How to Successfully Market Myself.
I know all the ways…
For the last few months I have been looking for FINANCIAL SPONSORSHIP, for several worthy projects.
• to promote & sell my HUMOUR E-BOOK,- “Humour-Therapy, Instantly!!!”,
• get more bookings for Humour Doctor “Dr. Happy M.D.”
• upgrade the status of HUMOUR & HEALTH HOUSE (Academy) to financial profits.
• effectively syndicate my column: “Humour for YOUR Health”.
• compensation to present and attend a Humour Conference in April, in Orlando, Florida.
April is Humour Month, you know!
My PRESS RELEASES have, made it to Google under

b.
Humor/Humour for YOUR Health, Columns/Miss-SUZETTE.com
and
c.
AATH/Miss-SUZETTE/Remember, Whaaat!
I’m tickled every time I Google myself…WE EXIST!
As you read this, you realize this individual is working overtime, trying to promote themselves, their business, even now…It is obvious, NOT ENOUGH ASSISTANCE HAS COME HER WAY, as yet.
It makes you ask, Why?
What is she doing wrong?
Who should this lady be contacting?
How should have, this business woman, more effectively, promoted and marketed herself/her business/her projects/ instead?
•She’s done everything from writing to Millionaires, to Members of Parliament, to apply for Grants.
•Promoted and pitched her humorous ideas to Corporate Organizations.
•Lost friends, asking them for money!
Has she missed asking YOU?
Then she realized: “THE BEST WAY TO MARKET YOURSELF AND RECEIVE MONEY, IMMEDIATELY,
IS TO PULL OUT YOUR OWN CHECK BOOK AND WRITE YOURSELF A CHECK.”
So I’ve written myself a check for $5.000.00.
But I will wait to cash it. Until I have the money in my bank account.
In the meanwhile, as I continue to market my needs, I also have to think of a brilliant excuse, to let the Humour Conference People know, why I couldn’t attend, to give my presentation.
When do I officially, cancel myself?
The sooner the better. Give them a chance to replace me.
That is just common business courtesy and professionalism….
Someone has to die, that is the only believable excuse I can give the Conference people, for my no show…what else is believable?
Then, as I talked to a prospective contact for possible funds, who turns out, wanted MY business, thus, I asked him if he had any believable cancellation excuses.
He’s affable answer is definitely my only choice:
“Make it a positive excuse….Tell them you are so overbooked, that you cannot get away…You are so much in demand, that you just cannot go to the conference…”
Yes, that’s right: “I have a paid client, who is begging me to stay and assist them on a pilot project that needs a re-write, a punch up…they are pleading with me to help out…” (Must add more details, but not too much…to make it sound real!!!)
SO, WHERE IS MY OBLIGATION?
Attend the conference, where I have a 45 minute Early Bird Breakout Session, ( and will cost me $3,000.00 to go) or with my CLIENT???
What would you do?
GUESS you would want to help, whoever needs it most….in this case my client. (Could this client, be YOU?)
So, it appears, that I will not be attending the conference, and I will apologize.
And I could suggest that I might do my presentation, “Remember, Whaaat?!?” via live stream???
But just between you and me---I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO EVEN PAY FOR THOSE EXPENSES, BECAUSE FOR SOME INCREDIBLE REASON--I DID NOT FIND A FINANCIAL SPONSOR, WHO wishes to SUPPORT, “HUMOUR - US”, AT THIS TIME?
What does this mean?
My Marketing Approach needs to be Redefined?
Did I not position myself inside YOUR EMAIL?
Should I have followed up, differently?
What advice would I give YOU, if YOU NEEDED A Financial Sponsor with $3-5,000.00 immediately?
Yaaahhh, that would be the perfect MARKETING STORY…
I have a few more days for my MIRACLE- FIN
