There's a heap of fantastic advice here so make sure you take advantage of it, write down a summary of advice and make your plan from there.

A summary of what I can see from here is:
* figure out your goals and purpose - what you want from the business
* devise a strategy - overall view that is made up of plans - business plan, marketing plans, cashflow plan etc
* define your marketing plans - the internet marketing plan, the networking plan, the cold calling plan as these all fit into the marketing strategy.
* put consistent effort into whatever you decide to do.

All the best,
Belinda

Cold calling is the hardest and not always the most successful way to go about persona;l marketing.

Lets open the door a little first with a stunning brochure that is about you.

After all you are actually applying for a job. Research the organisation as if you want to work there.

When I went into photography we had three customers, within twelve months we were National with customers in ever state and city major department store and photographic outlets. This happened because I designed a very personal letter then followed up with a phone call the a visit.

The impossible we can do immediately, miricles take a little longer.
Hi Burgo,
can you share with us the personal hand written letter?
Love to know the way you write it and the structure and contents of the letter.
