How to Get a Million Online Customers for Free

Do you want a million new online customers for free? Do you know more customers can patronise your business than you currently have? Have you thought about learning how to get more customers from the internet? And I don’t mean advertising online.

I want to show you how to get a million online customer for free. If you don’t know how online customer base has grown, let me give me some statistics. More than 3.6 billion searches are conducted on Google search every day. On Facebook, you and 1.4 billion others around the world are active there every day.

And it’s not just even about the world far away. Because you are doing business in Nigeria, you might want to know how it affects your business too. Over 17 million Nigerians are on Facebook, according to African internet users report. You need to start asking the right questions about your business.

Who is a Customer?

The dictionary definition of a customer is a person who buys goods or services from a shop or business. But that is just one part of the description. Because there are five different types of customers. And each one has its specific features.

By that, we can further define customers into five different definitions. So, let’s look at the different types of customers and explain each of them based on those criteria.

Different Type of Customers

You need to understand the different types of customers that will be patronising your business. Although, these customers never cut out to be so. They are unaware that they are like that.

But it’s up to you to identify them and cater for their needs. These are the 5 sales-oriented types of customers you will be encountering.

* Potential customer – is someone who is not your customer yet.
* New customer – is someone who recently bought your product or service.
* Impulsive Customer – is someone whose buying decision is on the instant.
* Discount customer – Is someone who sees the value but won’t buy at full price.
* Loyal customer – Is someone who keeps coming back for more.

How Customer Acquisition Works

The growth of any business is defined by its customer acquisition strategy. You have to win new customers continuously into your business. One of the most important questions an entrepreneur should always ask is, am I winning new customers? Did I get a new customer today?

If you are not winning new customers your business will become stagnant and eventual closedown. Even if you have millions of old customers, you still need new customers. Because the same way you won a customer, you also lose a customer. Maybe to your competitors or due to a fault of yours.

However, the cost of customer acquisition is a significant concern. I work as a marketer for a company in the U.S., and it pays an average of $80 to acquire a customer.

A million customer will cost them $80 million. Even though the cost of their product doesn’t cover that amount. But the company has several other cross-sale products its hoping to sell to the customer. That’s their strategy. They know the value of their customer.

What’s the Value of One Customer?

If you want more customers, you have to first define these two things. Who is your customer? And what’s the value of one customer to your business? To determine the value of a customer you need to know how long a customer can continue using your product.

• Let’s use web hosting for example. The average period someone can pay for a web hosting plan is one year. If your business is hairdressing, how long have you retained a customer?

Also, you need to define how much a customer spends on your product and the frequency. If you know the value of a customer, it will help you to understand how much you can invest in acquiring a customer.

Define Your Customer Persona

Everyone is not your customer. You have to identify who are your actual customers. It’s important you know who you should market your business to. It will save you lots of effort and money.

If you haven’t thought about this, you should start by answering specific questions about your business. Like:

* What does your business sell?
* What particular problem(s) does your product solve?
* What gender(s) has such a problem?
* What is the age range?
* Where does the customer live?
* What does the customer love?
* How can you engage the customer?

By answering this questions, you have defined who is your customer and who is not. Right now, if you look around the people you know, who among them matches this description? That’s your customer among your friends. Now start doing the same among your social media friends, colleagues at work, your church members, etcetera.

The concept of a blog is marketing. You need to create your content to give help to these target customers to attract them to your business.

Even if you don’t know how to write good content, you can outsource them to great writers. Some factors should be considered when writing excellent blog content. They include:

✔️ keyword word traffic volume and relevance to the title tag.
✔️ How to do it user guide that shows your visitors how to solve specific problems relating to your company offering.

Step Five: Build a Customer Database

One of the benefits of using a blog as a marketing tool is collecting customer data. You can’t do that successful on social media. It’s the first step to knowing your customers.

If you have started collecting emails from your customers, by now, you would have accumulated over a million. If your business has been in operation for more than five years now, you should have a million customers. That’s if you have collected 600 emails every day.

Step Six: Start Now

Don’t even think you have more time to procrastinate. The time to start is now. Using a blog to market your business also requires time to grow. Google uses the first 3 to 6 months to be convinced that you mean business.

After that, you can start seeing some great results with new customers visiting your blog every day.
