Website Development Strategies - Top 5 Things to Do For Newbies
Was wondering from all you marketing guys if you had to pass on your wisdom to a newbie what would your top 5 things you need to do to make life easier for your business? [no wrong answers, all are welcome]
For me;
1) Make sure the KW is not competitive, why waste time writing for something you can't rank for early on.
2) Build links internally and externally. Linkwhisper is great for that, [Paid tool]. Make sure you don't have orphan posts on your site and link to other informational posts externally on your topic [show Google this is a helpful post]
3) Don't KW stuff your posts - keep it simple 2-3 per post of 1000 words.
4) Do the SEO basics Checklist there is a lot here but worth doing the basics each time.
5) Try to have a catchy title something to make them take a closer look at your post. Something I struggle with but there are tools to help including OpenAI.
OK, now your turn, let's make this a helpful post for newbies if we get enough replies we may come up with a checklist for all to follow.

I don't think mine would help. I am working a book promotion site, but our weather is been so bad, it is all I can do do even get on the computer right now!
Maybe when the temps warm up, Mark!

Here’s my top 5, based on trial and error running a small online biz:
1. Pick a niche you can actually sustain interest in, burnout kills more projects than bad SEO.
2. Focus on building an email list early, don’t rely solely on algorithms.
3. Create systems (templates, automation, outsourcing) to save time.
4. Track results but don’t obsess, consistency matters more than daily stats.
5. Network. Seriously, half of the opportunities I’ve had came from talking to people, not Google rankings.
And if things ever feel overwhelming, I’d keep IntouchCX phone number https://www.pissedconsumer.com/company/intouchcx/customer-service.html handy, support can sometimes be a lifesaver.
