A new source for getting prime prospects contacting you?
Last week a lady phoned me to see if I was interested in Subscribing to a monthly glossy magazine for business owners on the subjects of accounting and marketing.
I said I thought probably not because I keep myself switched on to what's happening in the marketing world.
And mentioned people from around the world pay me for my marketing advice.
However I enquired who wrote the articles on marketing.
Turns out it is a guy who I think has spent time at university.
Then the lady said would I like to write for the magazine.
Said I don't know if the readership is my market.
She then offered to send out some past issues.
After browsing through them, I still don't know if the readership is a good fit to me.
So this brings up the possibility to actively go searching for special industry magazines and offer to write articles for them.
You get to put your bio and call to action at the bottom,
just like the signature link we have under our posts.
What staggered me about the magazine for small business owners was how dry and boring the articles are.
Yet they pay a high amount to have it sent to them.
They aren't available in stores. It supports 2 staff members that I do know of.
The writers are not paid, but get their "about me" section.
If you know your subject well and have no trouble talking and writing about it,
then having your articles in print is another way to display your expertise and have qualified people contacting you.
You will be marketing in a vacuum because there will be no other in your field having free access to them.
This is a rarity these days.
Might help you if you like the idea of prime prospects contacting you.
Best,
Ewen
