Starting a Business From Nothing

      Peace and Great Day everyone. This post is for everyone who's been meaning to start a business for years but, just don't know where to start. Some of us hate our jobs yet, we fight to get out of bed everyday to maintain our lifestyles. Some of us love what we do yet, just aren't making enough. This post is to help you succeed despite all odds. 

      The 1st thing you want to concern yourself with when going into business is consumer behavior. Next you have to think big. It's a numbers game. How many people can your round up and expose your brand to? Next, every major brand has similarities that are important for their success. With these 3 things in mind anyone can build a business out of thin air.

     To begin, you must use social media! Thinking about consumer behavior, everyone is always on Social Media. A lot of social media users also, access social media from mobile devices. Social Media is 50% of any marketing strategy. It's free, and it's a great way to round up a lot of potential customers and expose them to your brand. 

     Another way to expose people to your brand is via email. Mail Chimp has a free option that allows you to build your database and market to them via email. More free helpful stuff comes from Google. BLAM! is an Official Google Partner #PartnersConnect. Even before becoming a Google Partner, we were using Google's products for business. They provide a lot of useful free tools such as:

• Google Voice
• Google Drive
• Hangouts
• Google Analytics
• Google Webmaster Tools
• Google Documents
• Google Calendar 

There maybe a few we left off as well.Get Google for Business! now, it offers a service for $5 a month that gives you even more useful tools to use for promoting your business. We also Have Discount Codes to share with anyone who would like to use Google for Business!

     Please #Comment or Reply to this Blog post for your Discount Code for Google for Business.

    GoDaddy also has a lot of useful tools for business. Unlike Google however their services aren't free. We do have a Special Offer for you all for following our Blog. How Does 30% off of your purchase (It's Go TIME!) sound? Better than Full Price Correct? Well, you get what you pay for and Go Daddy has Great Customer Services and are Iron Clad when it comes to standing behind their products. 

      The reason the tools from Google and GoDaddy are so important is because it gives your brand "Brand Appeal" Instead of having an email like yourbrandsname@gmail.com you can have an email like info@yourbrandsname.com. You have video conferences with your staff and clients. Shared documents with your staff and clients via the cloud and more. It may not seem like much but, based on consumer behavior, these little add-ons can mean more business for your Brand. We Help You #Succeed! Thank You for Choosing BLAM!

Our 8th Year Anniversary. What's New With BLAM!

WHAT'S NEW WITH BLAM!

      Peace and Great Day All. Today is our 8th Anniversary of Being in Business. We appreciate all of you for your continuous support! We are making some changes to Help You All #Succeed! Which is our Latest Motto. We understand how intimidating it can be to start your own business. We also understand the financial pressures of everyday life. These are our two (2) main focuses on helping others succeed. To address these two (2) issues we've redone our website as well as created a new mobile app for our Brand. In this post we will explain how to use our new website and app to help you #Succeed. How to start or build your brand as well as how to manage the financial difficulties of Day to Day life. 

     

     Our New website is much easier to Navigate through. It now also has a plethora of information about Branding, Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Logo Design, Website Design and other marketing tools to grow and build your business. It also has more links to our blogs which has even more information about the aforementioned subjects. We intend on our new site to become Atlanta's #1 online source for Success. Therefore if anyone is interested in beginning a business and don't have a big marketing budget, they will be able to go to our site and use the information and succeed, without having to spend large sums of money. We also make it easy for anyone to contact us or follow us via social media if they have any questions or need some clarity about the information that we have shared.

     

      To help the ordinary person tackle the everyday financial difficulties we face from time to time, we've added Personal Credit Repair to our array of services. We understand that without Good Credit, you're missing out on life. You're also paying way more on car loans, mortgages, and more due to the lack of Good Credit. Our #PersonalCreditRepair service is a step by step simple process that erases negative marks, builds credit scores on all three (3) major bureaus, as well as how to maintain and continue to grow their credit score after we've completed the repair process. Again, if someone can't afford our services, we've provided links and useful information to help individuals begin repairing their credit without spending large sums of money. We Help You #Succeed

     Finally, we've created a new mobile app for our business to help our followers keep up with us on the go. Unfortunately the Mobile App doesn't have as much useful information on it as our standard desktop site but, it allows you to contact us from your mobile device, as well as follow us on social media where we post a lot of useful information about Marketing, Branding, Logo Design, Social Media Marketing, and more daily. We understand that most people are on the go and rarely have time to sit in front of a desktop.  We also understand that more people are accessing the web from mobile devices now, more than desktop computers.

BRAND APPEAL!

BRAND APPEAL!

     Peace and Great Day All! Thank you for Continuing to Follow our Blog! We're continuing to help you all succeed by delivering pertinent and effective information relevant to you and the success of your business. In this post we will discuss "Brand Appeal". What it is. How do you achieve it and How to use it to Generate Income! Let us begin Shall we?

     Brand or Branding comes from the Idea of Branding Cattle. When farmers brand their cattle, they can then tell the difference between their cows and the cows of other farmers. By burning their logo/name into their herd, they can easily identify there cows from among the Greater Heard! Now as for a Business building or becoming a Brand or being Branded, the idea is to be the 1st company your clients think about when they need products/services in your industry. Major Brands are also referred to as household names, which also denotes that they are the 1st company families think of when their homes' need any services/products from the industry of the Big Brand. So how does one become a Major Brand you ask?

     Becoming a major brand has changed throughout the years. At one time it just took money. The more money you had to market your business, the bigger your brand became. Now a day however having expendable sums of cash for marketing just isn't enough. With the invention of the internet and later social media, becoming a major brand has completely changed. Look at Facebook or one of those newly crowd funded businesses for example. They started out with little to no income and are now Household Names. What did they do to become major brands without having a big marketing budget you ask? They used Brand Appeal! Let me explain.

1. Start a business based off of a natural talent or a hobby that you're already making money from
2. Build Awareness about your new business
3. Establish Credibility among your following and clients

After following the steps mentioned above, You'll be at the brink of achieving Brand Appeal. So what's so appealing about brands? How do they do it. Well first we want to give you an example of a company with strong brand appeal. "Jordans" the Apparel Brand has strong Brand Appeal. Not only does the Marque person "Micheal Jordan" have appeal as a great professional athlete. The shoes by Nike also have Brand Appeal. With both of those combined, the "Jordan" brand has an incredible Brand Appeal. So incredible that clients will sleep outside in harsh conditions just to be the 1st to have the latest edition of "Jordans" So how do you get your clients to sleep outside of your business?

     Ha! Getting your clients to sleep outside your business like Nike or Apple is quite a feat yet, achieving Brand appeal not so much. So, to build brand appeal you have to make the things that make your brand stand out from competitors appealing. Like your Logo for example. Your Logo is different from any other businesses' logo. Classic Logos withstand the test of time and portray the message behind your brand without using words. Think about the Golden Arches of McDonalds as an example.

     After making the appealing cosmetic changes to your brand, the next key factors are building your audience and benefiting them. Benefiting them to the point that it's a "no brainer" for them to refer you to others. Brands that offer products/services that make the lives of others easier or compliments their clients' lifestyles will achieve Brand Appeal with consistent Great Business practices and Customer Service. Once again, thank you for following our Blog! We Really Appreciate It!

Our New Website Coming Soon! Thank You for Choosing BLAM! #TeamBLAM!

ATLANTA ACCELERATED

     Peace and Great Day Everyone. We are proud to Help Atlanta Accelerated Succeed! Atlanta Accelerated is a physical and mental fitness Company based in Duluth, GA. They 1st came to us for street team services. We distributed flyers and got attendees of the "For Sisters Only" event to sign up with Atlanta Accelerated's News Letter. We were very effective but, ATL Accelerated also wanted to sell tickets to their "Group Fitness" Event. The Tickets were priced at $500. We weren't aware of the exact details of the tickets until we arrived at the "FOS" event. Once there, I explained to one of the owners that it's gonna take more than a flyer and asking someone, to sell $500 tickets. That's when I gave her a brief consultation on what it would take and how to market her Brand as a major brand. The Light bulb went off in her head once I explained that she has to put herself in her potential clients' shoes. Would you buy something priced at $500 just after you purchased tickets to an event? Would you spend $500 on something that you wouldn't be able to take home with you the same day of your purchase? As well as, physical fitness is a very touchy subject. Some people aren't comfortable about speaking about their weight. Much less spend $500 on a physical fitness program. Once she thought about it and seen how effective we were at distributing the flyers and signing folks up, she agreed to reach out to us later for more of our marketing services to help her achieve a marketing platform similar to a major brand!

     Well, not too far from the "FOS" event ATL Accelerated reached back out to us for more of our marketing services. We are beginning with their online presence (SEO, Social Media Marketing/Following, Email Marketing, etc...) We will begin by building their Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram pages. Making sure their profiles are set up properly, educating them on how to use social media for business, and how to build their followers on each platform. Stay Tuned to see how It all works out for ATL Accelerated and how We Help Them Succeed!
