But seriously: When it comes to marketing SmithWriting, I rely on tried and true networking through business events and conferences, targeted emails, and, yes, the occasional cold call (always geared toward someone who I believe could really use our writing services).

Until I can write and (gasp!) sing a really catchy tune like indebted bad hair guy, I’ll stick to old-fashioned, get-out-and-meet-people marketing. So far, it’s worked for me!
