Back when I just started teaching, I realized that different students learned differently. Some came to every lecture and wrote down every word said by the teacher and used their notes to study later.
Others never took any notes — instead they just listened intently in class. Yet others never bothered showing up at the lectures and read the textbooks instead. Some articles I have read recently report that now students rely on audio/video recordings of the lectures…

If you have been reading newspapers, watching television or reading online news sites, you have probably seen articles noting that the US economy is not doing as well as before. Consumers are not spending as much money as before, and they are buying less. This means that many business owners are not able to generate the same level of revenues…

One of the recommendations that I make to my clients who want to increase their business revenues is to raise their prices. When you raise your prices, you will increase your revenues without doing any extra work — you do not have to take on more clients, you do not have to spend more time doing work and you do not need to increase your sales.
As you can see, raising your rates is one of the best ways to increase your business revenues. As your experience increases and your expertise grows, your help and advice becomes more and more valuable to your clients. The more value you provide, the better you should be compensated for it. The only way you can be better compensated for what you offer is by asking for higher rates for your services, products and live events…

I am sure you have heard many times from many different sources that having a large e-mail list is going to help you increase your revenues and be more successful. What I haven’t seen discussed nearly enough, though, is the process for going from having a large list to actually getting more one-on-one clients and selling more products.
Having a large list is great, but you need to be able to get what you actually need from your list: one-on-one clients and product sales. There is absolutely no point to have a list of 10,000 subscribers if you do not know how to turn them into customers…

Many professionals I know have found a new approach to solving an old problem that their target market experiencing. Once they turn this approach into a program or book or a class, the question becomes how to sell this brand new approach to their potential customers.
Do you market and sell it by concentrating on the approach? Or do you do something else?
I recommend that instead of focusing on the new approach, you should focus on what your customers get when they learn and apply this new approach.
Always remember that your customers want to know what’s in it for them, what the value is of what they will receive and what the benefits are going to be. They are much less interested in a brand new revolutionary approach; they are much more interested in the results they will receive get when they use it.
My recommendation to you is to market using benefits, and explain about the new approach and how it works after you have explained the benefits.
This is how I teach my clients to create winning sales letters - first you explain the benefits of whatever you are selling. Only after you explained the benefts you should explain what you are offering (new approach, e-book, seminar, etc). Benefits always come first.

Are you a coach, consultant, virtual assistant of any other service professional? Chances are, services that you offer come with a high price tag, and it is hard to convince someone who just
met you or came to your web site to buy those services.
If a service you are offering is expensive, it is not an impulsive purchase for your clients. When you are selling your services you need to convince potential clients that they really need what you have to offer. The best way to do that is by building a relationship with them.
People buy from people they know, like and trust. You will have more opportunities to convert potential clients into actual clients the more potential clients you have who know, like and trust you…

Many service business owners go through the goal setting exercise every year only to see themselves not reach any of their goals by the year-end. At some point they give up and decide not to set goals any longer.
Not setting goals is a mistake, because all of the successful business owners I know actually set goals. The secret to using your goals to make your business more successful is setting realistic goals, checking in with your goals on a regular basis and working hard to achieve them.
Here is a plan to help you set goals that actually help your business and will help you achieve your goals:

Your web site is the place where you do business online. That is where people can sign up for your newsletter, read your blog, buy your products and register for your teleseminars. You need people to come to your place of business to transact business online, which means you need web site traffic.
And you don’t need just any web site traffic. Random, untargeted web site traffic will not produce any results. If you want to sell your products and services you need your target customers to come to your web site, learn about you and contact you about your products and services…

Do you need MORE web site subscribers? One of the best ways to get more people to subscribe to your newsletter is by offering a free gift.
If very few of your web site visitors subscribe to your newsletter, you are not alone. Many coaches, virtual assistants and other service professionals have told me that it is very hard for them to convert their web site visitors into newsletter subscribers. They have told me that they get enough traffic, and they can see that a majority of that traffic are their target customers, but it is hard to convert this traffic into newsletter subscribers. And if you can’t convert your web site traffic into subscribers, you can’t keep in touch with them and you can’t market to them in the future….

If you are reluctant about marketing your business, article marketing might be the best technique for you to use to get clients.
Do you become reluctant when it comes to marketing your business? Do you put marketing on the very bottom of your To Do list, secretly hoping that you will not get to it?
You may be happy when the end of the day comes and you didn’t get to the marketing task. However, because you did not do your marketing you are not bringing prospects to your business and you are not developing new clients.
I have worked with many clients who have been very reluctant to market. They were afraid to get out there and talk to people about their business. To help them overcome their reluctance about marketing, I have taught them a marketing technique that is easy to apply even if you would rather avoid marketing altogether. Article marketing is that technique.
