This is an excellent strategy! This is because the internet makes it simple for clients to find your company. Unfortunately, there is a lot of competition on the internet. With so many Google ranking elements, meeting all of the criteria to obtain the top search results might be tough. Increasing your online traffic is one of the finest and easiest strategies to boost your digital presence. Your revenues will increase as well as your search engine ranking. Increase your website traffic with these 7 simple strategies if you need it right away. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Make use of social media Website marketing and social media go hand in hand. Encourage your social media followers to visit your website if you’re looking to enhance overall website traffic or advertise a landing page. Use an image for better results. If you’re introducing a limited-edition product, for example, include a photograph of the product along with a description and a link to the product’s website. Social networking is also a wonderful way to promote your blog, post-sales, and other traffic-building strategies. Make an announcement Advertising is still an effective technique in the current digital era, where organic search results rank. When you spend advertising funds on a search keyword, your results will display first in search results. Advertising allows you to reach out to clients you might not have otherwise. Advertising that display on other websites, video ads that appear on YouTube and Facebook videos, and social network ads are all options. It is, nonetheless, beneficial to have a marketing strategy and budget in place. Advertising can be costly, and without a strategy, you won’t get any returns. Come up with catchy blog and product titles People will click on your website because of the headline and title. Take, for example, blog writing. Although 80% of people will view your title, only 20% of those who do will read the rest of the article. What factors go into creating the most effective headline? There is no magic recipe. The best course of action is to compose several and then choose the one that appeals to you the most. It’s also critical that your headline contains a lot of keywords. Find a keyword with high search traffic, low competition, and low difficulty using several keyword tools. Vary the Content Every month, it seems like a new study emerges claiming that alternative content lengths perform better. To be honest, most websites profit from a variety. To brief product explanations, publish long-form blogs. What makes this so effective? You want to attract a variety of visitors to your website. Some people want to learn more before making a purchase, while others just want to get to the product page. Other types of content should be included as well. Infographics, video, and even statistics from your sector are excellent examples. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/webtraffic.jpg” alt=”website traffic” title_text=”webtraffic” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Use Keywords with a Long Tail While single-word keywords continue to rank, long-tail keywords are the most effective. A phrase or a sentence is an example of this. Instead of utilising the phrase “headline,” try employing a long-tail keyword like “examples of catchy headlines.” Why are long-tail keywords preferable to single-word ones? There are two primary reasons for this: Long-tail keywords have low competition but high traffic, and most users search phrases or sentences, especially with the rise of voice search. Long Tail keywords are an excellent approach to speed up the SEO process for a new or developing website. Growing firms may create reputation with Google and enhance their search presence for a long time by pursuing low-competition, high-value keywords. Use On-Page SEO techniques On-page SEO refers to anything you do on your website to improve its search engine rankings. In all of your material, use high-ranking keywords. Make sure your website’s design is up to date and that it loads quickly. Other considerations should be made for any content. For any content, this includes adding a meta title, description, and meta tags. Include alternative text for images. Use both internal and external hyperlinks. Make Use of Guest Blogging Providing other blogs with your links so they can externally link to your site is one of the ways your blog can rank on Google. When Google crawls that blog and discovers your URL, it recognises you as an influential website, and your material will be ranked higher. Additionally, you can make your blog a guest blog. Because you’ve included external links in your blog, Google will have a better understanding of your niche and how to rank your site among others. It’s now or never to get instant website traffic! It isn’t impossible to get instant website traffic. All it takes is a few marketing strategies, a little expertise, and a lot of effort. If all else fails, you can outsource your marketing to a company that can take your website to the next level by archiving your domain’s webpage. Do you require additional business advice?

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] What is the difference between digital and conventional marketing, and which one should you use? The age-old question on every marketer’s mind is how to choose the correct marketing type. Everything you need to know is right here. What is digital marketing? Put simply, digital marketing is using digital channels such as websites and social media as tools for marketing communication. If you’re using social media you will be well versed in the adverts that pop up in your stream—that’s digital marketing. Traditional marketing was pretty much the only sort of marketing available until the internet was developed in the 1990s. What is traditional marketing? Up until the development of the internet in the 1990’s, traditional marketing was pretty much the only type of marketing. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Digital marketing vs. traditional marketing: what’s the difference? The method through which a marketing message reaches an audience is the primary difference between digital and conventional marketing. Digital marketing, on the other hand, employs digital media such as social media and websites instead of conventional media like magazines and newspapers. Of course, just because something is traditional does not mean it is outdated. With the ever-increasing desire to leave the digital world, traditional marketing continues to play a vital role in people’s lives. Digital marketing, on the other hand, is equally as crucial as traditional marketing, if not more so. To contact you, digital marketing exploits every touch point of your regular internet usage. Using the internet for several hours each day is a common occurrence in most people’s lives. Digital marketing takes advantage of this by incorporating marketing messaging into every digital channel. Traditional marketing: pros and cons Traditional marketing is sometimes devalued by marketers as a result of the rise of social media. Traditional marketing, on the other hand, continues to play an important role in the lives of consumers. Your money could be well spent if you have the budget to advertise your campaigns in magazines and on prime time television. Traditional marketing has become increasingly disregarded as social media has grown in popularity. Traditional marketing, on the other hand, continues to play a significant role in the lives of consumers. Your money could be well spent if you have the budget to promote your campaigns in magazines and on prime time television. Traditional marketing channels include: Outdoor (Billboards, bus/taxi wraps, posters etc) Broadcasting (TV, Radio etc) Print (Magazines, newspapers etc) Direct Mail (catalogues etc) Telemarketing (Phone, text message) Window display and signs [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Pros Insightful and simple to comprehend: A visually attractive billboard or a compelling television commercial is a common occurrence in most people’s daily life. They’re simple to understand and frequently funny. Printed marketing materials have a longer shelf life. If you place an advertisement in The New York Times, it will remain in the magazine until it is recycled. Which is fantastic if the customer is a serious collector. More enduring Seeing something in person rather than on your phone increases the likelihood of remembering it. The excitement of new Super Bowl advertising or a stunning and outstanding window display is more likely to stick with you than an instagram ad that you’ll probably scroll through in seconds. Cons: Campaigns are more difficult to evaluate. Traditional marketing campaigns can be measured with brand trackers, but they aren’t nearly as in-depth or clever as the tools available for digital marketing. Frequently costly If you’re a new brand, you probably don’t have the budget for a four-page spread in Vogue. Traditional marketing will set you back a significant amount of money. There is no direct contact with the customer. You’re more or less in the dark regarding your audience’s reaction to your marketing efforts, unlike social media marketing.

Every day, Americans spend an average of 6 hours and 42 minutes online. By 2021, mobile is expected to account for 73 percent of all ecommerce sales.” [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/shutterstock_162861527.jpg” alt=”marketing” title_text=”shutterstock_162861527″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] That’s a staggering amount of time and potential for some strategic internet marketing. Check out Vistaprint’s Digital Marketing Guide for Small Businesses for advice on starting an effective digital marketing strategy. Digital marketing channels include: Social media (Facebook, Instagram etc) Website Content marketing Affiliate marketing Inbound marketing Email marketing PPC (pay per click SEM (Search engine marketing) Pros: More engagement options You can directly see what your audience thinks of your brand and marketing activities through platforms like social media. You know you’re doing something well if your marketing is being shared, appreciated, and receiving a lot of favourable feedback. It’s simple to track the success of your efforts. In contrast to traditional marketing, the details of digital marketing tracking are quite detailed. This makes your lessons for your future round of marketing activities crystal clear. Allows for more precise targeting. If you have the resources to target a 29-year-old female writer who likes Lizzo and Guinness, then you must be able to develop properly targeted material. Cons: Ads on the internet can be irritating Consider the following scenario: you’re scrolling through your Facebook homepage, eager to see what your old school buddies are up to these days. Then you get the dreaded sponsored ad for an embarrassing disease you googled the night before. It’ll almost certainly make you despise the brand that’s doing the clever targeting. Less long-term Digital marketing campaigns such as Google AdWords, banner ads, promotional emails, and social media ads can be transitory and ineffective. They’re intangible and easy to overlook. Your ad will be gone from your target audience’s screen if they keep scrolling or click

E-invoices, often known as electronic invoicing, is a GST-compliant electronic authentication technique. All B2B and export invoices generated by a business must be registered with the government system, the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), and each invoice must be assigned a unique identification number called an Invoice Reference Number (IRN). In addition to IRN, the IRP will create a digitally signed QR code with selected invoice details and digitally sign the invoice data that is provided. As a result, an e-invoice is a document that contains an IRN and a digitally signed QR code printed on it. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] After an IRN has been generated and an invoice has been authenticated, the details of the invoice must be made available on the GST and EWB portals.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Based on AATO (Aggregate Annual Turnover): E-Invoice has been gradually introduced in the country, based on the companies’ aggregate annual turnover. On October 1, 2020, the first phase went live for companies with a turnover of more than Rs.500 crore. On January 1, 2021, the second phase went live for enterprises with a turnover of more than Rs.100CR. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] On the basis of the fiscal year: AATO in any preceding Financial Year from 2017-18 onwards must be evaluated to determine the applicability of the E-Invoicing obligation, according to Not. No. 13/2020, as amended by Not. No. 70/2020 and Not. No. 88/2020. The AATO is calculated based on GST returns. On the E-Invoice Portal, the GST System has also made it possible to examine the applicability.

E-Invoices cannot be generated by recipients or transporters. On behalf of the sellers on their platforms, e-commerce operators can generate e-invoices. E-Invoicing is something that E-commerce operators should be aware of. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Who doesn’t need to create E-Invoices? According to GST notification No. 13/2020-Central Tax dated March 21, 2020, the following individuals are exempt from issuing e-invoices: Company that provides insurance. A financial institution. Financial establishment. NBFCs. GTA. Passenger transportation service provider. Admission to the screening of cinematograph films in multiplex screens is provided by a service provider. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] What kind of documents must be reported to the GST system as part of the E-Invoicing process? The following papers must be reported to the e-invoice system by the taxpayers. Supplier’s invoice. Supplier’s Credit Note Supplier’s Debit Note [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] As a result, E-Invoicing does not require the reporting of Bills of Supply and Delivery Challan/Job Work Challan.

The taxpayer’s system generates an invoice, which is subsequently transmitted to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) for approval. The invoice data is updated with IRPs digital signature and a QR Code, as well as the Invoice Registration Number, once it has been authorised (IRN). An E-Invoice is what this is called. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] What should an e-invoice receiver look for? The extra-information relating to invoice reference number will now be included in the e-invoices received from suppliers (to whom the mandate applies) (IRN). As a result, recipients of e-invoices must be aware of the mandate’s applicability to their vendor list. Not only that, but the receivers must also know ahead of time the documents they will get. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] What influence will e-invoicing have on the procurement cycle? As a recipient of standard e-invoices, the accounting systems can now automate the recording of purchase invoices, resulting in increased efficiency and accuracy of data in source systems. Furthermore, because IRN is unique to each invoice, it might be useful for identifying similar invoices and hence for reconciliation. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Under the new e-invoicing system, all business to business (B2B) invoices will get electronically authenticated by GSTN.

Read MoreHow to Improve Website Speed – 5 Best Tips
[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 5 Areas of Focus for a Website Speed [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”]Nowadays, website speed is everything and knowing how to speed up a slow site is worth the struggle. If you’ve put a lot of time and effort into creating, researching, drafting, and perfecting your website analysis, don’t let it be slow! You want visitors to explore your site and make it easy to navigate, right? Well, website speed plays a huge role! However, improving website speed can be frustrating because there are a lot of moving pieces. On top of that, when you don’t know what else to do to fix it, it can get downright depressing. Onward! [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 1. Website Hosting The first thing to do is check to make sure that you have a web host. Not sure if you have one or not? Well, web hosting isn’t free, and it’s usually a separate fee vs. your annual domain renewal. Side note: you can utilize web hosts to buy and renew your domain names—no need to have separate services. Web hosts also offer additional security features, easy-to-use plugins, varying server options, customer support when your website is down, and more! Two popular web hosts are Bluehost and GreenGeeks. Ever hear of them? With a little research and knowing what to look for, you should be able to find a great deal. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 2. Cache Memory Cache memory is one of the fastest types of auxiliary memory out here! Why does that matter? Well, it’s super beneficial when it comes to loading a website. Using cache to load your site can decrease loading times up to 300%, which is huge and can also save you on bandwidth! Many small business owners overlook cache memory for apparent reasons. All jokes aside, if you need to fix cache memory, you’ll either need to code a bit, possibly adjust some things in your site’s Cpanel, or do it with a plugin. How do you access the Cpanel? Well, if you don’t have a host, then you…can’t? [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 3. Image Optimization If you’re a first-time reader, you’ve probably noticed that we mention image optimization quite a bit, and for a good reason! Images have the potential to take up A LOT of data on your site before they are optimized. Why does that matter? They can slow down your website significantly and, well, unnecessarily if you don’t optimize them! For example, having to load images that use up 500kb (P.S. pictures taken with mobile devices can easily exceed 2.5MB!) of data slow things down independently. Also, having multiple images on a single page adds to lag. So what can you do? Well, manually resizing images can take a while, depending on how many you have to do. The better option is to use a plugin like Smush Image Compression and Optimization. It simplifies everything and can save you a lot of time! [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/4a5235_ecafb6f0589645629fe82c4ba19521f4_mv2.jpg” alt=”website speed” title_text=”4a5235_ecafb6f0589645629fe82c4ba19521f4_mv2″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 4. Content Delivery Network Using Content Delivery Networks (also known as CDNs) are becoming super popular (and extremely necessary) for any website! If you sell online, offer tons of content that anyone can use, have a brick-and-mortar company, or even entirely remote, you need a CDN! Why? Because you want to deliver content to viewers at a consistent speed, no matter where they live. And they also help with SEO. How so? They improve website speed, which is an SEO factor! So how do CDNs work? In general, a CDN service has multiple servers distributed throughout the world. Those servers then communicate with your web host to keep the site’s content up-to-date. Then when someone visits your site (no matter where they live), your site loads quicker because it pulls the data from the nearest CDN server. In other words, without the help of a CDN, your site’s load time could increase. If you’re looking for a CDN that has been highly rated by small businesses, check out StackPath! (They also have a user-friendly dashboard and their customer service is awesome.) [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 5. Optimize JavaScript, CSS, and HTML Many people lack experience with programming, even if they have a website. And guess what? Lots of those sites do just fine! Nowadays, we have tons of testing tools to help us with coding. No longer are the days where you have to memorize dictionary-size amounts of code and then frantically type it all out before you forget. That’s not how it works anyway! Except for maybe in…Hollywood? Here are a couple of options: Manually go through all of your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files and remove unnecessary characters (such as line breaks and white space.) Combine files to lower the number of server requests. (NOT recommended if you aren’t familiar with programming since it could break your site.) Enable minification on your CDN! It might take a little time for your CDN to cache the data (depends on your web host’s servers). However, it’s way easier and A LOT less time-consuming than the manual route. If you don’t have a CDN, use plugins or add-ons within your content management system (WordPress, etc.). If this is the case, you can use WP Fastest Cache or Autoptimize to help minify (remove unnecessary data) from your code. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Final Thoughts Your site’s speed is essential when it comes to website optimization, SEO, and online success. The key to keep in mind is always to provide a good user-experience when optimizing. Side note: You don’t have to use all of these techniques to make your website run faster. However, the most significant improvements will most likely come from cache, image optimization, and using a CDN.

Read More10 best invoicing practices to maintain a steady cash flow during the COVID-19 crisis
[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/10-Best-practices-to-maintain-a-steady-cash-flow-during-COVID-19.png” alt=”invoicing practices to maintain steady cash flow” title_text=”10-Best-practices-to-maintain-a-steady-cash-flow-during-COVID-19″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] We’re all witnessing the effect that COVID-19 is having on businesses throughout the world. As CX expert Shep Hyken remarked: “In difficult times, it is more important than ever to maintain or boost the customer experience.” While standing up for customers is definitely a priority, it’s equally important to have a positive cash flow and ensure you don’t run low on reserves. Here are a few best invoicing practices that can help you maintain a balance: [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Best Invoicing Practices [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 1. Communicate clearly and candidly with your customers Customers might have to make tough choices during these uncertain times, and they may have questions regarding cancellation and refund policies or your Business Continuity Process (BCP). A clear communication strategy can not only address those ambiguities but can also build trust with your customers. If you offer a self-service portal where your customers can log in and view their transactions, you can display information about these policies there. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 2. Be approachable If you are sending out automatic payment reminders but your customers are having problems paying, they need a way to contact you quickly and discuss their options. Make sure you include all your contact information in the reminder emails that you’re sending. This extends to cancellations as well—if a customer decides to call you before canceling the service, it’s a chance to figure out a solution so you don’t lose their business. Make sure you take advantage of these opportunities! [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Zoho-Invoice-a-one-stop-solution-to-all-your-invoicing-requirements.png” alt=”How can I convert an estimate into an invoice?” title_text=”Zoho Invoice – a one-stop solution to all your invoicing requirements” url=”https://go.zoho.com/KwD” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”https://go.zoho.com/KwD” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Access Free Invoicing Software” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#0C71C3″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”22px” button_use_icon=”off” filter_saturate=”74%” button_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_style=”preset3″][/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 3. Relax deadlines Your customers’ priority at this moment will be keeping their family and loved ones safe. So your estimates might be accepted a little later than usual, and your invoice payments may come in a little later too. Instead of bombarding customers with multiple reminder emails, consider relaxing these deadlines for a little while. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 4. Allow partial payments for invoices As a business owner, your goal is (and should be!) to get every invoice 100% paid on time, every time. However, in times like this, if your customers are willing to make partial payments rather than a bulk single payment, allowing them to do so helps improve your cash flow. And so it is one of the invoicing practices. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 5. Invoice factoring Factoring invoices is an option that businesses can use to meet their immediate cash needs. The businesses get paid a reduced amount upfront by the factoring companies, who in turn collect payments from customers when they are due. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 6. Offer credits and discounts By offering discounts for your outstanding invoices, you are proving that you care enough about your customers to give them a bit of a break. Alternatively, you can offer credits to be applied on their next subscription renewal. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Make-payment-collection-a-breeze-with-Zoho-Invoice.png” alt=”How can I convert an estimate into an invoice?” title_text=”Make payment collection a breeze with Zoho Invoice” url=”https://go.zoho.com/HzZ%20https://go.zoho.com/KwD” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”https://go.zoho.com/KwD” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Access Free Invoicing Software” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#0C71C3″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”22px” button_use_icon=”off” filter_saturate=”74%” button_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_style=”preset3″][/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 7. Pause, don’t cancel With worldwide travel restrictions and shutdowns in place, businesses have already started slowing down. It’s only natural for your customers to cancel some of their services. To keep them from churning permanently, provide an option to pause the subscription for a while, instead of canceling it altogether. Alternatively, you can extend the next subscription renewal date by a month or two without charging the customers. Think carefully before offering this, though, because not all businesses can afford to continue offering services free of charge. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 8. Write off invoices in special cases Even after you offer a discount or extend the deadline for payment, if a customer is severely impacted by this pandemic and won’t be able to pay you back any time soon, you can try to collect partial payments and write off the remaining invoice amount. Writing off an invoice is the last resort. To ensure you don’t write off too large a portion of your receivables, it’s good to regularly monitor your bad debt incurred during this period. And so it is the on of the best invoicing practices. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://go.zoho.com/KwD” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Access Free Invoicing Software” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#0C71C3″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”22px” button_use_icon=”off” filter_saturate=”74%” button_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_style=”preset3″][/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 9. Increase credit limits for loyal customers If a customer has been with you for a long time and is sticking with you during this period, an increased credit limit is a good way to thank them for their business. By increasing their credit limit, you are letting them know that you continue to want their business. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 10. Know why your customers leave If your customers choose to cancel their subscription, you should definitely ask them if they’d like to give a reason. This information can not only help you understand your customer trends, but also reduce your churn. Depending on the reason they enter, you can have your customer support or retention team give them a call and try to win them back. Though some of these tips might have a negative effect on your finances temporarily, they can gain you long-term benefits like customer loyalty and customer retention, which will help your business recover more easily. And hence helpful for invoicing practices.

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Why it is important to Improve Website loading Speed? Page loading time is obviously an important part of any website’s user experience. And many times we’ll let it slide to accommodate better aesthetic design, new nifty functionality or to add more content to web pages. Page loading speed is a measurement of how fast the content on your page loads. Page speed can be described in either “page load time” , No matter how you measure it, a faster page speed is better. Many people have found that faster pages both rank and convert better. Well, according to statistics, half of us don’t even wait two seconds for website content to pop up! Where its effects? Website speed is the first impression you ever make for customers, readers, and website visitors which makes an instant judgement about you and your website. If your website loads fast, you’ve instantly made a strong first impression. It’s a quick-win for user experience! If it loads fast, your new visitor is immediately happy. Gomez.com recently did a study which suggested that over half of internet users expect a website to load within 2 seconds. Any longer than that, and they may start tapping their watch, getting frustrated, and preparing to click away from your site to see if one of your competitors offers an e-commerce experience with a better page load performance. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/how-to-fix-a-slow-website.jpg” alt=”website loading speed” title_text=”how-to-fix-a-slow-website” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] How Its helps in SEO? Google has indicated site speed (and as a result, page speed) is one of the signals used by its algorithm to rank pages. (https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2010/04/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html). A slow page speed means that search engines can crawl fewer pages using their allocated crawl budget, and this could negatively affect your indexation. Google’s latest research shows that the chance of a bounce increases 32% when the page load time goes from 1s to 3s. 1s to 5s increases the chance to 90% and if your site takes up to 10s to load, the chance of a bounce increases to 123%. That’s incredible. For search engines, better results and performance is a sign of a healthy site that pleases customers and therefore should be rewarded with a higher ranking. How to improve website page speed through image compression Steps to Decrease Loading speed: Decrease HTTP Requests: By decreasing HTTP Request means decrease in css and js files, less use of queries in loading time, the less number of images used the faster web pages loads. These all combines together and hit server for each resource so, lesser the resource hits make faster the page load. Merging CSS/JS Files:Rather than forcing the browser to retrieve multiple CSS or Javascript files to load, try combining your CSS files into one larger file (same for JS). While this can be challenging if your stylesheets and scripts vary from page to page, managing to merge them will ultimately help your load times in the long run. Use queries to only load what’s needed:If you find that you only need to load certain images on desktop or need to run a specific script on mobile only, using conditional statements to load them can be a great way to increase speed. This way, you aren’t forcing the browser to load a variety of scripts or images that won’t be useful for certain devices or view ports. Reduce the number of images you use:If you find some of your pages are fairly image-heavy, try removing some, especially if their file sizes are big. This may not only help reduce image HTTP requests but may improve your UX by removing distracting images that don’t correspond to your written content. CSS Sprites:When applicable, combining images you use fairly often across your website into one sprite sheet and accessing the images using CSS background-image and background-position prevents your browser from constantly trying to retrieve several images every time certain pages on your site load. This way, the browser only retrieves the one that you can use multiple times on the page by properly positioning the right image into view for each area of the page. Compress Images & Optimize Files: Be sure that your images are no larger than they need to be, that they are in the right file format (PNGs are generally better for graphics with fewer than 16 colors while JPEGs are generally better for photographs) and that they are compressed for the web. Use CSS sprites to create a template for images that you use frequently on your site like buttons and icons. CSS sprites combine your images into one large image that loads all at once (which means fewer HTTP requests) and then display only the sections that you want to show. This means that you are saving load time by not making users wait for multiple images to load. When it comes to what file extensions you should use for what, use this as a basic formula: SVG is suitable for vector images you want to receive a high amount of detail in. Certain icons can utilize font libraries such as Font Awesome to render certain graphics rather than saving out individual images. PNG should be used for images you need transparent background behind, such as a circular image of a person or Facebook’s ‘F’ logo. JPG is best for photographs or anything where fine detail is less important. While images will still take up the majority of your HTTP requests, optimizing them and your other assets will ultimately keep the sizes of them down and increase your website’s overall performance. Leverage browser caching: Browsers cache a lot of information (stylesheets, images, JavaScript files, and more) so that when a visitor comes back to your site, the browser doesn’t have to reload the entire page. e. Then set your “expires” header for how long you want that information to be cached. In many cases, unless your site design changes frequently, a

Visitors have less patience. Generally, if a website takes more than 2 seconds, it will start losing visitors. 2. Faster websites also perform better in Google search engine. 3. User’s experience is improved significantly with a faster website. 4. Conversion rates skyrocket thanks to a faster website. If you are still not convinced, let’s take a look at numbers. If your website loads more than 3 seconds, 40% of the visitors will leave. Not only that, almost half of the visitors expect the site to load under 2 seconds. What’s next? Even 79% of shoppers don’t like a slow eCommerce website, and they are likely to share their experience with their friends. In short, it is important to make your website as fast as possible. If you are starting as a blogger, you also need to understand that speed is as important as the content you post. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Tips to Optimize CSS to Improve Website Loading Speed CSS is not a programming language. It is style sheet language, or we can say it is a markup language. So, how do you optimize it? Let’s get started. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 1. Remove unnecessary code CSS code can be written in many ways. This means you can perform the same desired result by writing it differently. Also, many developers write CSS code twice for an element. This can lead to a cluster. The best way to solve it to use a tool that detects unnecessary code. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 2. Image Sprites Images play an important role on a webpage. For developers, it is just impossible to ignore images. However, they can be optimized, thanks to image sprites. Image sprites is a simple technique by which images are mashed up into one file, eventually reducing your CSS file size. In return, your page load time also decreases considerably. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 3. Minify CSS Minification is a process of CSS code. It is a very effective technique used in web development. By using this technique, you can compress CSS code. It deletes all the unnecessary white space. You can find tons of CSS minification tool online. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Let’s take a look at an example. #lione {font-size: 2em;color: steelblue;} #first {font-size: 1em;color: red;} #linext {font-size: 2em;color: black;} #next {font-size: 1em;color: orange;} #lithird {font-size: 2em;color: blue;} #third {font-size: 1em;color: pink;} #lilast {font-size: 2em;color: brown;} #one {font-size: 1em;color: green;} That’s an unminified CSS code. Let’s minify it with the tool that we have provided. #lione{font-size:2em;color:#4682b4}#first{font-size:1em;color:red}#linext{font-size:2em;color:#000}#next{font-size:1em;color:orange}#lithird{font-size:2em;color:#00f}#third{font-size:1em;color:pink}#lilast{font-size:2em;color:brown}#one{font-size:1em;color:green} Look’s unreadable, right? But, it does its work. Also, the code can also be minified using the other tools. So, there is nothing to worry. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 4. Optimize CSS Performance Whenever a page loads, HTTP requests go to the server. So, if your website makes a CSS request, it will send another HTTP request. This means that there will be multiple CSS requests to the server, slowing the website considerably. The solution is to combine all the separate CSS files into one file and then server it to the user. This will make the website download at once and will stop the browser sending multiple requests to the server. Even though, it has been fixed with the new and improved HTTP/2, combining CSS into one file can improve your website loading time. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 5. Load CSS and JavaScript after everything else loads One of the best ways to improve site speed is to put both CSS and JavaScript at the bottom of your HTML page. This will make both of them load at the last moment when a user requests a website. By then, the website will load above the fold ensuring fast loading time. The user will be able to see the page load fast, and not leave it. Technically, the page is still loading, but that will not interfere with the user experience until and unless the visitor scrolls down fast. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 6. Keep it Simple Stupid The last point that we want to discuss is KISS. KISS technique dictates that you should always try for simplicity rather than complexity. The end goal is to write CSS that is easy to read, non-repetitive, error-free, and is well organized. All of these points will ensure that your CSS code is optimized from the start. Also, if you feel, rewriting the CSS code, you can always do it as it will surely optimize it. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”171.8px”] What else you can do? Improving your website loading require optimization at various level. This means that you need to do a lot more than just optimizing your CSS code. You also need to optimize the other code in your website. Also, you can CDN to improve loading time further. Caching is also a great option and should be enabled from the start. Speed optimization is an ongoing process. It starts from the time you start developing your website. Even when you upload an image to your website, you need to make sure that the image is optimized correctly. One poorly optimized image can make your site slow by a significant margin.
