Another problem is the investment of time. Small business owners already have a lot on their plates. Allocating more time to implement, learn, and then use new software is a big ask for many people.
In this case, I think that highlighting the eventual time-saving and effort-saving benefits would help win them over.

Definitely get more experience. And not just in IT. Running a small business will need you to take on different roles, like admin, systems development, marketing, etc. Try to get these under your belt or join forces with someone that can take on those responsibilities. (But that brings in another set of complications, so you’ll have to work out…[Read more]

Agree with your thoughts completely, Paul. I’ve been looking at Pat’s information on and off for years out of interest. He’s great at affiliate marketing, but he only covers the marketer’s side and not the provider’s side. I’m going to have to do some digging to find out more about that.
And I don’t think you can control who decides to market…[Read more]

No problem, Suze. I’ve been slow in getting back here myself, so my apologies too. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hi Sean
Sorry about the late reply. I didn’t get a notification that anyone had replied to my post.
That’s a fantastic idea! I wish I’d heard from you before I started creating the course. Anyway, I can still implement it. I’ll let you know how I go.
Cheers

When you said…
Do you Google for anything in particular or do you just look for them on the usual platforms (FB, LI, Twitter, Insta, etc.)?

I’m creating a “course in a kit” to help parents teach their 4-7-year-old children how to be happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise. The activities in the course introduce children to jobs and money. They also develop children physically, emotionally, and socially. And they foster a bond between parents and their children. They’re based on edu…[Read more]

Hi Learningman
Welcome. I’m new here too, but have found the community welcoming and helpful! Hope you find the same.
Building a business from scratch will be a hard slog. You’ll have to build up your clientele. That could take a long time (years) before you get the income you want. That’s one of the disadvantages of starting a business. There…[Read more]

Thanks, Paul. If I did that right, it took me to my dashboard. I’m guessing that used to be called the control panel.
Anyway, I managed to change my signature! I’ll get the hang of this yet.

Mario replied to the topic What is the number one reason you don't invest in marketing? in the forum Marketing mastery 1 year, 11 months ago
Marketing covers such a wide range of activities. I’d say a lot of small businesses have done some on their own without realising it. As for paying for marketing, you’d have to be clear in your head as to what aspect of marketing you want to tackle.
Broadly speaking, one kind of marketing focuses on creating and building awareness of your brand.…[Read more]

Thanks for the warm welcome, Paul.
I agree. I’m already on a few parenting sites, so will keep hunting more down.
I’m sure we’ll chat again.
By the way, I couldn’t find the control panel, so I couldn’t set my signature. Please let me know where it is.
Cheers

Hi Luminar
My wife and I were in a similar situation with our design and print business. After looking for a solution for over ten years we decided to cut our losses and wind down the business. We consulted several business and financial experts and even found a partner that thought could help us. That didn’t work. We negotiated lower terms on…[Read more]
