Over the next 10 posts (on Tuesdays and Thursdays), here in Marketing 101 on BoDo, I’ll be addressing 10 common mess ups graphic designers make when trying to build their practice. Simply put, don’t do these. Leave that for the other guy or gal.

• Misstep Number One – Not doing anything
• Misstep Number Two – Not having a plan
• Misstep Number Three – Not focusing on a niche or specialty
• Misstep Number Four – Not understanding your audience
• Misstep Number Five – Placing all your hopes and dreams in one activity
• Misstep Number Six – Nervous rabbit syndrome
• Misstep Number Seven – Not having a referral system in place
• Misstep Number Eight – Not marketing to current clients
• Misstep Number Nine – Not leveraging the power of your business and personal network
• Misstep Number Ten – Forgetting that even though you’re a Graphic Designer, you’re really in the business of marketing … for both your practice and your clients.
