Are you an established small business owner, mompreneur, graduate or retiree who has been in business for three or more years? Have you yet to truly realize the success and opportunities you desire for yourself and your business?

Marketing a small business today tends to take a back seat. Not because entrepreneurs don’t value the importance of marketing, it’s likely due to the lack of knowledge of what to do, when to do it and more importantly, how to market the business.

Every day business owners hear about some new marketing strategy they should be doing. This simply fuels individuals’ frustration and serves as a reminder that they are not gaining traction in their business. The good news is that you don’t have to do every tactic that you learn about, but you do need to get your business established online.
