Are You Wasting Time And Money?
I wonder if you ever ask yourself any of the following questions:
- How do I find more clients?
- What’s the right price (for my services)?
- Which social media platform should I focus on first?
- How long should an ebook/newsletter/book be?
- Which product should I develop first?
These are just some of the questions I’ve been asked by clients this week and there is one answer that I say again and again as a starting point for all of these – quite simply, it depends who your ideal paying clients are.
There are many people who can give you their opinions (and some very valuable tips on what to check out) but the best people to get to know well, before you make these decisions, are those that you’re looking to help or serve with your products/services.
Because being clear on who your ideal clients are has an impact on the answer to all these questions. Only once you’ve defined (and researched your ideal clients) will you know where they are (so you can ‘find’ more of them more quickly); what price they are willing to pay; which social media platform they are on; what content to include in ebooks / newsletters / books and which products or services they want, need and are willing to pay for.
So please, please, please if you haven’t defined your ideal PAYING clients yet, make this a priority. Because if you don’t, you’re likely to be wasting lots of your time and money – developing products and services that won’t generate the cash to provide your ideal life.
Matching your passions and skill sets to what lots of your ideal clients want, is one of the core foundations for earning good money doing what you love and making more of a difference to others.
