This is so enlightening. I have a small internet cafe and I must admit that the competition here is killing me.And I am on the brink of closing it but with your posts, I might consider giving it a second chance.

I also believe that if you own a small business then you should look to spend less money and cut back on business expenses, whilst trying to increase your market share through more effective marketing.

You know it’s funny because I’ve done a lot of research comparing the differences of selling on Ebay vs. Amazon. I found that even though Ebay is known for offering the best deals, Amazon is growing because people enjoy their platform. Amazon has also gained the reputation of quality merchandise, even though they’re selling many of the same products Ebay does. I believe more and more that people will pay for quality, if a company makes the effort to stand above their competitors.

Some businesses are thriving in this economy because of they way they are marketing themselves and the products they offer. Items that save a customer money seem to be selling faster.

It may well be a tough time but this is when real entrepreneurs can shine.

By managaing their businesses and keeping costs to a minimum, it’s still very possible to be profitable.

With the economic crisis in full swing, more and more people are getting into the small business arena, many times due to the loss of their corporate job(s). I have also heard a lot of talk between my friends and family about buying locally and from small businesses. I think it is a trend that will continue. Twice in the last week, I have heard friends tell me about hand made items they have bought on etsy.com, a site where handmade items are sold. This is the time to get in the arena if you ever wanted to make/sell your stuff OR just become a small business owner.

This is really good advice. I’ve recently started promoting my writing as if it were a small-business, and I’ve done surprisingly well, despite the economic downturn.

Hi Dawud,
I found myself grateful to you the other day. I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and soaked in some good advice to give small businesses the other day. At the last minute I was asked to represent the construction division of Caltrans (we build the roads and bridges in California) at a Small Business Fair. Our goal was to recruit Small Businesses to do business with the State of California. Our governor has mandated that 25% of all purchases made by the State be made with Small Businesses. After showing them how to register and get certified, we talked about their websites, getting listed in DMOZ and Yahoo Local etc, putting their website address on their business cards and on their trucks, and then how to give something away for free to meet people. For a lot of the construction companies I suggested they make a safety topic presentation at the big contractor’s sites to get to know them and hopefully be invited to be subcontractors. I picked up a lot from the teleseminar I took with you recently, it really helped me be useful to small businesses in California!
Thanks!

In addition to a finely defined niche market, a finely defined marketing plan is in order. When I give myself a daily list of 10 things to do to promote my business, it saves me from indecision and distraction. I want to know what path I am heading on, and what destination I am shooting for. Some of the things from my stockbroker days – 300 dials per day, and ask for the order. Close 7 times. Send information several times prior to presenting a sales opportunity. Build a relationship, not a sale. A sale buys once. A relationship buys again and again.

companies are a bit scared to bloat up their staff, but if you have the skills they need many are seriously considering hiring consultants or work for hire I have been extremely lucky to have found work with two companies doing what I love – social media. Best part – they want me to stay home and work. Cheaper for them and seriously cheaper for me.

It’s like my mother was telling me. If you’ve got your shit in the market and you’re not touching it, you won’t have a problem. It’s the retirees that were counting on the market RIGHT NOW that are getting their asses kicked. I don’t need the money I have invested, so I’ll just sit and wait and eventually it has to turn in my favor.
