Discovering Marketing

Standard

Sorry about the late post, folks! Life’s been fairly hectic over the past two weeks. My boyfriend and I got ourselves a car(that we’re still trying to fix) and relocated to his parents’ house(and aren’t entirely moved in yet), so I’ve been just a little bit caught up in the work we’ve got to get done.

Fortunately, that’s not what I’m here to ramble about today. Rather, I’d like to introduce you, readers, to an awesome little resource that has really opened up new worlds for aspiring small business owners like myself. What I’m referring to are these excellent Free Marketing Courses sent straight to your email from Naomi Dunford, creator of IttyBiz. Don’t worry, guys – there’s no spam in this.

These courses are tailored to your specific marketing needs, whether you’re a blogger, a geek, an artist, a writer, or just anybody looking to learn a thing or two about the basics of marketing. All you have to do is decide what kind of person you are and what you’re looking to achieve, and then provide your email address. Personally, I thought “Marketing for Designers and Other Artsy Fartsy Types” was right for me. I could’ve also selected “Marketing for Bloggers: How to Get More Asses in the Seats”. There are quite a few translations of these texts just waiting to be interpreted by business owners like you and me. I’m sure you’ll find the one that’s made just for you.

After you’ve signed up, you’ll receive an email every other day for ten days, each covering a different aspect of the marketing world. Each email contains some very useful advice, some points to consider, some questions to ask yourself about your own business, and occasionally a task for you to complete for your own good. Not only will you learn a thing or two about marketing, but through these exercises you’ll discover a few things you didn’t know about your own itty business. I won’t go into much more detail than that; you’ll just have to hear what Naomi has to say for yourself. Be sure to check it out, internet!

Oh, and over the past few days I started receiving some more emails from Naomi, a continuation of these awesome lessons. Just saying, if you enjoy them as much as I did, I hope you’re in the mood for some extra credit. Thanks for reading.
