Last Minute Villa Holiday

Written by Peter Hartely

Continued from page 1

During this time I was approached by a number of companies who were offering to get my website found on Google and Yahoo. They would ask me for £200 to £500 and I would have to pay this up front before they would do anything for me. I did however have enough knowledge of repparttar search engines to know that these sorts of companies would not get me repparttar 135125 return on investment that I was looking for. Then sure enough 2 weeks later my website was listed on position 1 of Yahoo and Msn and Lycos. This is when things started to get out of control.

I had villa owners on repparttar 135126 phone wanting to place adverts; I had enquiries from customers wanting to book villas. My small business adventure had turned into a second full time job. I new when I started this venture that I wanted to give my customers repparttar 135127 best possible service in return for their custom which is exactly what I did. I gave up my day job as it were and went full time with repparttar 135128 website. The thing that I did not fully realise when I started out with this venture was repparttar 135129 amount of work that was involved in sustaining repparttar 135130 website.

I have to add villas to repparttar 135131 site which is very time consuming I have customers on repparttar 135132 phone and emailing me to enquire about repparttar 135133 villas. You would think this however would be straight forward but there is never a enquiry saying “ I seen that villa on your site I would like to book it please” that is only what dreams are made of. A website is just like a Bricks and Mortar company you do have to work hard to get repparttar 135134 rewards you are looking for.

The reason I am writing this article I suppose is to be of some benefit of those people thinking on starting an online business. Just to make them aware of exactly what they are letting themselves in for. My advice to them would be simply this. With a lot of hard work and a good business sense will help far more than any quick fixes. Always be aware that if something is too good to be true...It usually is.

Hope you had as much fun reading this article as I had writing it.

Good Luck with any business ventures you get involved in.

Thank Your Loyal Customers Just like thanking your top affiliates, you should also consider thanking loyal customers. You can express gratitude to customers that repeatedly by your products, customers who buy your high-ticket items, or both! Promotional items remind your clients that repparttar
