Ever wake up one morning to count your zillions of gold bars that you have nestled next to your coffee cup, secure in the knowledge that money was not an issue for your business at all?
Gnope, me neither.
But! If you want to market your business in a cost-conscious way, you should definitely check out:
www.entrepreneur.com/article/327097
This goodie has not 1, not 2 but 30(!) nifty tips on promoting your business on a budget, including:
2. Get involved with your community (virtually guaranteed, your local high school wants advertisers for their plays or band concerts. Buy a page!).
4. Join face-to-face networking groups (side note – socializing? In real life? Next!)
9. Go cold calling/emailing (it’s just like trick or treating and you can do it in your pajamas!)
13. Publish top-notch content (that’s like saying, don’t stop breathing. It’s kinda sorta common sense)
19. Give it away. (Dennis and I are doing to do that soon (cue foreshadowing tone))
20. Check your online listings (I read that as ‘check your online siblings’ and you know what that means, don’t you? It means… I should consider taking a nap after that display of eagle-eyed brilliance)
and more.
