Marketing based on teaching.
Businesses are afraid of sharing information fearing that the competition will take and use it competitively against the business.
For smaller businesses, how do you get known? Go back to the office TODAY and start a blog. Teach the community about your process, and what works for you. You will then create an audience that comes back to you, which will build into a community that you can sell things to.
Share a process and educate! Let people behind the scenes.
