Okay, so you’ve taken the time to fine-tune your company, and now you’ve got the best product/service out there, hands down. So you throw a website together that dishes all the glorious features of your product/service, and you sit back and wait for the orders to start rolling in. Only they don’t. As time rolls by, you get more and more discouraged and start thinking about scrapping this whole working for yourself thing and go back to 9-to-5 cubicle hell.

Wait! Before you throw in the towel, consider this: maybe your product/service really is the best out there, but you just haven’t been able to communicate effectively with your target market.

Consumers are bombarded with thousands upon thousands of advertising messages everywhere they turn these days: billboards that flash by on their way to work, little boxes that pop up when they’re surfing the ‘net, and let’s not forget the TV ads that are so conveniently ignored with the help of DVR (although you can’t get away from them completely – you still get the gist of the message as your eyes are glued to the screen, waiting for your favorite program to restart).

My point is that you have unlimited competition when it comes to catching and holding onto your target market’s attention. You can’t be subtle; you have to basically throw your message right up in your audience’s face and hope that it’s interesting enough to leave them wanting more.
