DEATH BY SUCKY MARKETING:
By all means, do your own marketing. Learn about SEO, WordPress, and GMB. Figure out Facebook Ads, Facebook Business, and Facebook Pixel
on your own. Try your hand at Google Analytics, Google Ads, and the whole Google Suite. Give video shooting, editing, and publishing
a try. Don’t forget to do your keyword research, learn basic HTML, enter your META tags, and write some excellent copy. Ensure your website is beautiful so customers love it, and up-to-date so it doesn’t crash, but also fast enough before your potential customers bounce. Have fun with GoDaddy support, custom code issues, and creating your mailing list. All while running your business.
Just don’t be surprised when you don’t see much return for your effort. A lot of effort. An I-feel-like-shooting-myself-right-now amount of effort.
Or you could hire a company like YellowPages… until you read the numerous horror stories
and realize it would be the second-worst decision of your online life - right after giving a stranger your online banking password.
That’s why I’ve started my business, Here and Now Marketing Solutions. To help businesses like yours get the basics of digital marketing down. I can manage everything for you, or just set it up and train you how to manage it on your own.
Everything I listed above? I do it all. But I’ll only recommend what you need.
I suppose I could write hundreds of blog posts on tips on how to do your own marketing.
Or I could write one blog post with the best advice someone could give you:
DON’T. DO. IT. ON. YOUR. OWN.
DON’T.
Your future self will thank you.
My recommendations are free. My prices are reasonable, and I’ll work within your budget. I even provide monthly financing options.
