Quick Tip: Don’t Forget to Advertise and Market
So I was reading Entrepreneur’s Magazine, and they had a section entitled “Wrong Turns” which listed 3 “wrong turns” or traps that new entrepreneurs can fall into. The last “wrong turn” they said to avoid was “ignoring marketing and distribution.”
I cannot stress to you enough how important this is.
The Field of Dreams(great movie), motto of “if you build it, they will come” definitely does not apply to websites, e-businesses, blogs, or any type of business for that matter. You need to get out there and you need to promote your work, whether it be on forums, on other sites, word of mouth, posting up fliers, etc. You can even have stickers made and vandalize your town with them (joking).
But bottom line is you need to communicate with your market, that you are in the market! So go out there and spread the word about your new business or blog! Do not fall into the trap of sitting and waiting, make it happen!
Check out Entrepreneur’s Magazine, a great source of information each month! I read it a lot.
