Is your business in balance? Or are you working on 25 projects and 15 marketing initiatives at once, all while thinking: “I should really be using this brand new social networking site that I just heard about!” ?

If that sounds like you, it is time to re-think how you do business and see if you can prioritize your actions, while still accomplishing everything.

Here are some of the things I do in order to achieve more balance in my business:

- Automate everything that I can. Lots of things can be automated online - scheduling of blog posts, automatic product fulfillment, ezine software, etc.

Take action: Take advantage of technology to automatically get people subscribing to your list, downloading your products, registering for your classes, etc.

- Outsource tasks that I don’t enjoy doing and can’t automate.

Take action: Take a look at everything you are doing and see which ones can be outsourced.

- Long term scheduling. I always know what’s coming up for my business for the next 6+ months. That way I can plan the tasks I need to do, marketing I need to do, etc.

When you know what’s coming up long term, you can schedule backwards. For example, if one of your goals is to have an ebook written by the end of October, 2008, you know that there are tasks that need to get done every month/week/day in order for this to happen.

Take action: Create your marketing plan!

- Multiple streams of income. Creating products, such as seminars, ebooks and my mentoring program has really improved my work/life balance.

I can have as many or as few one-on-one clients as I want. (I usually have 3-7 clients at any given time), and I don’t put my marketing efforts into getting one-on-one clients.

Instead, my marketing is concentrated on getting leads for my business.

Take action: Create multiple streams of income for your business!

Many people have asked me how to price their ebooks. Should you price them high? Should you price them low? Should you price them somewhere in the middle?

I have seen ebooks priced as low as $7 and as high as $297. It is all about three factors - how much value your ebook offers, how well you can sell it (your sales copy + marketing) and how many people you can reach with your marketing.

Pricing is never exact and it is all you, your expertise, your market and your marketing abilities. Sometimes I advise my clients to have an introductory ebook offer and then raise prices afterwards. Sometimes you want to price it higher as soon as you release it and keep marketing at that price.

If you under price your product, your potential customers will be suspicious since you are offering a deal that seems too good to be true. If you overprice your product, you will not get many sales.

There are many factors that go into pricing of your product:

- The purpose of the ebook and the value of the ebook

- The topic of the ebook - is it very specialized or very general?

- Market and competition research. How do you distinguish yourself from others? Do you have a unique twist on the concept that makes the ebook/ideas/methodology uniquely yours?

Here are a few more ebook pricing resources for you:

- Free article, Are You Pricing Your Products Wrong?

- A step-by-step guide for creating, publishing, pricing and marketing ebooks, Make Thousands Of Dollars With Ebooks Home Study Guide

- Online business mentoring program, MarketingSalad.com. There I teach members everything about creating ebooks and marketing them online (and much more!). As a member you can ask me for recommendations for pricing your own ebooks and other products.

If you are a coach, chances are you have been thinking about teaching a workshop. However, what stops many coaches from actually offering a workshop is not being able to get any participants. How can you get enough participants for your coaching workshops?

Truth is, the marketing part is the most important and hardest part of putting together a workshop. You need to have a marketing plan and start planning for marketing early on.

No one will be as effective as you are at promoting your workshop. This is because you have the unique knowledge of your market, their issues and the benefits that your workshop will bring them.

In order to market your workshop successfully you will need:

- Make Sure That Your Target Market Needs And Wants Your Workshop. In order to successfully sell your workshop you need to be sure that the people you are selling it to (your target market) need, want and can afford it.

If they have no need for what you have to offer, you will not be able to sell the workshop.

- Be Able To Reach Your Target Market. In order to sell your workshop you need to be able to reach the people who want to buy it, your target market.

You need to have a list of your target market that you can contact. If you haven’t started building your list, get started now. This is a single most useful thing you can do for your coaching business.

- Create Effective Sales Copy. When you bring your target market to your web site to sign up for the workshop, you still need to convince them to register.

This is why you need to write good, benefits-oriented web copy about your workshop. The copy needs to convince your target market to register for the workshop by showing them all the benefits they will receive when they attend the workshop.

December is an interesting month for many coaches, consultants, virtual assistants, professionals organizers and other self-employed solopreneurs. This is because in December people have to spend a lot of money on gifts, so they are budgeting and looking for ways to decrease their spendings on other things. When they do this, they usually cancel the professional services they pay for, such as coaching, professional organizing, services of virtual assistants and more.

As December is approaching, I have been hearing from many coaches whose clients are taking a break in December. Coaches report that 20-50% of their clients are taking a break, thus the coaches are getting 20-50% less revenue in December.

So what do you do if you have no clients and plenty of time in December? Spend the time on creating a teleseminar or teleseminar series that you can teach in January!

In January plenty of people are going to be looking for support with their lifes and careers. Create a teleseminar around the problems your potential clients will be experiencing in January, and you will be able to have a very profitable January.

What kind of teleseminars can you create? Here are a few examples:

- A financial coach can create a teleseminar on how to pay off the holiday debts faster

- A fitness coach can create a teleseminar on how to get rid of those extra pounds that people gained eating food during the holidays

- A life coach can create a teleseminar on how to finally reach your new year resolutions

Start working on creating your teleseminar now, so that you can announce it in January!

The Hollywood writers have been striking since Monday, November 5th. This action sent late night talk shows into re-runs immediately.

What is interesting is why the writers are striking. According to this article, writers are striking because they are looking for more profits from when their writing is used in new media. They want to earn money when their work is sold on DVDs, when their work is a part of online shows, etc.

As you can see, writers are paying attention to the Internet and new media and want to profit from it. And what they are looking for is a true passive income - they write their copy once, and they want to make money every time it is used or sold through the new media.

What about you? Are you creating passive income streams? Are you using the new media to profit? Here are some of my blog posts to help you create more products and profit from them online:

- How To Publish Your Ebook Online

- How To Record Your Seminars And Use The Audio As A Product

- Create Another Income Stream By Teaching People In Groups

Have you ever heard the saying, “If you want to learn how to do something really well, teach it to others”? When you teach others, you usually gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the material that you teach.

Teaching teleseminars is an extremely versatile marketing technique. This is because it is very easy to use teaching to promote your expertise both online and offline…
