Just a few of our happy reader reviews:
“An easy read, which explains simple, free and effective strategies to leverage your great client reviews. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I wasn’t effectively using my company’s reviews and client testimonies. With the Fans on Fire System, I now have a system and strategy for not only getting more customer reviews, I’ve also got a way to manage them. I’ve learned, that not only are legitimate online reviews marketing tools, so are service awards! There’s simple action steps to implement at the end of each chapter, examples and templates to use and resources for staying up to date with online review websites and social media. Thank you!” – Amazon Customer

With a shrinking market for good, high-paying jobs, the old model of getting a full-time job right out of college just doesn’t work for all graduates. Start a small business while you are still in school and graduate with more than just a degree, real small business experience!
Then while other graduates are worried about competing for fewer good jobs, your part-time small business can become your full-time venture, an asset to sell, or a second source of income. And if you decide to jump in the shark tank with the other grads, your small business experience will shout “hire me” from your resume’!
I love this article by Joel Gascoigne, the creator of Buffer. This is a similar message to what I share when I speak to high school and college students. You’ll never get a better time in your life to create a business then when you are still in school.
Here are just a few of the advantages student entrepreneurs have:
– You can schedule your business building work hours around your classes.
– You have time to try or experiment with several different ideas in case one doesn’t work.
– You get to utilize school resources, teachers, equipment etc. Some maybe for free or already paid for by your student fees.
– You have low to no overhead! Possibly operate from your dorm room or a college business incubator (Yes, I know it’s not technically allowed to have a business in a dorm room, but sometimes you have to bend the rules to create something new).
– You likely don’t have the pressure of having a family, lots of bills, or other big life responsibilities.
Join me, Joel and many others to encourage students to consider starting a business while they are still in school. I have a lot more information to help student entrepreneurs…those posts will be coming out soon! Sign up below to get notified when I post a new article!
Here is an exclusive excerpt from my online course: Fans on Fire! Build Your Business With Online Reviews. Rather than keep it secret and open to my course attendees only, I thought I would share it with you! So here are some of my top tips and links for leveraging your businesses online reviews:
Facebook: Make sure your business page is listed as a local business or use an app that allows reviews. Admins currently have the ability to respond to reviews. You also have the ability to remove the review or rating system as well. – Adding ratings and reviews to your business page https://www.facebook.com/help/589747184405742
Twitter: Start a hashtag like #yourbusinessnamereviews so you can collect as many positive reviews that are easily searchable. Favorite those tweets as well. Research shows that positive tweets from customers lead to more business.
Yelp – Yelp may be the most challenging of review sites to master. They have this super secret formula for what reviews they will make public or not. For example, in my DJ company, we had 3 public reviews being shown and 10 hidden ones. All of them were legitimate reviews of course, but the Yelp filter took them out. But keep working at it. Yelp shows up very high in Google so you want as many Yelp reviews that you can get. For example, in the DJ market, our Yelp listing made it to the bottom of page 1 in Google. Before we started with Yelp, the Yelp listing in Google didn’t even show up in that local DJ search.
How do you get those filtered or hidden reviews to show up? The number 1 way is to get your customer more involved in other Yelp reviews. Respond to the review, friend the customer on Yelp, like the review and send them a message through Yelp asking them to review other businesses. Yelp is suspicious of reviewers that sign up, leave one review and never return to the site. Those reviews will likely be hidden. Hidden reviews can come back to life, show up publicly and then disappear again! Yelp even has a policy against asking the customer directly for reviews!….the only review site that I know of that has that policy! That’s a “policy” that I say you need to bend…keep asking your happy customers to review you on Yelp! Here is an article with more tips on filtered reviews in Google and on Yelp: http://www.localvisibilitysystem.com/2013/06/27/the-afterlives-of-filtered-google-plus-and-yelp-reviews/ In one study of Yelp by the Harvard Business School an increase of just one star for a restaurant lead to a 5 to 9% increase in revenue. http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6833.html
