Marketing Recipe

It’s Friday, so I thought I’d do something a little out of the ordinary and fun today. I’m posting a recipe to use when marketing your business. Wouldn’t it be so much easier if we just had a recipe to follow word by word during this journey of entrepreneurship? I think so.

I have to admit, I am not all-knowing, and this recipe will probably leave something to be desired. However, it is a lighthearted way to end the week :o) I look forward to your comments, what would you add or change?

Ingredients

1 cup Persistence

1 cup Creativity

½ cup Research

½ cup Knowledge

¼ cup Personality

¼ cup Money

1 tsp. Humor

1 enormous chunk of time

Directions

1. Start by dividing the Research into your enormous chunk of time; this will yield Knowledge.
2. Keep Persistence and Creativity close by your side, sprinkling in throughout.
3. When mixing it all together becomes tough, add in your Personality. It will help soften the task!
4. Don’t forget to add the Money; it will help raise an otherwise flat outcome.
5. Add Humor as needed.  {Note: Humor can be substituted with a shot of tequila or a glass of white wine.}
6. Be sure to monitor the results so that you can alter the recipe as needed!

 Have a great weekend, everyone!

Celebrate with us!

You may not have realized {it's kind of snuck up on me too} but Market Mommy will turn one on June 1! This past year has truly flown by!

As you can imagine, I would not let such a significant date pass by without a party. So, in addition to our exciting site expansion and redesign, I'm throwing Market Mommy's First Birthday Extravaganza here at The Blog! The entire month of June is going to be a blast!

There are several ways you can get involved. First, we are putting together an AWESOME prize package for one lucky mom entrepreneur. This package already totals over $500 and we're just getting started. Do you have a product or service that would be useful to a mom business owner? We'd like to include it in our prize package, contact me for details! We're especially looking for advertising space :>)

Do you have a great product, but it's not necessarily aimed at women business owners specifically? We'd still like to feature you and your product on The Blog. We will be hosting various giveaways throughout the month of June, so contact us to get yours scheduled!

And, the entire month of June The Blog is going to be packed with guest blog posts. We are going to have posts on a variety of topics, including 5 Must Haves on Your Facebook Page, Affordable Child Care Options, How I Run my Business for Next to Nothing, and much more! Are you a veteran blogger that would like to write a guest blog post for our Extravaganza? Contact me with your topic idea today!

The fourth option, is just to come, hang out with us, enter some giveaways and have a good time! I hope to see everyone here. We are excited about our first birthday and hope you are too! Thanks for your support over the past year, we appreciate it!
