Owning Your Own Business

Do Your Own Thing By Owning Your Own Business

Whether you dream of someday owning your own business or in fact, you already do, it certainly comes with it’s challenges. The payoff, when you do your own thing is the freedom that you’ll eventually experience. It is rarely easy but it is so rewarding. Even though I still work a full time job, I have started my own business and work on it as often as possible. My passion is to provide whatever help I can to people like me that dream of working for themselves.  

One way I offer help to small business owners is through Goldlatch.com. There you have the opportunity to list your business for absolutely FREE! Go ahead, check it out and please, list your business. It won’t cost you a thing! How many opportunities do you have to expose your business for free? After you list your business, submit an article educating readers about your specialty. It may get placed on the home page.

I quickly learned that marketing is one of the biggest challenges that a small business owner will encounter. What doesn’t help the matter is that marketing options are so cost prohibitive for the small business owner. With GoldLatch.com, my hope is to provide small business owners with connections to people seeking their service and products in order to free them up to concentrate on their business.

As it turned out, once GoldLatch was ready to launch, I had the same problems as everyone that I was trying to help. I looked around for the best and most affordable way to let people know about GoldLatch.com.  I joined local small business groups and initially impressed because I could see that there were other people in my same position who also found that owning your own business was challenging. But it seemed that everyone was spending so much time looking for answers that no one seemed to have. Then you have the problem of how can you run your business while you’re pounding the pavement in search of customers? This was a good start for me but it showed me how much an answer was needed rather than what the answer was.

As I continued to network throughout the small business community handing out hundreds of business cards and brochures, I was making progress but it was slow. I knew that people needed help that I felt a large network of small businesses could provide, but how could I get the word out about GoldLatch.com in a big way. 

I really needed more momentum and one day it dawned on me; my company is Internet based. Why aren’t I looking to the Internet to help me promote my business? How will I get GoldLatch.com found on the Internet?

I had thrown up a few keywords way back in the beginning and thought that I was getting some results from them but what I didn’t realize was that the keywords that I was using either got me to the top of Google but didn’t have anyone looking for them or were phrases that everyone was using but I was so far down on the list that no one would ever find me. This has driven me to finding the answer to how to get my business found by people needing to get their businesses promoted. I knew there was an answer because someone had to be coming out at the top of the search engines. It might as well be GoldLatch!

I spent months looking for answers to how I could opimize my site on my own because I couldn’t afford to hire anyone to help me.  I wasted a lot of time hitting dead ends that looked good but didn’t deliver. There are so many people on the Internet charging for solutions that have no capabalities and no intention of helping you in any way. Sorting through to find real help was daunting.

But with persistance, I not only found the answer to how to optomize my site but I also learned how to promote products that have been so helpful for me that I can offer to small businesses helping them even more. The best part, with income from promoting those products, I was able to remove the small cost I was originally charging for a listing on GoldLatch.com. Two products that have taught me so much about how the Internet works and how I can get the ranking that I need to be found by people needing my help are Niche Blitzkrieg and  Wealthy Affiliate. Each of these provide step by step for absolute beginners, are very affordable, offer forums where you can get help from the actual owners of each website and lots of users sharing your experiences.

I hope that you find owning your own business is something that you are so glad that you did. Do your own thing and although it is really hard work, let the Internet help you by taking my advice and learning how to get your website found by those needing your help.
