When Your Best Efforts Don't Work

As a business owner I network, and I talk to a lot of other business owners. I do a lot of social media exploring to find questions that business owners have, so that I can identify maybe some ways that I can help. One of the things that one of my business owner connections was talking about is that she had been putting for months upon months, a lot of money into social media. She'd been doing advertising she'd been doing all the Facebook things. She has followed all the marketing tips. In fact, she was doing Anything and everything that anybody would tell her to do. She said that she was spending all sorts of money. And there were just zero sales. Not a few sales, but really zero sales. She wasn't seeing traffic coming to her website. She just wasn't seeing anything really moving. This have been going on for a few months, and that she was so incredibly frustrated, she was ready to quit her business.

Then people began commenting on her little post. They provided some tips and encouraging information. Then someone asked for her website address, so she gave the website address. Within minutes, people started posting that some of the links to her products were not working. Some people said they were getting error messages. Other people said when they saw the product description, there was no prices listed. Another person said that they went in on their phone and everything was askew, and it's all off to the side and they couldn't really see it. Even another person mentioned that they saw descriptions with the pictures, but the descriptions didn't sound anything like the picture they were seeing.
