It’s Okay to Ask for Help When Marketing Your Small Business Yourself

It’s Okay to Ask for Help When Marketing Your Small Business Yourself

Did you decide to dive into managing your small business’s marketing efforts in 2020 or 2021? If so, you’re not alone. According to Fundera’s Small Business Marketing Statistics and Trends (2021), 47% of small business owners are now handling their marketing entirely on their own.

Here at TTG, this is what we refer to as “DIY Digital Marketing,” and we’ve made it our mission to empower small business owners just like you with the digital skills necessary to see real returns on your online marketing efforts.

You see, when it comes to digital marketing for small businesses, we hear the same struggle often: “I don’t know what I don’t know.” While pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is great and all, navigating your small business’s digital marketing efforts is difficult, and no one expects you to do it all on your own. In these uncertain times, this much is certain: We all need help and support once in a while. Make it your resolution in 2021 to realize that we’re better together and know that it’s okay to ask for help from the experts!

Doing It Yourself Doesn’t Mean Going It Alone

From crafting and renovating at home to operating a small business, we live in an era of doing things for ourselves. “Doing it yourself” is a great way to learn valuable skills while simultaneously streamlining your budget. However, as a small business owner myself, I know the pressures that come with trying to manage everything on your own. We small business owners often end up wearing too many hats, which ends up compromising our efficacy, our time, and our money as a result.

The takeaway? When we find ourselves operating out of our wheelhouse, the most advantageous thing we can do is ask for help.

Here at TTG, we have a saying: “Doing it yourself doesn’t mean going it alone.” In 2020 we made it our mission to lift up other small business owners seeking to expand their digital marketing skills. We opened the doors to our wheelhouse with live training sessions and a mentoring service designed to empower you with expert insight into the digital sphere. As 2021 gets rolling, we look forward to helping you experience all the benefits of doing it yourself without having to do it alone.
