Create a digital presence
There are quite a few options today and you can check them out, ask around and choose what is most convenient and suitable for you and the content you want to present.
The main thing - that you have a digital presence and your name and that of your business, with some information about it, will appear when you search on Google.
Once you find your "place" on the net, whether it's a Facebook page, Instagram or even a landing page through an outside company or a small site on one of the appropriate platforms, upload some photos, promotions or offers you want to post about the business.
This is a successful starting point and after that it is possible to continue to improve.
Run the whole business in one place
Many business owners, especially those who work by hand, operate with manuals and manual invoices, which can easily lead to confusion, loss of data and important information and direct harm to the business.
The world has moved on - and today you can run your entire business in one place, online, easily.
In a green invoice you will find all the explanations you need, in Hebrew and you can generate invoices and reports, keep track of all your expenses and income at the click of a button, receive reminders and alerts about delayed payments or other customers and even enjoy automated operations that will save you so much time and headaches. You get used to it, you will probably want to try more and more things, but the beginning is so simple that it is a pity that you will continue to work by hand.

In Israel today there are a number of excellent sites, which help customers reach you thanks to the "wisdom of the masses", opinions given by previous customers.
Since we have no doubt that you are excellent at your job, once you sign up for sites such as Midrag (where there are already more than 7,000 professionals and a million reviews), you will see how your score attracts more and more customers and work.
Joining these sites is built in a simple way and in a short time you will be part of the growing digital community.
Get your money in the most convenient way possible
We mentioned earlier the importance of managing your business money in one place, easy, convenient and digital, but in order to have something to manage, you have to get that money, right?
With the Green Invoice service you can allow your customers to pay in the most efficient way for them, and for you: online, from Israel, abroad, by credit, on the website or PayPal - the main thing is that the payment will go without problems and delays. Or through standing order.The easier it is for a customer to deal with you, the more he will come back again and again and also tell your business to others.
Search the web for examples of things you love
Finally, do not be ashamed to ask for help.
Even if you are a little apprehensive about technology, there is sure to be someone around you who can help, one for whom everything is clear and lives this world, and at the touch of a button or two will organize for you exactly what you want, need and love.
Your mission, as a digital startup, is to simply surf the web a bit, locate the things you like and pass them on to someone who can help you with the subject.
Do not worry - the digital world is complex, but it is also great for promoting small businesses.
Just need some courage.
