Internet Based Business

Ten Things To Do For Your Internet Based Business In A Seasonal Lull

Ten way to make the most of a lull in Internet based business


Most online business owners are affected by seasonal lulls. There are always peaks and troughs in the number of visitors to most websites. These occur hourly, daily, weekly etc, but sometimes there is a distinct lull in business and it feels as if the Internet has come to a halt. You could spend this time checking your email inbox and your website stats every half hour or so because you can't believe how slow things are. Alternatively you could put this quiet time to good use so you will be better prepared to deal with the surge when the quiet time is over. This will help your business towards success and also make you feel virtuous.

Here are ten things you can do to get your internet based business ready for new business in the busy season.

Get your website listed in Web Directories

If you can afford it, invest in directory submitter software, it will pay for itself many times over in time saved and page rank improvement. If your budget won't stretch todirectory submitter software, this will be a tedious job but, it will be worthwhile. There's no point in trying to rush this task, there are hundreds of web directories and it would be too boring to sit at this work for days on end. Make a habit of "suggesting" your website to a certain number of web directories each day. You can't have too many links back to your website. Tip: make a list of the directories as you find them and note whether you have suggested your site to them or, if not, note down the reason why for future reference. Link Directory Submitter will automatically mark the directories you have submitted to.

Set up a viral advertising system

There are many sources of free viral advertising that will take on a life of their own and continue to grow and spread for years after you have set them up. Investigate this while you have some spare time, set it up and forget it. You can't have too much free online advertising. Tip: Use free Page Swirl to manage your website advertising.

Clear out your inbox

An Internet based business will act as an email magnet. It is probably months since you sorted our your inbox thoroughly. Set up folders for your important categories of mail and move anything you need to keep into the appropriate folder. Delete anything else that's over a month old. That goes especially for anything you don't remember reading. Don't be tempted to open old emails to check the contents: if it was not memorable in the first place, you don't need it. If any of the emails contained useful tips, you would have implemented them by now.

Organise your bookmarks

Be honest, how long is it since you gave your favourites/bookmarks a thorough spring clean? We all start out with the best of intentions for the way we will deal with saving useful urls to our bookmarks and most of us end up in a mess with far too many things stuffed into a "handy" miscellaneous folder where we can never find what we are looking for. It is well worth spending time sorting these saved urls into logical folders where we will have a chance of finding what we need in a hurry.

Find new Internet business forums

Find new Internet business forums to join. Posting messages on Internet forums is a good way of getting to know new people who might be interested in your business and most forums give you the chance to post a link to your website as part of your signature. Don't just make one off postings on random forums simply to get your link on there, choose Internet forums that are relevant to your business and get to know the other members. Getting the most out of forums involves building relationships and that takes time, so you need to be a regular contributor.

Write some articles

Writing and distributing articles is still one of the best ways of getting free traffic for an Internet based business. If you have put off article writing, take advantage of the slow down in business and spend time brushing up your writing skills. If you have already discovered the value of article writing and make a habit of submitting articles to directories, use this time to write a few extra articles, you can't have too many articles published online.

Find new places to submit your articles

There are new online article directories opening up all the time. Do some online searches to locate new directories. If you are using article submission software, add these directories to your database. If you submit articles manually, add the directory name and url to your list of places to submit to. Also check high ranking websites in related categories to your own to see if they accept article submissions.

Exchange high quality links

Even if you have an automatic link exchange system working on your website, it is worthwhile making personal requests to webmasters for "partner" reciprocal links with high PR websites. Manual link exchanges of this kind are time consuming but, if you want to have any hope of getting links back from "important" websites, you need to make a personal approach. Tip: to make reciprocal linking easy, use Link Machine (free trial available). The more you can automate mundane tasks, the faster your Internet business will grow.

Be Sociable

Spend some time investigating social networking sites and join any where you feel comfortable. Social networking is a great way to get your business seen online without you having to pay for the privilege and you can have some fun at the same time. As with forums, it is essential to check the rules before you do anything on these sites and, above all, make sure you never spam other members.

Take some time off.

Join the rest of humanity and take a vacation. Everybody benefits from a bit of relaxation and fun. You can go back to being an Internet business hermit in a refreshed state of mind and body as soon as the holiday season ends.

Even if your Internet based business does not have seasonal content, it can still be affected by the time of year. Two noticeably slow seasons for most online businesses are high summer and the Christmas season when so many people have pressing matters to attend to offline (such as holidays!). You can't avoid the Internet lulls but you can make sure you don't waste time you could be using to improve your business.
