Marketing Yourself

  • Make marketing part of your daily routine.

  • Be persistent.

  • Market yourself while you do other things: leave business cards behind you as you do your errands; stuff envelopes while you watch television.

  • Let former colleagues know what you're doing and that you're available for work.

  • Join an association and attend its regular meetings.

  • Attend seminars and conferences.

  • Contribute an article about a subject in your field to a local newspaper.

  • Register your name and service with an online business directory.

  • Join an online discussion group.

  • Take on a college student as a marketing intern.

  • Be active in your community; it'll get your name out.
