pHaving that successful freelance marketing business is one thing, but getting started is quite another!/p
pWhen you?re just starting out, it can feel pretty close to impossible, and it?s very easy to get discouraged or overwhelmed. In this post we?re going to go over the real meat and potatoes of starting a freelance marketing business, from the ground up. In this post, we?re going to go over:/p

pAll right, no more waiting. Let?s get to it!/p
h3First, All the Usual Basics Apply/h3
pJust so we?re clear, the basics of starting a business still apply, and a lot of these things are going to be the same across the board. There?s too much else for us to cover in this post, so I?m not going to rehash all the basics, but some of them are:/p
ul
liEvaluating your strengths and weaknesses/li
liDetermining your target market/li
liCalculating your start-up costs/li

h3Step 0: Know Your Stuff!/h3
pThis is step zero because it?s really a prerequisite; if you?re going to be a freelance marketer, you?ve got to know your marketing./p
pIt sounds obvious, but you would be amazed how many people get into the business without a thorough grounding in basic marketing principles. Stuff like targeting, branding, engagement, communication, sales, advertising, messaging, follow-up#8230; you can?t freelance on this stuff if you don?t already know it!/p

h3Step 1: Choose Your Niche (and Be Specific!)/h3
pNow that we?ve got the basics out of the way, I?m going to ask you to be really, really honest for a minute./p
pHave you chosen a niche? Is it something like: Small businesses? Mid-Sized corporations? New-Yorkers? Anyone who will hire you?/p
pYou need to be honest with yourself here, and if your niche is like one of the ones above, you need to narrow it down. /p
pA lot./p
pYou should be marketing your marketing services to exactly a href="http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t#038;rct=j#038;q=firepole%20marketing%20one%20person#038;source=web#038;cd=2#038;ved=0CDEQFjAB#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.firepolemarketing.com%2Fblog%2F2011%2F04%2F30%2Fcustomer-profiles%2F#038;ei=uEpWT83yOKrq0gHuhOWgCg#038;usg=AFQjCNH4IyZTxbHYMjhlCOEciPQKIKg6VQ#038;sig2=BF32UYznn1D-dirvVlkpjw"ONE person/a. That?s right. Just one./p
pWhen you tailor your products and services to the specific needs of your one person, you?ll: do a better job, be seen as an expert, and end up attracting MORE people./p
pThis is done by putting numbers and names to your target market:/p
ul
liHow big is the company? (measured in dollars of revenues, or number of employees)/li
liThe industry they work in (healthcare, personal development, technology, etc.)/li
liThe region they operate in (New York, Eastern Ontario, the Bay Area, etc.)/li
/ul
pSo, for example, a reasonable target niche might be:/p
ul
liTech companies in Des Moines with fewer than 10 employees./li
liSolopreneurs making less than $80,000 a year in Downtown Atlanta./li
liMedical Professionals with 2-3 person partnerships in New Jersey./li

pYou?re never going to be able to serve everyone, so figure out who you can serve best, and go after them exclusively./p
pOkay, now let?s talk about branding!/p
h3Step 2: Unforgettable Branding/h3
pNow that you?re targeting a specific, profitable niche, you need to create a brand identity that will effectively communicate your skills, attitude and specialization./p
pIf you can align your messaging and how you deliver it with what your customers need to hear to make the best, most informed decision, they?ll be beating down your door. /p
blockquote class="pullquote"pYour business brand may not ever have quite the reach that hockey teams or news channels do, but that doesn?t mean that your brand can?t have a similar effect on your consumers./p/blockquote
pIf I were to say to you: ?Fox News,? I bet you?d have a pretty strong reaction. People tend to either love or hate Fox News, because they have positioned their brand very strongly with a political ideology. All of the content that they produce adheres to this ideology, and their messaging supports it. Consumers of Fox News are comfortable with what the company says and how they say it. They can recognize the brand imagery and messaging anywhere and they have a strong loyalty to all aspects of it./p
pIt?s the same with sports teams. In Quebec, the Montreal Canadians (a.ka. the Habs) are a very strong brand, evoking feelings of patriotism, community and victory. Every sports fan in North America recognizes the Habs brand, and talking about it creates an instant rapport, even among strangers./p
pYour business brand may not ever have quite the reach that hockey teams or news channels do, but that doesn?t mean that your brand can?t have a similar effect on your consumers./p
pYou develop a brand by having a clear vision and value statement, and then making sure that they are reflected in every piece of your marketing ? from advertisements straight through to customer service./p
pYou should also keep in mind the qualities that you expect your target niche to respond to best to. Is it important to your ideal clients that they do business with someone hip and technologically savvy? Maybe it?s more important to them that you be trustworthy and reliable? Or maybe you?ll do best if you are an ultra-exclusive company, catering only to those with the highest of standards?/p
pDon?t worry if it?s not totally clear yet ? branding is an art and science all on its own, and for that reason it?s been written about, analyzed, discussed and dissected by some of the best minds in the world. Here are some great basics to get you started on the road to effective (and lucrative!) branding:/p

h3Step 3: The Hand-Raising Free Offer/h3
pOnce you?ve attracted the notice of a potential client, you need to really grab their attention and keep their interest. You can do this by having them ?raise their hand? to say that they like what you are doing, and that they?re interested in learning more./p
pYou see, it?s one thing to know that you have the skills and abilities to help someone, and quite another to make them see it! This step will establish a strong foundation for building a future relationship./p
pSo how do you get them to actually do it? What makes a great hand-raising offer? Well, the offer itself should:/p
ul
liContain information the target is interested in./li
liProvide real, useable value to the recipient./li
liPre-qualify the prospect, by appealing most to those who are best suited and most ready for your service./li
liNot give away a system or process (that will make the customer feel as if they don?t need you)./li
/ul
pAs a quick example, imagine you?re creating this sort of free offer for a real-estate agent. In that case, the offer might be titled: Ten Ways to get Your Home Ready for Sale. It works because:/p
ul
liAnyone looking to sell their home will be interested./li
liThey will be able to use the Ten Ways to get started on their preparation, or as a jumping off point for more research./li
liIt?s not likely that someone with no interest whatsoever in buying or selling a home will want the eBook, so the creator knows that anyone who downloads it is a potential lead./li
liIt offers ten brief tips that are useable, but that don?t get too technical or detailed./li
liThere will be many opportunities within the eBook for that real estate agent or home stager to mention how useful and important their profession is to the process./li
/ul
pOther examples of good ?hand-raising free offers? include my own book Engagement from Scratch! (which is for sale on Amazon, and available as a a href="http://www.engagementfromscratch.com/download.html"free PDF download/a), and the free video training offered at Firepole Marketing about how to a href="http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/"Get More Cash out of Any Business, Website or Blog/a./p

h3Step 4: Closing the Sale and Growing the Business/h3
pOnce you have the attention of some interested leads, you?ve got to close the sale and keep them happy. There are two main aspects to doing this:/p
h4Charging Appropriately/h4
pFiguring out what to charge is one of the biggest problems that new freelancers run into. It?s often tempting to try competing on price, but that almost always leaves you underpaid for your work./p
pSo what?s appropriate? The first step is to a href="http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/2011/03/21/pricing-for-outcome-not-budget-my-moment-of-revelation/"charge for outcome, not for budget/a. In other words, when you are designing your packages and services, figure out how much it?s really worth to the target customer to have their problem solved by your offer ? and set your prices accordingly. Do NOT set your prices to attract as many customers as possible, because then you?ll end up with the wrong customers, and terrible margins./p
pAnd of course, it all has to make dollars and sense; it has to be profitable, and you have to consider your expenses, taxes, desired profit, etc. Check out FreelanceSwitch articles on a href="http://freelanceswitch.com/rates/"Rates/a and a href="http://freelanceswitch.com/money/hourly-vs-fixed-pricing/"Hourly vs. Fixed Pricing/a give a great foundation into how to set your rates and make sure you?re paid what you?re worth.

h4Sealing the Deal/h4
pOnce you?ve determined how and what you?ll be charging for your services, you have to communicate the value of what you?re offering to your lead. It?s also up to you to protect that sale, and nurture the relationship that you?ve created so that it will lead to more sales in the future./p
pThis really comes down to determining whether or not there is a good fit between the customer?s needs and expectations, and the value that you?re offering. No trickery, no hard tactics, and no bullying#8230; just an a href="http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/2011/01/10/fire-proof-selling-post-1-of-7-an-earnest-exploration-of-fit/"earnest exploration of fit/a./p
pPut everything that you?ve heard about high-pressure sales tactics out of your mind ? just be sincere, honest and helpful, and the rest will take care of itself. /p
pThere are a variety of techniques for doing this, and through trial and error, you?ll find out which work best for you. Some places to start your experimenting are:/p
ul
liThe a href="http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/category/fire-proof-selling/"FIRE-PROOF Selling System/a takes a lot of the error and guesswork out of making the sale. It works for everyone who tries it, and will work for you, too./li

/ul
h3Step 5: Iterating Towards Success, and Get Help When You Need It!/h3
pNo matter how well you plan, and how well organized you are, some things will go wrong, and require a second attempt. That?s okay. Don?t panic!/p
blockquote class="pullquote"pGrowing a successful business isn?t about getting everything right the first time, but rather about getting some things right, fixing what?s wrong, and iterating towards success./p/blockquote
pGrowing a successful business isn?t about getting everything right the first time, but rather about getting some things right, fixing what?s wrong, and iterating towards success. So how do you do it?/p
pThe first step is to pay careful attention to what elements of your plan worked, and which ones didn?t. Make a point of keeping records of how different techniques work for you ? that information will allow you to adjust your techniques, and refine your style every time./p
pYou can also short-cut ahead of a lot of the trial and error involved in any new business by taking (to heart!) the advice of an experienced, trusted mentor. Having someone to turn to when you need advice, and to consult with on different issues you?ll be facing, can be a critical contributor to your long-term success./p
pSo what can you expect from a good mentor relationship?/p
ul
liA sounding board for your ideas./li
liHonest criticism and feedback./li
liAdvice on different aspects of running a business./li
liReminders that you are capable of this, and no, you?re not crazy for trying./li
liAn objective viewpoint on your goals and priorities/li
liAnd lots more (every relationship is different, after all)/li
/ul
pWhat?s most important at this stage is to decide what you want and need from a mentor, and then try to find someone who fits that profile. You may not find someone who has every quality on your wish list, but you?ll likely find someone who has the skills, abilities and attitude that will help compliment yours./p
pNow that you know what you?re looking for, here are some places that you can go looking for a mentor:/p
ul
liReach out to your personal network and ask if they know someone appropriate, and can make an introduction./li
liLook to professionals that you respect in your industry. You probably don?t want to ask a direct competitor to mentor you, but someone who is familiar with the unique challenges posed by your industry will be very helpful./li
liHire a mentor. There are many coaches and consultants who have made their life?s work about helping others meet their business (and sometimes personal) goals./li
liAsk around at community business organizations or your local chamber of commerce./li
/ul
pUnless you?re hiring one, never come right out and say ?be my mentor!? You?ll scare off professionals like the boogeyman scares toddlers. Instead, start with a phone call or email with a simple question, and then ask for an opportunity to speak with them. If they seem receptive after a few of these, ask if they would be interested in a more formal ongoing relationship./p
pAnd of course, we?ve got some great resources to help you out:/p

h3First, All the Usual Basics Apply/h3
pJust so we?re clear, the basics of starting a business still apply, and a lot of these things are going to be the same across the board. There?s too much else for us to cover in this post, so I?m not going to rehash all the basics, but some of them are:/p

h3Step 0: Know Your Stuff!/h3
pThis is step zero because it?s really a prerequisite; if you?re going to be a freelance marketer, you?ve got to know your marketing./p
pIt sounds obvious, but you would be amazed how many people get into the business without a thorough grounding in basic marketing principles.

pNow that we?ve got the basics out of the way, I?m going to ask you to be really, really honest for a minute./p
pHave you chosen a niche? Is it something like: Small businesses? Mid-Sized corporations? New-Yorkers? Anyone who will hire you?/p
pYou need to be honest with yourself here, and if your niche is like one of the ones above, you need to narrow it down. /p
pA lot./p
pYou should be marketing your marketing services to exactly a href="http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t#038;rct=j#038;q=firepole%20marketing%20one%20person#038;source=web#038;cd=2#038;ved=0CDEQFjAB#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.firepolemarketing.com%2Fblog%2F2011%2F04%2F30%2Fcustomer-profiles%2F#038;ei=uEpWT83yOKrq0gHuhOWgCg#038;usg=AFQjCNH4IyZTxbHYMjhlCOEciPQKIKg6VQ#038;sig2=BF32UYznn1D-dirvVlkpjw"ONE person/a. That?s right. Just one./p
pWhen you tailor your products and services to the specific needs of your one person, you?ll: do a better job, be seen as an expert, and end up attracting MORE people./p
pThis is done by putting numbers and names to your target market:/p
ul
liHow big is the company? (measured in dollars of revenues, or number of employees)/li
liThe industry they work in (healthcare, personal development, technology, etc.)/li
liThe region they operate in (New York, Eastern Ontario, the Bay Area, etc.)/li
/ul
pSo, for example, a reasonable target niche might be:/p
ul
liTech companies in Des Moines with fewer than 10 employees./li
liSolopreneurs making less than $80,000 a year in Downtown Atlanta./li
liMedical Professionals with 2-3 person partnerships in New Jersey./li

pYou?re never going to be able to serve everyone, so figure out who you can serve best, and go after them exclusively./p
pOkay, now let?s talk about branding!/p
h3Step 2: Unforgettable Branding/h3
pNow that you?re targeting a specific, profitable niche, you need to create a brand identity that will effectively communicate your skills, attitude and specialization./p
pIf you can align your messaging and how you deliver it with what your customers need to hear to make the best, most informed decision, they?ll be beating down your door. /p
blockquote class="pullquote"pYour business brand may not ever have quite the reach that hockey teams or news channels do, but that doesn?t mean that your brand can?t have a similar effect on your consumers./p/blockquote
pIf I were to say to you: ?Fox News,? I bet you?d have a pretty strong reaction. People tend to either love or hate Fox News, because they have positioned their brand very strongly with a political ideology. All of the content that they produce adheres to this ideology, and their messaging supports it. Consumers of Fox News are comfortable with what the company says and how they say it. They can recognize the brand imagery and messaging anywhere and they have a strong loyalty to all aspects of it./p
pIt?s the same with sports teams. In Quebec, the Montreal Canadians (a.ka. the Habs) are a very strong brand, evoking feelings of patriotism, community and victory. Every sports fan in North America recognizes the Habs brand, and talking about it creates an instant rapport, even among strangers./p
pYour business brand may not ever have quite the reach that hockey teams or news channels do, but that doesn?t mean that your brand can?t have a similar effect on your consumers./p
pYou develop a brand by having a clear vision and value statement, and then making sure that they are reflected in every piece of your marketing ? from advertisements straight through to customer service./p
pYou should also keep in mind the qualities that you expect your target niche to respond to best to. Is it important to your ideal clients that they do business with someone hip and technologically savvy? Maybe it?s more important to them that you be trustworthy and reliable? Or maybe you?ll do best if you are an ultra-exclusive company, catering only to those with the highest of standards?/p
pDon?t worry if it?s not totally clear yet ? branding is an art and science all on its own, and for that reason it?s been written about, analyzed, discussed and dissected by some of the best minds in the world. Here are some great basics to get you started on the road to effective (and lucrative!) branding:/p

h3Step 3: The Hand-Raising Free Offer/h3
pOnce you?ve attracted the notice of a potential client, you need to really grab their attention and keep their interest. You can do this by having them ?raise their hand? to say that they like what you are doing, and that they?re interested in learning more./p
pYou see, it?s one thing to know that you have the skills and abilities to help someone, and quite another to make them see it! This step will establish a strong foundation for building a future relationship./p
pSo how do you get them to actually do it? What makes a great hand-raising offer? Well, the offer itself should:/p
ul
liContain information the target is interested in./li
liProvide real, useable value to the recipient./li
liPre-qualify the prospect, by appealing most to those who are best suited and most ready for your service./li
liNot give away a system or process (that will make the customer feel as if they don?t need you)./li
/ul
pAs a quick example, imagine you?re creating this sort of free offer for a real-estate agent. In that case, the offer might be titled: Ten Ways to get Your Home Ready for Sale. It works because:/p
ul
liAnyone looking to sell their home will be interested./li
liThey will be able to use the Ten Ways to get started on their preparation, or as a jumping off point for more research./li
liIt?s not likely that someone with no interest whatsoever in buying or selling a home will want the eBook, so the creator knows that anyone who downloads it is a potential lead./li
liIt offers ten brief tips that are useable, but that don?t get too technical or detailed./li
liThere will be many opportunities within the eBook for that real estate agent or home stager to mention how useful and important their profession is to the process./li
/ul
pOther examples of good ?hand-raising free offers? include my own book Engagement from Scratch! (which is for sale on Amazon, and available as a a href="http://www.engagementfromscratch.com/download.html"free PDF download/a), and the free video training offered at Firepole Marketing about how to a href="http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/"Get More Cash out of Any Business, Website or Blog/a./p

h3Step 4: Closing the Sale and Growing the Business/h3
pOnce you have the attention of some interested leads, you?ve got to close the sale and keep them happy. There are two main aspects to doing this:/p
h4Charging Appropriately/h4
pFiguring out what to charge is one of the biggest problems that new freelancers run into. It?s often tempting to try competing on price, but that almost always leaves you underpaid for your work./p
pSo what?s appropriate? The first step is to a href="http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/2011/03/21/pricing-for-outcome-not-budget-my-moment-of-revelation/"charge for outcome, not for budget/a. In other words, when you are designing your packages and services, figure out how much it?s really worth to the target customer to have their problem solved by your offer ? and set your prices accordingly. Do NOT set your prices to attract as many customers as possible, because then you?ll end up with the wrong customers, and terrible margins./p
pAnd of course, it all has to make dollars and sense; it has to be profitable, and you have to consider your expenses, taxes, desired profit, etc. Check out FreelanceSwitch articles on a href="http://freelanceswitch.com/rates/"Rates/a and a href="http://freelanceswitch.com/money/hourly-vs-fixed-pricing/"Hourly vs. Fixed Pricing/a give a great foundation into how to set your rates and make sure you?re paid what you?re worth.

h4Sealing the Deal/h4
pOnce you?ve determined how and what you?ll be charging for your services, you have to communicate the value of what you?re offering to your lead. It?s also up to you to protect that sale, and nurture the relationship that you?ve created so that it will lead to more sales in the future./p
pThis really comes down to determining whether or not there is a good fit between the customer?s needs and expectations, and the value that you?re offering. No trickery, no hard tactics, and no bullying#8230; just an a href="http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/2011/01/10/fire-proof-selling-post-1-of-7-an-earnest-exploration-of-fit/"earnest exploration of fit/a./p
pPut everything that you?ve heard about high-pressure sales tactics out of your mind ? just be sincere, honest and helpful, and the rest will take care of itself. /p
pThere are a variety of techniques for doing this, and through trial and error, you?ll find out which work best for you. Some places to start your experimenting are:/p
ul
liThe a href="http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/category/fire-proof-selling/"FIRE-PROOF Selling System/a takes a lot of the error and guesswork out of making the sale. It works for everyone who tries it, and will work for you, too./li

/ul
h3Step 5: Iterating Towards Success, and Get Help When You Need It!/h3
pNo matter how well you plan, and how well organized you are, some things will go wrong, and require a second attempt. That?s okay. Don?t panic!/p
blockquote class="pullquote"pGrowing a successful business isn?t about getting everything right the first time, but rather about getting some things right, fixing what?s wrong, and iterating towards success./p/blockquote
pGrowing a successful business isn?t about getting everything right the first time, but rather about getting some things right, fixing what?s wrong, and iterating towards success. So how do you do it?/p
pThe first step is to pay careful attention to what elements of your plan worked, and which ones didn?t. Make a point of keeping records of how different techniques work for you ? that information will allow you to adjust your techniques, and refine your style every time./p
pYou can also short-cut ahead of a lot of the trial and error involved in any new business by taking (to heart!) the advice of an experienced, trusted mentor. Having someone to turn to when you need advice, and to consult with on different issues you?ll be facing, can be a critical contributor to your long-term success./p
pSo what can you expect from a good mentor relationship?/p
ul
liA sounding board for your ideas./li
liHonest criticism and feedback./li
liAdvice on different aspects of running a business./li
liReminders that you are capable of this, and no, you?re not crazy for trying./li
liAn objective viewpoint on your goals and priorities/li
liAnd lots more (every relationship is different, after all)/li
/ul
pWhat?s most important at this stage is to decide what you want and need from a mentor, and then try to find someone who fits that profile. You may not find someone who has every quality on your wish list, but you?ll likely find someone who has the skills, abilities and attitude that will help compliment yours./p
pNow that you know what you?re looking for, here are some places that you can go looking for a mentor:/p
ul
liReach out to your personal network and ask if they know someone appropriate, and can make an introduction./li
liLook to professionals that you respect in your industry. You probably don?t want to ask a direct competitor to mentor you, but someone who is familiar with the unique challenges posed by your industry will be very helpful./li
liHire a mentor. There are many coaches and consultants who have made their life?s work about helping others meet their business (and sometimes personal) goals./li
liAsk around at community business organizations or your local chamber of commerce./li
/ul
pUnless you?re hiring one, never come right out and say ?be my mentor!? You?ll scare off professionals like the boogeyman scares toddlers. Instead, start with a phone call or email with a simple question, and then ask for an opportunity to speak with them. If they seem receptive after a few of these, ask if they would be interested in a more formal ongoing relationship./p
