Marketing

Marketing is a vast topic and you will find many articles below. Before you start make sure you have paper and pencil ready to make notes.

This is what I recommend:

  • Have a look at the ‘How-To-Series’ section first. The‘How-To-Series’ deals with the different elements of marketing and goes into great details.
  • Then come back to this page daily. Spend 15 minutes and read a few of the articles. The articles are quite short and easy to implement.
  • I am sure you will have questions once you start reading and making notes. So head to the forum to ask your question.
  • And if you are unsure about anything, email Renuka  or me and we will help. Remember there are no silly questions.

Message and request from Renuka
We have just done a major upgrade, and there are thousands of pages on the site. It is very difficult to check every page. When you come across links that are broken, can you do me a small favour? Please send me the webpage where the links are located. I will fix all the broken links.
