July 2011 - Marketing Tool Must Haves
If you are going to make it as an entrepreneur or an author-preneur, there are some tools you definitely need in your possession to stay on top of your game.  Many of these tools and resources are completely free, while some are very reasonably priced.


Check them out below and set yourself and your product up for success!


Square
Don't miss another sales opportunity because your customer only has her credit or debit card as a form of payment.  With Square Up, you can can easily accept credit cards with your IPhone, IPod Touch, IPad or Android device. Just plug the device into your headphone jack and swipe the card. Easy as pie and you get paid! Setting up an account is quick, easy and FREE.  And payments are made daily - no waiting until the end of the month for sales.

Customized Banners
Increase and accelerate your business, your book or your brand with a customized, animated and/or interactive banner, ready to embed on your website. Banners come in a wide variety of sizes to fit on your website or blog, from leader boards to skyscrapers, and every size in between. Here's a sample of one I created for myself which takes customers straight to Amazon.com. Direct customers to your site or your payment page with a banner.

Mailing Lists and Opt-In Forms
Keep a track of your customer base by setting up a mailing list. You will be able to easily update your fans, customers or clients with your latest gossip, news, reviews, or releases.  I'm partial to Vertical Response over Constant Contact, simply because Vertical Response offers a pay as you go feature, rather than being subscription based.  While the account set up is completely free, it only costs me pennies on the dollar to send my readers and clients a newsletter or email.

PayPal
PayPal is a service that enables you to pay, send money, and accept payments without revealing your financial information, and boasts more than 94 million users, including reputable businesses such as Barnes and Noble, Northwest Airlines, and Dell Computers just to name a few.  

Setting up an account is quick, easy and FREE; even the business or premiere account (which you will want to have!) The business account also allows you the privelege of having a PayPall - just click here www.PAYPAL.com
