P.P.S. Have you ever really wanted something so badly you could almost taste it, and then missed out because you simply waited too long? Remember just how disappointed and frustrated you were, thinking the whole time, “I can’t believe I missed that!”

When I was nine, my dad’s company got hold of some Boston Red Sox tickets they were going to give away to their employees. Boy, did I love them, watching them on TV as often as I could. That day, my dad said “Son, you and I are going to a Red Sox game.” I had never seen a “real” professional baseball game before and was so excited I couldn’t sleep a wink that night.

Anyway, he worked for a small company in Maine with about 40 employees.  And they only had 20 tickets to give away, first come - first serve. My dad figured since many of the other workers were women, and didn’t really like baseball anyway, he would wait ’till the next day and get the tickets at the bus, assuming there would be plenty left for us.

The next morning, we ate a good breakfast, packed the cooler, and got our Red Sox hat and shirts on, anticipating a great day. After all, it was my first trip to Boston to see a real ballgame. We even got to the bus two hours early… But there was a problem.  The bus was already filled to capacity and the tickets were all gone!

It was very quiet as we drove back home in utter disbelief.

Come to find out, the women he didn’t think were interested in going immediately called their husbands and their friends to come down and pick up tickets right then, not the next morning. You can only imagine the disappointment of a 9 year-old, and my Dad, well… he has never forgiven himself to this day.

Contrary to the popular saying, especially in marketing your business - Good things DON’T always come to those who wait! Don’t be like my dad and wait till it’s too late.  Believe me, you will never forgive yourself, he didn’t!

“There’s no free lunch.” Baloney!

Whether you’re just starting out or have a well-established business, the truth is that some of the most powerful ways to grow your business can be had for free! And these work whether you’re netting $50,000 a year business or a $10,000,000 a year business.

Here are two no-cost, high return ideas you can take to the bank:

Use Free Publicity To Increase Sales
Advertising in any medium costs a pretty penny and can quickly bleed you dry, but you can get great publicity for free. You can start by writing articles to establish yourself as an expert in your business. Then get them published where the greatest number of potential clients will read them.

Years ago, before there were good directories of articles online, I collected over 600 online editors’ email addresses and sent my articles to them on a regular basis. While this was a good idea, the next one I’m going to tell you about is even more powerful.

Collaborate to Widen Your Reach
I met Michael Angier at a marketing conference in 2000 and we discovered our target markets overlapped. We both had built lists of five to six hundred editors interested in our small business marketing and sales articles. The synergy was obvious. Michael emailed me his list. I added it to mine, culled the duplicates and sent it back to him. The result?

At the cost of a couple hours of effort, I increased the reach of my list to 900 editors, dramatically increasing the readership of my articles. At almost no cost I was getting tons of publicity.

Tired of wasting money on that gets minimal results? Discover the fastest, least expensive ways to attract all the clients you can handle. Get the details >>

Use Marketing Partnerships
Over the years my business has grown steadily, but there were points when sales jumped to new levels. In many cases the leap in sales was due to a new partnership or collaboration. These have taken time to develop and negotiate but have more than paid off in increased sales and profits.

This past fall I signed on a handful of new super affiliates who promote my products to their mega-lists. As a result, I more than doubled sales in three months with no additional advertising costs.

Of course my marketing partners earn a percentage of my sales through their lists, but each promotional partner helps my business grow.

Find Partners For Profit
How do you find small business marketing partners? Start with your clients and their needs and interests. Businesses that target the same people you serve and provide related products and services are potential marketing partners.

Unless you’re a company like Walmart that provides an enormous scope of products and services, there are going to be many companies selling a product or service to the same target market that complements what you’re marketing.

Let me give you a few examples.

You’re an athletic trainer. You could partner with someone who provides sports massage or nutrition counseling. Even weekend warriors will benefit from this combination of services. You promote each other and all of you could double your clientele at no cost.

Or if you own a web site that sells shoes, you could offer a $25 discount coupon with each sale over $75 that your customers can use on a partner site that sells socks, and vice a versa. You both generate more sales and make more money without actually spending a penny.

Or if you’re a voice coach working with aspiring executives you could partner with a leadership or sales coach. If you each provide your partner with the marketing collateral they need to promote you, your cost is minimal and you both double your marketing reach.

Each time you partner with a business that has a broad customer base, you’ll dramatically increase your sales and profits. And you’ll do so at almost no-cost.

Want to power up your marketing? For small business owners knowing what to do and how to do it is more important than having a huge budget to spend on marketing. Ready to spend less and make more? Use this link to find out how >>

3 Steps to Finding Marketing Partners

1. Identify the key characteristics of your target market. Who are they? Where are they? What do they want and need? The best marketing partners aren’t your competitors, but businesses that provide a related product or service your target market’s needs.

2. List related products and services your customers want. One goal of a marketing partnership is to make more money for both partners at minimal cost. Approach this from your customers’ point of view. Think about what they want and how your marketing partnership can meet more of their needs.

3. Make a list of potential marketing partners and then email them, call them, and explain why they should partner with you. Demonstrate the benefits for them and their customers. Send them samples. Be persistent.

There are dozens of other ways to position and expand your business, strategies that work whether you’re just starting out or you’re growing a well-established business.

Small Business Marketing That Gets Results

I often get questions about whether I have an affiliate program or associate program people can use to make money marketing my small business marketing ideas and tools. The answer of course is yes, I do have one though to be honest, I haven’t promoted it much because it didn’t have all the supporting materials I wanted it to have.

That’s changed. Over the last couple of months I’ve built a site for my affiliates to use that provides every tool you can think of to make it dirt simple to promote and market the best selling marketing books and training tools on my site. I’ve included ads, articles, sample emails, etc

Web Site Marketing That Works

This past week AT&T started blocking my email, email to my AT&T email service from my own web sites, and then I discovered AT&T along with a number of other phone companies has also started blocking access to free VOP conference call services.

I’m not sure what AT&T is up to but it would appear they are trying to make it harder for you to market your business wihout resorting to using their phone services.

Just when small business owners are starting to discover the effectiveness of using email to market their businesses it appears the phone companies are getting greedy and want to squeeze the internet for more profits.

Small Business Marketing That Gets Resutls

“I am a real estate agent from Phoenix Arizona. I have previously sent you an e-mail concerning a link exchange between our BLOGS. Please let me know if you are interested.” Brian

I’m not interested in linking to just any small business site or blog and it’s nothing personal, it’d be bad for my web site marketing for me and in this case for Brian.

Just any link from another site won’t help your search engine positioning or help your web site marketing. You need links from other relevant sites. Get a bunch of links from unrelated sites and the search engines won’t know how to rank your site. You’ll just end up confusing them and reducing your chance for a top listing.

In my case that’d be other sites about small business marketing and sales or about web site marketing. In
brian’s case it’d be sites about real estate and not just any real estate site.

Not only do you want links from other sites that have related content, you want sites from popular sites, sites that get lots of traffic. The more popular the site the link originates from, the more it’s a positive and helps your search engine positioning.

Want to know how to focus your web site marketing linking efforts?

Do a search in Google for “real estate” or whatever keywords you want to to improve your search engine positioning for.

Then check out the sites that are linking to your top competitors and get these sites to provide links to your site. Find out the details in Creating Web Sites That Sell with this link >>

Providing Small Business Marketing Solutions That Work

The small business marketing question I got today shocked me! The woman on he line confessed she’d made every wrong mistake in the book and now with a maxed out credit card was trying to figure out what to do next. While her goals were high, she wanted to become a millionaire, she had no idea where to start.

She’d just gotten off the phone with a representative of a firm that promises to help anyone become an instant success in real estate. When she told the representative her financial situation he told her to talk to her credit card company and see how much cash she could come up with towards the $10,000 cost of the sure fire get rich program.

Her question was should she take on additional debt to sign up and “Find fast wealth in any city, town, or neighborhood” ?

My immediate response was NO! And then I did what she should have done first. I went to:

Report A Ripoff.

It’s not a pretty or fast site but when I searched the name of the program in question, I found countless stories of people paying their $10,000 for real estate coaching and getting next to nothing in return.

Want to make a million with your small business? You can, with a good idea, a high level of expertise, hard work and effective markeing. If you’re looking for an oppportunity and it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true. Before you invest in it, do your own due dilegence and look through the industry relevant message boards and sites like Report A Ripoff.

“My outbound e-mails keep going to people’s junk mail folders. Any idea why?”
- Tina

Spam filters block emails for a lot of reasons. The result is, as you’ve found out, that many of your legitimate emails don’t get through but lots of spam still does. Here are three ways your email could be getting caught in spam filters.

1. Bad words, like here, now, etc.
Use to many of these and the spam filters block your email. Here’s a list of many words to avoid >>

One preventative measure to take is to check to see if any of the words in your email might trigger a spam filter and than edit accordingly, though it’s not clear that all spam filters will block your email if it uses an “offending word once or twice”.

Here’s the link to one free spam checker you can use as a guide >>

2. Use of characters or unusual spellings that the spam filters think you could be using to avoid them. For example trying to slip sales by as ’s.ales’.

3. Your mail server. Unless you’re using a service that regularly makes sure they are on the white list of approved bulk email senders, you’re email can get blocked even though it’s legitimate. Here’s the link to the email broadcast service I use >>
