Constantly Promote Your Biz

How do one-person businesses get big?

They’re always promoting themselves–always.

PC World has put together some promotion ideas. Add your web site URL to your e-mail signature. Create a Facebook group for your business. Write a humorous blog about your product or industry (check out Chris Lindland’s Cordarounds blog for ideas).

Submit your gems to Digg, Reddit, and StumbleUpon. Comment on online stories in your field and cast yourself as an expert. Meet and greet at trade shows.

Make T-shirts, stickers, and business cards. Give away products to charity events in exchange for an ad. Hold contests for freebies and make people work for the prizes.

Above all: Don’t let anyone forget about your new enterprise.
