To market, to market
Is it just me, or is marketing and sales terrifying? I know I talk about it a lot, and I’m not so bad at it when I put my mind to it. But there’s something scary about actually getting out there.
The Golden Pencil, once again, wrote a very interesting post about the fear of success and/or money. I’m pretty sure this is my problem with marketing.
One way I’m working to overcome this is by using online networking. MyBlogLog, which is having a contest, is a great way to meet new people.
I’m also starting a new blog, both to serve a need in my town, and to market my business.
Are you afraid of success or money? What steps are you taking to push past the fear?
I am definitely not afraid of money and success. As a matter of fact I’m anxious to get my hands at them.
heh. Nice. Keep up the good blogging.
Marketing yourself or your skills can be scary at first … but once you start it gets easier.
Try to remember, businesses NEED people to function. Thy need your skills – and they can only contact you if you make them aware of your capabilities. Don’t see it as being about you, see it as helping them solve a problem.
