This simple marketing plan is ideal for newbies or "marketing newbies" -- that's you if you've only gotten work through word of mouth and have no marketing system in place. 

This plan will give you that system and the confidence you need to market your services.

Don't let your insecurities get in the way of getting the work that's out there. You have to be more confident (or at least come across more confidently)—so your prospects will be secure enough to say yes. When you show confidence that you can get the job done—whether you do it yourself or hire someone else to—your client will rest easy. That confidence must come through in your marketing, in both content and tone.

This Marketing Plan can help. As long as you practice what you preach and show what you know, you'll become more and more confident with each day.

We know there are so many options when it comes to marketing your business—that it's easy to get overwhelmed. This plan gives you exactly the right marketing effort—and only one—to do every day. All you have to do is do it—first thing in the morning, whenever possible!

What kind of marketing is required to specifically go after the work you want? That's what this plan will tell you.

What does your web site need to say? What 5 things must your web site have? That's what this plan will show you.

Which marketing tools should be most frequently used? That's what the eCalendar already has in it.

As long as you take your own marketing as seriously as you take the work you do for your clients, you will avoid the Feast or Famine Syndrome, get your ideal clients coming to you, make more money, and learn tools and strategies that will lead to your success and profit for years to come.

It's not too late to make this your best year yet.
