Also, if you are an budding entrepreneur looking at setting up an online shop, managing an ecommerce website will require you to have a minimum number of website marketing skills?
As an Internet Marketing Practitioner delivering lots of speaking engagements across Scotland delivering Digital Marketing Workshops, the audience consists of lots of micro and small business owners whose core skills are neither in website design or website marketing. Many business owners did not set out to be qualified SEO Copywriters and end up with ‘Writers Block’ when there is a need to produce engaging content for their website pages. It has been observed that many micro and small business owners either leave their ecommerce website project in the hands of their developer or just someone they know who has something to do with IT or computers. That person might not be the best person to lead your next website project.
There are lots of people who will want to build your small business website. But, many will be just website builders and not website marketers. In today’s market place if you are a micro or small business considering going into business and selling stuff online be prepared to work hard at actually managing and marketing your ecommerce website. There is a lot to do, especially if you also have to run your business and you are the only person behind the brand you are trying to grow.
If you are based in Scotland maybe a good starting point for you is the Business Gateway Digital Boost Workshops, online tutorials and if eligible you get some 1-2-1 support to help get you started.
