3 Tips for Networking at Live Events

So I thought I would give you my best 3 tips for networking at live events like the one I just attended: 1. Move around and be social. Move from… Read More »3 Tips for Networking at Live Events

If It’s Not Working, Change It

We often talk about the importance of measuring results in our business. This can come in many forms – maybe you want to measure how many people are visiting your website, or joining your Facebook page, or opening your newsletter – or signing on as clients. Whatever the case may be, when you have something that has a measurable result, make sure you measure it. If it’s not working, change it. Many small business owners go through the process of setting up a program – or even their website freebie – and then just leave it at that. In order to make sure that you are relevant and interesting to your audience, it’s important to measure your results regularly to… Read More »If It’s Not Working, Change It

Marketing Tips for your Virtual Business

Do you find yourself so busy working IN your business that your own marketing efforts get shuffled off to the side? If so, you are not alone.
