10 more marketing ideas
Marketing is about using your generous nature to bring you good fortune. It’s “fortune” rather than reciprocity because you can be rewarded by someone other than the one you gave it to, sometimes just the right person with the connections you need.
Of course, the best reward of marketing is that it feels good to do the right thing…
Give Marketing Tip #1: Make a Private Phone Call
Meeting online is great. But some things are better discussed over the phone. If you have many international friends, reduce your calls with Skype, an application that allows you to make calls with a high-speed connection through your computer. All you need is a headset and your free software. For a small fee, you can even get an incoming phone number.
Give Marketing Tip #2: Give a Teleseminar
Not all Give Marketing is about giving without knowing where the reciprocity will come from. Do a free teleseminar where you discuss just a few tips as a demonstration of your knowledge, then sell a starter article. Add an affiliate program and you’ll never run out of visitors.
Give Marketing Tip #3: Give a Webinar
While you can get free service for a teleseminar of up to 100 people if you’re in the United States, most webinars with more than ten guests will cost you a little change. To overcome that, record the webinar and sell it as a starter pack to those who couldn’t attend.
Give Marketing Tip #4: Give a Video Demo
If you have a way to capture screenshots, next time you have a tip to share, try creating a video instead. Once you get the hang of the software, it can sometimes be faster and more effective than a written suggestion. Of course, some things are better left in print, so choose wisely.
Give Marketing Tip #5: Give a Screenshot
Almost every computer has an easy way to capture the screen, or you can download a free program to do it. Say it in pictures.
Give Marketing Tip #6: Give Directions
It can be in text, images, audio, video or all of the above.
Give marketing tip #7: Give your friendship away
Everyone needs help or a shoulder to lean on sometimes. Make friends. It’s online solitaire.
Give Marketing Tip #8: Say Thank You
Yes, it seems obvious, but we all forget it sometimes. By the way, thanks for reading my article. 🙂
Give Marketing Tip #9: Put Your Resources to Use
In equal parts. And you’ll probably get tons of links too.
Give Marketing Tip #10: Give an Interview or Interview Opportunity
Just because giving an interview benefits you, don’t think it’s not important to the other party as well. And if you’re the one requesting the interview, remember to be respectful of the other person’s time and be patient if something goes wrong. Just because we’re online doesn’t mean people don’t have lives, get sick, or have their own mini-disasters.
Being understanding is worth much more than being a prima donna.
Give marketing tip #11: Give content or a place to post content
There will never be too many quality resources providing or publishing content.
By now, you see how this marketing thing works. You become an indispensable resource, and your knowledge and service do the marketing for you.
