As always things are changing rapidly online. Today over half of Facebook users are accessing the site with their cell phones. Smaller but rapidly growing percentages of people are trying to find your web page or blog the same way.
Imagine what they will see on that tiny cell phone screen, a small portion of your site that they would need to scroll left and right and up and down. No. they wouldn’t bother. They would just go on to your competitor’s mobile ready site instead.
Now if you have set yourself up on Google Places Pages as we have recommended in the past, you will at least have one site where your key information will show. That’s a step forward. But as much as I like Google Places, it’s not the same as your web site or blog.
That’s why I was pleased to discover two new tools recently released that promise to make the job of converting your sites so that they are mobile ready.
One is for web sites, the other is a plug in for blogs. The good news is that they are priced extremely cheaply for a personal license you can use to convert as many of your own sites as you choose. When I consider that I would charge a minimum of $300 to do this for any of my business clients, this do it yourself system is a real steal.
If you are doing main street marketing as I am, you will want to pick up the added license and make a killing helping other businesses get their site set up properly.
Make no mistake about it. Smart Phones and Tablets sales are going through the roof. Mobile is here today. And most main street businesses are still oblivious to the changes that are happening around them. Help yourself out, and if your are up for it share the skill and tool with others.
