The Tax Goddess Blog

Asking questions (internal, external, and personal marketing!)

Marketing.  Now, why would a CPA talk about marketing, especially in the busiest time of the year for a CPA.

I enjoy it.  I love meeting new people, going to Chamber events, talking about the new trends, upcoming ideas (like blogging), and just in general getting out there.  Don't forget, these are great places to meet new prospects, or even people that can get you new prospects (BNI call these people bunny farmers).

Have you ever asked your clients what they want?  What they are looking for?  Have you even thought about it?  Why are you in business other than to give clients what they want!

Just a quick posting to remind you, ask what your customers want, your employees want, and what you want!  It's just as important as getting that new client thru the door.

How to make $ using a Blog!

Hi Everyone,

Dave Barnhardt is the Blogging Guru.  His Blog Business Blogging Pros had a post the other day that speaks to the benefits of blogging versus just a normal wesbite (see here)

I agree wholeheartedly with Dave!  Plus, I think Blogging is a great way to bring clients to a new business.  Imagine, by posting your daily thoughts, how your business is operating, tips and tricks, techniques of how you run your business, and even personal issues and questions other people in the blogosphere will find you and respond!  Hopefully, even find a need for your business product (now that you've built a budding relationship with that reader!)

Once again, remember that making money also means that you can deduct additional expenses - there goes your internet as a business expense, maybe even a home office!  Ah the joys of marketing with a bit of your time.  Not only does it bring you new clients, it allows you to write off more!

Dave, keep rocking it and helping business owners setup their Blog's and new methods to greater earning power for their businesses!
