5. SALE
Tip #1
Discounting your service or
product is not always an
incentive for someone to
hire you or buy your
product.
so stop having sales.

6. • I use to run a sale 2-5 times a year
and I found that more people purchased
when I didn’t have a sale than when I
did!
• Cutting prices hurts others in your
industry, making it less lucrative for
everyone else including you!

7. Tip #2
Step away from your computer and
network offline

8. attending 1
networking event
a month helped
me to build my
online network
faster than
constantly trying
to do it strictly
online.

9. Makes sense right?
People like to connect a
physical face to a product
or service.

10. Tip #3
Cut loose the ties!

11. Stop doing whatever seems
counterproductive and not
profitable, but be sure to
analyze your mistakes.

12. What do I mean?
I use to LOVE creating fabric
jewelry pieces, BUT it didn’t sell! So
I stopped.
Before I stopped I looked at the web analytics
behind the online presence of the collection.

13. Tip #4
Tell your story, people want
to hear it!

14. I got great advice from
Hamilton Brown
(Senior
Marketing Director, Taco
Bell) at Blogalicious
and
that was customers love
transparency, they
want to connect a story
to your brand, so tell it!

15. Tip #5
A Facebook fan page is NOT a
replacement for an actual website.
You need BOTH!

16. You see how often Facebook
changes their look and
algorithm right?

17. A Facebook page is secondary to
your website. You need a web
presence…end of story.
