If you have a
lot of Internet marketing and
sales experience that you have built up, you might find yourself
spending time
on forums helping new Internet marketers. Or, you may have even had
people
approach you with questions about how to start an Internet business.
If either of
these are true, you may want to
think about becoming an Internet marketing and sales advisor.
As an Internet
Marketing Advisor it would be
easy for you to find off-line as well as online clients. There are a
lot of
business managers running off-line businesses who do not know how to
take
advantage of the many opportunities that the Internet can offer them. I
am sure
there are many of these off-line businesses in your town or area. This
could
provide you with potential business that you can tap into with just a
few
traditional off-line marketing methods such as classified ads, a
leaflet
campaign, press releases, cold-calling or going door-to-door.
You may also be
able to find clients online by
checking out websites of your local business community and seeing if
any could
benefit from your SEO, copywriting or Internet marketing and sales
skills.
You will need
to decide what services to offer,
and you will need to think about how you are going to clearly
communicate the
features and benefits of your proposals before you make your initial
approach.
Remember, you will be talking to people who may have little knowledge
of how
Internet marketing works and will be unfamiliar with the jargon that
Internet
marketers commonly use.
You may want to
focus on a special set of
marketing activities; or, you may want to offer a wide range of
activities. If
you are aiming to go deep and narrow, you might want to cooperate with
some
other marketers who offer services in complementary areas that you do
not
concentrate in. That way you will be able to boost your income through
commissions by recommending extra services to your clients.
To be fully
effective, you will need to help
your clients fully understand what all is involved in Internet
marketing and
sales. If you can do this, your clients will appreciate what it is that
you are
doing for them and this in turn will make it more likely that they will
come
back to you for more business in the future.
One of your
biggest assets as an Internet
marketing and sales advisor will be your website. Set up a website
dedicated to
explaining the services that you offer. Obviously a lot of care will
need to be
taken with this because the website will serve as an excellent example
of what
you are capable of doing.
To get your new
business up and running, you may
want to offer some free consultations and request some feedback and if
the
client is happy with your service, have them give you a testimonial
that you
can post on your website complete with links to the business website
that you
have worked on.
Once you have
some satisfied customers, you will
find that word-of-mouth will help your Internet marketing and sales
consultancy
business to develop.
I
wish you the best of success,
