Small Business Marketing ? Systems and Results

Small business marketing is not as fun as you would think it would be. While there are times that you get to look over creative, pick a new brand or colors or even roll out a new product, most of the time it is just grinding through the standard tasks that really make a difference in the long run.

Small business marketing systemTo make those tasks easier, I have a system, in fact I have multiple systems and forms that I use to make sure that I know my goals and the steps it takes to from Point A (a really good idea) to Point B (actually doing something) to Point C (seeing results). I find that too many people fall off somewhere between A and B, then are sad that it didn?t work and they never get any results at all, good or bad!

In my post last week, Small Business Marketing ? When You Start, No One Is Listening! I talked about what happens when you start anything new, but I didn?t really give you any tools to help you. That made me think that it might help to take a peek into what I do when I roll out a marketing channel plan for my business.

Small Business Marketing System ? Video Blogging and YouTube

We tell our clients that video is the way to go in the upcoming marketing realm so I have to practice what I preach! With that in mind I am posting at least a couple of free videos a week on the YouTube, adding to my membership site videos and also writing blog posts that take advantage of this medium (like this one!)

The thing about creating small business marketing systems that hangs up people the most is perfection. They spend time planning and plotting and working to get it perfect BEFORE they try it out. I basically sat down and made a goal that I would post 3 videos and blog posts a week and set up a form. As you will see in the video, I used it for a while and then needed to fine tune it to make it work. Your systems should be a fluid thing until you are sure you have the process down, then set them in stone for a few months and set up a new system for something else you want to accomplish!

So there you have it, my small business marketing system for getting videos out the door and published! Please ? start your own system today for something you would like to accomplish and tell me what it was in the comment section (extra credit if you make a video and post it to your YouTube channel!)
