October 17, 2007 by Tom Lindstrom · 12 Comments 

Here is 11 for success that you can use to tell people that you have products or services to sell.Your income depends on how successfully you manage to market your site.

1. Personalize your business cards with a company logo and include your email address and website URL on the front of the card.

2. If you sell a product, carry several samples with you. Attach a business card to the front. You´ll be prepared the next time someone asks you “What do you do for a living?”. Hand them a sample along with your contact information so they know how to get more.

3.Collect email addresses from everyone.Contact information can be as good as money in the bank.

4. Start a monthly newsletter filled with updates and special promotions for your products and services. Snail mail it and email it out to every address in your data base.

5. Learn to write good copy. If you don´t have time to educate yourself, hire an exceptional copy writer to assist you. Good copy makes all the difference between booming business and lost sales.

6.Request testimonials form experts in your line of work, then use them to promote your business.Ask for testimonials from your current customers as well.

7.Publish your business in every available marketing directory in your area.

8. Word of mouth can make or break a business. Talk up your business when in public and enlist friends and family members to do the same.

9. If you don´t have one already, get a blog. Keep it low key, professional, easy to navigate and full of quality content. Don´t overuse graphics and flashy plug ins that slow down the time it takes for your page to load. Spend some time creating a catchy headline or slogan for your business. Now would be the time to use the copy writer again. List your web site with directories like Google ,Yahoo and Inktomi. Make sure you read the webmaster´s guidelines and ensure that your website conforms to the search engines terms of service.

10. Get the word out about your business online by joining discussion forums related to your area of business. Post links back to your website and exchange links with other businesses that compliment your service. Avoid associating your site with fly-by-night or shady businesses. Only allow your links to be posted on high quality, reputable sites. Only post links on your site to businesses or websites that you have researched thoroughly. This can improve your page ranking and help you move up on the search engine results page.

11.Procure advertising space in your local newspaper “above the fold”. Check into hiring a professional speaker to read a specially prepares script advertising your business (once again, consult that excellent copy writer) and have your new radio commercial played during prime listening times. If you can only afford a few minutes of radio time, it is still a good investment.

  1. Hey Tom, those are some great tips. I especially
    agree with 3, 8 and 9. You do need your own site,
    you definitely need your own autoresponder, and
    you definitely need to have a product/service that
    you can market.
