“Have the courage to be yourself
and it will be ok.”

Where Do I Start?
1. Website is KING (absolute focal point of all online
marketing)

incredibly under-utilized as a marketing tactic– “The most effective use of social media is to help capture
email addresses for further engagement.”
3. Content management is greatest key to success– Need to produce enough content
– Need to produce the kind of content that engages
– Focus should be on creative content (Coca-Cola is an example)
