Did you know that 1 in 5 small business owners don’t have any sort of digital marketing plan? The good news is that you don’t need a degree in marketing to promote your business online these days. There are certainly enough tools out there to help you produce, publish and promote good content. It’s never been easier to do your own marketing, but it’s never been more difficult to do it well. Where does one even start? Well, you can start by making sure you don’t make any of these all-to-common mistakes in Year 1. Cutting the Wrong Corners As we mentioned earlier, there are lots of free or cheap tools available for small business owners today. You can find open-source software and free templates to do nearly anything. However, one area where you definitely get what you pay for is your web hosting. For example, you will find that many of the best hosting services for WordPress are still very affordable and they are far faster and more reliable than many of the cheaper solutions out there. Sometimes cheap turns out to be very expensive, as you will experience customers leaving your website because it’s too slow. Cheap hosting actually costs you leads and sales. Doing Too Much Yourself 71% of small business owners do their own marketing. Yes, you can save money by not paying a designer to create your site, or not paying a writer to write your blogs. But ask yourself how much your time is really worth. Let’s say your time is worth $95.00 an hour as the business owner. Spending 3 hours writing a blog is actually costing you $285.00 because this blog took you away from more important revenue-generating activities. Wouldn’t it make more sense to pay a writer a flat $90.00 to...

The economy is on its rise, international trade and investments are encouraged by Indian authorities. This way international companies are appearing in the country and they need highly skilled professionals. Though native graduates from universities are qualified enough, it becomes a kind of trend to recruit international employees to multinational enterprises. In addition, English is a secondary language. Business communication is mainly conducted in English. So if you are fluent, you’ll feel comfortable in India. Indians are rather welcoming to foreigners. The tax system is quite liberal in India. The government created strategies for international employees so that they can avoid double taxation.

May 9, 2019In today’s business landscape, information can be power. But its impact depends on several factors: how it’s formatted, who has access to it and how timely it is, to name a few. Reporting is one common strategy companies use to stay up-to-date on certain data insights. This practice can be very fruitful, as it helps keep stakeholders in various departments informed. But reporting has become somewhat of a “can’t live with it, can’t live without it” type endeavor for some companies—especially when people feel they’re being underutilized in some way. Improving how your company handles reporting is a matter of getting the best return on investment possible. You want the benefits of reporting to far outweigh the effort that goes into them. Here are a few ideas for streamlining this process. Define Reporting Roles and Responsibilities It sounds simple, but miscommunication about reporting roles and responsibilities can cause a lot of confusion. The last thing your company needs is a time-sensitive report slipping through the cracks because various employees thought someone else was handling its creation. Some organizations have specialized data or IT teams of specialists overseeing all things data, from back-end functionality to front-end reporting. Other employees would then work primarily through this team to request the reports they need. Other organizations use self-service analytics, which allow employees to run their own queries rather than depending on these data teams. How you approach business intelligence depends on your company’s culture and the software you use to tackle reporting. As GCN points out, one pitfall data teams often fall into is developing “swanky dashboards with elaborate back-end architecture that sit collecting virtual dust.” The problem with having only a handful of people tackle the entire company’s BI reporting is that it keeps everyone else in the dark. To increase adoption,...
