I founded an internet company that delivers help in the form of small business management and accounting software tools and expertise to thousands of startups and small businesses across the globe and whenever I explain to people what I do, I consistently get asked the same question “Given my background, how could I monetize it and make earn a living from small business consulting? I’m always willing to supply guidance as I am lucky enough to spend the biggest part of my day communicating with small business owners and staff happy to to share their challenges.

This is the advice that I offer:

The online world is a perfect platform for finding customers and it makes it easy to speak to them and sell your expertise. A lot of small businesses turn to the internet to find knowledge or trusted advisors who can provide them with guidance and help them address key challenges.

Information marketing – package and sell your expertise to businesses through the Internet

Now I know I have focused on small business consulting but what I share with you here is just as relevant to any size business. You can repackage and sell your expertise in a electronic format such as video, audio or documents. The tools to construct high quality material are readily available on the world wide web. Producing a series of lessons in simple to use web ready formats is now simple and inexpensive. You just have to be prepared to dedicate a bit of time learning and practicing with the packages.

You have to decide what you want to achieve. Consultancy and Information marketing compliment each other and if you do both can be very provide a substantial income as the consultancy will provide you with the questions, the answers to which could be turned into content and sold over and over again.

If you are starting from scratch with no customers but have expertise you know would be valuable to others then make a two minute video to explain yourself and your expertise to your potential client(s). Unless you know the target(s) precise problem then make the video generic and usethe following format – S.T.A.R (Situation or Task, Action, Result). Keep it short, interesting and sweet. Now deploy the video to your website/blog or even YouTube if you don’t have the former and send the target(s) an invitation by e-mail containing a personal message and a link to the video. Follow this up with a phone call. If you know the specific nature of the marketproblem then don’t make the video public, just put it somewhere away from prying eyeson the Web or even on a disk and post it, again follow up with a call.

This method is ideally suited to situations where you are individually targeting prospect(s).
