Another 5 great marketing tips for you to start implementing each day of the week.

Monday: Add a newsletter subscribe function to your website to kick start your database. Choose a double opt in, that is, once people subscribe they are sent an email to confirm.

Tuesday: Donate a product or service to a charity. Choose one that is close to your heart and offer without expecting a return. This will make you feel fantastic and also be a great sponsorship opportunity for your business.

Wednesday: Share your knowledge and hold a free seminar. Start by contacting your local business chamber or local government for places to hold them and for promotion. Make sure the seminar is what people want to know and is informative. Don't spend the whole time selling.

Thursday: Looked at your website statistics lately? Which pages are popular compared to this time last yr? Set some goals for your website e.g. increase page visits by 20% within 5 months. Schedule to review your website stastics every month.

Friday: Join a small biz forum like FlyingSolo and particpate often. Comment with honesty and professionalism. Don't use it as a sales ground.
