What is the best way to market a small business

Jobvana’s Top 3 Free Ways to Boost your Business

1. Be an expert. Customers want people they can trust. Blog about what you know and your experiences offer helpful tips that will keep customers coming back. Put up pictures or videos of yourself and work that you’ve done nothing explains your expertise better than examples. Putting your thoughts, experience, and perspective in a blog is a way for potential customers to interview you, it bypasses the resume phase and lets people instantly know who you are, what you know and what you can do. This is often a fantastic way to market yourself.

2. Network with friends and family. We always tell people if they’re wondering where there next customer will come from, the chances are they already know them. Most people do not know what their friends do for a living even more so when it’s a side job; make sure people know. Many people you already know need the services you can offer. They are also the best source of referrals. You don’t have to be a salesman or hard sell your friends but make sure they know what you offer, chances are they know someone they can refer you to.

3. Tell Google, Yahoo and MSN that you’re important. By quickly filling out a listing on these 3 sites (Google Listings, Yahoo Listings and MSN Listings) and putting in your Jobvana Homepage URL or other website , you instantly let the major search engines know that your business is important, and they show it to more potential customers.
