Thought I'd start a thread where everyone could post their best marketing tip. Here's mine.

Never have extensions put on your nails just before you want to write your newsletter. (It plays havoc with your spelling)

    Take advantage of Google SEO. Even if you have to pay someone to do your backlinks its still THE cheapest advertising avaible on the planet IMO.

          Your past customers are your biggest asset. Treat them the way an important asset should be treated.

          Ignore them, don't respond to questions and you will always trying to find the next one hit wonder.

          Give good customer service, continue to market to them and you will have customers for life.

            Keep your overall goals in mind when you start something. If it takes you away from what you really want, don't do it.

    A small list of buyers is more valuable than a big list of freebie seekers.

    To add what Brad and Keith said.

    If you quit relying on Google to do your marketing for you and you learn how to bring leads yourself you will control your business destiny.

    When you get customers treat them like gold. Because they are.

      People buy what they WANT, not what they NEED.

      So forget about what YOU THINK they NEED. Find out what THEY WANT and offer it to them.

        Bear in mind, that people in the world are bored to death. They wake in the morning with a boring spouse, drive a boring car to work, to a boring job and a boring boss. Best of all, they are able to move from one web site to another in lighting speed is the only excitement they have in life.

        Here's the kicker, in my Marketing if I can make one person happy about themselves under the circumstance that I mention above that would make my day. I could go on and on, but I won't.

        If history has taught me anything, is to be myself, and make someone smile, that would be the best Marketing tip I could give to you.

    Let's see...hmm my best marketing tip? There's been a lot of great posts so far! I would like to encourage everyone to become an EFFECTIVE action taker. My most recent product is actually focused on teaching people how to take action.

    I believe that massive action leads to massive results (and I'm sure you've heard that expression before). However, many people don't take the time to clarify or precaution that statement.

    There are actually two things that need to be said that correlate to the phrase "massive action leads to massive results."

    1) Massive negative (or wrong) action leads to massive negative results.
    2) The absence of action leads to the absence of results, and ultimately progress.

    So, it IS extremely important to become an action taker because that elicits progress. However, you need to be sure you are taking EFFECTIVE action so that your progress is running at optimal levels. (haha my product is actually called Optimal Life Blueprint)

    Anyways, I hope you all found this post useful. Thanks!!!
