10 Creative Strategies to grow your business organically!

1.

Use your social media profiles to do as many of the following things you can at least every month; 1. share a special offer that was shared with you to everyone you are connected with, 2. give a product or service of yours away for free or at a drastically discounted rate, 3. Teach your connections how to do something without charging them for the knowledge and/or 4. share milestones that you have accomplished and off a $25 gift card to Walmart or another store to one or more of your connections who respond with the most creative reply to your questions or requests.

2.

Ask your clients, customers and/or associates to give you a testimonial that you can share on your website or blog and ask them to recommend you on your LinkedIn profile as this ads credibility to who you are and what you offer. Others like seeing what people have to say about you!

3.

Send a thank you note or card to your clients, customers and associates to recognize them as a valued asset! You can enclose a marketing flyer or brochure if you like however a sincere short note goes a long way! Direct mail is more personal than e-mail!

4.

Recommend your clients, customers or associates and write a sincere testimonial or recommendation on their LinkedIn profile and/or on your stationery and send it to them for their utilization.

5.

Showcase your newest projects added to your portfolio on as many social media platforms as you can letting others see what you have done for your clients and/or customers. This is the best proof you can provide that will attract others to you organically. Make sure, if possible, you showcase your porfolio, or at least part of it, on your website and/or blog.

6.

Write and publish articles that are less on the sales pitch side and more on the information side relative to your products, services and the industry you represent. Use sites like Amazine.com that are free. You can also hire article writers off sites like Fourerr and Fiverr to write an article about you, your projects and/or services.

7.

Take time, daily if possible, to Like and Comment on the post shared by those you are connected with on all of your social media profile! This interaction will get you noticed.

8.

Join Groups on LinkedIn (as well as Facebook, Google, Yahoo, etc...) where people are talking about subjects that are related to your business, the products and/or services you offer and comment, post and share in a professional way. This gets you recognized and can lead to building valuable connections that lead to new business relationships.

9.

Create a video and post it to YouTube with your contact information and links to your website, blog and social media profiles in the Description or About section under the video as this creates high quality back-links and will generate additional traffic for you. Be creative!

10.

Create and publish COUPONS on sites like Merchant Circle which are directorized by the search engines quickly to generate exposure and to get new leads from people searching for what you offer.
