3 Quick Steps To Sell Your Services

Everyone has a skill.. even if you you think you don’t :) That’s why it’s easy to take a personal inventory and figure out how to sell your services.

In the online business world there are hundreds of tasks that need to be completed daily, weekly, monthly to make a business easy to find among millions of other websites. Creating videos, submitting your articles to article directories, creating affiliate tools, setting up Squidoo pages, getting listed in blog directories, setting up your social media accounts, or any number of other things. Guess what? You’re not alone. Every online business owner feels the exact same way.

And, any time there’s a problem that means you can profit.

Step One: Figure Out What You Can Do
Figure out the one activity in your online business that you really enjoy doing or that you are good at. I can guarantee you that there are plenty of online business owners or solopreneurs who will pay you to do that one thing for them. Still stuck? Ask yourself if there is something that other people compliment you on or ask for your help on.

Step Two: Create an Irresistible Offer
Here’s what you do next. Put together your irresistible offer. Make it very easy to understand what you’re offering, how it benefits an online business, what experience you have that makes you a good candidate, and then – the price. Give them an offer they can’t refuse.

Important Tips:

Keep it simple. A confused prospect will walk.
Add testimonials. If you have any past clients, JV partners, or anyone who can vouch for you, get an endorsement of your character.

Step Three: Put Your Offer In Front of Those Who Know You
First, contact any past clients who you’ve worked for in the past. Let them know of your new offer and that they can “pay in advance” to claim their spot. Then, contact any marketing friends. Post on Twitter, of course, too.

If you are starting from scratch, use a third party site that removes some of the anxiety over using a new freelancer because they have a third party protection level.

I just signed up and started using oDesk to find Writers and other outsourcers . to help leverage my time.

There are three big advantages to using a third party site
.

1. Using a third party site allows you to build your profile and portfolio with each job building trust for new clients since they do all the tracking for you.
2. You don’t need to worry about chasing payments, generally, all clients must have pre-approved finances in their account.
3. Since everything is done via that third party site, it eliminates the out of pocket cost you would need to spend to set up your own website. You can operate literally with no website of your own AND you don’t need to try to drive traffic to that site since your profile is already smack dab in the middle of where people are searching for your service!

What can you offer or even use to effectively leverage your time?

To your success,
