1. find a strategic business partner. look for ones that have the same objective. you can trade leads, share marketing info, sell package deals, etc.
2. brand your name and business. you can easily do this by just writing articles and submitting them to e-zines or web sites for republishing.
3. remember to take a little time out of your day or week to brainstorm. New ideas are usually the difference between success and failure.
4. model other successful business or people. don't out right copy them, but practice some of the same habits that have made them succeed.
5. take risks to improve your business. sometimes businesses don't want to advertise unless it's free, sometimes you have to spend money to get results.
6. include emotional words in your advertisements. use ones like love, security, relief, freedom, happy, satisfaction, fun, etc.
7. outsource part of your workload. including your secretarial work, accounting, marketing, etc.
8. combine a product and service together in a package deal. it could increase your sales. if you're selling a book, offer an hour of consulting with it or vice versa.
