Microconsulting

Let’s face it, sometimes you need some professional advice but don’t have the time or money to find an experienced consultant that’s worth it. And, even if you do find the right one, some consultants charge huge fees to deliver a massive, complicated report of audits, critiques, and ideas. But why pay hundreds of dollars—or even thousands—for a large and elaborate report when a targeted answer would suit you just fine? Wouldn’t it be great if you could get a targeted answer at an affordable price?

Well now you can! Introducing an espresso-shot of business advice for only $100!

Yup, you can have masterful business micro-consulting at a microscopic price. Just send me your business concern, question, or quandary and I’ll reply with a tailor-made email.

Here are some examples (and they’re all true stories!)—

Q: I’m a research consultant. I have a white paper that I would like to sell from my website as a download. Developers have told me it will cost around $5,000 to build a shopping cart solution. I have corporate clients, so whatever I do needs to look and feel polished—but that seems overpriced. What do you think?

A: Too much! Use E-junkie shopping cart to manage digital downloads with PayPal’s high-end Website Pro to process payments. $35/month plus fees…

Q: I’m an information marketer, and I’m meeting with an editor who publishes for my target audience. I want her to consider me as a permanent contributor to her quarterly newsletter…how do I ‘Wow’ her?

A: Play up the scope of your niche knowledge. Share your bountiful ebook and the best of your ezine. Ask for her ideas. Offer a long-term plan…

Q: I’m a web designer. My client’s friends have told her she needs a blog so she can edit the content herself whenever she wants to. My client has a busy medical practice and will update the content only once a month or so. Is a blog the best solution for that?

A: Yes and no. A CMS is required but a blog platform is optional. Balance easy admin for her w/easy dev for you. See Squarespace and Wordpress…
