when creating your webpages. Write naturally about your business and your customer needs and use the tools at hand (often free) to check that your text doesn’t over-use one keyword or expression.

In the next article, we will examine how important it is that your shop is easily accessible by a simple click from as many quality websites as possible.
