Small business coaching, Small business coach consultant and Social media optimization

Small business coaching plays an important role for those self employed who want to set up their own small business or already running their own small business. A small business coach can help self employed to excel in their small business by providing quality small business coaching and classes. But the problem is that most of the self employed are in love with what they do but they somehow overlook the details of running a business. Here comes the role of small business coach.

A good small business coach can guide self employed people by providing good small business tips, strategies, techniques to increase sales, to teach specific marketing skills, to craft an action plan for growth, to help managing time and setting up priorities.

Most of the small businesses have lot of good business ideas but the main problem lies in execution, implementation part. A small business coach should ideally guide them on planning, strategizing, and execution, track-monitor-adjust part.

Here comes the importance of social media optimization (SMO). The most cost effective medium of promoting your small business on Internet. Here you might think that whether I am a small business coach or not. My answer is that my role is bit different than a small business coach. I don’t interact face to face and don’t give small business coaching in a 1:1 class. I help them only as SEO consultant / Web consultant to explore the huge potential of the cost effective advertising medium of Internet  and to promote their business in a structured and strategic way on Internet. I ran small business, got the taste of both success and failure and learned from it. So I share my experience with them and clearly suggest them the proper way of utilizing the web for their small business.

There is a good example that says the difference between a small business coach and a consultant:

• A business coach will help you understand how and why you drive a car, help you to determine what’s holding you back from driving properly, and jog along next to you as YOU drive.
• A business consultant will explain why one car is superior to another, teach you how to drive the car, and if necessary, drive the bike for you.

Well, now coming to the second part – Social media optimization. It helps you to be visible on web in an interactive way. The advantages for small business are -

• Brand building
• Increased inbound links and direct referrals.
• Network with the best in the industry.
• Reaching targeted market segment.
• Very less media costs.
• Increased site traffic.
• Increased search engine rankings

Now the question is, as a Web consultant/SEO consultant, what I can do for you?

• Back-link building via blog articles, whitepapers, comments, and content updates for more site traffic.
• Social bookmarking and tagging via appropriate tags, for making your website popular.
• Customized SEO content, Contents are made into text, audio, PDF and video. Portable contents of this nature are then submitted to related websites for sharing.
• Continuous monitoring and analysis- monitoring progress and suggesting tips to improve the social media marketing campaigns.
• Integrating various applications- integration of applications like Google Maps with your site.
• Creative Internet marketing- introduction of informative contents and creative marketing strategies for better site traffic.
• Integrating SEO tools- integration of blogs, RSS and other essential tools with your website.
• Blog marketing, forum marketing, community building, classified ad posting and many more.

So if you want to explore your true potential as a small business owner, then you need a good small business coach and if you are already in right track but don’t know the right way to execute your web promotion campaign with that required expertise level, then comes the role of a Web consultant to help you out with a solid web promotion execution action plan.
