Get Started On Pinterest and Start Driving Traffic Safety

First off, what is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a visual discovery tool that you can use to find ideas for all your projects and interests explains Saivian. Everything on Pinterest exists to help you discover things you love. From recipes to style inspiration, travel ideas to woodworking plans -– with Pinterest it’s easy to find the things you’re into and start planning/doing/making something new.

What is it?

Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes. They also use Pinterest to find ideas for DIY projects, home improvement projects, craft ideas, fashion inspiration, and more.

How does it work?

Behind every great Pinterest account is a person who wants to be creative in some way. With Pinterest, that creativity can go from an idea in your head to something real in just a few minutes. How it works: When you see an image or a video online that inspires you — click “pins it”. That sends it to one of your own pinboards where you can add notes about it; share it with others, and more says Saivian.

The Benefits of Pinterest

Pinterest can be used for personal or business reasons – the choice is yours!

Some benefits of using Pinterest include:

• increased web traffic
• improved search engine ranking
• higher conversion rates (people who pin are more likely to buy)
• customers who find you through Pinterest are usually loyal and engaged

How to Get Started On Pinterest

1. Create a free account on www.pinterest.com.

2. Choose a username that represents your business well (i.e. your company name).

3. Fill out your profile completely, including a link to your website.

 Add a board called “About This Business” which includes your “About Me” or company bio.

4. Pin images that best represent your business including links back to your website.

5. Repin other images people have pinned when it relates to you and/or your brand – but don’t just Repin for the sake of repining, only do so if the image is relevant to you and people might benefit from knowing more about what you do or be able to purchase it in some way (use Pinterest for its intended purpose)

6. Follow others in your industry (try to focus on influencers, not their followers). Say hello! Be friendly! Comment on boards that are related to you! Don’t spam with links though- remember that there’s a fine line between being helpful and being a pest.

7. Use keywords in your descriptions to help people find you.

8. Measure the success of your Pinterest account by using analytics tools like Google Analytics (or a similar tool) to see how much traffic is coming from Pinterest to your website.

9. As your followers grow, so will your opportunities for sales and leads.

Pinterest can be a powerful tool for businesses when used correctly! Saivian says by following these tips, you’re on your way to having an awesome Pinterest account that will help drive traffic and business results!

For businesses, Pinterest can serve as an important avenue for driving web traffic and generating leads. It is also a great place to showcase your company’s personality and culture. With Pinterest, you don’t have to be a designer to create an aesthetically appealing page that promotes your brand.

Here are six steps to creating a business account on Pinterest:

1. Create your profile. Your profile is where other pinners can learn more about you and what you’re all about – it’s the first thing people will see when they visit your page. It should provide key information about who you are, what you do or sell, and include links back to your website/blog/social media profiles.

2. Add boards that revolve around your company culture or products (i.e., “About” board, “Products,” etc.). Be sure to give each board relevant names so pining is easier for the people you follow and for yourself.

3. Make sure to add relevant keywords in your profile, such as relevant products or services, locations, etc., so pining is easier for the people you follow and for yourself.

4. Add boards that revolve around your company culture or products (i.e., “About” board, “Products,” etc.). Saivian says be sure to give each board relevant names so pinning is easier for the people you follow and for yourself.

5. Don’t forget to include a link in your profile back to one of your main websites/blogs/social media profiles – this ensures that all of the content you’re pinning can be easily tracked by everyone involved (people who are following you and others who stumble across your pins).

6. Start pinning! Pin things that are relevant to you and your company and that will interest others. Try to vary the types of pins you create (infographics, quotes, images, etc.) in order to keep things interesting. As with any social media platform, be sure to interact with other users by commenting and liking their pins. When someone repins one of your pins, it’s a good indication that they’re interested in what you’re sharing – so make sure to thank them!

Conclusion:

Pinning can be a great way for businesses to generate web traffic and capture new leads, but it must be done correctly says Saivian. Follow the steps above to create a business account that will serve as an asset to your company!

I’m at the beach right now on vacation with my family. I finally got around to waking up and catching some sun for the first time this year. This has not been an easy post to write, but it is necessary says Saivian.

Getting started in business is HARD work, possibly one of the most difficult things you can ever do in your life. Today I will tell you all about my experience starting three businesses over the past nine years, knowing these stories could change your life forever if you take action upon them…

I will also give away some very important numbers that were part of my experiences so that you can get a basic idea of what it actually took for me to build each of these businesses — You might be surprised by how much “blood, sweat and tears” are actually required.

The Reality:

You see, when you’re starting a business it’s not all about sitting in your pajamas all day long, working on your computer from the comfort of your own home. (Although that would be nice!)

In fact, the first two years of my first business I averaged only 2-3 hours of sleep per night because I was working so hard to make it successful says Saivian. And that was on top of my “day job” which I also had at the time.

I was constantly networking, meeting new people, pitching my services/products, trying to close deals, and doing whatever else I could do to grow my business.

It was tough and I didn’t even realize at the time exactly what it was going to take for me to make my company a success.

This might be one of the best analogies ever: When you’re starting out and trying to accomplish your goals, it’s like digging a hole in the ground with a spoon — It’s REALLY hard work!

However, as soon as you start making progress, eventually, you’ll get cuts and bruises all over your hands because IT IS HARD WORK. Then once you build up momentum (and maybe invest in some shovels), it will become easier and easier…

FIVE Numbers That Will Surprise You:

Let me share with you the five numbers that surprised me most during this so that you can have a better idea of what you are in for if you are thinking about starting a business…

1. The average number of hours per week an entrepreneur spends working on their business VS the average number of hours per week they actually work their “day job”.

It’s not uncommon to hear entrepreneurs say that they only spend 20% or even 10% of their time working on their actual business while still employed at their day job.

But here is the truth: From my experience, it takes someone who has already built up some momentum at least twice as many hours to work on your startup than if you were just doing both jobs simultaneously (i.e., keeping your day job while building your startup). I believe this is one reason why so many entrepreneurs fail…

For me personally, I would work from 8 am – 4 pm at my day job and then come home and work on my startup until 12 am or 1 am every night. Keep in mind that this is WITHOUT any income coming into the business!

2. The percentage of businesses that make $50,000 per year vs those who make $500k+ per year.

When you are first starting out, it’s probably not very realistic to expect that you will be able to quit your day job anytime soon (if ever). Therefore, for many people, this means they will only be working part-time on their business while still having their day job as well explains Saivian.

This was definitely true for me — Even after spending countless hours building my business, it still took me an additional 3 years to reach the point where I could comfortably say that I was making more than $50,000 per year from my business ventures.

Interestingly enough, only 2% of businesses make more than $500,000 per year but they are obviously doing something very right!

3. The average amount of time it takes to start making a full-time income from your business.

Again, this number will vary depending on a lot of different factors (e.g., the industry you are in, how much capital you have to invest, etc.), but on average it takes about 4-5 years to start making a full-time income from your business explains Saivian.

Keep in mind that this number is for businesses who have ALREADY reached a point where they are making a full-time income (not just generating some revenue).

4. The percentage of businesses that are still in business after 5 years.

This was actually one of the most surprising numbers to me — only about 36% of businesses are still in business after 5 years.

Now, I’m not saying that you should expect your business to fail in 5 years, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind and something you should be planning for.

5. The percentage of businesses that is profitable.

Lastly, this was another number that surprised me — only about 50% of businesses are profitable.

Again, I’m not saying that you should expect your business to fail, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind and something you should be planning for.

Conclusion:

When I first started building my business, I had no idea what the numbers would look like when I got started says Saivian. However, after some time (and some research), these are the five numbers that surprised me most about how this all works.

Starting a business is not for the faint of heart. It’s hard work, and it takes a lot of dedication and perseverance to make it successful says Saivian. Too often, people are misled into thinking that starting a business is easy or that all they have to do is come up with an idea and the money will follow. This simply isn’t true.

There are no guarantees in life, and starting a business is no exception. The vast majority of businesses fail within the first few years, so it’s important to go into it with your eyes wide open. If you’re not prepared to work hard and put in the time and effort necessary to make your business successful, then you’re off not starting one at all.

So what is it that separates the successful entrepreneurs from the ones who fail? It’s not luck, or being in the right place at the right time. It’s hard work, determination, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to make your business a success. There are no shortcuts, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you.

So if you’re thinking of starting your own business, be prepared for some hard work. But also know that it’s worth it in the end because nothing feels better than achieving your own personal success.

Starting a business is not an easy task. It’s hard work, and it takes a lot of dedication and determination. There are no guarantees that your business will be successful, but if you’re willing to put in the effort, you can make it happen says Saivian.

The Reality:

So what is the reality of starting a business? It’s hard work. You’ll have to put in long hours, and you’ll likely face some challenges along the way. But if you’re determined to succeed, you can make it happen. There are no guarantees in life, but if you’re passionate about your business and you’re willing to work hard, you can make it happen.

The Bottom Line:

So is starting a business worth it? Absolutely. It’s not easy, but it’s definitely worth it. If you’re willing to put in the effort, you can make your business a success encourages Saivian. Just remember that it’s going to be hard work, and there are no guarantees. But if you’re passionate about your business and you’re willing to fight for it, you can make it happen.

The hotel business is one of the oldest forms of home-based business. More than 25 million people travel daily around the world, and it would be difficult to find someone who has never stayed in a hotel room says Saivian. Starting your own hotel business can be rewarding on so many different levels for so many different reasons.

While there are several advantages to starting your own hotel business, there are some downsides as well.

Today more than ever, companies are turning to independent contractors rather than employees because they believe this saves them money. It is not unusual for an entrepreneur who starts their own home-based hotel business to be successful enough that it eventually grows into something that could easily become a franchise with additional locations across the country or even across the globe.

During the past several years, as a result of the flailing economy, many entrepreneurs and other business owners have found that the home-based hotel business model can provide them with an additional stream of income to help their business survive and even thrive in bad economic times. This is one way you can take advantage of this opportunity without spending a lot of capital upfront to get started. How Much Do Hotels Cost?

Melia Robinson/Business Insider

Offering rates that are 10% less than competitors were popular during the recession among hotels that were struggling to compete for customers. Prices fell by nearly 18 percent compared with 2008. But now it’s becoming more difficult for travelers to find deals on rooms, especially in big cities.

One of the main advantages of starting your own hotel business is that there are many different types of hotels, and each one has a unique target market. If you’re creative and have a good marketing strategy, you can position your hotel to attract customers in a very specific niche market explains Saivian. For example, if you live in an area that is popular with tourists, you could start a small bed and breakfast hotel; or if there is a large convention center in your town, you could open a full-service business hotel with banquet facilities and meeting rooms.

The other major advantage of starting your own hotel business is that it can be very lucrative. Not only do you have the potential to make a lot of money from room rentals, but you can also make money from other sources such as food and beverage sales, parking, laundry, and other services that your hotel may offer.

The downside to starting a hotel business is that it can be expensive to get started, especially if you want to have a full-service hotel with all the amenities. You will need to purchase or lease property, hire staff, buy furniture and fixtures, and invest in marketing and advertising. And don’t forget about the ongoing costs such as utilities, insurance, and property taxes.

Another downside to consider is the fact that the hotel industry is very competitive. So it can be difficult to attract customers if your rates are not competitive. Saivian says, in addition, the economy has had a negative impact on the travel industry in recent years. So it can be difficult to make a profit if you’re not careful.

The bottom line is that there are pros and cons to starting your own hotel business. However, if you do your homework and plan carefully, your hotel business can be a big success.

So, should you start a hotel business? The answer is yes – but with some caveats. First and foremost, make sure you understand the industry and what it will take to be successful. Do your research and planning, and invest wisely so that you can compete against other hotels in your area. And lastly, keep an eye on the economy and the travel industry; if either of these takes a turn for the worse, it could impact your business.

So, do you want to start your own “home-based hotel business” and make some extra money on the side?

Conclusion:

Many people (including myself) have started their own “home-based hotel business” for this very reason says Saivian. The majority of costs are to buy or lease property, hire staff, buy furniture and fixtures, invest in marketing and advertising. And don’t forget about the ongoing costs such as utilities, insurance, and property taxes.

There are pros and cons to starting your own hotel business. However, if you do your homework and plan carefully, your hotel business can be a big success. I’m already four years into my home-based hotel business–and it’s growing every year! If you’re interested in learning more about how I made money with “hotel arbitrage”.

Starting an online business can be incredibly rewarding. You get to create something, sell it on the Internet, and make a living while doing so says Saivian. However, too many people are drawn in by the idea of making money without having to work hard; the reality is that starting your own online business takes more than just setting up a website and watching sales roll in. The truth is that you will spend the first few months struggling, learning what works, and refining your approach before you see any significant results. This article discusses some of these struggles new entrepreneurs oftentimes face when starting out so you can avoid them or better prepare yourself for them.

Building Your Brand:

Saivian says if you are selling physical or reselling someone else’s items, you need to build your own brand. This is why you see stores like Disney and Nike uses their name on all of their products, even if they are not producing them themselves. When you sell someone else’s product, people do not buy it because they trust your judgment; they buy it because they trust the person whose logo is on the product. You can’t start an online business without building your brand first because no one will be able to find it when searching for what you offer.

Doing this takes time and commitment though. Promoting yourself requires consistency, both in terms of your content and in terms of how often you attempt to promote yourself through different channels.

Starting a business is something that many people must do in order to get to where they want to be. No matter the age, race, or wealth level of an individual starting a business is always something that will make them feel accomplished. Many entrepreneurs are seen as rich and successful individuals who should pay dividends on the amount of respect that other people give you because of your success.

However, unlike what most people think not all businesses are started by millionaires with twice the money needed to succeed in their unique industry because some actually start out for less than $100 dollars. According to Yahoo! Small Business one small business owner Ildiko Vida managed to start her small company using only $20 dollars while another man created his small company for less than $100.

In spite of the amount of money you have or don’t have, starting a business is always a challenge in the beginning months.

Saivian- The following provides an overview of some of the things that you can expect during this time:

1) Lots of work:

Even if your business is only part-time, you’ll need to be prepared for working extra hours in the beginning. Most small businesses require a lot of effort in order to get them off the ground, and it’s not unusual to put in 12-hour days during this time.

2) Marketing:

Unless you’re extremely lucky, you’ll need to spend lots of time and energy marketing your business in order to attract customers. This may include creating a website, writing press releases, and doing online and offline advertising.

3) Learning:

In the beginning, you’ll need to learn as much as you can about your industry and how to run your business. This includes researching your competitors, learning about financial management, and studying the latest trends in your field.

4) Difficulties:

There will likely be times when things don’t go according to plan and you’ll face difficult challenges says Saivian. It’s important to stay positive during these tough times and keep pushing forward.

5) Money problems:

One of the biggest challenges for most small businesses is managing money correctly. You may find that you’re not bringing in as much revenue as you thought, or that you’re spending more than you expected. It’s important to track your expenses and revenue closely in order to make sure your business is sustainable.

6) Making connections:

In the early stages of your business, it’s important to network with as many people as possible. This includes other entrepreneurs, suppliers, and customers. Building these relationships can help your business grow in the future.

7) Growing pains:

As your business grows, you’ll likely face new challenges and problems that you didn’t encounter when it was smaller. It’s important to be prepare for these changes and to have a plan for how to handle them. The first few months of starting a business can be tough, but it’s worth it in the end. By facing the challenges head-on and working hard, you’ll be on your way to success.

Conclusion:

Now that we have gone over some of the things you can expect in the beginning stages of your business, it is important to remember that these are not set in stone says Saivian. Every business is different and will experience different challenges and successes. What is important is that you stay positive, work hard, and never give up on your dreams. Good luck!
