How to Ballyhoo..

We all have talents, gifts and abilities that are interesting to others and marketable. Whether its a blog written in your spare time or a product that you lovingly make.

Not everyone can afford to hire Sales Reps to peddle their wares, or the over heads of a shop front . Rotary, Toastmaster, Lodges of different sorts and sporting groups and womens auxiliries were once the social network through which connections were made and businesses were promoted. less and less do we have the time to attend traders association meetings, join clubs and community groups to promote ourselves through  and likewise, customers don't have time in which to seek you or your services out on the net. This is why a social media marketing strategy is a must for modern business. Network marketing or marketing yourself through a network has been the first step to a successful business since business began.

But how do you separate yourself from the rest of the information out there? How do you make yourself stand out so you don't become more of the whitenoise and static?

Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to combine the two. A customer has more faith in the opinions of their friends than they do in you or your product. So lets make that work for you. Lets earn their trust and let them convert their friends for you.
