Monday Marketing Tips: 5 Ways to Get More Business
By
1. Article Submission
Writing articles is an easy way to boost your credibility as an expert in your field. Articles should contain a minimum of 250 words and an intriguing bio. When writing your bio, don’t necessarily start with your name. Keep with the flow of the article so the reader thinks that it’s part of it. When readers see your name, some automatically stop reading because they assume it’s the end of the article.
When your article is complete, submit it to online databases like:
EzineArticles.com
IdeaMarketers.com
ArticleDashboard.com
2. Offer Free Info Sessions and Educational Seminars
Do you have a product or service that could benefit members of your local community or Chamber of Commerce? If so, offer a free info session/educational seminar. Invite those you think could benefit directly. Keep a product on hand and offer back of the room sales once you conclude your presentation. If you have an ebook, put it onto a CD so the purchaser can take it with them that day.
3. Have a Contest
Everyone loves to enter a good contest for the chance to earn something of value. Set up your contest on your blog or within your ezine. Offer the registrant a free report or ecourse just for signing up for the contest. Post your contest in your ezine, blog, Twitter, Facebook and any social networking site you are a part of.
4. Write an Ebook
While this can sound daunting to many it can be easily achieved. Simply sit down and start writing on your area of expertise. If you have ezines with a lot of content and articles that you have written, can you expound upon them? If so, you have the beginnings of an ebook and/or informational product.
5. Offer a Teleclass/Tele-Seminar
Invite your personal list, Twitter followers, Facebook friends and your whole social networking group to join you on a teleclass to showcase your expertise, product and/or service. Provide lots of great information and a special offer at the end for the participants of the call.
