As small business owners, marketing ideas can often be pushed to the back of the pile as we find ourselves working hard in the business, but rarely on the business.
Or in some cases, marketing ideas abound but it’s the time and knowledge required to implement them that’s missing.
As a result, marketing questions never get answered, marketing ideas never implemented which can often lead to money being left on the table.
That’s why I’ve dedicated this episode of the Small Business Big Marketing show to answering some of the better listener questions I’ve received over the past few months. Plus I get up on my soapbox and have a rant about a few small business marketing issues that are getting on my goat.
We cover a lot of marketing ground including:
- Ways we annoy our clients.
- How to avoid missed business opportunities.
- How to build a tribe.
- Podcast interview tips.
- How to manage your SEO.
- How to write a tagline.
- How to turn features into benefits.
- Interview request fails and successes.
Thanks to all the listeners who kindly sent in these questions over the past few months.
It’s an episode jam-packed with marketing ideas for small business owners. So I strongly suggest you have a pen and paper or Evernote open and at the ready.
Oh, plus I announce a listener meet up in Melbourne on August 29 – You can view the details of the Small Business Big Marketing Meet Up here.
