Business Basics

It’s important in today’s world to have your business to have some form of online presence especially if you’re not going to have a website. Therefore if you are not on social media, you should join now.

Because you are thinking about not having a website, it’s important for your customer to have another way to contact, connect, and communicate with you.

Please understand, just because you don’t have a website, doesn’t mean you get to slack off. In fact, you are going to need to be more active on social media and share your product or service as well as adding value to your audience.

What’s Needed to Run Your Business without a Website

Here’s the top secret you have been waiting for.

The way for you to run your business without a website is by using a landing page. Yes, it’s shocking I know but it’s so easy to do and it’s truly the only thing you need to run a successful business.

The reason that people get websites are for blogs, contacts, to sell products or services, and social credibility. All these reasons are great but if you can’t afford it, a landing page will work just fine.

TWEET IT: Good News: A website is not necessarily needed to run your business

I previously started a business selling mugs and graphic t-shirts without a website and it was very lucrative and you can do it too.

What is a landing page

A landing page is the section of a website accessed by clicking a hyperlink on another web page meaning that a landing page will take you somewhere that the business wants you to go.

This works perfectly for you and your business because starting out, you may just want to sell one item or service. You can create your landing page to promote your product or service which then will allow your customers to purchase from a secondary site such as Paypal.

How I did it

When starting that mug and graphic t-shirt business, I had limited funds and getting a website just wasn’t on my list of things I could afford. I immediately found Leadpages and created my landing page.

Here's how you can do it

1. Set up your account

Leadpages makes it pretty simple to set up your account. It quick and easy just as a opening an email account. Select "Get Leadpages" in the righthand corner to get started.

You have 3 options to choose which plan works best for you and your budget. The prices are a lot less than what you would pay to have a designer to create your unique website. I based my plan selection on my previous monthly expenses budget. If you do not have a plan, I suggest creating a budget now to ensure you stay within your limits.

2. Scroll to the top and select "Templates" to get access to a variety of premade templates for your landing page. The great thing about this is Leadpages previous researched all the templates and gives you the option to select the most converting pages. Awesome sauce!

3. After scrolling through all the selections ranging from webinar templates, giveaway, and opt-ins, select the template that works best for you and what you will be offering to your customers.

4. Edit the template by adding your brand colors, pictures, and font selection to tailor it just for your business. Remember the colors, font, and branding you are using on your social media platforms. It's important to stay consistent with your brand throughout all things related to your business.

5. When you have completed, your template, be sure to add the payment method link to the template so that it's simple for your customer to pay and collect their items or service.

You're done! Just that simple. After you have click publish, copy the link and add it to your social media accounts that you are active on.

Each platform allows you to add a link for free. Also I use Bitly to shorten my web address to make it easier to use on your social media post and if you haven't guessed already, it's free.

See, eazy pleazy! You're well on your way to make bank without break it!
