When you are marketing your business, our advice to you is to be in as many social platforms as possible in order to get as many potential eyes as possible. Some good platforms to start on would be; Google, Bing, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Youtube, Snapchat... to name a few.

Your business obviously must be marketed to your audience. Now even though, it is not smart to promote to an audience that is not relative to your product or service. For instances if your selling women's shoes, you want to market to women interested in shoes. The chances of selling those shoes to basketball players, will be quite minimal. It is a simple concept but could be over looked when you start making your ads campaign.

Once you have identified your audience, then it’s time to test different approaches of marketing. Most of the best business try small efforts, in different areas tweaking to maximize results. This will allow for minimal loss and greater success, instead of going all in on one marketing practice.

3. Learning From Your Mistakes & Getting Feedback

The easiest thing that you will encounter a long this journey is encountering setbacks and mistakes. The best way to to going along with this is to let people interact with your product or service and see what their take is on it. A fresh set of eyes can help point out a problem you might have missed.

Plus, these people will become your first brand advocates, especially if you listen to their input and if they like or dislike the product or service.

Long used methods such as, prototyping, experimenting and adjusting in that order will allow you for the greatest possible outcomes.

By pushing out a product, getting feedback and then adapting before you push out the next product or honing your service, you can constantly improve and make sure you stay relevant.

Make sure you do these steps in order to provide minimal risk involved in starting your business. The least risk possible will be vital for your success. You need great passion for this and if you have full time job, maybe it will be in your greatest interest to step down from it.

The reason for this is that, having that full time job will delay or even prohibit your chance of having a successful business due to you having that "long day of work", or "I can do that over the weekend" excuse that always sneaks in during hard times. Having full focus on your pursuit and what you love will allow you to make leaps in progress to growing your business.
