The people in “need” that I’m writing about today, are those lost prospects and one-time customers of yours, who are on the edge, are reluctant to return your phone calls or emails, or are looking at a PayPal screen with debit card in hand, and skepticism in their hearts.
For some, the economy is still not where it should be and every penny counts. This means he or she is only interested in spending money on what they need. Well my friends, with some creativity, oh baby you, you’ve got what they neeeee-eeed!
I’ve only been freelancing, officially, since last year. For years I have been known as the go-to gal for writing, from bosses who’d let me edit a letter or design a newsletter — in which I could only work on “when I’m not working”, to family members who needed, shall we say, assistance with their college papers.
I had always wanted to be a writer, but always needed a “job”, so I focused on working. It was safe and secure. Are you laughing, too?
As women entrepreneurs with high hopes and vision, we often start off with with an unstoppable drive and determination to make our new business work.
Many of us stay up for hours, day after day doing all we think we should do to get the business up and running and start bringing in money.
We spend time finding the best tools and services and get it in our heads that if we just work hard at getting all this online business stuff setup right, we can finally quit the day job or at last, bring home our kids who have grown accustomed to daycare.
Within us lies this deep desire to pursue our passion and live our dream!
We all want our businesses to grow and to be profitable. I know I do. But when you are one among many and a newbie among vets, getting seen and heard is more than a notion.
It is getting more and more difficult to make an impact online, particularly in industries that are saturated with tons of quality content and top notch entrepreneurs.
But it never fails – a few online marketers bust onto the scene, claiming their spots amongst the greats while establishing themselves as an authority to be reckoned with.
How do they do it? How can a novice – with no special skills or super human powers – rise to the top so quickly?
One of the most common questions I get from busy entrepreneurs – who are not only trying to build a successful business but may be working a job, balancing baby, kids and a husband all at the same time – is how do I find someone to do my social media marketing for me?
Many will agree that there are just not enough hours in the days to get everything done and as an entrepreneur building what will hopefully be a thriving business – you will one day come to the realization that “I just can’t do this alone.”

When I first began marketing online, I had already heard the phrase, “The fortune is in the follow-up”, a billion times as a Network Marketer. I can admit, following up used to be a struggle for me, even in my direct sales business because I always felt like following up, meant I would be seen as a nuisance.
Since those early days, I’ve learned (the hard way), the value in staying in touch with prospects on a regular basis. I also realized that when my way of thinking changed toward the idea of reconnecting, my income began to grow.
The changing point for me came when a customer I finally called after months…boldly asked me, “why did it take so long for you to call me?” I had no answer other than I had been making excuses.
