1. Focus on sharing your knowledge and on being helpful. That means not selling, but educating your prospects.
2. Create a website that goes beyond a brochure with blogs, videos, podcasts and useful info.
3. Update your website and start a blog. There’s nothing worse than going to a business’ Facebook page to see the last update was six months ago, as prospects will question whether you’re still in business.
4. Acknowledge you are who Google says you are.
5. Put aside time each week for your digital marketing and make it a habit.

4. Focus solely on digital marketing - it's not an either/or situation. Continue what you're doing with networking, advertising, and direct mail and start to integrate that with your digital marketing.
5. Avoid digital marketing – it's here to stay!
