Ten Smart and Simple Web Habits
Jody Krebs
January 2012
1. Be Focused
Define your Digital Goals.
Keep them in your sights.
Know what you are trying to accomplish and
stay focused.
2. Be Organized
Plan your work.
Work your plan.
Execute your strategies knowing the right timing,
right platform and right tactics and
always, always keep your goals in sight.
3. Be Simple
The content your visitor wants should be easy to get to and
your goal easy to reach.
Design and develop your site to
support your customer and support your digital goals.
(Remember, your website is about your customer, not yourself.
Too many companies speak at their customer, not to their customer. There is a big difference.)
(
4. Be Smart
Know your audience.
Give them what they want,
when they want it,
how they want it.
5. Be Interesting
Content, content and then
new content…
Don’t get stale. Give your audience a reason to visit,
to learn, to buy…
whatever your goal may be.
6. Be Social
Use Social Media that fits your audience and fits your goals.
Talk to your audience in the voice they want to hear and in their language.
Give them information that is valuable, timely and relevant to them.
(Remember, speaking just to hear yourself speak isn’t necessarily a good thing – even if you do have a great voice.)
7. Listen
What is your audience saying?
Dig deep into your website’s analytics and
learn what your visitor is doing on your site.
(Remember, use real data to help guide you…
not thoughts or assumptions that could derail your plan.)
8. Be Creative
Use multi-platform strategies by
thinking outside of the box…
Stand out from your competition.
9. Be Profitable
Measure, test. Measure, test.
And then, measure and test some more.
Always keep your eye on your ROI.
10. Be Enthusiastic
Be quick to adjust to market conditions and
your audience’s ever changing
digital habits.
