We have all been there. We all started our businesses to help our clients, make money and still enjoy a great quality of life. Instead, many business owners find themselves working longer hours and not having any time to spend with their friends and family.

How does this happen? When business owners start a brand new business, they have few clients. Then they embark on a marketing plan that will help gain clients…

Do you want to start a membership web site for your business? I have been running my members-only online business coaching web site at MarketingSalad.com for a long time and here is what I recommend.
Before spending the time and other resources on creating a membership web site, I recommend doing something that you should do before introducing any new product or service.

You should evaluate the idea with your target market in mind and see if there is a demand for this product among your target market.

Here are some questions to help you evaluate your prospective membership web site further:

- Who is the target market for your membership web site?

- Can your reach enough people in your target market to promote the membership web site?

- What kind of benefits will you be offering to members?

- How many levels of membership are you going to have?

- What kind of content will you have?

- How will you be promoting your web site?

Once you answer these questions you will have a much more clear vision on what exactly you want to create and who you want to attract to your membership web site.

More and more people have been asking me how to teach people in groups. Coaches, consultants, tutors and other solopreneurs are looking to make money and get more clients by working with groups instead of just working with clients one-on-one.

So, how do you get started with teaching people in groups? The first two questions you should ask yourself are:

- Who are your target customers?
- What do they need help with?

These are the first two questions that you should answer before deciding on the group format, number of people in a group, pricing, etc.

If you do not know who your customers are and what they need help with, you will not be able to structure your offer effectively and, as a result, will not be able to get people to register.

Do the first thing you need to do is to find your target market. Once you do, find out what issues they are experiencing and what kind of help they need. To get the most people register for your group you will need to offer them something they really want. You will need to create a very compelling offer.

So, what are your target customers interested in? They are interested in solving problems that they are experiencing right now.

Therefore, the best way to get into working with groups is by starting a group on a topic that is of great interest to your target market.

Once you know your target market and once you find topics that your target market is interested in, it will be much easier for you to decide on the format, length and pricing for your group.

Many people have asked me - what is the best marketing technique to use to sell more books? If I start blogging, will I sell more books next week? Will article marketing sell 100 more copies of my ebooks?

Truth is, no marketing technique - blogging, search engine optimization, article marketing or any other one - will increase your sales immediately.

What you need to find out is how a particular marketing technique will fit into your overall marketing plan.

Many marketing techniques are designed to bring people interested in what you do to your web site. However, those techniques don’t account for what happens AFTER you bring them to your web site.

If you do absolutely nothing in addition to blogging, people will come to your blog, read it, linger for a bit and leave. This is because there will not be any incentive for them to stick around.

People are bombarded with tons of marketing messages every day. Many of your blog visitors will forget about your blog and its address two minutes after they leave it.

Therefore, it is imperative to make sure that you can collect the e-mail addresses of people who visit your blog. If you can get their e-mail address, you will be able to e-mail them, market to them, and sell your books to them long after they have visited your blog.

You should do this with every marketing technique you use - figure out how to use it to add people to your list, so that you can continue to market to them long after they have visited your web site.

Next week I am teaching a free teleseminar, 5 Steps To Selling More Copies Of Your Book Or Ebook.
I will be talking about creating a marketing plan to promote your book online and get more sales. You can register for the teleseminar FREE at http://www.avocadoconsulting.com/books.html

This is a question that comes up often with my clients.

Many coaches I know want to help many people that need their help, but can’t afford their one-on-one coaching rates. At the same time, coaches still need to make enough money to pay their mortgage and afford other things that their families need.

So how can you marry the two and come up with a win-win solution for everyone? You should do that by offering products and programs in different price ranges.

There are many people who need help, but can’t afford your services. There are thousands of them out there. If you only work with them one-on-one, you can’t help too many of them and you will not have as much time to work with your regular rate clients, the clients whose fees are helping you pay your mortgage.

Instead of doing that, create programs and products in different price ranges. Here is how:

- Create group coaching calls for people who can’t afford your one-on-one services. More people will be able to afford these and they will still get the benefit of being coached by you.

- Create a membership web site for your customers. I love this, and this is how many of my clients have chosen to work with me. They are members of my members-only web site, http://www.MarketingSalad.com where they have access to my coaching, teleseminars and expertise at a price much lower than my one-on-one coaching.

- Create and teach teleseminars. This is another great way to help more people in a shorter amount of time.

- Write an ebook or create other products, again more lower priced products to help more people.

Your products and teleseminars will enable you to help thousands of people, while still being able to generate revenue.

If you are thinking about publishing an ebook, now is the best time to do that! September is just around the corner, and in September many people will be looking for personal development and educational materials.

So if you have been thinking about creating an ebook, now is the perfect time to get started!

Here is the plan for publishing an e-book for you:

- Write the e-book

- Get the e-book proofread/edited

- Decide on the format you want to publish the e-book in. I recommend using PDF format. PDF readers are freely available for different computers and operating systems, so whoever buys your e-books will be able to read them.

- Decide on how you will sell the e-book on your web site. You will need to be able to accept credit card payment on your web site and, once they payment is processed, direct the buyer to the place where the buyer can download your e-book.

- Decide how to market your e-book. If you want people to buy your e-book, you will need to market it.

There are many marketing methods to market your e-book. They include creating a blog around your e-book, article marketing, search engine optimization and many more.

- Now put the pieces together and you are able to sell your own e-book online!

If you are about to launch an ebook, you should know that you can make lots of extra money by launching your ebook at the right time.

I have coached many business owners on writing, putting together and launching e-books. My clients ask many great questions when I work together with them on their e-books. They want to know how to write an e-book, how to format it, how to brand it and how to market it. But they usually do not ask an extremely important question. This question is about when to launch their ebook.

Every day I see coaches offering free coaching sessions and I just want to tell them to STOP! This is because offering free services is not a good way to get clients. Your time is valuable and you should only offer your coaching services to people when you are getting paid for them.

“But Biana” - I have heard many of my clients say when I told them not to offer free coaching sessions - “if we don’t offer a free coaching session, how do we find out I and the potential client are a good fit?”

This is a great question! It is important to make sure that there is a good fit for the two of you to work together. I recommend that instead of offering free coaching you offer a free “Getting To Know You Consultation” to people who are interested in your coaching services. Keep the session short, about 30 minutes and pre-qualify your clients before talking to them. Your time is valuable, so doing the pre-qualification work will help you see who is serious about working with you.

If you are not doing it yet, ask your potential clients to fill out a pre-consult questionnaire for me to get to know them better. Doing this also shows a commitment and interest from their side.

But what helped me even more to NOT offer any free services was creating products - E-books, Home Study Guides, Members-Only Web Site and Teleseminars.

When I get e-mails from prospective clients asking about my services, many times I can tell that the one-on-one service may not be appropriate for them. However, an e-book or some other product might be very useful.

When I am able to offer my products to people who can’t afford my services, or are on the fence about them, I am able to generate revenue from the situations that I would not be able to get anything out of if I only had my services to offer.

If you are a coach who offers ONLY services, I strongly recommend to look into creating multiple streams of income by creating and selling products in addition to services.

Both my husband and I love cooking and entertaining. So when we had friends over for dinner a few weeks ago, we cooked the whole dinner from scratch. We made roasted eggplant and red peppers with fresh basil and garlic as an appetizer. The entree was chicken parmesan with pasta and we made a great summer salad to go with it. Our guests loved our cooking!

Dessert is a whole different thing, though. Neither one of us likes to bake or make dessert (we like to eat it, though), so for dessert we had excellent cannoli from my favorite bakery.

While we can cook tasty meals and enjoy doing it, we know that we don’t like baking. When it comes to dessert we outsource it to someone who knows how to do it and can do it better than we can. And by doing this we can concentrate on things we enjoy, such as cooking and spending time with our guests, while knowing that we had great cannoli waiting for us for dessert.

To get best results for your business, it is important to define exactly what you are an expert at and promote your expertise. Discover how to promote your expertise by teaching, join me for the Make Thousands Of Dollars With Teleseminars Series that starts on August 1st.
