“The road to success is failure” -Josh Rossi
Top 3 Tips From the Interview:
1. The best time to market yourself is when you’re busy.
Stay top of mind in businesses you want to work with. When you’re busy with projects and clients, it’s easy to forget that you should be constantly working to get the word out there about your business.
2. Give yourself permission to fail.
Josh said it well: “The road to success is failure.” If you look at some of the most successful people, they have failed many more times than the average person because they were willing to take chances, fail, and learn from it.
3. Enter “Influencer Marketing”
When done well, it can be quite helpful to work with someone of influence to get your work exposed to their audience. The process involves reaching out to someone who is extremely influential, and making sure their audience fits with your audience. Also, it’s vital to make sure their audience is full of decision-makers who could hire you. Josh runs a great FREE webinar on how to engage in Influencer Marketing here.
