Your Questions About How To Do Share Business Online

Jere answers:

Step 1 would be to use some other operating system than Windows (you may already have taken this step — I don’t know).
Step 2: disable any guest accounts.
Step 3: make sure no regular user accounts have administrative privileges. Create a separate administrator account with its own password. Check through your user accounts to make sure your father doesn’t have an account he can use.
Step 4: disable file sharing and any other similar services, or at least figure out how to restrict them to authorized users (generally not terribly difficult).

However, if you’re on the same network with your father, he’s likely to be able to monitor network traffic and deduce some of what you’re doing. Whether he has the technical skills to do this is another question, but you should be aware that it is possible.

(Note: the steps I enumerated above are not actually in a strict order. You can do any subset of them in any order and still get some benefit.)

Call or visit five potential customers each day and ask them to register for your upcoming beauty news newsletter or entry into a contest for a $50 Amex gift card. That will give you up to 100 email addresses per month (1200 per year). Your mission needs to be getting sales not getting clicks on your website so make sure you have the right products at the right price at the right time. Offer samples. Let the products sell themselves. Ask if you can set up a folding table in their stores for 4 hours on one day to give samples and demonstrate your products to their customers. Create buzz. There’s alot of competition in the industry. Get to know the buyers personally through frequent contact without stalking. When you see an article of interest make a copy and mail it with a little post it note saying, “thought you’d appreciate this” and sign your name and phone # or attach a business card. You may want to write an article of your own and make it look published. Relate it back to your company. Write about a new product or some kind of press release. Have you taken on any new clients worth bragging about??? Follow up with buyers… A no today could be a yes in 3 months. Get some postcards printed (vistaprint) and mail out quarterly. Your marketing efforts are tax deductible. Take a buyer to lunch once in awhile and ask about their business, trends, fears, joys, etc. Partner with comparable businesses to share leads. Talk to dermatologists and fitness clubs to get your product name to the end users who in turn will ask for your products by name. Imagine when a couple people a day go to the drug store asking for XYZ brand cosmetics??? Get your name out there. Be the “go to” person for the industry. Don’t work hard… Work smart.

From reading your question, I think you would excel in marketing directly to human beings in the real world. You appear to a good energy level and an understanding of the importance of action to accomplish a goal. I would look for products to market targeted groups such as outside of large office buildings. The flaw in the thinking of the online marketing crowd is that they largely see a free lunch and are not coming to the job with a strong work ethic. Just the way you describe your circumstance as being the general economy and not “I am a victim” says a great deal about you as person. I would search for products of which you are knowledgeable and market those in person. I just do not like buying from a website or even from a tv infomercial. Now, if you are marketing financial products, including, insurance, you may be able to accomplish that via online. Just offer the customer that you are in compliance with state regulations to sell the product. Another approach, would be sell specialty baked goods to select restaurants in your market area.
