How To Prevent Your Small Business From Losing 35% Or More Of It’s Profitably!

Does this make sense to you, your cash strapped small business and or service, is consistently losing, or at worst, under utilizing at least 35% or more of its full earning capacity?

Hopefully, no profit driven entity would purposely sabotage their businesses long term earning capacity, right?

You would think, but inadvertently, many do! (Myself included!). As you are about to discover.

But just to be clear, no one sets out to purposely suppress their business and or services capacity to grow, it’s just, during the course of running and fine tuning your on or offline business/service, you often get so caught up in to running and micro managing the day to day activities, sometimes the important minor details, constantly slip past you.

And once you add up all of those little minor situations, it sort of turns into a really big deal! As you are about to discover.

Who Else Wants To Know How To Prevent Your Cash Starved Small Business And Or Service From Consistently Losing 35% Or More Of Its Long Term Earning Capacity!

Here’s a really simple, (and sadly) all too common occurrence in an offline supplier business. A local company has two primary locations, and one secondary location,and two of it’s primary executives, have their main (administrative) headquarters in one location, and their actual warehouse in another location somewhere else across town.

Which means, practically every business day and or every other day, they have to drive across town, (in that really cool leased car! ) just to view what’s going on in the warehouse.

And as if, that’s not bad enough, they also lease an entirely different commercial space, where they actually manufacture their product, then have it driven (at least twice a week) to their main warehouse, before they actually ship it out to their local customers.

You can see how these various, yet (not so minor) costs quickly add up, correct? Another all too common occurrence you see among retailers, they sell a product like pre- made pies, which takes up an astonishing 40% of their available retail merchandising floor space, yet they only have a 15% gross profit margin.(Or less!)

While they have some incredibly popular home made pies, cookies and or gourmet pastries etc, (with massive) production capabilities, and a staggering 37% gross profit margin, only being given 15% of their available merchandising floor space!You see the recurring problems here, right? Now watch how this (exact same), all too common scenario typically plays out online.

Being An Entrepreneur Definitely Means You Gotta Stay On Top Of Things And Know What’s Going On At All Times!

Here’s a personal example, where (sadly) a staggering 35% of my current blogging efforts, simply weren’t working as hard for my business, as they are capable of doing.

Let me give you a concrete example, to help you crystallize the situation. Currently, I have 1,592 (total) blog post, (and counting), but only 1,108 of my blog posts are actually considered, satisfactorily (on page) SEO (Search Engine Optimized), according to the free Yoast plugin I’m currently using.(Please see the two screen shots below for further clarification.)

Can Your Small Business Afford Under Performing Assets?

See how (35%), of my 1,592 blog posts, are currently under performing? (If they’re currently performing in a meaningful way at all!)Those 397 posts, may as well not exist, because without a (so called) focused keyword, all the major search engines like Google, have no idea which keywords the posts are trying to rank for.Ouch!

And truth told, as I’m busily going about re-examining the on page SEO elements of all my past and future posts, to see how they might be better optimized.

I’m discovering several careless mistakes, like not adding my focused keyword to my (posts) title tag section, nor did I bother to add my blog posts title to my Facebook tag section, nor did I bother adding my posts descriptions in other sections!

Careless oversights on my part for sure! Thank goodness these semi minor infractions are definitely not oversights which can’t be fixed!

I’ll just need to correct so many each day, until I wade through them all. But hopefully you get the overall point, which is, your cash starved, and resource challenged small business and or service, can ill afford, to consistently lose 35% or more, of it’s long term potential profitability, correct?

Because if these pages/blog posts fail to rank organically (free), and your current opt in email list, and or your various social media followings is relatively small, and not necessarily responsive, then blogging on your own blog alone, may not be nearly enough marketing leverage, to help get your posts consistently ranked on the 1st or 2nd pages of the major search engines.Right?

And who can afford to have 35% of their businesses readily available assets, constantly under performing!Now as is customary during this part of our show.
