Learn these 12 steps and grow your home based business:
- Start thinking about it and treating it like a business
- Evaluate your profitability
- Look at your equipment
- Define and Amplify your Niche... who do you sell to now? DO more of that.. Shirts for sales teams. Dance and Cheer. no effort into anything else
- Dig deeper into current customers … call to ask for more business, ask what else they do/order
- Then expand product lines to match where you can.... koozies, bags, promotional items
- Create a solid referral plan - find a way for customers to refer you, ask for referrals, give out coupon codes, etc
- Live Social - BNI, Chamber of commerce, charity groups, church groups, sports clubs, car clubs
- Go online - build a web store and get your customers visiting. pick products your "niche" might buy and push to them via email / flyers / word of mouth
- Partner with other businesses - you don't sell signs? partner with a sign company. award company, paper printer
- Hire freelancers - get people to write for your website, send emails for you, do accounting, do art (even work with your kids, spouse, etc)
- Expand your niche to a second market... repeat first steps
