10 Ways To Promote Your Business For FREE (part 1)
Hello,
Everyone who works for themselves has been there. You know that feeling when you know you need to drum up some business, if you want to do things like buy food, gas for the car, or pay for the doctors bill.
So you pick up the phone to call a potential customer, and your stomach starts to ache, your mouth goes dry, and for the life of you, you cannot remember what it is you do. You hang up the call, frustrated with yourself because you just can't talk to people about your business, much less promote it.
But what if there were other ways to tell people about your business? What if they were easier, more fun, and oh yeah FREE? Would you be interested in learning what they are? Well, grab a glass of diet coke, and read on my fellow work-at-home friend.
#1 Get Thee Online
There is absolutely no good reason for why your business is not online these days. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's true. Not being experienced in technologically, or not knowing how to design a website, are not valid reasons anymore.
A) Websites
Sign up for a FREE website, pick your template, and then write what your business does, and more importantly what it can do for the customer, and publish it to the internet. Make sure to add pictures, and links to websites containg even more valuable information on your industry.
B) Blogs
If you don't want to take the time to make a website, at least sign up for a FREE blog. Sign up, pick a template, write and publish. A blog doesn't have to be a diary, or a step by step detailed report of your business, but it can be a valuable marketing tool. Write about your upcoming sale, that new project you've been working on, or upload a picture of the last house you designed.
To be continued............
Peace!
