Here
are Steve McCrea’s tips about “How to market yourself and your
products and services efficiently and cheaply” -- (Note: Most of
these suggestions ARE NOT FREE, because they involve your time. Time
is money, time is limited, so hire someone to do some of these
actions for you).
HINT: Teenagers are skilled at these activities and they would LOVE
to have real-world experience, too. I have a team of teens who want
to work for you. 954 646 8246 everyoneishere@gmail.com
REPEAT:
“I don’t have to do everything on this list. I can select the
best options for me and I can hire someone else to try it.”
