MSH #013: 12 Ways To Promote Yourself And Your Products The Minimalist Way

Alternative online marketing strategies to "typical selling".

Welcome to the thirteenth edition of the Minimalist Side Hustles newsletter.

Over the past 10 weeks, we have covered 10 different minimalist side hustles, and now it’s time to move on to some other content.

Everything will be related to building, growing, and monetizing minimalist side hustles.

Today we still start with some minimalist promotion strategies.

Why choose minimalist promotion strategies?

I don't like "typical" selling. I use these alternative strategies.

If I graded myself, I'd give myself a B for marketing and an F minus for sales!

Launches, self-promotion, sales, campaigns, and other flashy buzzwords don't really interest me.

Like most things, if I don't enjoy them, I avoid them.

I still need to earn money to make a living, so I've found some alternatives that work for me.

Some of these minimalist promotion strategies may work for you too!

Try these 12 minimalist promotion strategies.

1. Start a contest that involves subscribing to your newsletter or following you on social media (whichever you prefer) and give away a copy (or a few copies) of your product(s).

2. Create a post on social media about your offer.

3. Mention your offer in a blog post (on yours, someone else's, or Medium)

4. Create a "thank you" page after someone subscribes to your newsletter that offers a special one-time discount on your offer.

5. Add your offer to your social media profiles.

6. Promote your offer in your newsletter (try the P.S. section).

7. Swap offers with another newsletter owner or blogger (your promote theirs and they promote yours).

8. Go on a podcast and mention your offer.

9. Create a free challenge that mentions the offer throughout it.

10. Build your offer in public (transparency is the best policy).

11. Add your offer to your email signature.

12. Create an automated email sequence that promotes your offer(s) from time to time, and even gives special discounts (maybe based on holidays).

Choose the one(s) you think you would enjoy, they all work, you just need to pick the ones that won't stress you.
