10 Simple Ways to Promote Yourself

1) Develop a mailing list and use it. Most businesses
have started creating web based mailing lists by
offering a newsletter, but direct mail is still a
valuable tool. Whichever route you choose, choose
one!

2) Say "Thank you" when someone purchases your products
or your services. Send a handwritten "thank you note".
In this fast paced world of ours it's refreshing to
people to receive an "old fashioned" thank you and
they'll remember you next time they need some work
done above all others.

3) Flier & Brochures- No matter what anyone tells you
even if you're an online business you still need to
attract people to your website offline as well. Fliers
and brochures peak curiosity and will help get those
offline potential customers to click over to your
website for more information.

4) Car Advertising- The big companies all advertise on
their cars, and you should too. URL plates or stickers
are a small investment to make which can carry your
message to thousands while driving.

5) Hold a Contest- Contests are a great tool for
recognition and free publicity. You can send a press
release announcing the event to the media for
possible press coverage. By nature people love
to win which is why holding a contest can be a
great traffic generator.

6) Present Seminars- By giving seminars you get to
network with a lot of people as well as establish
yourself as an expert in your


field.

7) Participate in Trade Shows- A great way to show
off your products/services to qualified people.

8) Write Short Articles- Articles are best if kept under
500 words. Keep a database of possible publishers who
might have an interest in publishing your writing.
Make a habit of submitting at least one a month. Many
newsletters are constantly on the lookout for fresh
material. Gives you credibility & visibility.

9) E-books- Writing e-books is a form of viral
marketing. When given away freely online like a
virus it can literally get passed along to
thousands of potential customers. Think of a
topic you know a lot about and get to work.
There are many e-book compilers available
online to create the book, some free, some not.

10) Specialized Directories- Everyone knows about
getting listed in the major search engines, but
what about directories? Do some research and
find specialized directories that cater to
your specific type of business and get
yourself listed in as many as possible.
