Small Business Marketing – Apr 18 – Day 28 of 45 Days to Freedom Challenge
Today got started at roughly the regular time right around 9 AM where I got some breakfast and did my reading.
I got fantastico to install WordPress on one of my domains that I’m probably going to be hosting a contest on. I want to build up a massive site very quickly and the only way to do this is to crowd source.
So now I have to design exactly how the contest works, the rules, and be able to display it in an incredibly simple way that someone could take a 10 second glance at it or less and know exactly what is going on.
Anything too complicated in this world almost never works.
I also had to deal with some tax issues and Steve did as well. This burned up most of the morning and no lead generation activities got done.
On the bright side Andrew did get another 20 of our craigslist ads built.
So he was very productive even though Steve and I went by the wayside. The later afternoon did get better because we had a meeting with Blake at 5 PM.
The meeting went well and I talked with her about some of my contest ideas which she got really excited about. She knows it can work fantastically well which only confirms my belief that I’m on the right track.
Right before Blake got there I was working on some keynote presentations for the screen flow videos that Steve is going to be doing. Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac was totally crapping out so we had to go over to keynote.
It works very smoothly and I was able to get those completed.
On the outside in the evening for Steve he found a customer relationship management free software called Soho which integrates well and with Google calendar.
Then we talked more about my vision for the company, how Steve sees the business going, his reading of the book “the millionaire real estate agent”, and overall how the contest is going to work and run.
Despite some setbacks things are coming into focus and falling into place. Follow all the updates about the 45 days to freedom small business marketing challenge right here.
