How to Grow Your Business - even when the Economy Sucks

It doesn't matter if you have a corporation or a kitchen table business.
There are many ways to bring in new customers and refresh your old customer base, Today I will give you two easy and free examples on just how to do it.

Myspace is regarded in the community as a kid thing. NOT SO.


Many businesses are using Myspace to extend their online presence. With the use of the 'friends' option, blog and bulletin, you can reach many potential customers that may not necessarily be visiting or reading your normal advertisements. You can also calendar your events.

This can be considered a sort of niche advertisement where you have total control.
With proper care in developing your friends list, your bulletins, your content and key words you can grow your little online following in time which will produce branding and a following for what you offer.

Be sure to look up Fernley360 on MySpace and add us as a friend. When you send out a bulletin or relevant blog we will get it and forward it along to our group and so it goes. Others will see your blog and forward it along their groups as well.

Local Online Communities can announce and strengthen your business.

Another way to build, brand and create customer confidence locally is to join Fernley 360 if you haven't already done so. Use your business name and logo when you create your account.
You will be able to create your own page. And for those without a website, this is a nice quick way to build an online profile for your business.

You can then create blogs that relate to your business.
If your business is related to gardening you can write 'How To' articles on various subjects related to gardening. Just write about what you know and what you do best.
By doing this you will not only be supplying folks with some great information, they will remember you for it.

With so many using the internet to search these days, it will pay off to position yourself within a community network that is actually in your community.

One more quick tip:
When writing your blog please remember to link relevant locations within your article as I have done above. This will help your readers get to where you want them to go instead of having to search or copy and past it into a browser.
With proper key words, your blog will be displayed on word searches. This, in my opinion, is more powerful than the yellow pages simply because your potential customers will be receiving relevant information and not just your contact information.

Don't take my word for it.

Bulletin: Are You Taking The Slow Way To Success?

Let's say you need to get from New York to Chicago. You can walk the 790 miles in a month, bike it in a week, drive it in a day, or fly it in a couple of hours. What's the difference? It's all about the vehicle you use.

It's the same with business success. You can spend an enormous amount of time and effort getting to your business destination the hard way (think "walking"), or you can be whisked there in a fraction of the time.

Who can get you there the fastest? That would be my friend, Bill Bartmann. A few days ago I wrote you about Bill. He's the guy who went from eating out of dumpsters to becoming a billionaire.

Bill has another distinction: Of all the firms EVER to be on Inc. Magazine's "500 Fastest-Growing Companies" list, only Microsoft grew as fast for as long as Bill Bartmann's company did.

As far as I know, Bill Gates is not spending any time explaining to businesspeople how to get ahead. But Bill Bartmann is doing just that: He's unveiling a phenomenal, new tool he's developed for slashing the time it takes to reach your business goals. It's called his "Billionaire Business System."

What's holding you back from the level of business success you want?

--Is it lack of money? Bill was bankrupt before he became a self-made billionaire.

--Is it lack of support from your family? Bill's parents at one point told him they wished he was dead.

--Is it a lousy economy? Bill made his fortune in the midst of a recession.

My point is simple: This man knows failure and adversity as intimately as he knows legendary success. And you can discover what he knows by getting in on the ground floor of Bill's Billionaire Business System.

In Bill's online system, he will tell you his secrets in his very own words. No "guest presenters" and no fluff. Just straight talk about your business, straight from Bill.

Muhammad Ali said "Bill is the Greatest at helping people recognize and discover the champion hiding inside. He teaches people how to knock out the negatives in their lives."

You can see what I mean and get your own impression of this amazing system by going here.

See for yourself why the Smithsonian Institution has a permanent display about Bill's achievements and why Harvard Business School studies Bill's techniques. See for yourself how Bill is better qualified than anyone else to help you to start or grow your business. You can thank me later.

To Your Success,

J. France

P.S. The TV show "Good Morning America" invited Bill to talk about this revolutionary new system for business success on August 18. If you missed it, to see for yourself how Bill can help you achieve you goals, just go to Billionaire University.
