Multiple Streams of Income For A Service Business

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007
 

Do you want to stop exchanging your time for money, and make money without working 70 hours every week?

If that is your goal for your service business, you should look into using a multiple streams of income business model for running your business. To me this is the ultimate business model for those who are looking to not exchange time for money, but to still earn a good living.

The idea is to create products (books, e-books, reports, audio recordings, seminars, etc), with each product being a new income stream. Now you are not just earning money from your services, but you are also earning them from each one of your multiple income streams.

Many of my income streams are completely automated – my buyers can buy my reports, e-books and audio recordings without any involvement on my part. My shopping cart processes the payment and allows the buyer to download the product after the payment is processed. I just get e-mail notifications of a sale.

With seminars I still teach them, record them and they turn into another product, audio recordings.

I find that selling my products is an additional great way to make money with my expertise. My clients receive the information they need at a lower price point, than if they were to engage my services. I am able to sell many products, because I do not spend any time on the sales/delivery/fulfillment process. A win-win for all.

Since starting to create my products, I have been decreasing the number of service clients I work with, while increasing my revenues.

List Building For A Coaching Business

Monday, July 9th, 2007
 

Many coaches ask me the same question, how to build a large e-mail of potential clients that they can market to.
First, you need to understand who the target customers for your coaching business are. It is extremely important to

Now, what are their pains? What do they want to accomplish? Do they have a problem that they really want solved? Make sure that you know what your target market’s pains and goals are, so that you can use them in your web copy.

To build your list, first you should create a gift that you will give to your new subscribers. Make sure that they really WANT the gift. If they really want the gift, they will be more apt to subscribe to your newsletter.

How can you make sure that they WANT the gift? Find out what their biggest problem is and create a gift that will help them solve it. Everyone wants to get their problems solved, so if you offer a gift that solves your customers’ problems, you will get your newsletter subscribers.

Hire Someone Or Do Your Own SEO?

Friday, July 6th, 2007
 

Many of my clients, who are life and career coaches, consultants, book authors and virtual assistants have been asking me if they should hire someone to do their search engine optimization or if they should do it themselves.

I usually recommend to my clients to learn how to do search engine optimization and then to do it themselves for their web site.

Search engine optimization is not a one-time process; it is a continuous process. In order to get results, you need to be working on it on a regular basis.

SEO consists of two different, but equally important parts. Part one is the actual optimization of your web site – finding good keywords and weaving them into your tags and text. It takes time to do this, and you should research the keywords and update them from time to time.

The second part is about getting links to your web site. The more links you have
from other good web site to your web site, the better are your search engine rankings. This can be accomplished by exchanging links and publishing articles that can be re-published on other web sites, so that you can get a link back from every web site that has published your article.

I discuss search engine optimization in depth in my FREE Tutorial, Search Engine Optimization For Coaches. Here is the tutorial:

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007
 

Did you know that the more newsletter subscribers you have, the more clients you can get and the more e-books you can sell?

Many subscribers means many clients, many sales and many great opportunities for you and your business.

But it is hard to build a large list, and many solopreneures give up on building their list too soon.

On July 12th I will be teaching a Teleseminar on how to TRIPLE the number of your newsletter subscribers WITHOUT increasing your web site traffic.

How To Communicate The Value Of Your Services

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007
 

Many coaches, consultants, web designers, virtual assistants and other service business owners have trouble charging enough for their services. I find that the best way to be able to charge your price for your services is by clearly communicating the value of your services and building relationships with your customers BEFORE they become customers.

When your potential client has a relationship with you PRIOR to requesting your services, they don’t want just the services that you provide, they also want to work with YOU in particular. At that point you don’t have any competition, because, well, there is only one of YOU in the universe :)

The vast majority of my one-on-one clients come to me because they already know me, have seen some of what I can do and are hungry to use more of my expertise to help them promote their business.

They have heard me speak, bought my products, attended my teleseminars or have been reading my newsletter. They are already familiar with who I am and what I can do. I also find that I don’t need to convince them to hire me. They come to me ready to hire me, because my products and my newsletter have made the case for me.

This is why I strongly recommend to my clients, who are service business owners, to spend their marketing time on promoting their expertise and building their newsletter list.
When people subscribe to your newsletter, they enter your sphere of influence. Every time you send them your newsletter you are building a relationship. Once your potential customers get to know you as an expert, they will be much more likely to buy from you.

The key to getting paid for your expertise and your services is to build relationships with many of your potential customers. The best way to do that is by building a large newsletter list and sending out effective newsletters on a regular basis.

Next week I am teaching How To Triple The Number Of Your Newsletter Subscribers Teleseminar during which you can learn how to get more newsletter subscribers. You can learn more about the teleseminar at
