It's a great economy for freelancers, if you know how to market and promote your business. Corporations, large and small, would prefer not to commit to salaried employees and are, instead, choosing to hire Freelancers.

Why is this relevant? Because I can help. It's what I do best. I'd like to work with you for the first 5 months of 2009 to ensure all 12 months of the year are stellar, off-the-charts, and most importantly financially freeing, personally meaningful and spiritually rewarding. How?

In the totally remolded, revamped and re-energized Book Yourself Solid 15-Week Group Coaching Program. You can participate from anywhere in the world.

It starts January 20, 2009 but now is the time to sign up because I'm offering 40% OFF to the next 25 people who sign up. And a one-on-one complete website assessment
and action plan! This has never before been offered.

Sure, you might need to be more aggressive with your marketing, so actually rise up and make yourself known. (But you should be doing that anyway.) Focus on how effective your site is as a marketing tool, and consider three key factors:
 
·   Messaging - how clearly your site conveys what you offer and who you serve
·   Esthetics - the visual impact of your site
·   Usability - the user experience of navigating your site
 
If you are interested in becoming part of my team, visit www.MichaelPort.com. I will provide an assessment that will that will give you insight into how your business and site fits into the context of the Book Yourself Solid system. Consider the following:

·   How the site builds credibility for you and your company
·   How it enables your sales cycle
·   What promotion strategies it supports.

And one last thing. Remember, please don't buy into this fear mongering around the economy that many managerment trainers are engaged in. In fact, this may be the best time to be in the helping professions. And I can show you why. In fact, you should see a positive bounce in your business in 2009.
