Many Internet Marketing Consultants have exorbitant fees for their services claiming their "in-demand" status indicates such high dollar invoices. Are they really the #1 expert or are they just charging you what they think they can get away with? [What do I charge?]
Trust is the basis of any working relationship and I never jeopardize the trust my clients have in my integrity of operations. Rest assured, I not only treat my clients fairly but bill them for my work in the same fashion as well.
My approach is driven by "proven results". I provide profitable Internet Marketing strategy and consulting, custom-tailored to each individual client needs as well as their budget. I use only the most cost-effective consulting option for the work requested and flexibility in the methods of providing direct consulting. In the end, it must all be profitable to my clients.
1. Consulting Options
My consulting options enable just about any small business to hire affordable web site promotion services & consulting for their e-business.
- Project Consulting: This is the type of work I do for most of my clients. A project can be short term (a few weeks) or long-term (several months), based on the deliverables that we have agreed upon. This is the engagement that offers the most cost-flexibility in tailoring Internet Marketing Consulting for small business.
- Retainer Consulting/Outsource Management: Some clients need to have work done on a continual basis, they may be in very competitive markets online and need frequent Internet Marketing support or they may need to even outsource the entire workload to me. In any event, this is a more predictable, steady form of billing and allows the consulting investment to be stretched over several quarters.
- Hourly Consulting: This is perfect for the small business that needs Internet Marketing Consulting on a limited basis. They may need to supplement what they are currently doing with additional support, advice and/or need some strategic consulting or training sessions to aid in their overall Internet Marketing strategy.
- Performance Consulting: I reserve this type of billing method for very select clients. These clients typically have their Internet Marketing operations well underway with sufficient online marketing budgets to support their brand and need to have some strategic adjustments and improvements to their Internet Marketing programs. This method of billing provides a guaranteed ROI for my consulting services since my fees are based upon the "profitability improvement" made as a result of my work.
- Flat-Fee Consulting: Another great option for small businesses that require financial predictability for their investment in Internet Marketing services. The types of work billed under this option include standard audits, reports, and testing services. For clients that need other services such as pay per click account management or search engine optimization services on an ongoing basis please see my, "Retainer Consulting/Outsource Management" bullet above.
2. Consulting Methods
I offer several methods of Internet Marketing Consulting to ensure affordability for my clients.
- Phone Consulting: Call on my expertise. I am available during standard business hours and outside of standard hours upon advance request. You are able to select the hours needed and can call me on my office line, cell phone or via Skype. Prescheduled calls to your line can also be easily arranged. I charge $0 for the first hour of consulting for any new client. After the free consultation you will be billed on a tiered basis of hours purchased - please contact me for a current rate list.
- Email Consulting: This method of consulting is perfect for clients that have a more specialized Internet Marketing question that requires some research and a detailed response. You can choose to receive a one-time email consulting session or this can be incorporated into a consulting option (#1 above) to provide more cost-effectiveness than typical phone consulting. Please contact me for a current rate list.
- Live Chat/SMS-Text Messaging: During standard business hours I am on standby for live chat from my website (see left navigation bar) for prospective or existing clients. Typically clients will have quick questions they need to have answered or simply need advice prior to a meeting. NOTE: This is the only method of consultation that does not require a one-hour minimum.
- On Site Consulting & Training: Some clients may require hands-on Internet Marketing support at their place of business. In this case, I provide my consulting expertise to local businesses within the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area for no travel charge beyond my standard on-site rates. For clients outside of the local area travel arrangements can be made to visit their place of business at the clients expense. Please contact me ahead of time to schedule an in-person consultation or training session.
