Marketing
No matter what business you choose to run, whether freelancing or selling a
product, whether online or offline, you will need to actively and effectively
market your business. Otherwise, you might as well not start at all.
This is where most start ups fail and marketing is also an area that most
people are extremely uncomfortable with or even scared of.
No need for that….;-)
It’s easier than you think. You just have to learn how, and then apply
consistently.
Knowing these techniques will put you way ahead of the game and allow
you to make your goals a reality.
We already mentioned the importance of having a website and the
marketing strategy called “SEO” = “Search Engine Optimization”.
We also mentioned Youtube and Kindle Publishing as quick and highly
effective ways to attract customers and clients.
Social Media Marketing (beyond Youtube) is another very important
area. Pinterest in particular, is well suited to market products. Customers can
buy directly from Pinterest, and Shopify offers integration with Pinterest.
If you have products in beauty, fashion, arts & crafts, photography etc.,
definitely check out this amazing platform. This is a good course on how to
build a profitable Pinterest page(*).
If you choose one of the eCommerce platforms like Amazon, Shopify,
Etsy or eBay, there will be an additional set of marketing skills to learn,
specific to these platforms.
