The Daily Exhorter

I have been missing-in-action for a few weeks, but with good reason. I’ve been working! I’ve taken on several new writing clients and their requests have kept me busy and happily writing along. However, with that, I’ve not been able to properly post to my (six) blogs and even my guest blogs, so my blogging has felt the absence. The month of July promises to be just as busy as last month, so I’ll be super-swamped again. But, I love my blogging so much I cannot let it fall by the side. Therefore I’ve developed a schedule that will let me blog and take care of my clients too.

Do you ever have that problem? Too much work? With today’s current economy, I know there are a lot of people who wished they had that “problem.” Although it can be overwhelming to juggle several clients or projects at once, it can also be satisfying to know that you’re creating a solid income for yourself and you’re doing it all online or from the comforts of home. Let me tell you how to get that “problem.”

1.) Be available. Always let your clients know that you’re there for them. Let them see this by taking on small projects when they have them or picking up the slack if necesary.

2.) Communicate. You don’t have to be their BFF, but talk to them as much a possible or necessary, especially if you’re handling something big for them. Communication doesn’t always have to be a phone call. It can a tweet or even a Facebook status update. Be creative in how you communicate with them, but make it appropriate as well. Clients need to have confidence in you, and communicating with them helps instill that confidence.

3.) Deliver, then over-deliver. Stick to your dates of delivery. If you say your product(s) will be shipped by noon tomorrow, then golly-gosh, ship them by noon tomorrow!! If you have a writing deadline of Friday at 8:00 a.m., finish it and deliver it on Thursday by noon. This will impress the clients so much and give them the confidence they need in your abilities and will possibly give you MORE work.

These are some of the things that I’ve done that have helped me get more business and enjoy repeat business from my writing clients. I guarantee you that it will work if you apply the principles and be patient.

As for me, I’m going to get back to my deadlines now and concentrate on over-delivering. Yes business is good, and soon, you’ll be able to say the same thing!
