eCommerce

There's a lot more to this than people realise. Yes you've got your site up and running but now you need to drive traffic there & make some sale. You could hire an expert to sort out your SEO - search engine optimisation but it's not an exact science and Goole change their formula ever few years.
In addition, if you're a start up that's seems a significant outlay form the start.

3 Easy Time Saving Tips
(when using the web)

1. Why
Ask yourself why you are looking for that information/product. So often people get side tracked on the net and end up wasting a great deal of their valuable time reading/surfing irrelevant information (I know I'm the first one to admit it).

2. What
Is there a particular purpose, "what do you want to achieve". What is your game plan?

3. Where
Think where to look first, it might be worth posting an open question on a social media site and get other peoples suggestions first, rather than just relying on what Google throws back.

There are many companies who I would have loved to do business with but for some reason they don't deliver to the Channel Islands.

You need a Facebook page, Pinterest, Instagram, Google plus, Twitter and two blogs, one on Wordpress and one on Blogger.com & god forbid you might actually find time so run your business after all this blogging, optimizing (with a 'z'), tweeting, liking etc etc.

So I'd better blogger off and actually generate some sales for planetzim.com
