Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

💻 Build a Strong Online Presence

People will often read a book by its cover. The cover here is your online presence. To ensure you’re emphasising your skills and expertise make sure your website looks polished, professional and clearly communicates the value you offer. To boost your organic sales and attract clients more easily, optimize your site for search engines and create high-quality content on TikTok and Instagram that clearly demonstrates your expertise. I also suggest using platforms like LinkedIn to network with potential clients and consistently showcase your work and the great results you get for your clients to further market what you have to offer.

👀 Review Your Offering

Offering value upfront can act as a powerful lead magnet for high-paying clients. I love providing valuable free resources such as eBooks and webinars to capture emails to nurture and demonstrate my expertise. You can also offer free short consultations to understand client needs and showcase your problem-solving skills. Curating high-end packaging that offers additional value and highlights the return on investment your services provide is a fantastic way to attract and keep clients. Remember, once you have those high-paying clients on your roster, it’s crucial to continue giving them great treatment so they stay with you. 

👑 Positioning is Queen

In order to attract high-paying clients you must position yourself as an expert, right? Well, how the hell do we do that? One great way is to attend industry events and think tanks, you can take it one step further and even speak at these events. Conferences, industry think tanks and seminars are where a lot of your high-paying clients will be hanging out, so showcasing your expertise will help you make those connections and demonstrate your expertise. Media appearances like podcasts are other great ways to market your skills and services - you never know who could be listening!

ZaZa Pita Chips

I love a thin crispy chip! So ZaZa’s really hit the mark. They’re thin, crispy and baked in small batches with extra virgin olive oil and their custom za’atar spice blend (a mix of sesame seeds, sumac and savory). Dip in hummus or enjoy them on their own. The best snack for mindlessly chomping while you’re working.
