It seems the work we need to do to promote out business and our websites just goes up and up and up. When will it stop or when will it get easier is a question I’m asked all the time. Well there is good news, once your website has gone through the SEO (search engine optimization) part of your marketing things should get easier. And yes I said easier but not necessarily move into a time saving mode.
Once the SEO is complete you will have a strong set of keywords to use as your basis for things like article marketing, web page building and external linking. Having a direction is always easier then not having one.
Once you are ready to expand your pages and write expert articles you will need so help. The web is full of handy tools to help you organize your information and research your niche. Here is a list of sites you may find meet your needs in getting both organized and efficient in promoting your business.
- Advertised as “A personal research assistant. Inside your browser” Zotero is full of tools to help in your research endeavors.
- DecisionStreet bills itself as a website service that “helps you make smarter decisions through a set of simple yet powerful tools and access to the experiences of others.” Check it out.
- LingoZ offers a user built dictionary in many languages.
- Right off I loved this site, SuTree, it is a site of free instructional videos with hundreds of topics to choose from.
- MindBites is built around the community model of everyone has things to share.
Many of these sites are still in beta but you just never know when you will find just the right tool to help in your work of finding and collecting information that will put your business in the lead and your website on top.
