My 600th Post: Are You Going After the Big Fish?

Hi Everyone,

I'm celebrating my 600th post! Hurray! I try to share things that I've learned over the years whenever I reach a milestone with my posts, and even though I've been doing internet marketing for almost 5 years now, I wanted to share something I've only recently started to take advantage of.

Going after the "big fish".

Don't get me wrong, little sales add up, but I am learning that if you are targeting big clients, you are able to spend more time into building your relationship with them, thus increasing your chances for a sale.

I do quite a bit in the "offline" field, and am able to approach people on a personal level. Once they hire me, I am able to understand their business and deliver my services in a way that meets their needs. I am also able to show them WHY they need me and exactly HOW I help them.

The other week one of my clients invited me to a get together where their business colleagues meet, and I will have the opportunity to promote my business to them with the backing of my client.

In this case, one client that is already making me hundreds of dollars, is leading me to the potential to make much, much more.

I am trying to take this way of thinking to my actions as an affiliate. I am working on building a list for a high-ticket item and am going to really reach out to the list and try to encourage individual contact. Of course this will take more of my time, but if my commission sales are XXX instead of XX, well that makes it more than worth it right?
