Re: Networking with a FT job and a PT Vbiz...how???
Fiona, your concerns are so normal with all the tugs on your time. Here are a couple of suggestions:
Make a list of what you want to do and assign time to each. Prioritize the list and begin implementation of those tactics.
Carry your business cards with you and leave them with businesses you frequent...or ask to leave several for other customers to take.
Set aside one night a week to attend a networking event to market your business to those you meet. Take their business cards and ask to put them on your mailing list.
In general, focus on what you CAN do rather than what you can't. Just chip away at the list you've made, even if it's one thing a week. The sense of confidence will really help you overcome the concern about not having enough time.
I sure do sympathize with you, especially with the little ones to care for. But the fact that you have the website and the social marketing tools demonstrates your ability to take the next steps. BTW, how did the 1 reply go for you? You must have done something right to get that response.
Others will probably have even better ideas, so I am looking forward to reading more.
