<p>But for more times than I can count, the Pros lost again to the Aces, so now the rules have<img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h12/shannon3113/ezine/standoutfromthecrowd.jpg" title="Stand out from the crowd" alt="Stand out from the crowd" align="right" height="276" width="209" /> changed and individual blogs, including this one, need to come up with the best business advice for Kay. So here goes:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Market yourself everyday.</strong> It isn’t enough to make a great product or service. You need to tell others about its existence. Make marketing an essential and ongoing activity for <strong>the life</strong> of your business. Most experts say to dedicate 20% of your time and profits into marketing tactics.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal">I even made that mistake when I started out. (Yup, me &#8211; a professional marketer.)  When things were going well, I stopped marketing myself. And you know what happened?  When all the business stopped, I was back at the beginning marketing all over again. So today, I make sure I schedule 6 hours a week (I work abouts 30 hours) focusing on marketing myself through blogging, press releases, article marketing, websites, email and more.</p>
