Too Few Clients? New Age Marketing Advice helps you to help others!First, some very basic marketing advice. Before you start out to promote your new age business, alternative healing services or to sell your horoscope jewellery, if you are having problems with your computer, it's a good idea to make sure that you understand everything. There's nothing worse than realising you need technical support half way through a crucial bit of website creation!
Are you like many New Age practitioners? Are you a healer with no-one to heal? Do you make wonderful pictures of dragons but can't find anyone to buy? Have you spent time and money on acquiring your skills and expertise but you don't know how to set up or promote your New Age business? Marketing advice will not only help your business but enable you to be more effective in helping your clients. As for building a website?! Surely that is for other people? Has someone told you that a free website will do the trick? We all know that money is scarce, and if you are spiritually minded the last thing you feel like doing is spending a lot of money on expensive web design. You feel that you couldn't pay for the best graphic design, so that people will want to visit your site? WRONG! This page shows you how to build a website that people will WANT to visit because of what you can offer them! This isn't magic! Or some kind of scam! I'm going to show you how ANYONE can build a website that will bring people to you in large numbers. You can build a website advertising your skills as a Reiki healer, or a Tarot reader or a feng shiui practitioner. Perhaps you've looked around the web and news stand magazines and seen a lot of commercial astrologers out there who you DON'T want to copy...and yet they make money but you don't? Isn't it infuriating to see charlatans playing on fear and superstition, when people who truly know their profession cannot find a way to let the world know that they're there? It's a common theme for idealistic and spiritual people to spend their time meditating and reading, gaining qualifications and becoming registered in their own field of expertise...and then they wait for clients and none come. TOP NEW AGE aims to be a mine of information for you on all aspects of New Age knowledge and how to build your life around it...but for now I'll give you some sound marketing advice and show you how to build a website that will bring you the people who want what you have to give them.
First you must learn a few basics ...Making money is not wrong! it doesn't make you materialistic. money is a form of energy, and because we live in the physical plane of existence, we have to survive in it. ...Be Positive! Start out by setting your goal before your eyes and then act as if you were on that road. Say you want to earn £15,00 a year? or $20,000? Then assume that you are going to. (More on this later. And yes, I do have a few "magic" tricks up my sleeve!) Or even magick ones! True. ...Get the best information you can This is true of anything on or off this earth. If you want to be an astrologer, learn from the best astrologers. (I'll show you how later.) If you need astrology software, get the best range of programs there is. Not the most expensive. Just the best ( Yes, I'll show you that too!) ...Learn this: Content Builds Traffic Pictures are nice. But words give information...and that's why you're reading this, isn't it? Top New Age will give you the best information out there. If you want to tell people that you can offer them true Feng Shui knowledge, or that you know which herbs to use to cure which ailment, then the occasional picture won't hurt but it won't tell them that you know your stuff. Words will. ...Build it and they will come The beautiful film "Field of Dreams (one of my favourites, by the way) showed that even if you create something that seems foolish, if it meets a need, people will find it. If you have a New Age skill, that is your light. Don't bury it under a bush! or surround a few words with lots of pictures. Or hide your talents away on a free website that no-one is going to look at because they can't remember the long URL! No! What you need is 1. Good advice 2. The means of making a website that works, is not too technical, takes the worry out of submitting it to all the search engines, and brings you clients for your business and customers to your online shop! 3. A source of excellent, trustworthy information. MAKE YOUR SITE SELL 2002 is the e-book that has been called the BIBLE of selling on the net. You just download it, and there you have on your desktop a permanent reference book for every conceivable thing you could ever want to know about selling your New Age skills and expertise on the web. 4. A source of income that doesn't ONLY depend on selling your
expertise and consultancy skills. of course, if you are VERY
lucky you may have enough clients, but you will still be glad to
have a website that pays for itself.
This site is made with Site Build It. Take a look. It submits
itself to the search engines, page by page, as it is written.
Although I do in fact know html, I wouldn't need to, because
Site Build It takes care of all the techno-bother. You don't
need to know how to build a website (although below I give you
some links to other forms of website creating, just in case
you decide to have a go.) You don't need to do any research,
because Site Build It contains a Manager that does all the
research for you. What would take you several weeks, Site Build
It will do in a couple of hours. It has a wonderful manual...the
Action Guide... that takes you step by step through every stage
of preparing and then creating your website.
Enough. Here are some useful links. MAKE YOUR SITE SELL 2002 ...the BIBLE of selling on the net. If you only buy one book on selling from a wevsite, make this the one. SITE BUILD IT enables you to build a website that DOES ITS OWN RESEARCH AND SUBMITS ITSELF TO SEARCH ENGINES! (What more could you possibly want?) Dreamweaver Macromedia's Dreamweaver is arguably the best program for creating websites. It won't do any research or submit itself to search engines, but it will make you a decent website.
