How to scale your small business

One of the first questions you’re likely to ask once you get your small business started is how to scale it. You need to hustle and make a serious return on your investment sooner than later. Luckily we’ve got some tips that will help you do just that.

1. 1. 1. Create an inbound lead funnel.

Use landing pages, blog posts, and free high-value content to attract and convert prospects. Make sure everything you publish is either completely original or gives the reader a fresh perspective on a well known topic. Creating content this way, and by following proven content creation best practices, will also provide excellent results for your SEO long term.

1. 1. 2. Become an expert on Quora.

Quora is an excellent community that has every topic under every niche imaginable. Chances are your target audience is hiding in at least one of them! Get in the practice of regularly contributing well thought-out responses to topics your audience would be interested in. You can even include a link back to your website.

1. 1. 3. Outsource skilled labor to professionals.

Great leaders know how to delegate tasks to the right people. If you have any specialized to-do list items that can (or should) be handled by experts with the right training, be sure to give the projects to them sooner than later. The money you spend now will return to you tenfold by way of saved time, decreased frustration, and a quality finished project.
