4- Stages of Marketing and Promoting

Breaking in takes some time, so to help make it a more manageable process; here are four stages to marketing and promoting.

1. Sign up, observe, and educate yourself.
2. Participate. Start to make yourself known.
3. Share something and grow relationships. Focus on what you give people or what you can share that's of value.
4. Ask for help. This is when you might actually put your connections to work as a means of soft or hard marketing.

People who know you and trust you will be more likely to help you. That's why it's important to establish relationships far before you market and promote a product/service. The relationships have to be meaningful before they have value in a marketing/promotion effort.
