Final thoughts of Business 110

 

Week 14

4/4/21

 

This was my first semester back in school after a ten-year break. I am so thankful I was led to taking this class to dip my toes back in. This course has been very inspiring from learning more about integrity, gratitude, and perveance to establishing habits of character, finding your passion and disciple leadership. The biggest takeaway, however, is the significance of relying on our Father in Heaven. As we rely on and align our will with God’s we can create a life full of meaning. The journey to entrepreneurship is not an easy one and to take it you need to depend on guidance from Heavenly Father to help keep the rest of your life in balance. Entrepreneurship requires acts of faith, which is something that develops the more use it. It takes a lifetime of learning but that is what this life is for.

 

 

My last bit of advice for someone wishing to begin the journey of entrepreneurship is this, begin with the end in mind. I have a house filled with four small children; we watch a lot of Disney movies. One of my daughter’s favorites is Moana. In the movie Moana is trying to learn how to sail and is given the advice “Knowing where you are by knowing where you’ve been.” This is important but even more important for sailing the seas of life is knowing which direction to sail in by knowing where you want to end up. President Monson said of this in his first presidency message of June 1989, “Finishers Wanted,” “It has been said that the door of history turns on small hinges, and so do people’s lives. We are constantly making small decisions. The outcome determines the success or failure of our lives. That is why it is worthwhile to look ahead, to set a course, and at least be partly ready when the moment of decision comes. True finishers have the capacity to visualize their objective.

 

Lastly, I would caution to never lose sight of the reason we are here. And that is to prove ourselves to our Father in Heaven. He created a plan for us to follow. This plan revolves around families, they are the pivotal point of our lives. They should remain the priority and setting up guardrails can help us to keep this at the forefront of our minds. Guardrails are safety.

Quality Score and Google Analytics

 Quality Score      A Google Ads quality score is like a check engine light. It shows when something is in need of attention but doesn't tell you exactly what. The score is best off of three things. Your click through rate, the relevance of your ad to what people search for and the quality of your landing page. It's an overall performance score at how well you are doing at giving the consumer what they want. A few tips for raising your score are: 1. Optimize the mobile site. Be sure it is easy to navigate and has a fast loading time. 2. Answer the user's search. 3. Treat data responsibly.  Google Analytics      Google Analytics gathers data on your user.

Backlinks and Analytics

Backlinks   There are many strategy's for building backlinks and what will work best for you won't work the best for everyone else. It's important to find your target audiences and the places they spend their time online. That will help you to know how to build your own strategy.  My strategy contains consistent posting on social media sites that have been found to be where my audience is located such as Pinterest and Instagram. I will also include LinkedIn for the purposes of my backlinks. It's important that your social media backlinks are shareable and highly valuable. You need high quality content if you want it to do well. I will also be reaching out to authors to include products and backlinks onto their sites.  Analytics Google Analytics is a helpful tool to gain insights on your target audience. You can find ages, gender, location, even browsers and device types. Another thing analytics is great at gathering information about is how long people are staying on...

SEO

This week we worked on our search engine optimization. There are many things that going into this but important things to include are unique value, keyword optimization, social media sharable, and user experience. Each of these play key parts in your website being included high up on a search engine.  Having unique value sets you apart and keeps you revenant. You need to be able to offer something in a way that no one else is.  Keywords are how people find you. If you aren't using them correctly then when people are searching for something you are able to help them with you will not be included in their results.  Nothing turns people away like a poor user experience. It creates your first impression and reflects your customer service. If people don't have a good experience on your interface they are going to trust what you have to offer.  Social media is a key tool these days. It's a way to build a brand and you can use it for free. It offers a quick way to get word ...
