The internet is the great leveler.
It used to be next to impossible for a small business to make a big splash in the world. It was too expensive, too time consuming, too hard to compete with the big corporations.
It used to be next to impossible for an unsigned artist to win a Grammy or have a Gold Record.
It used to be next to impossible for an Indie film to be seen without a distribution deal from a major studio.
It used to be completely impossible for a writer without a publishing deal to sell more than 100 books (assuming they had 100 friends and family).
But thanks to the internet that is no longer true. So what are you waiting for?
Look people! It’s the 21st Century!
You must have a presence online or no one will take you seriously. What does that mean for you?
At the barest minimum a website that is yours (not a page on some other site like Facebook or ReverbNation) and a living, breathing, active presence on Social Media.
Which Social Media? That largely depends on what kind of business you are running and where your niche market is hanging out.
“The Internet makes money for you when you build something that is real and when it matters to people!” – Darren Rowse
“Think like a publisher, not a marketer” – David Meerman Scott
“Never forget social media is for reach but email is for revenue.” Bryan Eisenberg
