How To Market With Sense
I always start my posts with, "its been my experience" because its the truth, my
experience can't be your experience, they may be similar but never the same.
You're probably wondering how do you market with sense right? The title should
read, stop marketing like you have no sense. Below are a few bullet points that
may help you and as usual, take what you need and file the rest away in your
brain.
. Time management: Manage your time or it will manage you.
. Blogging: Go to You Tube and learn how to create a Wordpress blog.
. Consolidation: Consolidate all you can in Social Media, I prefer Onlywire, its
affordable, powerful and saves me a ton of time. http://onlywire.com
. Work Load: Don't kill yourself by working backwards, refer to the 1st. point.
. Groups: Join an active group in your niche or business and get involved, don't
be a wallflower, there's no future in it.
. Don't Kill The Messenger: If someone is trying to give you some advice and your
tissue paper feelings get hurt, man or woman up and listen. Always business never
personal.
. Mentorship: Try to find a good mentor, a good mentor is simply someone who's
been there and done that and can guide you to a certain point. I didn't say find
someone who you expect to hold your hand forever.
. Become A Leader: Its alright to copy and paste canned content from your business
every now and then, heck I do it but for God's sake think of something original
and personal to write about like your WHY. Not your pets, your meals, your health,
your politics or your faith.
. Marketing Budget: I strongly suggest you go to PayPal and stop all those
automatic payments going out to that junk you're not even using. one of the keys
to managing your business is Managing your budget.
. Mobile Marketing: Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 2 years
you'll have noticed that Mobile Marketing is about to take over in a big way. Get
a Mobile site and QR code for your service or business. If you're looking for a
great service just ask me and I'll hook you up with my people. A Mobile site with
a QR code and FREE hosting for a year for only $5.
In closing I just wanted to say that I've just scratched the surface of Marketing
smart. I am by no stretch of the imagination trying to say that I'm all that or
some kind of Guru, my bank account will attest to that. Who am I? Its simple, I'M
YOU.
