The first ever virtual Self-Promotional ADVENT Calendar is launched

The entrepreneur's essential advent calendar to inspire and motivate!

• 99% micro entrepreneurs (ie 1- 5 people in the business) surveyed have issues around self-promotion and promoting their own businesses.

• The following responses came up with the entrepreneurs surveyed: 29% of respondents lack the confidence to self-promote, 64% are unsure of what to say or do in terms of self-promotion, 29% think other people will judge them for showing off and 70% do not know where to self-promote.

• These findings clearly indicate that the ‘soloprenuers' are in need of some help in order to get their businesses more visible.

Step in the Entrepreneur's Essential Advent Calendar...

This is the brainchild of Amanda Ruiz (also known as The Ultimate Door Opener) who trains entrepreneurs how to secure publicity in order to increase their exposure in their industry online and offline. She has created a proven process calledThe 7 Secrets on How to get into the Pressand mentors her clients from 3-6 months so that they walk away with the confidence to pitch to the press and deliver succinct pitches at their networking events as well as learning key skills in marketing a small business.

Amanda says:

"I speak to entrepreneurs daily and almost all of them simply lack the confidence to promote their own businesses. The business owners spend so much time creating beautiful websites, sourcing amazing stock or developing excellent packages for coaching but the last and vital piece in the jigsaw puzzle is missing which is why they come to me for help in getting visible and ‘out there".

Amanda created theSelf-Promo calendarafter the success of her 30 day Self-Promo challenge which saw entrepreneurs securing guest blog posts in leading industry publications, client video testimonials and new enquiries and opportunities coming their way as they learnt some new key skills...all of which are not taught at school or university, especially as most entrepreneurs have not done business studies degrees, they are pursuing passions having left the corporate world.
