Success Story #2

I think I have applied for about 15 different marketing projects or jobs that I have found on Craigslist and today someone hired me to help them with their marketing!  I am very excited about the opportunity to be working with this new company.  I applied for a job creating a logo for a new company in the Twin Cities.  I simply replied to the post on Craigslist, my new client called me and after a few questions offered me the project.  The great news about this kind of advertising is that it is free and so when you make money off of it the entire dollar amount is yours– no expenses have to be taken out.  There of course is also the potential with any new client that this will lead to more business in the future.

The moral of the story?  One of my marketing tactics worked and that is a win-win for all involved!  That means I will keep applying for projects on Craigslist because my return is worth it!  Try it and see what you come up with!

Marketing Success Story

I thought it would be fun to create posts whenever a marketing tactic that I do creates a new lead. Hopefully over the next 30 days my marketing challenge will spawn quite a few of these posts.

So yesterday I wrote about how I applied for marketing projects on Craigslist. I had one person email me back who is interested! I know it’s not a done deal or a new client by any means, but for me it is always exciting when someone contacts me from one of my marketing efforts. This person is starting a new business in the trucking industry and is looking for help creating and promoting his new business. He was looking to hire a marketing assistant so I emailed him about Automated Marketing letting him know we could do the marketing projects for him and that Automated Marketing is more cost effective then hiring an employee. I am excited and hopeful that this marketing effort will turn into a mutually beneficial relationship for the client and me!
