Ever wondered how your competitors generate six and seven figures incomes? As a professional in your field or niche, you face many challenges when marketing and promoting yourself to achieve six and seven figure incomes.
As we’ve helped more and more professionals grow their business through traditional and Internet marketing and social media, I’ve found several underutilized ways to entice the world to sit up and pay attention to my clients and their offerings. Here are five ways you may not have considered when looking to expand and grow your business:
· Create and submit press releases (not many people regularly promote themselves through the press)
· Drill down your niche into a market that ONLY you can fulfill (create a uniqueness about your product or service)
· Create eBooks, whitepapers, and audio/video products to sell online and off
· Create a Joint Venture opportunity – find someone else who could benefit from a partnership in marketing to each other’s lists, and splitting the costs of print and Internet materials
· Speak or write articles to your target audience and capture their contact info through giveaways to expand your marketing list
Adding one or more of these options to your marketing efforts over time will help you to increase exposure to your products and services. These options provide a great opportunity for word-of-mouth and referrals, the most cost-effective ways to grow your business to that six or seven figure goal.
So what ‘outside-the-box’ marketing options have you tried lately? Please share your challenges and ideas by leaving a comment below.
