Day 1: Choose one goal
A goal is what you want. Choose one goal only. Give it a number and a date.
• Bad goal: "I want more customers."
• Good goal: "I want 30 new orders every month before December."
Write your goal on paper. Put it on your wall. Look at it every day.
Day 2: Know your best customer
You cannot sell to everyone. Think about your best customer. This person buys fast and pays on time.
Ask four questions:
1. Who are they?
2. What problem do they have?
3. Where did they first see you?
4. Why do they wait before they buy?
Now call three customers. Ask them: "Why did you choose us?" Write down their words. These words are gold.
Day 3: Write one strong sentence
Tell people what you do in one sentence. Use it in every post.
Copy this and fill it in:
We help [customer] get [good thing] without [problem].
Two examples:
- A pharmacy: "We help families in Hodan get real medicine in one hour, without leaving home."
- A tailor: "We help busy men get a new suit in three days, without coming to the shop two times."
Read your sentence to a customer. Do they say "Yes, that is true"? Good. Do they look lost? Write it again.
Day 4: Choose one or two places
Where are your customers? Go there. Do not try every app. Choose one or two and do them well.
| Place | Good for |
|---|---|
| Facebook and Instagram | Food, clothes, shops, home services |
| TikTok | Young people and short videos |
| WhatsApp Business | Talking to customers and taking orders |
| Google Maps | People who look for a shop near them |
| LinkedIn and email | Selling to other companies |
| Friends and partners | Services where trust is important |
A good start: one place to find new people, and WhatsApp to sell.
Day 5: Plan your posts for one month
Sit down one time. Plan all your posts for four weeks. Then you never ask, "What do I post today?"
Use four kinds of posts:
- Teach: answer a question your customers ask.
- Show proof: share a happy customer or a good result.
- Show your work: share photos of your team and your shop.
- Sell: say what you sell and how to buy it.
Post three times a week. That is 12 posts in one month.
Then make one special offer. For example: free delivery this month. Give it an end date. People buy faster when time is short.
Day 6: Plan your money and count your results
Your money. How much can you spend each month? Start small. Many businesses use 5 to 10 dollars from every 100 dollars they make.
Your results. Count three things every week:
1. How many people saw your posts?
2. How many people sent you a message?
3. How many people bought?
Ask every new customer: "How did you find us?" Write the answer in a notebook. Now you know what works.
Day 7: Write one page and start
Put your plan on one page. Then make your first post today.
| My plan | My answer |
|---|---|
| My goal | |
| My best customer | |
| My one sentence | |
| My one or two places | |
| My posts and my offer | |
| My money and my three numbers |
Every week, sit for 30 minutes and ask:
- What worked? Do it again.
- What did not work? Change it.
- Am I closer to my goal?
Do not stop after one week. Good marketing needs time. Give it one month.
