Liz, you’re absolutely right – it’s always good to look for opportunities to partner with others and build out both your network and theirs. Being an entrepreneur doesn’t mean you have to always do everything by yourself.

Thanks for putting together this mind-expanding list. I particularly enjoyed this comment on the last bullet: “After you have established your niche around your expertise and knowledge, tie it into other people’s niches, either across levels of skill or across related skills needed to pull together larger projects”.

There’s really no end to what we can do when we think about all the possibilities.

Good point – I should have used numbers instead of bullets to make it clear that I rolled up 4-7 into that last bullet. You make a good point about physical product, or for that matter even software products. Most of the online marketing advice we see these days is geared toward info products. I guess we’ll have to learn about the physical products together as we go.

Nice post, Mike. Halfway through I’m like, “What? What 3 income streams am I missing?”

And as I just started consulting with a company selling physical products online, I’d love to hear of any similar approaches toselling physical products.

@Joshua thanks! I really appreciate the positive feedback. The casual tone definitely feels more comfortable and fits me better.

@Kim, you’re so right. The breakthrough for me was realizing that tightening the niche doesn’t stop you from doing other related work of broader scope. It just puts the strongest and most noteworthy aspects of your offering front and center to start the conversation about what you can actually do for your prospect.

Interesting post, Mike -
Many of us tend to be too general when offering services. You’ve given some great examples here of what you can do when you focus. The starting point is to get very clear and specific about what you do best for your clients – as you say, Dave’s workbooks can really help with that.
