1. Pick a niche. Choosing a niche market will help you focus your resources to market your business efficiently and effectively.
2. Craft your message. Identify the unique needs of your prospects and describe how your services will solve their problems.
3. Build a website. A website is the single most important marketing communication tool and should be developed in the first months of any new business.

5. Become an expert. Highlight your expertise in your niche market through blogs, articles, speaking engagements, social media and public relations.
