As you know, I\u2019m a big believer in the power of content marketing and giving away free content with hints and tips just like this weekly podcast I put out!

But one mistake I\u2019ve made myself in the past, and see other people making, is to think that if they\u2019re giving things away, they shouldn\u2019t try and sell anything too. Sales is not a dirty word as without it, you\u2019ll have no company left to be able to provide any free content.

I want to tell you that it\u2019s ok to sell! As long as you do it openly and honestly. I think we\u2019ve all seen the \u201cfree help\u201d article that starts off well but ends up being a sales pitch. That\u2019s definitely not what I\u2019m talking about doing.

So today\u2019s tip is simply a reminder to let people know what you sell and how that can help them.

Below is my sales pitch to you. If you want to stop reading now, that\u2019s cool and just skip to the last paragraph. But I hope you won\u2019t as I genuinely believe I can help people with their marketing even more by using my paid services.

I do this in three ways\u2026

I can provide low cost training courses that teach you about an area of marketing (e.g. blogging, creating videos, starting a podcast etc). There are 20+ of these on the website at just \xa310+Vat each.

I also offer 1to1 advice and consultancy if people need help in a particular area of their marketing. So if you need help with something specific, just get in touch.

And finally, I\u2019ve just launched a \u201cdone for\u201d marketing service that came about because I\u2019ve heard the same thing from so many small business owners over the past few months. They\u2019ve said they know they should be marketing but don\u2019t have the time or inclination to do it and just want someone to do it for them. If that\u2019s you take a look here and drop me a message.

But I\u2019m also totally cool with people subscribing to and implementing the free tips and never spending a penny with me if it helps them out.

If you\u2019ve got any questions just head to the Ten Minute Marketing Facebook group here and ask me there.

Thanks

Richard
