2. Don't forget your offline techniques. Though more focus may be given to your online marketing strategies, you still have to perform offline tactics. After all, there are still a lot who are not online. The good news is plenty of the traditional offline techniques still work. You just have to innovate and add a more modern twist to them. These include the following:

3. Make yourself reachable. The last thing you want to do is to let good opportunities pass by. It's essential you make yourself available out there, so potential clients will find it easier to get in touch with you. Provide a business phone number and address. Give away your e-mail address. Let them know the best times to reach you.

 

4. Join organizations. Scour for associations or organizations that you think you ought to belong to. By being part of a group enhances your credibility and authority. You don't get accepted by well-respected groups without going through rigid screening. It's also a good venue to increase your network connection and find marketing experts who can be your mentors.

 

5. Inspire yourself with subliminal messages. Confidence is a vital key to self-marketing. Boost your self-esteem with subliminal messages. Each day, before you do anything else, look yourself in the mirror and think or recite the following:

 

I attract wealth and abundance.

I love myself.

I put high value in what I can do.

I am worthy of the blessings.

I deserve to succeed in life.

 

Note, though, that success doesn't come immediately, so you need to be very patient.
