Wake Up – Your Clients Are Looking for You!
If you’re going to use the power of the Internet to try to find clients, you have to first understand how prospective clients are going to find you. You need to drop your preconceived notions about how you see your business, and start thinking about how potential clients are going to see your business. To do that, you need to try to put yourself in their shoes.
Understanding Web Searches
Let’s suppose, for example, your business is centered around providing consulting to customers who need help with back pain in New York. When you sit down to start designing your web strategy, you might hire a copywriter to create content with the keywords, “back pain consultant,” or “pain coaching.” However, those terms won’t likely bring you much in the way of good, solid traffic from potential clients.

Step 1 – Niche Research
The first key to the success of a blog or mini site is that it has to target a group of people (a niche) who are hungry for information of a specific nature. In other words, I’m talking about the selection of your niche.
The group of people that your blog or mini site targets has to be a group of people who have problems. Problems in the sense that they are looking for a solution to something, looking to improve something. Furthermore, in a great niche, that SOMETHING, is something that causes pain. Financial pain, physical pain, emotional pain, some sort of pain, for the simple reason that people who have pain are the people who will want to buy solutions to that pain, and hopefully from your website.
If that sounds a bit sick, trying to exploit people with pain, it’s not. It’s called marketing. You’ve had marketers doing it to you your whole life and you probably never even knew about it, why can’t you do it too? And what’s more, you’re actually going to provide these people with a real solution, so you’re being helpful!

Many people start an online business full of hope and optimism. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way they lose not only interest, many of them lose money. Not everyone is cut out to have their own business.
Don’t waste your time if you are not a self starter
If you need someone standing over you telling you exactly what to do and when to do it, an online business may not be right for you. Self-starter people will not just sit around thinking about doing something. They decide what they need to do, and simply do it. They understand their strengths and weaknesses and able to accept them. They will find ways to get over obstacles to achieve their goals.
Don’t waste your time if you only like to work 9 to 5
The question is: how many hours do you have to work in order for your online business to thrive? Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question. Some people find that they can get away working eight hour days, but others have to put in twice as much time in order to be successful. As long as you are willing to work hard for as many hours as it takes, it does not matter what you will be faced with. Read the rest of this entry
