Any business or company needs to have an online presence. Even more so for micro & small businesses, as getting regular customers is a challenge. If you want to have a steady stream of customers, then a website is a good idea.
Is It Really Necessary to Have My Own Website?
You may say that it does not really matter whether you have a website or not, as you already have a small customer base. How will other people know that your business exists, while it runs out of your home? People might have to search for you as though they were playing a treasure hunt, going through different clues. As a small business you don’t have enough to justify setting-up a physical store with employees and the necessary government certifications and legal permissions.
How will other people know that your business exists while it runs out of your home?
Setting up your own website will place you out of your home or locality, into a bigger area where potential customers are searching for the services or products that you offer. A website can help to increase your visibility on Google and other search engines. With effective SEO, your website can be ranked higher on the search engine results page. This establishes your credibility and provides an opportunity to connect with a wider customer base.
Establishing your flag on the Internet
Having your own website can bring in customer enquiries by linking to your social media accounts. You can share the link to your website on your Facebook, LinkedIn or Instagram page. This will help you cast a wider net to reach your target audience. This is your calling card/business card!
Do I need to be Tech-savvy to run a website?
As a small business or home-based entrepreneur, you may feel that maintaining a website is too much work, or you may feel that you are not “tech-savvy enough” to set up and run a website. There is no need to be anxious about setting up a website. Whether you are tech-savvy or not, with the right assistance, you can set up a website exactly the way you want. You can design the website content, images and layout to reflect your passion and clearly portray what your product or service is.

Isn’t social media enough to market my products or services?
If you think Facebook or Instagram is the only way to market your business and get more customers, think again!
There is also a downside to relying on social media alone for your business:
Ø No real access to your customers
Ø You can get banned by AI without a way to appeal
Ø You can lose all your customers
Ø Your post will get lost within the first 2 minutes of posting it. There is also a limit to the number of posts per day.
Daily/Weekly Posting Frequency on Social Media (2026):
– Facebook: 1–2 posts per day.
– Instagram: 3–5 posts per week (plus 2 stories/day).
– X (Twitter): 3–4 posts per day.
– LinkedIn: 2–5 posts per week.
– TikTok: 2–5 posts per week.
– Pinterest: 15–25 pins per day.
– YouTube: 1 video per week
