Many solo business owners are stretched now, so even though it's a GREAT time to get back to business, they're struggling.
# They're overwhelmed with how to structure a marketing plan. So much to offer to so many people but not enough time, where to start!?
# They're not sure a new or even an updated service will sell well so they don't give 100% to getting it out there – what is the point?
# They're exhausted just at the thought of working out the tech bits (and the expense, don't get me started!)
Yet I know this can be different.
It's a combination of eating that frog & an elephant!
Get those things into the diary you are avoiding doing & chop everything else down to size so it is manageable.
Keep it simple – here are three marketing ideas that could help immediately:
1 Use a 1 page simple marketing action plan like the one I offer in my free challenge group (sign up to the next one here). Limit your space, limit your activities: just one thing to one segment of potential purchasers at a time.
2 Plan to Launch a tight minimum viable service – test it but as a paid for option – announce a date for the launch in the not too distant future because a deadline gets your mind just that little bit more focused and helps with motivation.
3 Use quick, simple & free apps to help support your Launch – see what works and what doesn't, refine it, before investing in paid for options like a website, SEO or social media services.
I call it Launch Learn Rinse Repeat. So what could you get launched really quickly right now?
