I really admire an entrepreneurial spirit. In this blog entry you will find so many tidbits that will help you succeed with your own business. We all know that advertising is a large part of making it big and this is obviously what I have done in order to have achieved such high status in the blogging world and urban culture in general.
When I first started out with my blog I found myself asking questions like: How do I get the word out? How can I make my blog the most unique in all the internets? How will I know when I have reached my urban goal?
What I did was devise a three phase advertising plan. This is a fool proof way that anyone can get their business launched.
Urban Woman Blog
3 Phase Fool Proof Advertising Plan
PHASE 1
- Learn to love myself so that everything I do is a success
- Cut out all of the haters in my life so that I don't receive any criticism for my creativity
- Play the slot machines at the local casino to earn some "start up" money
PHASE 2
- Create blog address (for those of you who don't know you should check it out: http://www.urbanwomanblogger.blogspot.com/)
- Vamp up my blog page using colours, pictures, and a template that Urban Women will not be able to resist
- Reward myself with a new lap dog, cell phone case, and a new Jennifer Aniston circa 1998 haircut
PHASE 3
- Spread the word about my blog by setting up an Urban Style booth in the local community. A location next to a lemonade stand, because people are more prone to pull over or stop and chat if there are impoverished charity case children begging for money in exchange for watered down lime-aid from their parents margarita party the night previous
- Ensure the booth is decorated in Urban fashion-stuffed animals, "police line do not cross" banners, flashing disco balls, and the obvious-tinsel.
- The booth should be stocked with trial sized mocktails, mocktail weinies, and brochures about Urban Woman. Food, bevies and give aways are a must when launching a business
- Talk to anyone and everyone that walks by under the guise that if they check out my website they are eligible to win a mega prize pack.
- Create mega prize pack using an old wicker picnic basket and fill it with streamers, glitter, buy one get one free coupons for Pay Less, and an Urban Woman bedazzled bandana and arm band (I usually just use one of those Lance Armstrong ones and write over the slogan with a sharpie)
- Sit back, relax, and wait for success!
As you can see I accomplished my goal in virtually no time at all. It was only later that I realised that I don't really have a business and I don't really gain anything from having people frequent my blog. The thing that is important to me is knowing that I have made a difference. You probably wouldn't be surprised to know that people are coming up to me on the streets like every other day chatting to me. Some people ask me how come I am so stylish, while others just ask me if I know the time. I bet they txt all of their friends after I tell them it is "wine o'clock" saying that Urban Woman is so totally LOL and funky.
Any of you Urban Women out there trying to get a business going I wish you all the success in the world. Spread the word!
Until next time,
Urban Woman and her blogging empire
