Here is a great strategy that can greatly change your business. It works best for trained service providers, but can work well for others as well. If you have never started this road before, you may want to do a lot of work, but only have to do it once. Once you have completed the process once, you can use the same strategy over and over again. And you will be setting yourself up as an expert along the way.
First things first. You need to make sure you are an expert in this field. Does that mean you have to be a PhD in the subject? No, it is not. It simply means that you should know enough about the topic in order to be authoritative. Keep in mind that most people know very little about any particular field and recent research has found that if you read only three books on a particular topic, you will become an expert on that topic in relation to everyone.
The next thing you need to do is write a short booklet on the topic. This can be as simple as summarizing the content of the three books you have read and placing the same content in your own words and in the summary text. By doing this, you can refer to yourself forever as a writer, and other people will treat you with more respect as a result. I have written two handbooks in the past. One had 28 pages and the other had 34 pages. So these do not need to be long novels. They just need to show off your skills.
The process of writing a short letter does something else. Build your thoughts and understanding of the topic. By being forced to explain a subject to the uneducated student, you will eventually become better acquainted with the subject. And with that understanding in place, you need to massage the contents into a 2-hour workshop. Think about the main points, and organize them so that your audience will hear them.
Next, plan an event and market it to get a few people present. There are different ways to market an event like this, and it does not need to cost a lot of money. The key is to find 10 or 15 people. That will give the audience enough time to familiarize themselves with the information and get the questions that arise.
If you are comfortable with the process, bring a microphone and record the event live. You can download Audacity for free, and the microphone will cost $50 or less. After that, you will get exposure in the workplace as usual, but you will get an information product to launch. The importance of this is important. Many conversational discussions require the speaker to have a knowledgeable product to sell. It also builds more trust. It also allows you to make money even though you offer free workshops.
This 5-step strategy is a great way to position yourself as an expert in your field and use that position to gain new customers or partners. And once you have completed the process once, you will have the tools forever, and you can use them as often as possible without any extra effort.
