You don’t have to be broke. There. I said it.
I know that’s bold, but it’s entirely true. We may have times in our lives when our companies aren’t making the money we want to see, but free marketing options are available for everyone these days. If you’re not using them and continue to lack customers – you have no one else to blame but yourself. NOT the economy.
Every single time I hear complaints about low income due to the phone not ringing, I immediately ask what the company is doing about social media. I promise you, the companies not working, are the companies who refuse to engage on social media.
If you’re experiencing dangerous slow periods:
- Chances are, your website could have better web pages written.
- Chances are, you could be blogging about your products or services.
- Chances are, you could be sharing your information on social media.
- Chances are, you could be collecting email addresses for a newsletter that would keep your company name in front of people who want to hear from you.
PLEASE HEAR ME.
Doing these things just works. If I had an hour I could explain some algorithmic reason it matters. If I had a little more time, I could convince you of the nuances and details that matter when you’ve decided to have a truly effective online campaign. Seriously, you don’t need all that information to increase your traffic right now.
If you can’t afford to do the website updates, put it on the radar for the future. You can blog, you can share on social media, and you can get your name in front of people online in as little as an hour a day. If you’re not working enough – WHY NOT?? What have you got to lose?
Your phone will ring. It just will. It’s some kind of spiritual law about diligence and communication and being able to serve others with your business. That’s a whole other matter. I don’t want to beat you over the head. Just start doing something today. Now. Let people know you want to help them.
Go on. Want another week with no calls? Use social media, it’s free. What I do costs money. If you need something immediate, work on your social media skills. I’ll teach you how for a nominal consulting fee, but you can learn it yourself without me. Don’t be afraid you’ll screw something up. Everyone starts somewhere.
