Self-promotion 101

One of the hardest things to remember to do at a busy time in your life is self-promotion. But in fact, it is one of the most basic, as it is also self-preservation.

I don’t have any tips for self-motivation, because my motivation comes and goes.  Sometimes, I don’t follow this list very well.

I’ve compiled a list, but it could be summed up by “luck favors the prepared” – when you’re ready for opportunities, they come to you.

But here are things that are necessary:

  • Update your resume when your information changes.  You may need it instantly!
  • Keep blogs and URLs current, with relevant information. (especially your business)
  • Use twitter.
  • Continue to make new contacts.  Meet new people.  Every new person you meet has a network of their own that is entirely unique.
  • Keep up with old contacts.  Even if it’s as brief as a Facebook message or wall post, it’s important.
  • Keep creating.

Just a few things I’ve learned as an entrepreneur!
