You know one of the great things i have found with &quot;consulting&quot; to a few companies now is that once i have a fan in one company they tend to tell others about me.
I made one change in a email for a company and they had a better response in that one email than they had for the last four years.
Do i know stuff?  well yeah i&#039;ve been doing it for 5 years and making a great living selling my own products so i hope so =0 and then i kind of fell into &quot;advising&quot; some companies on simple marketing strategies.
It wasn&#039;t really my plan but it seems to be a good way to go. planning on tripling my fee next time =)
P.S. Andy - when can i get video boss ?
I do tons of video for clients and doing a launch for a new product soon - I want to blow them away with my &quot;video bossiness&quot;   not sure if that is real english !</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>great post Andy &#8211; meeting a National Company marketing director tomorrow eager to buy me coffee.</p><p>You know one of the great things i have found with &#8220;consulting&#8221; to a few companies now is that once i have a fan in one company they tend to tell others about me.</p><p>I made one change in a email for a company and they had a better response in that one email than they had for the last four years.<br

Thanks for the reminder.  I have submitted a couple of full proposals to local businesses and haven&#039;t been accepted yet, so I&#039;m still in &quot;the career&quot; job.
I have to double down and sign one local business up... Like the proverbial hole in the damn, the first one will open the flood gates.
Thanks again for the pep talk!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Great rant!<br

But it was paying good money and I was in demand. So I recently resurrected my online branding business and now outsource most of it, nice little earner, plus adds credo to talking about my products - e.g. &quot;My clients pay me $5k per month to implement this in their business...&quot;
Very well said and nice encouragement :-)

Side note: My friend and I were re-watching Video Boss (LIKE A BOSSSSSSSS) and he said that he would love to treat you at no cost (he owns some super guru spa/doctors clinic from Germany).

Thanks for the awesome blog post.
I like that even when you are promoting someone else&#039;s product - you always provide a good quality email or blog post with valuable (even inspirational) content along with it as compared to some of the other guys who&#039;re promoting ( No offense intended to them - they&#039;re all great marketers as well) but you stand out that little bit more - because you put in that little bit more effort.
I definitely have to start doing more of that.
Thanks again. The post inspired me once more - where i had been doubting myself as truely being worthy of calling myself an expert despite what i know and then charging for it.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Andy.</p><p>Thanks for the awesome blog post.</p><p>I like that even when you are promoting someone else&#8217;s product &#8211; you always provide a good quality email or blog post with valuable (even inspirational) content along with it as compared to some of the other guys who&#8217;re promoting ( No offense intended to them &#8211; they&#8217;re all great marketers as well) but you stand out that little bit more &#8211; because you put in that little bit more effort.</p><p>I definitely have to start doing more of that.<br

I would have liked to have read this, but the ridiculously large bar at the bottom of the screen kept distracting me.
And it refuses to close in Firefox, even if you click the &#039;X&#039;.
It is incredibly distracting. At least fix it so it can be closed at the very least; because it won&#039;t close at the moment.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forget the content for second.</p><p>I would have liked to have read this, but the ridiculously large bar at the bottom of the screen kept distracting me.</p><p>And it refuses to close in Firefox, even if you click the &#8216;X&#8217;.</p><p>It is incredibly distracting.
