Hi ladies!

I know it has been a long time since we pow-wowed! I want to know, how many of you have fb pages for your business and twitter? We all need to follow each other....please post here and let's help each other out.

 

Keep your ideas high enough to inspire you and low enough to encourage you!

To Monika

Welcome to the group. I hope everyone chimes in to give you ideas. The first thing I would suggest is to join and organization and volunteer to take pictures for the meetings and events(if you can) That way, people can actually see your work. (I had a caterer give me her card, but we were at a party and she could have brought food, BUT she didn't. Am I going to use her for a caterer? No, cause I STILL dont know if she can cook!" So people HAVE to know that you take great photographs. And then go from there. I always tell everyone to start with your Chamber , or Rotary Club but my all time favorite is American Business Womens Association. Also you can take photos for your homeowners assoc or if in an apt, help start an apt newletter and you the photographer. Sometimes you have to creat a platform to showcase your talent. For the geneology aspect, start a club to get people who are interested in to meet on a quarterly basis and  talk...you never know where that could lead you to an even more specific niche in the genealogy realm.  Volunteerism has made my business grow like crazy and put me incontact with decision makers. The folks who sign the checks! :o)

I'm now focusing on the puppet world! Please check out my group "Beings of Plush Ethnicity" if you like puppets. I have a new "You Tube" channel of puppet videos (they are also posted at the group here). I sell Barefoot Books, who carry puppets! When I get the funds, I'm going to get a tax ID and start selling puppets made by Sunny Puppets and Silly Puppets.

So, that's the plan, man!! :-)

I would like to sell puppets!  Would you buy one?  My friend wants to have a roadside stand here at the house.  He wants to sell plants and yardsale items.  I've been reading up on how to buy at wholesale. Seems you need a special number, and you must collect and report state sales tax.  This is all I've learned so far.

If you are a business owner and you are afraid of technology, you need to build a bridge and GET OVER IT! My friend it is nothing to be afraid of and is the best tool for getting your business out there!

 

The last 10 years has seen the biggest growth in the digital usage of email,blogs,texts... -VS-   paper based media like newspapers, letters and books.

 

According to Newsweek, July 26, 2010

12,000 blogs in 2000     vs. 141 million in 2010

12 billion emails sent daily in 2000   vs. 247 billion in 2010

2.7 hours per week spent online in 2000  vs.  18hrs per week in 2010

400,000 text messages sent  in 2000  vs. 175 billion in 2010

 

No fear clearly YOU are not scared of technology OR you would not be here on DivaCafe sharing your business to more than 6, 000 ladies. So get your DivaCafe, Tweet, FB, LinkedIn, your website,your emails, & your texts ON!!!

 

You really are on your way to the top! Be encouraged!!!

You are so right Roshon. Also, WRITE your goals down and keep them where they are visible. Without a goal, you are just treading water!!!

Here are some ideas to market your business YOU style! Every month is National something month...pick what is near and dear to you or your business and promote or create some fanfare...make it annual if you can!

February is: Black History Month, National American Heart Month, Children's Dental Health Month, International Friendship Month, National Cherry Month, National Embroidery Month, National Wild Bird Feeding Month, Responsible Pet Month, and my personal fav, National Snack Month!

Go be Extraordinary!!!

Like to cook?

Specialize it! Don't say, I cook everything....don't say that! Say what your specialties are: Italian food? Seafood? Light appetizers? Low Carb, Gluten-free,  Homestyle? Soulfood?

THEN:

Target demographics:

Single dad's

Health Restricted individuals

Local Celebs

 

Market yourself:

write articles for neighborhood newspapers, homeowner association newsletters, work newsletters, e-zines.)

Start a cooking club

Write a cookbook

Throw a cooking competition (you be one of the judges: choose food critics, farmers, local chefs as additional judges...make it an annual event some of the proceeds go to the local food bank)

Throw annual food eating contest

Do a cooking show video load up on Youtube

 

Whatever you do, make sure it is something you totally enjoy....the money will follow!
