Avoid the post-holiday sales slump [and win a signed copy of Market Yourself]

Welcome to a brand-new video series!

Each week I’ll answer your creative-biz questions in a short video. Subscribe so you don’t miss a one.
(Got a question? Ask me!)

Today I answered Ana’s question:

How do I avoid the post-holiday sales slump in my online business?


If you can’t see the video, click here.

I have four suggestions for keeping your hard-earned holiday momentum rolling through the New Year:

  1. Keep the new people around.
  2. Offer them something new (that goes with what they already bought)
  3. Ask for the share.
  4. Plan for the slump.

We’re having a Name-This-Series contest!
To enter, put your best suggestion for a name in the comments on this post. Next week we’ll vote on it. (The ballot will be sent out here, so make sure you’ve signed up!) The winning name-suggester will win a free signed copy of my book, Market Yourself!

 

 

PS. Like my dress? Me too! It’s Megan, from Karina
