Yahoo Ping Box
I founs this the other day while looking at other call center websites and its really cool. This is like a online chat program that you can place on your website that is connected to your yahoo YM. Best of all it’s free.
Setting a Philippines call center up
I have been finding allot of sites that you pay for there information like ebooks and other resources on setting up a call center and running it. The information looks good and I’m sure it would help but at first you are going to need to get clients which is going to be the hardest part when operating a call center, setting one up is very easy, if you are at home just need good internet, computer, hosted dialer and a headset. I do not suggest at home but if you are a one band then thats all you can do, if anything get to internet conections and a load balancing software, going to cost you a little bit more money but at least you will have the back up.
When you are trying to get clients here is the best way to go around doing it.
1. website, set up a word press with Host Rocket about 6 dollars a month but one of the best hosting companies I have used. Make some small like my Philippines call center website and make sure you blog about once a day about call center related stuff. I missed one important which is picking your domain, make sure you think about this and that it is call center related like www.callcenterphilippinesblog.com see the keyword in there call center Philippines? This will help you start getting traffic right way. Also buy domain for 8 years if you can.
2. Template buy this well worth it, 67 dollars and easy to set up ultimate blogging theme also he will show you about setting the website up a little.
3. Pick your keywords realted to what you are look for like Call center Philippines I would pick ten of them and place in word press.
4. Read this and follow what it says SEO check list
5. If you have the money you can do adwords but it can be costly.
There is just a quick way to get a call center website going for about 150 dollars.
If any one needs some more help shot me a email.
In order for this to work by doing it buy your self you are going to have to read allot and research.
Word Press Website, Template, Content, SEO For Your Call Center Philippines Site
I just wanted to let all the new call centers out there that don’t have allot of money to set up a website that Word Press is great, it’s very easy to use and to set up with most hosting companies.
Right now I have 4 sites that are all set up on Word Press, most of them are blogs but you could set up a real call center website and mange it with out having to be a programmer. You are going to need some one to do so small design for you but you can use this website to get it down real cheap Webmaster forum you are going to have to post about 40 times before you can place an add for design but it’s well worth it to get some thing done for really cheap but still be good. Next you are going to need a host that sites up word press for you with out having any major problems, I would suggest using Simple Helix
it’s 20 dollars a month for 10 websites but the support is the best I have seen and well worth it also.
Then you are going to have to read a bit about how Word Press works and play with it while you are setting it up. These is allot of templates out there for free but I would really suggest using Ultimate Blogging Theme by Carl Cab the 13 year old blogger that is now 16 yaaaaaa, I have been using it for about 2 months and it has be every easy to set up and use. Cost about 100 dollars to buy this template but again and again well worth it.
One of the most important things is content on your website and not only content to get you on the search engines but content that people find interesting and that they want to read. I see allot of blogs or companies that wire writers to blog about keywords which is what I have also done but at the end of the day if you are on a budget best to write it your self and really put your feelings in what you are writing about.
Well there is my little bit of help to the starting call centers out there that are looking to set up a website for cheap to get started on getting clients but what is going to really get you clients is optimizing your website for the keywords that you are looking for like call center Philippines or Philippines call center. It is going to take time to do this and learn how Google works and how to get on the front page, if you are not on the front page you are not shit.
For Seo I suggest you using the SEO check list Follow this and in time you will be on the front page of google with the keywords that you want.
On another note for starting go after small keywords some thing like 3 to 4 words and work your way down from there.
Google is all the matters all over search engines don’t mean any thing.
Chat On Your Call Center Philippines Website
Chat is over rated, we have used it about a year ago and just set it up again in hope that we would get more sales but nothing else changed other then we have a pop up on our site asking if they would like to talk to some one but guess what no one ever clicks it asking to talk to some one!
If you are thinking about placing chat on your website to help boost your sales its not going to work.
The master said the same thing.
Flash Websites
never ever ever create a flash website!
It will never get you on the search engines.
You can have the best flash website in the world for your call center but it will not do anything unless you hand out your business card to some one.
International Numbers On Your Website
I have had some people ask me about having International numbers on there website, like have number from the major countries phone numbers on your website.
We have add them on our website for about a year and for the most part we really never get calls on them and each number cost around 10 dollars a month so I would really not suggest it, just have an American 800 number and a local Philippines number most people will just call them.
