#Ad – This is a collaborative post

It seems now, more and more people are taking the leap into creating their own business and why not. With so many opportunities now out there, I am all for making your own future with your own business.

However, the idea and getting started are the easier parts. How do you keep the dream alive and turn it into a sustainable business?

Raising your businesses profile is key to keeping it going and there are some key ways to make sure you keep your business name out there.

  1. Get social – Social media plays a big part in all businesses. It is a way to keep active in the public eye. So many businesses play social media right, however taking advice if you are not sure what to do is key. As great as it is for building a profile for you, it is also very public should you get it wrong! I’ve found Twitter seems to do the best for businesses more than Facebook.
  2. Take professional advice – There are lots of ways to raise your profile and site visits such as PPC services. Rather than do this yourself, it is best to reach out to a professional who can guide you on this.
  3. Networking – All businesses can network in one way or another. For bloggers, there are lots of events where we can meet other bloggers, brands and PR agencies. Find networking in your niche and get out and about. It will get your business and brand known and who knows what may come from it.

With the way the world has evolved over the last few years, the internet is the place to be. Whether it be through selling your products or just selling your brand on social media. There is a lot to be learnt from this. Look at competitors in your market, what are they doing that is going well or not so well.

You don’t need to copy them but learn from someone that has already done something then take the idea, make it your own and propel yourself onto the centre stage.

One thing I have learnt since I started blogging, what you get from it is what you put in. The weeks and months when I have built up items on my blog, the return I get from paid work is fab. When I don’t dedicate the time, it then shows in the rewards.

It is the same with your business, you make it what you want, however hard work will always pay off.
