There are so many choices that many newentrepreneurs become confused. I’ve been there...and still find myself goingthere. Have you?   It canhappen in many different ways. Sometimes I start my day planning on doing onething, then I get distracted with something new that comes along...like anemail offer that’s too good to pass up. I’ve started opting of emails because I’mfinding them too distracting.   Anotherthing that happens to me is I listen to a top producer and think “that’s what I’lldo.” Then I listen to another one who’s doing something different, and think “that’swhat I’ll do.” Then I listen to anotherone who’s doing something else, and think “that’s what I’ll do.” Before youknow it, I have so many “that’s what I’ll do,” that I don’t do anything at all.   Thereare so many marketing strategies and someone is successful at them. But thefact remains that as a new entrepreneur, you don’t have the experience and knowhow to make them all work. So you have to be choosy about what you do.   Althoughthere are many marketing strategies to choose from, here are 5 strategies thatare common among top producers.   Irecommend that you start with just one, especially if you don’t have a lot oftime. But don’t do more than two.   Becomecomfortable with the one you pick, master it.   When you’re comfortable with the strategy, it will become second natureand you will become faster at it. Then add another strategy and master it.Repeat.   Thetop 5 marketing strategies of top producers are:   1.Social Media. Social media sites are free to set up.
