Marketing Made Simple

Are you….

  • a solo-preneur?
  • willing to invest in your business?
  • looking for low-cost, simple marketing ideas?

Do you….

  • have an online business?
  • have “market my business” on your to-do list?
  • see marketing as a stumbling block to a successful business?
  • have the motivation and drive to implement new marketing ideas to grow your business?

If you answered yes to any of these questions – Marketing Made Simple is for you!

We know we need to market our business to be successful, but the fear of “marketing” often keeps us from doing it. That fear is a result of not knowing what do to, how to do it, or if we can afford it. Let’s face it – we’re not Proctor and Gamble, GE, or Pizza Hut and we don’t need to spend that kind of money on our marketing campaign. On the other hand, just because we are solo-preneurs doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t think big!

Do you have marketing on your never ending to-do list? Do you look at it every day but end up pushing it further down the list? 

Here’s the reality…if you want a successful, growing business, marketing has to be at the top of your to-do list!

We’re here to help you manage your marketing and reduce your fear. We examine the marketing process piece by piece and show you how you CAN market your business while making it fun, exciting and inexpensive in the process.

Marketing Made Simple is a bi-weekly publication delivered every other Tuesday. It contains simple, proven, and inexpensive marketing ideas that will assist you in meeting the goals you have set for yourself as well as for your business.

Every other Tuesday, you’ll get:

  • proven marketing methods and ideas. These aren’t just ideas we think will work – we know they work, because we’ve seen them work!
  • answers to your questions. If you’ve got a question about a marketing issue …email us and we’ll get your questions answered!
  • inexpensive ways to market your business because as solo-preneurs we don’t want to take on unnecessary additional expenses!

Marketing Made Simple is not for everyone. We send out relevant marketing announcements to help your business and notices of upcoming teleclasses along with weekly marketing humor. If you do not wish to receive notices of products and services beneficial to the marketing success of your business, I would not recommend subscribing to this list.

We do not spam and we limit our emails to two per week. We encourage you to subscribe and if you find that you are not receiving valuable information about marketing your business, you are welcome to unsubscribe at any time. No questions, no hassles. Period.

But before you make your decision, as a subscriber of Marketing Made Simple, here are some additional benefits you’ll receive:

  • 10 Free and Inexpensive Marketing Tips booklet
  • Honest product reviews and recommendations. If we can’t vouch for it, we won’t promote it.
  • Product discounts
  • Access to a continually updated private library containing over 60 e-Books on business and marketing
  • Contests…Who doesn’t love a contest?  We have one monthly and all you have to do to enter is remain a subscriber.
  • The chance to review products before they are released to the general public.
  • Substantial discounts on products or teleclasses that are offered.
  • Free advertising within Marketing Made Simple (some restrictions apply*).
