Because, if someone else took care of it, I would miss out on all the important stuff I am supposed to learn through the experience of getting out there. For those who have received my newsletter in the past, you have read…

Marketing Tip: 10 ways to keep them coming back for more

Many small businesses (mine included) have trouble getting recurring income. For example if you sell a product that lasts a long time (durable good) then it is challenging to get your past customers to come back because they have what they need and probably won't come back until they need to replace that product or WORSE, they buy a new one somewhere else.

You can almost buy anything anywhere so...

1) Diversify your product mix to include both…
