Recently I was contacted by a client who was frustrated that
her marketing efforts were not producing results like she
expected. In an attempt to address her concerns, I realized how
many other professionals are in the same boat. What follows is
an open letter to professionals everywhere who are struggling
to attract new clients and make money online.
Dear Entrepreneur and Professional:
First, let's address the issue of finances. I understand fully
what it is like to invest in your own business, work hard, and
see little income. Sometimes it seems as if you work for
pleasure, and indeed there is much pleasure involved. It's not
unusual for entrepreneurs to be passionate about their business
and services and many would do what they love for free.
But it can't work that way, and you must see the money or your
business will perish. Finally, after a couple of years of
trickle income, we are now seeing results in our own online
business, and are making a comfortable living solely from
information and services sold on the Internet.
It takes time. And it involves having lots of digital
information products people can buy and download instantly. In
order to sell them, you have to have a powerful web presence
and be easily findable to the millions of people who Google for
solutions to their problems.
People can't find you with just a web site. You need a blog,
and you need to write on it frequently - daily is best; two to
three times per week is good. An electronic newsletter, or
ezine, is also a great marketing tool, and it needs to be
posted on the Web, or on your blog.
You need to write and submit articles to article directories so
people can find you better. Your articles need to include
contact information and links back to your website and
products.
You need the infrastructure in place so you can follow up with
automated email messages to people who contact you requesting
information, purchase your products and register for your
events.
It's a good idea to do teleclasses, some for free, so you build
your list, connect with people and get them into your higher
priced seminars.
There are other business models, and I am most familiar with
what I have done myself, and helped other entrepreneurs to do.
When Denise and I joined Tom Antion's Mentee Program, it was a
considerable financial commitment. We send him a check every
month out of our earnings, which are steadily increasing thanks
to his tutelage. It's worth it to learn and model what works
from one who has been there and is a multi-millionaire.
As the saying goes, you can't get to Carnegie Hall without lots
of practice, and that takes an investment of time, patience and
money.
There are no easy solutions. Continue doing what works and
invest in those areas of your business that provide the biggest
payoff. Get training. Invest in the infrastructure and tools
that allow you to save time and market effortlessly. Avoid
overwhelm by implementing tools slowly, getting used to one and
observing your results before going to the next step. Building a
business on the Internet is not about getting rich quick. It's
about hard work and persistent effort that will pay off in the
long run.
