Your Website Isn't a Brochure, It's Your Home Base
So you've built a website for your home business. That's a fantastic first step! But many people make a critical mistake right after: they treat their website like a static online brochure. They create it, let it sit there, and then wonder why nobody is visiting. To truly generate traffic, you need to shift your mindset. Your website isn't a brochure; it's your active, central home base.
Think of it like this: your home base is the one piece of the internet that you truly own and control. You don't own your Facebook page, your Pinterest profile, or your email list—those platforms can change their rules at any time. The goal of all your other online activities should be to guide people back to the one place that is 100% yours: your website.
Every piece of marketing you do should be a signpost pointing back home. When you post something interesting on Facebook, include a link to a more detailed blog post on your website. When you share a great image on Pinterest, make sure it links back to a product or article on your site. The idea is to use these other platforms to catch people's attention and then invite them back to your home base where they can truly get to know you and what you offer.
When people are on your website, you can build a deeper connection. You can invite them to join your email list, read your other articles, and explore your services without the distractions of a social media feed. This is how you turn casual visitors into a loyal audience. This week, look at your online activities and ask yourself: is this pointing people back to my home base?
What is one action you can take this week to make your website the true center of your online business?
