Quick Facebook Tip
According to Buddy Media, approximately 60% of Facebook posts were published from 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. However, companies that posted outside of traditional business hours (early morning, at the end of the work day and late at night) had engagement rates approximately 20% higher than average. What does this mean for you? Try posting late in the evening or early in the morning, and don't forget those weekend posts! See if your engagement rates (likes, comments and shares) go up when you post at different times of the day.

Add Some New Slices to
Your Income Pie
By Sara Pedersen  Take out a piece of paper and draw a circle on it. Now, consider how you earn your income -- is it all from hands-on services? If so, your entire "income pie" is dependent on that one service offering. But what if you were to divide that pie into sections, giving you multiple income sources to fall back on during slow times?
In this economy, you'll have some potential clients who simply can't afford you right now, and they need another option to learn organizing skills at a lower price point. This is a great opportunity for you to introduce a new product or service that will produce additional revenue streams. Here are a few ideas to consider adding to your "income pie."
Sell a "do-it-yourself" package. If you're a "hands-on organizing only" professional organizer for example, consider creating a new service that consists of an in-depth needs assessment and a detailed action plan. That way, the client can work on the organizing project herself, on her own time, paying a flat-rate price that's more affordable than hands-on services. (But be sure to price it high enough to cover your drive time, the actual needs assessment, and the time to create the action plan and any phone follow-up.)
Consider phone or email consulting. You may be able to offer "virtual organizing" at a lower hourly or package rate than hands-on organizing because there's no drive time involved. Be sure to define up front how many hours are involved, when you'll be available for calls, and how payment will be handled.
Write a book, pamphlet, or articles. It's nice to have a truly inexpensive option to give potential clients. Instead of closing the door on a hands-on organizing sale, open a window and make a book sale. It's still income, and perhaps customers will be so impressed that they'll call you back when they have the money to afford your services. This is an especially great idea if you have a choice client or niche. There are a million books on general organizing, but if you can share specialized tips (such as how to help senior citizens organize their paperwork, or how to organize a school classroom), you'll have an easy audience! You can sell actual books or skip the hassle of printing with booklets or downloadable e-books.
Create an audio CD or DVD. If you have a pleasant voice, why not put it to use creating and selling an audio CD? Pick a topic and share your organizing process and favorite tips. If you're comfortable in front of a video camera, go one step further and produce a video, so you can actually show customers how to get organized. (Just remember that neatness counts. Invest in quality when you produce your products.)
Offer workshops or teleclasses. People will be able to gain organizing skills in a group setting at an affordable cost. My Girls' Night Out Organizing Workshop Kit can help you set up this new revenue stream in a snap! (Click here to learn more.) It's also a great way to increase awareness of your services and build your database of potential clients. (And this is a perfect time to sell your books, pamphlets, audio CDs, and DVDs.) Or offer organizing teleclasses. You can set up a free conference call "bridgeline" at www.freeconference.com. What a great way to highlight your expertise!
I hope this has inspired you to introduce some new "products" at a variety of price points. Drop me a line and share your "income pie" success stories!
