Instructor Business Hint 6 - Have a effective Website and Leaflets
All businesses recognise that a good website is vital to promote their business. Many customers will search for a course using a mobile or tablet device, if your potential customers cannot easily navigate your site from these devices, you may be losing business. If you would like to check to see if your site is mobile friendly go to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/ and enter your website address.
Websites need to be found by the search engines and clearly provide the information your potential customer needs to contact you. There are many companies who have easy to build websites that will be mobile friendly, usually they charge you a monthly fee for the hosting of your site and most have search engine tools to help you too. Another more expensive but affordable option is to find someone to create your site for you, but amendments/ additions to your site will be chargeable. Spending time learning how to create and manage a website yourself is time well spent and will save you a lot of money in the long term.
