Make sure to brand your name and business. This is the most important thing you can do for your business. You can easily do this by just writing articles and submitting them to e-zines, web sites, press-release sites, local newspapers for publishing or republishing. It's also better to include your picture where it's possible.
Find a strategic business partner/s. You need to find ones who share the same objective as you. You can trade leads, share marketing info, sell package deals, and more. This will work both online as well as offline.
Have you taken notice of successful business or people that directly compete with you? Study the aspects that make them successful then model your business after them. You should practice some of the same habits that have made them succeed even though it does not mean that you should out right copy them.
To brainstorm, take a little time out of your day or week. New ideas usually play a role between success and failure.
Take risks to improve your business. Sometimes businesses don't want to advertise unless it's free. In order for you to get results, you usually have to spend money.
Emotional words should be included in your advertisements. For powerful and hypnotic effect, use words such as love, security, relief, freedom, happy, satisfaction, fun, discover, and so on.
Don't forget to ask people to review your website. You may either turn the reviewer into a customer or you can use the comments you get to improve your website.
Don't forget to combine a product and a service together in a package deal. It could increase your sales. If a book is what you are selling, then offer an hour of consulting with it.
Make sure to offer a product on the back-end. Suggest a complimentary product or products after the product is sold. On the thank you page online, this can be accomplished. While at offline, "would you like fries with your meal" is used all the time.
On your website, you need to start an auction. When it comes to the type of auction, it can be related to the theme of your site. Drawing traffic from auctioneers and bidders is what you will be able to do.
Ok, time to roll up the sleeves and put one or more of these strategies to work for you. They won't start working for you unless you start working them first. You might as well make it happen today.
