Yow! Is this you? You’re everwhere: Facebook, Squidoo, EzineArticles, Adzines, Clickbank, Technorati, etc. You’ve got ten websites. You’ve got 15 social networks.

Yet the business isn’t coming in. Your thoughts: my marketing isn’t working!

Is it not?

Have you ever employed someone? Or, have you ever worked for someone? You were given a task – or a set of tasks – and you called that…your job.

What are your marketing method’s jobs? What’s Facebook supposed to be doing for you?

I first became aware of Joe Hage on Biznik (which I’ve talked about many times on this blog before and if you’re still not joining me, well…) and he’s now a client of mine.

He’s a Marketing Guy. That’s not his official title, of course, but he knows his stuff. Just look at his resume or testimonials to figure that out.

But I’m writing because I was reading a marketing article of his and I am compelled to share it! Never mind that it says Seattle Marketing Strategy – the advice is actually completely independent of Seattle (he probably did that for SEO purposes – learn it!).

Virtual assistants, marketing assistants, etc – we’re as in demand now as it’s ever going to get, so if you’re not getting business, you really need to re-think your marketing strategy.

Read Joe’s article here and if you’re brave and/or smart, you really should join me on Biznik and follow my lead so you can get clients (good paying ones), too. I am a paid member but didn’t start out that way. A Biznik membership is completely free. Even if you just want to learn from some experienced folks, you need to be networking.
