In this article:\nIs listing services on Facebook Marketplace allowed?\nSelling products on Facebook Marketplace\nFacebook Marketplace is becoming a frequently visited platform and it allows individuals and businesses to browse, buy, and sell products to new audiences. Currently, more than 800 million people are using Facebook Marketplace each month.  \nThis makes it a great opportunity for businesses to sell their offerings and gain new business. But there are some caveats that business owners should be aware of. \nPlease note: this article is intended for informational purposes only. You should adhere to all terms of service for all online platforms you use. Please read and understand them.\nSelling services on Facebook Marketplace by boosting Facebook ads\nLet’s start with local services businesses. In an attempt to reach new audiences and gain brand awareness, many businesses may try putting together a Marketplace listing for one or all of their services. These will probably not be approved by Facebook. \nDespite what some articles out there may say about Facebook Marketplace allowing home services to be listed on its platform, Facebook has clearly stated that all services are against its commerce policies. \nAccording to the social media giant, “All listings on Marketplace must comply with our \nCommerce Policies\n (which list what you can sell on Facebook) and our \nCommunity Standards\n (such as images and descriptions).”\n(Image)\n\nSo, you’re not likely to make it far if you try listing your services on Facebook Marketplace. And we recommend that you don’t even try, because the more you try to do something against Facebook’s policies, the more you risk getting your privileges on Facebook revoked. \nHow to show your services on Facebook Marketplace\nAll that being said, there are still ways that you can advertise your local services business on Facebook Marketplace, even if you can’t place an actual listing there. (Of course, you should always conform to the rules of any platform.)\nFacebook has several different options for advertising your content on its platform, but one way that you can get placements for your ads in the Marketplace is by boosting a post from your Facebook page. \nBoosting a post is a quick way to set up an ad on Facebook without having to set up an Ads Manager account. You can do this right from your business’s Facebook page. \nFirst, create a post about your services that you can boost to new audiences. Video content has the opportunity to get more placements and it generally has higher engagement rates, but you can reach Marketplace with general images and text too. \nNext, publish your post on your Facebook page and click “Boost Post” on the bottom right corner of your published post. \n(Image)\n\nThen, fill out all of the settings for your boosted post. This includes:\nChoosing the button label that you want on your ad and the exact URL that you want the post to link to\nSetting up a special ad category (if applicable)\nChoosing your audience\nSetting the duration and budget\nSelecting your goal (this generally defaults to “Automatic” and that’s fine)\nSet your placements (this allows you to include your ads on Instagram and Messenger if you want to, and if you have an Instagram account linked to your Facebook page)\nPayment method\n(Image)\n\n(Image)\n\nAfter all of your settings are filled out, you can click the option to preview your ads in all of the different placements that Facebook allows. This will include:\nFacebook news feed on desktop and mobile\nInstant articles\nFacebook in-stream video on desktop and mobile (if you have video content)\nSuggested videos on desktop and mobile (if you have video content)\nFacebook Stories\nMarketplace on desktop and mobile (this is the entire goal, right?) \nMarketplace search results on mobile\nGeneral search results on desktop and mobile\nWhen you are satisfied, click “Boost Post Now” and monitor your post as it starts to show up for more and more potential customers. \nSelling products on Facebook Marketplace\nWhile selling products on Facebook Marketplace is allowed for businesses, there are some products that are not allowed that we want to bring your attention to. \nThere’s the general “no drugs, drug paraphernalia, alcohol, gambling, sexual content” rule, but there are some other items that Facebook has listed as prohibited in its Commerce Policies. \nOther items that you might not have known about that are against Facebook’s Commerce Policies:\nAnimals and animal parts (however products for animals like cages, toys, collars, etc. are fine)\nHazardous good and materials, including chemical pesticides and flammable/combustible substances\nIngestible supplements, including vitamins, protein bars, and protein powder\nMedical and healthcare products\nSubscriptions and digital products\nWeapons, ammunition, and explosives\nEvents or admissions tickets\nGift cards and vouchers\nThis is not a comprehensive list, it just includes items that are not generally frowned upon. For Facebook’s full Commerce Policies, \ngo here\n. \nIf you’ve determined your products are not against Facebook’s policies, then go forth and sell! \nWe have just the guide to get you started: \nFacebook Marketplace step by step: how to get set up and list items\nAnother quick note about Facebook Marketplace if you aren’t familiar with the ins and outs of it all: Facebook Marketplace is not an ecommerce platform. There is no exchange of currency or shipping options for general listings. A general listing allows you to display your product in Marketplace so that customers can then choose to come into your store to make the exchange. In order to have ecommerce capabilities, you’ll need to set up a shop on your Facebook page (this is also explained in our \nguide\n above.) \nTips and best practices for selling your products on Facebook Marketplace\nAs you set up your product listings, you’ll want to take special care to set them apart from the hundreds or thousands of other listings from individuals and businesses. \nUse these best practices to guide you along:\nUse professional photos on your listings. You can take good quality photos with your phone, or if you have professional product photos available, use those! Before posting, ask another person if the photos look professional\nInclude helpful descriptions of the products. Don’t just list the name of the product, list the details that people are looking for: size, dimensions, weight, color, etc. (depending on the product)\nList the actual price. Don’t just list $1 or $123 to get people’s attention. They want to know what the actual price of your products are\nAlways have a second person take a look at the listing before posting it. They can help check for spelling and grammar errors and give you a second opinion on how the post looks. \n

In this article:\nWhy use LinkedIn for your business\nHow to set up a LinkedIn business profile\nHow to use LinkedIn to grow your business\nLinkedIn has more than 645 million members worldwide. That’s a lot of people to connect with to help grow your business. \nThe best part is, any business can set up a free LinkedIn account. With the many opportunities that LinkedIn offers to connect you with potential employees and other professionals in your industry, it’s a great tool to utilize for your business. \nWhy use LinkedIn for businesses\nBeyond just the sheer number of people who use LinkedIn on a regular basis, this professional network can provide your business with tons of opportunities, from spreading the word about a new job to connecting with industry leaders and staying up to date on industry news. \nThe three main benefits your business can get from Linked in are as follows:\n1. Build your professional network\nLinkedIn is a powerhouse for connecting with other like-minded professionals. You can follow industry leaders, trending topics for your industry, and gain valuable insight into what other business owners are doing to thrive in their businesses. \n2. Increase your company’s exposure to attract quality employees\nWhen you create a company page on LinkedIn, you have more opportunities to attract quality employees to your business. You can post job opportunities to gain interest from qualified applicants all over the place. \n3. LinkedIn increases your business’s credibility\nWhen customers and potential employees see that your business has a LinkedIn account, that adds another level of trust to your business. LinkedIn is widely known as a professional network, so simply having a company page can boost your trust and help others learn more about your business. \nHow to set up a LinkedIn company page\nNow that you know why LinkedIn is a good idea, let’s get started on creating an account. \nStep 1: Sign up for LinkedIn\nIf you don’t already have a LinkedIn account, you will need to create one. In order to create a company page, you must create a personal LinkedIn account from which to manage your page. \nGo to \nLinkedin.com\n and click “Join now” to sign up for an account. If you already have an account, sign in and proceed to step 2 to create your company page. \n(Image)\n\nStep 2: Create your company page on LinkedIn\nWhen you get logged in to LinkedIn, navigate to the top menu bar and click the “Work” dropdown menu next to your profile picture. \nFrom there, go to the bottom of the new window and click “Create a Company Page.”\n(Image)\n\nYou’ll then be given the option to select the type of page you wish to create. \nThe options include:\nSmall business (for fewer than 200 employees)\nMedium to large business (for more than 200 employees)\nShowcase page (a sub-page for an existing business page)\nEducation institution (for schools and universities)\nSelect the appropriate page for your business–for most of you, this will be the “small business” option. \n(Image)\n\nNext, you need to add all of your company information. This includes:\nBusiness name (make sure this is the same name you use across all of your company’s online listings)\nA unique URL (you can put your company name here if it’s available)\nBusiness website\nYour industry\nCompany size\nCompany type\nCompany logo (for profile photo)\nTagline\nWhen you have filled out all of your information and added a photo, click “Create page.”\n(Image)\n\nStep 3: Complete your profile\nNow that your company page is created, there are a few things you can do to really round out your LinkedIn profile. \nFirst, add a cover photo. A picture of your location or something that represents your business well should go here. \n(Image)\n\nNext, let’s add a little more information about your company. Click the pencil icon below your cover photo to edit your business info. \n(Image)\n\nIn the next window that pops up, you can first update “Page info.” This is your profile picture, the name of your company and a tagline. You would have entered all of these when creating the page, but if you want to switch anything up, you can do that here. \n(Image)\n\nThen move down to “Buttons.” This allows you to add a custom button to the header of your company page. Click the toggle from “Off” to “On,” select a button name, and enter the URL that you want your button to go to. \nThis could be a contact page on your website, a careers page, or whatever you feel is relevant for the goals of your LinkedIn account. Click “Save” and move to the “About” section. \n(Image)\n\n(Image)\n\nUnder “Overview,” you can and should enter a description of your company to help others know what you do. Add your website too if you haven’t done this already and enter your business phone number. \nYou’ll see that your industry, company size, and company type are all filled in from when you created the page. Now you can add the year your company was founded and up to 20 specialties–these can be unique services you offer and the qualities that your company exudes. \n(Image)\n\n(Image)\n\nOn to locations. This is where you can add your address to help potential employees and customers find your business easier. \nClick “Add a location” and then fill in the fields for your address. \n(Image)\n\n(Image)\n\nNext, add community hashtags to your profile. This will help you see when others are posting about your interests, industry, and brand. Stay in the know by adding relevant hashtags and sharing the content you find with your community. \n(Image)\n\nFinally, add featured groups to your page to show your followers what groups you are involved with and/or interested in. This can say a lot about your company and will help convey the right messages to your connections. \n(Image)\n\nNow your profile is complete! The only thing that’s left it to start posting. Read on to learn more about how you can utilize posts and other features to help grow your business. \nHow to use LinkedIn to grow your business\nLinkedIn has some pretty cool features that your business should definitely take advantage of. We’ve listed a few to help you get started on improving your LinkedIn profile and growing your business. \n1. Content suggestions\nWhen you are on your LinkedIn company page, there’s an option near the top that says “Content Suggestions.” This feature is great for when you aren’t quite sure what to post or share on your page. \n(Image)\n\nClick this and then add filters based on industry, location, and employee level to find the kind of content you’d like to share. Click “View content suggestions,” and LinkedIn will generate a list of content that others have already posted. \nBrowse through this list and share the content that speaks to you and your business. \n2. Job postings\nYou can create job listings from your company page, and LinkedIn will help put your post in front of the most qualified candidates. \nThis feature is not free, but it is so helpful for finding the best job applicants. You need to pay a small daily fee in order to put your job post in front of candidates on LinkedIn. LinkedIn will provide a recommended daily budget based on the type of job you post. The average job post budget ranges from $10-$30 per day. \n3. Analytics and activity reporting\nLinkedIn shows your page’s analytics and the actions that people have taken on your page. With analytics, you can see how many page views, unique visitors, and followers you’ve had and filter these by dates and demographics. \nThe activity reporting will tell you how people have engaged with your company profile and content. If they’ve mentioned your brand, shared or reacted to your content, or commented on your posts, you’ll be notified of it. \nThese reports can help you to know what you’re doing right and where you can make improvements with your page. 

How to create a LinkedIn business account

If you run a local business, you may view marketing as a problematic, nebulous, expensive, “necessary evil.”\nOr you may not see the need for a marketing plan at all, relying instead on “word of mouth” or foot traffic to bring customers to your business. (More on that later.)\nRegardless of your views, it’s a good bet that if you’re reading this article, you want to know the best ways to stretch your marketing dollar. Well, you’re in the right place.\nHow much should a small business spend on marketing?\nFirst of all, let’s clarify just how big that small business marketing dollar should be. \nMost experts' recommendation is that small businesses spend 7-8% of gross revenue on marketing, which corresponds to guidance from the U.S. Small Business Administration. \nThat may sound like a lot, but consider that larger businesses on average spend about 13% of their gross revenue on marketing, and a study by Duke University and Deloitte found that many businesses spend up to 50%! Yikes.\nIf this all sounds overwhelming, don’t worry. While you really should have a marketing budget, small businesses don’t have to spend nearly as much as big companies, and spending more doesn’t necessarily produce better results. \nIf you’re careful and smart, even a modest marketing budget will produce significant returns. (You can even see substantial improvements without spending ANY money! Keep reading for the secret.)\nOwn your online presence and you will attract more customers\nSome of the most effective small business marketing tools are not only affordable, they’re positively cheap. How cheap are we talking? Well, how does FREE strike you?\nBut before you spend ANY money on advertising, you first need to optimize your online presence—your business’s digital reputation—and all this costs you is your time. If you don’t start here, any advertising dollars you spend will just send your potential customers to someone else.\nWhy? Because, although “word of mouth” is still the #1 way customers find local businesses, that conversation has now moved online to review sites like Yelp, Facebook, Google My Business, and TripAdvisor. And 88% of consumers trust recommendations from these sites as much as personal recommendations from friends or family!\nSo, imagine you spend $1,000 per month on advertising but you haven’t first claimed your business profile on all the popular review sites and taken control of your online presence.\nWhat’s the first thing people do when they hear of a local business they’re interested in patronizing? You guessed it… they search online for reviews, location, hours of operation, etc. \nSo if you start spending advertising money without first optimizing your online presence, you’re promoting a business that either (a) people can’t research online because you don’t have a solid digital footprint, or (b) has a poor review rating and/or inaccurate information on these critical sites. In either case, you’re wasting your money.\n\n84% of consumers search online for local businesses. Make sure your business’s digital footprint is ready!\nSo start by claiming your business’s profiles on all the top review sites and start responding (politely) to all reviews. Responding to reviews shows you take customer feedback seriously and are committed to providing a top-quality experience. Plus, research shows that businesses that claim their listings on multiple online business reviews sites make 58% more money!\nPro tip: we’ve written helpful articles about \nhow to claim your business listing on TripAdvisor\n, \nhow to claim your business on Yelp\n, \nhow to claim your Google My Business listing\n, and how to respond to \nonline reviews\n.\nBiggest bang for your small business marketing buck? Email marketing\nOnce you’ve taken the vital step of claiming your business profile on all relevant review sites and have started to engage your customers by responding to reviews, you’re ready to start marketing to current and potential customers to drive new and repeat business.\nAs we’ve written previously, \nemail marketing\n is hands-down the most powerful, effective, and efficient small business marketing tool. 86% of customers actually want promotional emails from businesses they patronize.\nHow good is the return on investment (ROI) for email marketing? Somewhere between 36:1 and 44:1, depending on whom you ask. That means that for every $1 spent on email marketing, it brings in between $36 and $44. There is simply nothing else in the marketing toolbag that has anywhere close to that ROI.\nWith all the buzz about Instagram this, Facebook that, and Google the other, the concept of email marketing might seem positively archaic. But there are several advantages to email marketing that aren’t shared by its younger social-media cousins:\nEmail isn’t limited to one platform. Social networks come and go, and are dependent upon one company. Email, on the other hand, can be accessed and used via any one of thousands of email clients.\nEmail is nearly universal and dwarfs the largest social media companies. Facebook boasts 2.2 billion users, and over 500 million tweets are sent on Twitter per day. That sounds impressive until you learn that there are over 3.8 billion email users. Want to take a guess at how many emails are sent per day? \n281 billion.\nGetting started in email marketing\nTo get the full monty on the tips and how-tos for getting started, be sure to read our detailed post on \nemail marketing\n, but the TL;DR version is 1. Be consistent, and schedule time to compose an email weekly; 2. Provide real value and focus on the story, not the click; 3. Triple-check your formatting, links, and layout to make sure everything works (and find a good proofreader); and 4. Don’t send generic, bulk emails and consider automating the process. \nIf this all seems like too much, commit to this one vital practice: send a thank you email after a customer purchases at your store. The value of this practice can not be underestimated. \nSources:\n

Small business marketing: What’s the biggest bang for your buck?

In this article:\nDIY websites for small businesses\nWordPress\nSquarespace\nWix\nShopify\nSmartly Done Websites\nYour website should be an online extension of your business, so you don’t want to skimp out and you definitely want it to look professional. But sometimes you just need something to get you started that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. \nWe’ve seen tons of small business websites all across the board, from highly custom sites that cost thousands of dollars to free websites built by some of our customers themselves. There are solid website options for any budget that you are looking to start with, and we’ll outline some of our favorite DIY budget websites for small businesses here. \nWordPress.org\nWordPress.org (\ndifferent from WordPress.com\n) can be a great website builder to start with. And we might be a little biased because we use WordPress, but it has some great capabilities for any business! \nFrom a DIY standpoint, if all you need is to add information about your company in the form of pages and blog posts, WordPress can really take you far. \nThe cost of using WordPress is super manageable. All you need to pay to get your website up and running for the world to see is web hosting (at $7.99 per month) and for a domain name (at $14 per year). If you want a premium theme that someone designed, there may be additional costs associated there as well, but beyond that, you’re looking at a pretty good deal.\nEven better, if you choose to pay for your WordPress site through BlueHost, you can get your domain name for free and only pay $3.95 per month for web hosting. That’s a steal!\nPart of the advantage of using WordPress for your website is that it’s an open source platform where anyone can create modifications for others to use. This means that developers al over have created plugins and themes that can help you to modify your website to your specifications. \nGet started at \nWordPress.org\n. \nA note of caution: Not all WordPress plugins play friendly together, especially as new updates come out for your WordPress software. Sometimes plugins that aren’t compatible can cause weird design effects or security vulnerabilities on your website. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t use it, just that you should do your research to maintain your site well or consult a developer when adding multiple plugins to your website. \nSquarespace\nSquarespace is a really powerful all-in-one website manager for those of you who want to build your own website and do it for a relatively low cost. \nThey have tons of unique templates to choose from with customization options to really make your site stand out from your competitors. \nSquarespace has four basic pricing plans: Personal, Business (their most popular), Basic Commerce, and Advanced Commerce. \nEach of Squarespace’s plans comes with the following features:\nFree custom domain\nSSL security\nUnlimited storage\nSEO features\nTemplates for every type of website need\nOptions for multiple contributors (the Personal plan only allows two contributors, but all others are unlimited)\nMobile responsive websites\n24/7 customer support\nBasic website metrics\nHere’s a little more information on each of their individual plans. \nPersonal \nThis plan starts at $12 per month when you pay annually, or $16 per month if you choose to pay month to month.  \nBusiness\nThis plan starts at $18 per month when you pay annually and is $26 per month if you choose to pay monthly. If you choose to use this plan for eCommerce transactions, there will be a 3% transaction fee required. \nBasic Commerce\nThis plan starts at $26 per month when you pay annually and is $30 per month if you pay monthly. On this plan and the Advanced Commerce plan, there is no fee associated with transactions. \nAdvanced Commerce\nThis plan starts at $40 per month paid annually or $46 per month when paid monthly. The difference between this plan and the Basic Commerce plan is that with Advanced Commerce you have capabilities to sell gift cards, advanced shipping calculations, sell subscriptions, offer advanced discounts, and a few more advanced features. \nEach of Squarespace’s business plans comes with a free professional email box on G-suite with the option to purchase more. \nGet started with \nSquarespace here\n!\nWix\nWix can be a completely free option if you don’t need any additional features like your own domain and you don’t mind their ads on your site. But, for a professional business website, we recommend at least getting their basic plan to have your site on your own domain and remove those ads. \nWix has four premium plans that you can choose from:\n Combo at $13 per month\n Unlimited at $17 per month\n Pro at $22 per month\n VIP at $39 per month\nBasically, with each additional pricing tier, you gain more support, analytics capabilities, storage, ad vouchers, and some other add-ons. \nSimilar to Squarespace, Wix has tons of beautiful pre-made templates that you can choose to start from. And then you can customize each site to match your unique brand and style. \nGet started with \nWix\n today. \nShopify\nShopify is a platform that was built specifically for online sales. Whether you have a brick and mortar location or not, Shopify is perfect if you plan to sell any products online. \nIf you are starting a new business, their basic plan at $29/month will be the best solution. This includes the following features:\nOnline store (with a full eCommerce website and blog)\nUnlimited products\n2 staff accounts\n24/7 Shopify support\nSales channels (through social media and online marketplaces)\nManual order creation\nDiscount codes\nPOS apps and integrations\nAnd more!\nOnce you have an account set up with Shopify, you can start adding your products, customize the look of your site, and really set it up to be your own. \nThere are \nfees associated with transactions\n for every plan on Shopify which could be one downside to the platform, but you can’t beat the ease of setting up your products and website. \nGet started with \nShopify\n now. \nWhat to do next\nOnce your small business is all set with a new, professional-looking website, that’s just the start. There’s a lot that you can, and should, do to help improve your business’s online visibility so you can continue to grow your business. \nThere are several \nfree local SEO tips\n that we have outlined in some of our articles. One of those tips is managing your online reputation by gaining new online reviews and managing your online business profiles. 

5 best DIY websites for small businesses on a budget

25 free local advertising ideas for small businesses

More than ever before, Google reviews are vital to local businesses, even super-small, one-person shops, freelancers, contractors, solopreneurs, and more. This should come as no surprise, particularly considering how smartphones have become the go-to personal guide to local shopping. A Google study revealed just how important search has become for local businesses:\n4 in 5 consumers use search engines to find local information\n50% of consumers who conducted a local search on their smartphone visited a store within 1 day\n18% of local searches on a smartphone lead to a purchase within 1 day\n56% of on the go searches have local intent\nEvery day, potential customers use Google with the express intent to spend money with a local business. And every day, the vast majority of those customers look to Google reviews to tell them what they want to know about your business.\nThere’s little question that getting reviews matters for local businesses. According to one study, 90% of customers say their buying decisions are influenced by reviews, and 94% will use a business with a rating of at least 4 stars.\nBut according to that same study, 85% of consumers say that reviews older than 3 months aren’t relevant, and 70% say a review must have been left within 1 month to impact their decision.\nIn other words, you should never be done getting Google reviews for your business.\nHow to get Google reviews\nAs a business owner, it’s important for you to approach getting Google reviews as an ongoing process. We’ll share some tips that have helped many businesses get more Google reviews, but there’s no easy shortcut or secret trick to increasing your number of reviews or overall rating. Think of it like building and maintaining a good reputation back in the days before the internet. Word of mouth may have moved online, but the fundamentals haven’t really changed.\n1) Claim your Google My Business listings\nClaiming your Google my Business listing is crucial in managing your local business online. If you haven’t claimed your listing, you should do it right away. This allows you to manage your business’s information in Google Search and Google Maps, and enables you to respond to reviews. Plus, research shows that businesses that claim their listings on multiple online business reviews sites make 58% more money! Learn \nhow to claim your Google my Business listing\n.\n2) Ask your customers to review your business\nIt might sound obvious or overly simple, but the most effective way to get more reviews for your business is to ask for them. 7 in 10 customers will leave a review if asked. Here are some of the most effective ways to ask customers to review your business: \nPut up “Rate us on Google” signage\nPutting up small signs or stickers that simply say, “Rate us on Google” is an effective way to passively encourage reviews from customers who might not otherwise think to do so.\nAsk customers while they’re in your place of business\nThis is particularly effective in businesses where you have a lot of personal interaction with a customer. Make sure to avoid being overly aggressive or pushy, and \nnever\n ask for a specific star rating. Be casual, welcoming, and simple. “Thanks so much for your business today. If you get a chance, I’d love it if you’d review us on Google.”\n3) Create a direct link for customers to write Google reviews of your business\nGoogle has made it easy to make a link that will take your customers straight to reviewing your business with one click. This is especially helpful if you collect customer email addresses or maintain an active social media presence. That way your happy customers can review your business on Google with one simple click. \nLearn how to create a link for customers to write \nGoogle reviews\n.\nReply to all your Google reviews to build trust\nResponding to reviews is a great way to engage with your customers and show curious customers that you are a business who cares. In fact, studies have shown that businesses who responded to reviews saw an increase both in total number of reviews and average rating.\nRead our guide on \nhow to respond to reviews\n.\nCan I buy Google reviews?\nAbsolutely not. There are companies who make promises and offers to sell positive reviews and quickly grow your rating, but you should avoid them like the plague. These practices aren’t only dangerous and unethical, but also violate \nGoogle’s review policies\n.\nOther review solicitation practices you should avoid include:\nOffering discounts or gifts in exchange for positive reviews\nAsking customers to leave a 5-star review\nThreatening unhappy customers who might leave a bad review\nPut simply, Google wants to make sure all your reviews are genuine, open, and honest. Asking happy customers to leave an honest review of their experience is not only an acceptable practice, but an encouraged one. Trying to coerce a customer to leaving a positive review is not.\nSources:\n
