How do you begin to inexpensively advertize your business beginning day one?
NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK.
If you have taken the empowering, exciting adventure of starting your own business, letting people know that you exist can be a challenge.
The best thing to do is to network - join groups, whether online or otherwise and get your name OUT THERE!
Don't go alone--Networking is a contact sport and a team sport. Bring a colleague, friend, relative. Be a tag team. It would better if your tag team member knows at least one person at the event. You head directly to the one person you know and the the dance begins. Find out who they know and who you do not know or if they know the person you want to meet. If the person is one of the hosts of the event, then you are in luck because you can find out who is at this thing, how she knows them and then ask to be introduced. The key here is go to a hub of the event or create one by figuring out the connections of your connection! The deal you have with your tag team member is anyone who your team meets individually gets introduced to the other, and you find out who they know and the beat goes on.
