How can I build when my funds are limited? In my last two articles we looked at the idea of aligning yourself with a Mentor or Accountability Coach and we explored the notion of Goal Setting. Today I want to talk about Budgeting.
Being a part-time entrepreneur, like millions of others, you find yourself in a position with a limited budget. You will discover that there will always be ongoing monthly fees like hosting, autoresponders, marketing system, and an autoship, just to name a few. Some may have other expenses such as pay per click advertising, advertising in general, website maintenance and so on. I think you get my drift…..lots of money that can and will be spent routinely.
Well, I want to simply outline for you numerous ways you can build you business on a part-time basis and use proven FREE techniques and strategies to do so. In articles that are yet to be created, we will look at each of these techniques in greater detail and share with you what I know and understand to be true regarding each technique.
So, let’s generate a list and touch ever so briefly on each one: (Article Writing, Forums, Hubpages, Social Media (Facebook, Twitter), Squidoo Lens, Video Marketing, and Blogging just to name a few).
With Article writing, Squidoo Lenses and Hubpages you can talk about any given subject and post them to the internet. Once your content is live and on the internet, it is there forever!
It is like fishing….the more fishing lines you have in the water, the better your chances of success. The same goes for article writing, Squidoo and Hubpages…the more content on the internet….the more exposure. There are some authority sites which will help you in your Google ranking but I will save that for the article on article writing…smile
Forums… well Forums when I used them on a regular basis were great places to help educate yourself on the latest trends in your niche and also to keep abreast of the latest news in your chosen industry. It is also a great place to share and add value. You can position yourself as a leader if you know what you are doing.
Social Media…wow, this is a biggy. If you are not using social media then you are obviously living under a rock IN A CAVE! This is an excellent way. We will take a serious look at this one in an upcoming version of Part-time vs Full-time Entrepreneur.
Blogging has been around for some time as a means by which you journal what is taking place in your life. As of late, many entrepreneurs have taken it upon themselves to put up a blog….
More to come on that in a future article.
And lastly, video marketing which is a wonderful way for others to see, hear and get a feel for who you are and what you are all about. I will likely get a guest to discuss this topic as I am still wet behind the ears on this one!
Talk again real soon,
Cheers – Steve
