Being Self-Employed: Get Social - Get Customers!
GETTING THE WORD OUT
All business owners recognize the importance of marketing/advertising their business in order to attract customers. Phone directories, print ads, billboards and TV commercials are some of the more traditional marketing methods. For eCommerce and eBusiness owners there is a new avenue that must be considered and factored into the advertising/marketing strategy. Generally, online marketing/advertising vehicles such as banner ads, text ads, digital yellow pages and the like comes to mind. Then, too, business-to-business marketing sites are popular ways of promoting, networking and learning from other webpreneurs/business owners. Sites like Merchant Circle, AdlandPro, Black Business Space and Entrepreneur Connect all provide 'net' space for advertising, discussing and growing your online business venture. WHERE THE BUYERS ARE
However a recent study by Cone, as reported by B-to-B Magazine, states that a significantly high percentage of customers expect businesses to have an online presence via social networks! (1) So for those of us that are genuine 'artistic types' that utilize monetized blogging to generate income, it is essential to establish and maximize your presence via social networking venues. While this may not be a surprise to most seasoned bloggers, many newbies into the field should pay close attention to this trend. Further, it is reported that customers with incomes ranging into the 'high' or wealthy bracket, $75,000+, and those aged between 18-34 expect to be 'actively' marketed to! In other words, "woo me 'socially' to entice me to spend!" CREATIVE PROMOTION
Develop, research and use creative ways of promoting your monetized blog [without being penalized for duplicate article posting] with the aim of making those tools become a permanent part of social network marketing. If you want to make sales, 'follow the money!' Now's the time to revisit MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube and definitely 6dgr! Tweak your profile [or create one if you haven't done so already] and 'actively market' your monetized website to the buying generation of internet shoppers! YE is Here!
