For example, I write all sorts of things for my clients, but I’m a direct marketing specialist. Marketing and promotions is an important part of any business. If it’s not direct marketing, I don’t write it. And even more specifically, I’m known as the “direct mail guy.&#

Well, if you have a relationship with a big name person or business, why not offer them some free work in exchange for a link or promotion? I’ll use my own example here. Offer pro-bono work for a big name Everybody loves free work, right? His blog hasn’t been updated since 2008. He may not be in business anymore.&#

Your clients can have all this with no ongoing commitment to pay or perform, no continued maintenance, no time or money-sinking additional self-promotion techniques, no risk to their business brand, and for the same (or less) money than they currently pay to maintain their blog. Blogs aren’t right for every industry.

How To Promote Your Business On A Budget Reply James ( @MenwithPens ) January 11, 2010 at 7:06 am @Michael – I’m tossed up about that. For example, let’s say I want to learn how to be a better copywriter. Another example: Most clients of Men with Pens don’t know me personally. How could they not know?

Check out these fast examples: You’ll make mistakes. When you aren’t getting enough sleep, you’re short-changing yourself badly, not only in productivity but in many other areas that contribute to great work. A few rounds on the wieghts every week helped a great deal in straightening that out. Paul Novak´s last blog.

If you have quality content and the marketing prowess to promote it, then by all means charge. To give you an example – I’m a petrol head (I love cars) and I read several car related blogs. Some bloggers feel they are entitled to payment regardless of the quality of their content. Readers vote with their dollars.

I’m not talking about the manuals that promote get-rich-quick schemes or dodgy products peddled by snake-oil salespersons. Take psychology-style self-help books as an example, arguably the single most destructive e-book on the internet today. For example, Zen Habits. The problem? Those we can spot a mile away.

For example, threaded comments wasn’t the norm a year ago. Naturally, you’ll wind up saying the same thing a few different ways, but push yourself to find new examples and anecdotes.

The Marketing Consultant A marketing consultant’s job is to 1) figure out where you should market and promote, 2) how you should market your business and to whom, and 3) develop a marketing campaign for you to help reach new customers, existing clients and spread the word about your business.

They say that you need to find affiliates to promote your work so that you don’t have to work as hard, which is also true. Confidence and the lack thereof play major rolls in business… one specific example is when determining a project bid or what to charge per hour. Great post, seriously.

The economy is a perfect example. A true leadership thought is one that teaches by example and creates the Tom Sawyer effect…&# Hey! You have to start somewhere and that’s o.k.

Rather than feel uncomfortable, as in your example, in responding “(uh, well, oh.) One thing I have noticed is that some businesses are creating Facebook pages in lieu of a website to promote events and I don’t think that should be encouraged. That’s *their* sign of success.

For example, one of my favorite blogs is Liz Styles’ Damomma – I’ve been reading her blog for five years, despite having no kids and no plans to have kids any time soon. Almost without exception, successful writers are also keen readers – and almost any writing teacher will advise you to read, a lot.

Though my site is probably a little on the fluffy side, I try to utilize my background on some of my posts.

Take this blog, for example. With the autograph example, the piece of paper they just put their name on became a commodity the moment they did, but they don’t expect to get a cut of any profit should it be sold. It’s free. And from it, we get nothing. What do you have? They don’t get paid for the time it takes.

Rather than just blindly believe what other people say about someone, do your research: Dig through James’ writings over the years and see if you can find concrete examples of this blatant sexism.

For example, you’ve mentioned that you want to be paid for what you do, for the hours that go into your work and exposing yourself so much to your fans. It’s a contradiction in that we want to use the vehicle to promote ourselves, but that same vehicle is used for piracy. It’s funny. You feel accomplished. Same thing.
