The Truth About Electronic Marketing

One major disadvantage to Marketing Electronically as I mentioned in item three is:

You can not blatantly promote your material, your product, or your service. With conventional advertising you can go right after your potential customer with a sales letter, but, with BBS marketing you have to provide up front information in the form of a how to article and at the closing of your article you can include a resource box which invites the reader to respond to an offer that you make within it. Marketing Electronically is a hot topic especially in these days of instant gratification. There are advantages and disadvantages to any form of marketing, but lately all I hear are the advantages.

Do you remember people’s names and faces well?

Ease in remembering names and faces is very important in the business world.

In school, did you pretty much stay away from such organizations as Scouts and student government?

Most successful entrepreneurs tend to be loners rather than joiners, unless joining is a useful tactic for making contacts and gathering business information.

The Truth About Electronic Marketing

Marketing Electronically is a hot topic especially in these days of instant gratification. There are advantages and disadvantages to any form of marketing, but lately all I hear are the advantages.

The disadvantages include:

(1) You must consistently market, more than with direct response advertising or direct mail.
(2) Trying to keep your material on the boards.
(3) Your material can t be sales related.
(4) Finding out if there is an audience for your product or service involves searching the online networks to determine if it’s large enough to even bother uploading your material to.

Do you tend to trust your hunches rather than wait until you have searched Google and have a lot of information on hand?

Ease in remembering names and faces is very important in the business world.

Were you good in “hard” subjects–mathematics, biology,
engineering, accounting, and so forth–in school?

Operating Your Business

Since you are selling a service most of your revenue will go to the bottom – line and will become profit to you. Operating expenses will be relatively small for general office supplies, paper, laser printer toner, etc. Of course, you may have to finance the purchase of your equipment over a period of time. If your credit is good, financing will be relatively easy to obtain through most computer stores. Since new computer Desktop Publishing equipment is becoming outdated at an ever increasing speed it is best to buy equipment on the lower end of the price range even if your budget can stand the higher outlay of capital.

As you expand and require assistance to carry the work-load consider hiring “outside contractors” instead of employees. Look on Google, there are many individuals who have the knowledge and equipment to free-lance with Desktop Publishing. You will be saving the various benefits which are required to pay to employees and which average about 20 – 30% of salary.

Small businesses and organizations will be requesting credit extension. Your care in granting this privilege is important. Nothing is more aggravating then selling a service “your time” and not get paid. It is not at all unreasonable to request payment up front with new and small business clients. Once you have granted credit to a business or organizations set down strict rules and stick to them. In general there rarely is justification to carry any client beyond 60 days.

Do you reconcile your bank account as soon as the monthly statement comes in?

Entrepreneurs are careful about money. They continually search on Google usually know how much money they have so they can seize opportunities on short notice. They know what things cost, whether prices are going up or down, and whether they are getting a bargain.
