Why Do Many Businesses Fail Online?
Research shows that 90% of small businesses that fail online do not have a proper digital strategy.
So, what exactly is a Digital Strategy?
What does it involve?
Today, let me take you through it.
It is very difficult to achieve success without having a clear and strong plan. As the Swahili saying goes:
“Ukiona vyaelea, vimeundwa.”
Every successful result you see online is backed by a strategy, effort, and consistency.
How SEO Changed My Digital Journey
One day, during my ICT journey, I was sitting at my office feeling completely stressed.
No money. No peace of mind. Just pressure.
While browsing YouTube, I came across a video about SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
As I watched the video, a question suddenly came into my mind:
“What if I optimize my website and make it reach a point where anyone searching for ICT services in Tanzania finds my company on the first page of Google?”
A light bulb went on in my mind.
I became extremely curious.
At that time, I was using my office internet connection because I was working somewhere else. I started researching deeply about SEO and began implementing what I was learning on my own website.
Remember, this was towards the end of 2017.
It took me almost two years of testing, adjusting, and learning from mistakes before I started seeing real SEO results on our digital platforms.
Since 2019, we have received calls from different people saying:
“Is this Rednet? Do you develop websites? I need your services.”
Maybe you are among the people we have worked with before, or perhaps this article will inspire you to work with us in the future.
All this has been made possible because of the SEO foundation we built into our digital platforms.
I have talked a lot about SEO and its benefits for businesses before, so today I will only highlight a few important points.
You may ask:
“So what exactly should I do to benefit from SEO?”
That is the million-dollar question that inspired me to write this article.
But before we continue, you need to understand one thing:
SEO requires commitment, patience, and consistency.
The answer lies in understanding how digital strategies work.
SEO Technology: How It Makes Your Business Attractive Online
One of the biggest benefits of SEO is that you do not have to keep paying repeatedly for advertisements or depend only on public relations campaigns to attract customers.
Through SEO, your products and services can continue appearing whenever someone searches for solutions through search engines such as:
- Bing
- Other search platforms
Your business becomes visible to potential customers at the exact moment they are looking for what you offer.
Many businesses create websites, but they do not understand how to attract customers through:
- SEO
- Blog content
- Proper online advertising
- Digital marketing strategies
The question is:
What prevents many entrepreneurs from investing in digital marketing?
The truth is, people love easy solutions.
SEO may look simple, but it requires:
- Commitment
- Consistency
- Creativity
- Patience
The online market is highly competitive, and every business wants to appear on the first page of Google.
Competition is real.
So What Should You Do?
Here are some practical steps to strengthen your online business:
1. Create a Professional Website
Make sure your website has a dedicated blog section where you can share:
- Business updates
- Industry information
- Product announcements
- Useful knowledge for your customers
2. Write Articles Regularly
Publish valuable content on:
- Your website
- Medium
- Other relevant platforms
Content helps customers discover your expertise.
3. Talk About Your Products and Services
When creating content, focus on explaining:
- Your products/services
- Their benefits
- Challenges they solve
- Tips and solutions
- Industry secrets
Educate your audience.
4. Build Trust With Your Customers
Make sure your customers can speak positively about your business.
Remember:
Trust is one of the greatest forms of business capital.
5. Maintain Quality Standards
Consistency and quality will separate your business from competitors.
6. Create Business Social Media Accounts
Build your presence on platforms such as:
- X (Twitter)
- Medium
7. Promote Your Business Consistently
Your social media platforms should regularly communicate about your:
- Products
- Services
- Achievements
- Customer success stories
Make it part of your daily business routine.
8. Master the Art of Copywriting
Learn how to communicate your message in a way that attracts and convinces customers.
Copywriting is extremely important in digital marketing.
I will share more about copywriting in another article and through my WhatsApp updates.
