There is an excuse that is used FAR too often when thinking about starting a business venture in a niche market. You’ve probably heard it before, you may have even used it before. It’s the classic “oh no, I can’t. Too many people are already doing that” excuse.
For the record – that excuse is a lie.
Let’s talk money. No, the world doesn’t revolve around it, but our businesses do.
As entrepreneurs, we are always looking for ways to ramp-up our revenue. For start-ups, first you have to make money to create financial stability, let alone be able to put it back in your pocket.
I know this is a long list, but read carefully. Grab a pen and paper because I’m about to give you 12 proven strategies that will help ramp up your revenue.
Events can be an extremely effective marketing tool for building your business.
Attending events and hosting events might be something that you should consider if you want to grow your network and build your credibility. Events are more than just people sitting in a room, listening to speaker after speaker talking to you, instead of with you. When you leverage what an event has to offer, you can leave with more than just a notebook full of words.
Let’s break down why people make the investment to attend events, and why people choose to spend the time and money hosting them.
Entrepreneurs are aways looking for good marketing ideas that can help them build their business, but what about the unconventional marketing opportunities you might be missing?
Let’s state the obvious for a moment and say that every business owner is looking for more customers.

Your habits around money will dictate your relationship with money for years to come, and chances are, it might be time to clean up your money habits.
Money is a touchy subject for a lot of people, especially women. It doesn’t have to be that way.
You own a business. You don’t have to apologize for talking about money. In fact, you should be thinking about, observing and measuring money on a regular basis.
Are you really ready for opportunity when it hits?
Stop for a moment and imagine that you do something remarkable and all of a sudden millions of people know who you are. This happened to someone I know recently and sadly, they were not ready. They reached out and shared something with me that had thrown their name, and their business suddenly and unexpectedly in front of tens of millions of people.
They were not ready.
How do you measure success? As a business owner, what is it that you look to achieve in your business?
Sometimes people get frustrated when they see the success achieved by others, and they can’t understand why they aren’t getting the same outcome.
That is the perception illusion.
Instagram is often an untouched resource for business owners. You’re able to show your personality and creativity through visual storytelling. Whether you sell clothing, bath and beauty products, stationery or anything else in between, Instagram can be an incredible way to reach more people and start generating income for your business.
Diana, who is a member of my team, said Instagram is by far her favourite Social Media channel. She’s 20-years-old and that really got me thinking – what makes Instagram so appealing to Millennials?
