Ways to Thrive in any Economy

I happened across this article at Copyblogger that I like and think is worth the read. It focuses on the current economic situation and big changes and people’s reaction to it. Even though the environment can change drastically, human nature basically remains the same. The article focuses on four ways to thrive in any economy.

It’s in our nature to be entrepreneurs, to create something of value and then exchange it for something we want. During the Industrial Revolution only a few knew how to run factories, so the rest had to become the trained workers.

During the current uncertain economic crisis more entrepreneurs are emerging. So how does one deal with this 21-century economy? You could do what entrepreneurs have done since the dawn of history.

1) Use the human drive to determine your own fate. Work hard, keep your eyes open and make your own luck.

2) Use great ideas. Today’s marketplace requires, among other things, valuable and useful information, digital tools and education. They don’t require a workforce. You can find out just what customers need and package it.

3) The village has been your customer in the past and is so still. Your reputation and you are one and the same as with the ancients. But if you mess up now, there’s social media to bad mouth you. What you create has to reflect caring.

4) Use your DNA, the nature to be entrepreneurs. Not everyone will become an information entrepreneur, but you can if you choose to.

“Embrace the entrepreneurship that’s in your DNA. Keep your eyes open for problems to solve and markets to serve. And buckle up. Like every exciting ride, this one’s got a few hairpin curves.”

You would have all those stores competing to get the attention of the people walking around just looking at the windows of a few stores, but very few actually go inside any of those stores. It works the exact same way with the internet. The more attractive your initial display is, the more chances of having people go into your website.

Think of articles as scout agents that are assigned to go out there and attract customers into your website. You create these articles with as much quality of content as you can, so that they can be picked up by web crawlers and shown in search results. The more quality articles you have out there, the more chances one of them will be on display when someone types the search phrases that relate to your content.

Let's say someone goes on the internet looking for a new Smartphone they want to buy. They will most likely go to Google or their favorite search engine and type the name and model of the phone they want. This means that if your website is about Smartphone's or general technology, you will show up on the search results if you have created quality content with those keywords in it.

This is why it's so important to create good quality SEO articles for your website and make sure they have all the keywords that might drive people to your website. Quality and quantity are just as important in this case. The more content you have out there... Read More
