What does your ideal client look like? Do you have any idea?

Understanding who you want your ideal client to be is the first step towards producing a marketing strategy that will drive them to you to buy your products.

So what does your ideal client look like?

Come and see what I’ve got to say about this at http://globalwebmarketingservices.com/online-business-tips/what-does-your-ideal-client-look-like/.

Is outsourcing your marketing services worth it?

For many online business owners, it’s really difficult to find the time to work on your business, let alone market your business!

But of course we all know that without marketing, people won’t know you exist, so it’s an important aspect of your business. But what about your existing customers? You have to look after them obviously, because they are more likely to buy from you a second time, than somebody new. You must keep this in mind when allocating your time and energy!

What if your days were already spent tweaking your existing products, creating new ones, or looking after your customers and there was no time for anything else?

That’s where Global Web Marketing Services comes in. All of your design and marketing requirements can be sorted in one central location. No longer will you have to deal with a web designer, marketing expert and freelance writer. You can even find somebody to help you create products - whatever you need, it’s all here in one central location, saving you time and effort.

Your time is valuable, so if you only have to deal with one person, then you are free to work on what’s important - and you may even be freed up to do what you really love - spending time with family, friends, or just relaxing!

I Now Make Money From Home!

Hey! It’s been a while since I last posted and I truly apologise - life has been amazingly hectic and has changed dramatically over the past few weeks, which I am going to tell you about now, in case you haven’t read of my story:

On May 19 I came across a gentleman called Barry Walls on a forum for internet marketers (the Warrior Forum - you may be familiar with it?). A woman had posted and was celebrating her success after being awarded $20 commission on a ClickBank sale. She had been working at it for 7 months.

People began responding to her post, congratulating her and offering her advice, when Barry came along.

Barry wasn’t so “congratulatory”! In fact, he said he could have gone to work in a third world country and walked away with more money! Of course this generated a lot of harsh posts towards him, but when reading what he had to say, I realised that he was 100% right in what he said. Ok, he didn’t have to be so harsh, but what he said was true.

What he also went on to say was that he could teach her to make more than that (he even suggested up to $1000 per DAY!) within only a few months. He even offered her FREE coaching! If I were her, I’d have been jumping at that chance!

But no, she did not take him up on his offer. I, on the other hand, wanted to know more - a LOT more, so I contacted him directly. I wanted to know what he was all about. He told me what he had been teaching people in the past and their results, and I wanted in, so asked him how much would he accept for him to coach me.

He told me that he almost had ready an online version of his coaching program (he’d been coaching face to face in the past), and he’d offer me a discount price if I was prepared to be a “guinea pig” so to speak.

My credit card was out within a millisecond and I got started!

So I began the course, which taught me how to get work writing articles for others. Prior to this I had been writing and submitting my own articles to article directories, and of course on my websites, so this wasn’t anything new, although I’d never written for somebody else before.

The course is really about building a business that eventually grows to a point where I can leverage more and more of my time as I complete each module.

6 weeks after I began the course, I was making enough to quit my job. I was pretty well-paid before in my job, so to see these results in only 6 weeks - I’ve never done a course in my life that offers that kind of payoff!

This post wasn’t supposed to be all about this course I’m doing though. It’s supposed to be about the goal I had written down a few months ago.

My goal was to be working from home and making more money than I was in my job. At this point it didn’t matter how much more - it just had to be more! The date I had written on my goal card was June 30.

I left my job on June 26! How good is THAT!!??

Now I truly believe that if I hadn’t written down that goal and wasn’t as specific as I was, I really don’t know if Barry Walls and I would have crossed paths. If we did, I’m not sure I would have tracked him down and insisted that he coach me!

So whatever your goal, be specific and write it down, and be sure to give yourself a due date for completion to generate a sense of urgency - you will be glad you did!

$1000 a day? Is it possible?

If you are a regular visitor to this website you will know that I have been internet marketing for a while now.

My specialty is Article Marketing and I even coach people how to market online through article marketing to make money online within 30 days.

My last post even talked about my strategy!

Now here’s the thing.  A whole lot has changed since that last post and with the few minutes I have spare, I will tell you a little bit about it.

I was on the Warrior Forum last week when I came across a post written by a woman who was excited about the $20 clickbank sale she’d just made.  She had started in internet marketing seven months ago, and finally she had made some money.

Most responses to this post were congratulatory - except one.

This one guy was pretty much questioning what was so great about earning $20 in 7 months, stating that you could get more in a third world country!

And you know what?  He’s right!

But what he said next had me intrigued.

He talked about how people are making a LOT more than that in a much shorter time (some within a WEEK), and that anyone could do it.  Hmmm… interesting…!  He then went on to say that by following his strategy they could make $1000 a DAY writing articles!  What???

Ok, that was it.  I wanted to know more!  So I send him a private message, and asked him to tell me more - lots more!

He did and I thought, "I need this guy to be my mentor - NOW!".  So I asked him how much he charged for coaching.

He told me how much and I quickly dug out my credit card - I wasn’t letting this guy get away!

So just over a week ago (last Tuesday in fact) I received the first of 12 modules.  The main ebook was 90 pages long and I could not put it down.  This was amazing stuff!  Did it really work??  Could it be possible?  He guaranteed it would, so I went about following each step in the book.

So here I was, starting off my brand new outsourcing business with absolutely no experience or credibility!  But within one DAY after following his strategy I had my first client.

Each day after that I picked up more.  It’s only day 9 (I think!?) and a client I did some work for yesterday has asked me to do more for him.

I dropped out of school, and in English, I probably averaged a B or a C, so I definitely am not a brilliant writer!  But I can write and I can string a sentence together.  That’s all that I needed.

Now I have made back my first payment to my newfound best friend Barry who has been holding my hand so to speak, the entire time.  He is there to answer my questions and offer his feedback.  And going by the amount of money I have made to date, I am so grateful he has come into my life so I can embrace this opportunity to make a difference and improve my standard of life.

Ok, I have to run, so will finish off with a link to his limited offer coaching program:  http://thefabulouswebsitechick.com/link.php?id=9

Miss out on this and you will be extremely sorry.

More posts on this later too, so stay tuned.

What content should I include on my website?

When designing your website or deciding on what content you want to include, it is important you develop a website that will sell whatever it is you are selling.

Fancy images or flash do not sell. On the other hand, if your website is packed full of information and tips related to your chosen niche, then your likelihood of making a sale is that much greater.

Below is a list of some of the things you should consider when deciding on the content to include in your website:

1. What are your target market asking for? Search using http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com to identify the search terms entered into the search engines. Your content should include these keywords.

2. Design or find a product that solves a problem or answers specific questions relating to the niche.

3. What’s in it for the buyer? Don’t just talk about the features of the product you are promoting - talk about how the product will benefit your buyers.

4. Your website must be easy to navigate. If people can’t find their way around, they will leave.

5. Post regular content. People want to see up to date, relevant content when searching for answers.

So it really doesn’t matter what your website looks like, but rather what is contained within the pages on your website that really makes a difference.

Consider this when embarking on your next project!

A lesson in Goal Setting

Ok, a website dedicated to web development services, internet coaching and internet marketing is probably not the place you would expect to find an article about goal setting, but today that’s going to change!

Regardless of what you do, if you want to succeed, then you must have a goal!

A good friend of mine has a favourite quote: “If you aim at nothing, then you will have amazing accuracy”.

What this quote is saying is that to get to where you want to be, then you have to know where it is first!

So here’s your job for today:

1. Work out exactly what it is you want from your internet business. You don’t even have to put it in dollar terms. Simply having a goal to generate enough business to allow you to do X, Y & Z (be sure to list them all!), is great - as long as you are specific!

2. How will you know once you have achieved your goal? Be sure to write it in a way that you will know once you are there. So for example, if you work full time and have your internet business on the side, your goal might be to replace your current full time income. You can’t get more specific than that! Maybe you might write a goal to replace your current income on a consistent basis over three months, which will allow you to quit your job!

3. Now, assess whether your goal is appropriate. For example, if you were to have a goal to lose weight, but you have no intention of giving up your 54 pizzas each week, then you probably need to reassess!

4. Is your goal realistic? You might want to replace your income within the next 30 days, but if you’re just starting from scratch today and you currently earn $150,000 per year, then 30 days might be stretching it. It isn’t impossible, however if you set a goal that is well beyond something you can believe you can achieve, then your chances of getting there are low.

5. Time limited. When do you want to achieve your goal by? Set a time limit. Set a time limit that is challenging but realistic. You don’t want it to be too easy, nor do you want it to seem almost impossible to achieve.

So there you have it - a lesson in goal setting!

Make the time tonight to sit down and write down exactly what it is you want and be sure to do this in line with the five tips above!

All it takes is action

This morning I woke up to a wonderful email from one of my newest clients.

She was writing to let me know that after only 10 days, she had made the first sale from her website after completing my program and was rather excited about it because it proved to her that the whole system works.

She also commented on how simple and easy to follow my workbook was to follow and thanked me for getting her to this point.

If this person had not taken action and followed the steps outlined in the program, then I doubt she would be as excited as she is today, experiencing a positive result in such a short time.

I guarantee success in 30 days, and she did it in 10 (which beats my record of 11!), which is fantastic!

What exactly do you want?

The first step to achieving what you want in life is desiring it. You must want what it is you are working towards to get it.

If you’re not exactly clear about what you want, then how can you truly desire it?

So here’s what you need to do in order to move towards success:

Work out exactly what it is that you want. Wanting “A million dollars” is useless because money is just a means to get what you want.

What would that million dollars get you? What kind of lifestyle would it give you? What could you do if you had that money?

What kind of life do you truly desire?

Think about that, then write it down, as though you have already achieved it.

How do you feel about sharing your desires with the world? If you’re up to it, please post a comment to inspire the rest of us!
