As you know we are all fond of the easy things in life. We all like the path of least resistance. The easier we can find our way the better for us. The more complicated something appears the less we understand it and as consequence the less we like it.

With this in mind we need to approach the building of a website in a way that will avoid all of the above. Your website will need to be laid out in a way that understands the visitor's needs and addresses them clearly and concisely.

The question then becomes how to do this? When considering what subject to build your site around you will need to start your research on the forums relative to the topics of choice. For example if your passion relates to golf then you will need to visit forums where this subject is discussed.

Here you will need to look at what questions are being asked and where the people posting to this forum are having difficulty. Then you will need to get engaged and try and help. Here is how you could do this. Create a signature that links back to a free blog that asks the question "what is the biggest problem you face when it comes to golf"

On your free blog you could ask other questions. Your blog then can have a form where people can submit their questions. Of course you would need to offer them something to do this that will help their game and of course you will need to offer it for free.

Based on this you will be gathering actionable intelligence relative to your target market. With this information you can then build a website that addresses these concerns and provides a product that you are either affiliated with or that you have created yourself.

Now that you have this information you can build a real website that can generate a real income in multiple ways. You will want to build a site that is structured properly for the search engines and one which is easy to navigate for your visitors.

To conclude if you lay the groundwork properly then the rest will fall into place.

Let's say you have a website. You probably feel pretty good about it. You have a presence. People can find you. You're out there. Sure, these are all good things; the only problem is everyone has a website. A website is the bare minimum.

A website is only just enough.

As a small business owner, as an entrepreneur as an upstart you must standout. You are the underdog. Underdogs don't out hustle the more established folks by doing just enough. And if you only have a website, you are only doing just enough.

Want to build your business and exceed your goals?

Do more than just enough.

Hold on, let's get down to it. If you consider how advanced the internet has become in just the last 5 years, if you only have a company website you aren't doing just enough.

You're doing less than enough.

You're doing enough to exist, but not enough to excel.

You're doing enough to be counted, but not enough to go over the top.

I'm sorry. I really like you. I wish you the best, but the truth is you're behind the curve.

You can change it, but to do that, first you need to change how you see the web and the possibilities. You've got to decide if you're serious about your business? Is your business concept a winner or a loser? Can it work? Is it working? What to do about it? More of the same isn't the answer. Making your website more pretty isn't going to cut it. You need to diversify.

I may be blunt, but I'm not exaggerating. Like John McCain says, "Time for some straight talk".

A business website should be only one piece of your web presence. You should also have a presence on every social networking website out there. You should have articles related to your business all across the information superhighway. You should belong to all the major (and some not so major) business networking sites. You should have a video on YouTube, a Face book, a MySpace and a Squidoo page. You should be everywhere other business owners congregate, share ideas, exchange referrals and talk shop.

You must be there.

No excuses.

No exceptions.

Sure, it takes time to set up marketing mechanisms across the many websites that are available, but it's time well invested because your company website isn't the end all to be all of generating buzz and finding leads on the internet, your website is just the beginning.

Make a commitment to your business and cease and desist looking at those social networking sites as options. They aren't options, they are necessities.

If you need more reasons to justify putting your resources into more than a company website, just take a look at Barack Obama's surge. Obama-mania owes much of its energy and support to the social networking sites that it uses. Get involved and secure some of that same viral power for your business. 99% of it is free and 100% of it is good business.

Welcome to the first day of your new way of looking at promoting your business on the net.
