    How to: not sell yourself short, attract affluent clients, and get them invested

    I'm sure you're all aware of the constant talks about pricing and how people keep offering services too cheaply. I've seen plenty of posts telling people to raise them. But people STILL aren't getting it! Yes, it may not make sense, or seems counter-intuitive since people want bargains. But it...

    What are some effective low-budget marketing strategies?

    I was recently referred to the owner of a fast-food franchise because they need more customers. The location is a bit hidden. I was told the owner is "poor" but is willing to try ideas. I'm also willing to work with reasonable payment; it'll look good in my portfolio :). I'll be in touch with...

    Friends & Discounts for Web Design

    Another pricing thread! My old co-worker/friend is interested in a website for his clothing business. I didn't mention my price (lowest is $600), but he said people will sell them for $200-300, and I think that's the kind of price he's willing to pay. I'm willing to give a discount, but not at...

    Methods Anyone Can Do?

    My friend wants to make some side money online, but she has absolutely no knowledge about Internet marketing or anything of the sort. I myself have little knowledge outside of offline marketing. First thing that comes to mind that could work well is article writing. Any other similar jobs I'm...

    Industrial Contract Companies

    Has anyone tried offering web design/SEO/whatever to large industrial contracted businesses (aerospace, engineering, aviaton, etc.)? The large companies that typically have a small website just providing some information about what they do and are typically contracted for large projects. They...

    Colored Letterheads & Envelopes

    Has anyone sent out both black & white letterheads as well as colored ones? It may not seem like much of a difference, but it may be a decision factor in my opinion. Professional quality paper + color vs. generic cheap b&w. If you've used both, have you noticed any difference in responses? I'm...

    Interesting Read on Service Pricing

    I found this interesting passage from the book "Successful Freelancing for Web Designers". Know that it doesn't just pertain to graphic design, companies do this all the time with products and brands as well. You might have thought at some point when deciding between a few similar products...

    Problem Viewing BHW with Firefox

    I get this error when trying to view the forum on Firefox. The main page works, sort of. There is no media, just links and text. If I try going to a different page, I receive the above error. It just started happening yesterday. I think the Add-on "HTTPS-Finder" may have something to do with it...

    What are your reasons for internet marketing?

    I would assume most people are in it for money. Or do you enjoy it? What are your plans? Are you going to school for something? Discuss. At the moment, I don't see myself doing it long-term - I just see myself being extremely bored (same with any other computer-related jobs). Of course, that...

    Customers not willing to pay your price for your services?

    I was thinking how smaller businesses may not want to be paying a few hundred a month for SEO/ORM/whatever. Even after contacting them and explaining the benefits, they may not think they'll be getting a return on their investment. For small businesses, a few hundred per month can be a large...

    "Safe" Fiverr SEO Gigs to Use with Clients

    I know most of the Fiverr gigs are spammy and may negate current SEO efforts. But are there any types of SEO/linking gigs that are worthwhile and "safe" to use? I plan to purchase a few to help with my own SEO efforts for clients if it will help. Also, if working on a new website, should I wait...

    Offering your services without meetings?

    I live in a semi-rural (mostly farmland) area outside of a large city. It takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours to get to the city, depending on the area. Besides the travel/commuting time, I'm worried about how they may react upon my appearance. I'm in my 20s, but I'm worried that they may not take me...

    [WordPress] Geo IP or Tracking Plugin

    Is there a plugin that can grab some information about IP, location, etc. when a person visits a page the plugin is activated on? It would be like a "Thank you for purchasing!" page to keep a record in case of payment problems.

    Web Service Payment Methods (and preventing chargebacks)

    What are the best payment methods when selling web services? I was thinking of bank transfer and PayPal, but I'm worried about the charge-backs with PayPal. I've gotten very mixed results reading about how to prevent them, but surely I can lower the chances of the client attempting to do it? Or...
