The last few years, I’ve started using testimonials in my business. I will be honest and say FEAR stopped me from asking for testimonials.

I don’t have time to promote is a statement I hear a lot when I have my virtual tea sessions with my clients.  They have so many things on their plate; they just don’t have time to squeeze promotion in too. Unfortunately promotion is very important when it comes to books or businesses.  You have to make time to promote, or you won’t be making any sales. I’ve created a newsletter to help you tackle
Most writers or business owners don’t plan a budget for their promotion. It’s not something I recommend, but it happens a lot with new authors or new businesses. As a matter of fact, I started SORMAG with no budget. Back in 2000 I didn’t know anything about online promotion. I didn’t know I needed a budget or what to even spend my budget on.
