While there is a great diversity of home-based businesses out there, there is one thing that all home-based businesses have in common. Whether you are a freelance writer, a home daycare provider, a housekeeper, or any other home-based professional, your home-based business needs customers. Without customers, there can be no business. Since all home-based businesses need customers, any information that can help home-based business owners attract new customers and keep the business of existing customers is certainly worth sharing.
With this in mind, I feel that it important to share the details about a series of events that are being hosted by Entrepreneur Magazine. Entrepreneur Magazine will present its Online Marketing & Social Media Crash Course in six different cities this spring and summer. The event details can be found on the Entrepreneur Magazine web site. As is the case whenever I mention a specific product, service or company, I would like to let you know that Entrepreneur Magazine has not given me any compensation of any type in exchange for mention of there event here.
You probably know at least something about social media already. You may even use Facebook and Twitter already. These and other social media are very valuable tools that, when used properly, can generate interest in your business. If you happen to be near one of the six cities where the Entrepreneur event is taking place, you may want to attend and see what you can learn there. If you do not live near where the event is taking place, you may want to visit the Entrepreneur Magazine web site and read some of their articles about social media. They have a lot of great articles on the site, and while not all of the tips mentioned in the articles will be useful for all businesses, there is certain to be something there that you can use.
