When I ask creative professionals how they market their services, most say, \u201cWord of mouth.\u201d And they say it with pride!<\/p>\n

This makes me cringe every time.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Because word of mouth is not a marketing tool!<\/p>\n

A marketing tool is something you do. It\u2019s active. You control it.<\/p>\n

Word of mouth is the opposite.<\/p>\n

It happens to you. It\u2019s passive. And you can\u2019t control it \u2013 at all!<\/p>\n

In fact, \u201cword of mouth\u201d is nothing more than a euphemism for \u201ctaking whatever comes along.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that, sometimes, what comes along isn\u2019t all that bad; it may even be really good. But if that\u2019s all you\u2019ve got, if that\u2019s the foundation of your business, you may be in trouble and not even know it \u2013 until it dries up.<\/p>\n

That means you are at the mercy of whatever — and whoever — comes along, and that forces you to take on any project, whether it\u2019s right for you or not, even the clients waving bright red flags in your face.<\/p>\n

In the last recession, too many designers (and all kinds of creative professionals, for that matter) took a big hit when their biggest clients pulled back & took the work in-house (or their clients disappeared completely).<\/p>\n

People like you were left with almost no work. They had to scramble and take whatever they could find. Some are still in that position.<\/p>\n

This is no way to run a serious business. You don\u2019t have to rely on word of mouth \u2013 indeed you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

But there is another option.<\/p>\n

All it takes is one marketing effort per day.<\/p>\n

Discipline yourself to fit that effort in\u2014first thing if necessary\u2014before your day is hijacked by client work.<\/p>\n

You know now you need to be marketing your services regularly. You just need a little help\u2014a kick start, a nudge, a prompt.<\/p>\n
