Hello all, How can a little guy compete with a big guy? I would like to hear ideas, advices, examples, and concerns. What works best for you? radio, newspaper, TV, direct mail, word of mouth, ect. I own a community site. have noticed an exponential growth rate past few weeks. I have found that mailing is a good promotion method for me. However, it is very much time consuming but the response rate is much higher. so lets get this discussion started and see where it ends!
Are you talking about emails/online mailing lists or offline direct mailing? You can outsource both and automate both to an extent. For me, nothing beats direct response really...(emails and mails). So, I suggest stick to it...work on growing your list and make affiliate offers or other offers to your list. Best, Ana
A mailing list would be good for monetizing your website also.. if you can get a mix of articles & affiliate/ads discreetly added into the ads.. If you don't have time, just simply use % of the money earned from placing those ads in your letter to get articles written.
To compete with the big boys you have to become a big boy. You have to lower your prices , with a better service or product . Good luck
want to be abig boy you need a bigger promotion. as you are new, you need to build brand recognition and provided better services or product. hope this help.
