Consulting to Leap Forward

While the free guides are full of great information, they also require some time for you to understand and use. If you want to up your learning curve and work with me to develop strategies and tactics specifically for your business, I provide consulting services for:

  • Online Marketing and Social Media: Review your current online marketing strategy and social media plan (including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon, YouTube, etc.) and develop integrated online and offline marketing plans tied to your business and product goals. Review your website content and website analytics to create online and social media marketing strategies.
  • Business and product strategy: Review your current business strategies, review your ideas for growth and create new strategies and tactics.

How does it work?

  • Price: New Client: $49 for first 30 minutes, $125 per hour afterward. Existing Client: $125 per hour.
  • Process: Go to this page to schedule and pay for a consulting session. Once payment has been received and a day and time has been selected, I’ll confirm by email. Our consulting session will through a conversation over the phone, and after the session I’ll email you a document summarizing our conversation, the links we discussed and we’ll determine next steps.

    Hi Taylor,
    Congratulations :-) One of the things I have noticed is an increased specialism in business sectors, where experience is being channelled into helping business owners achieve their goals.
    Your Free Advice To Start is great, I am going to take a read, although I am an amateur ( very) photographer !
    Are you thinking that maybe you may do exclusive premium content for photographers ? It is another strategy I see being used more and more often.

    Specialization (and more niches) is a natural part of the industry's development. And yes, @photoshelter's free advice is a great place to start.

    I'd love to hear what kind of exclusive premium content you would find valuable.
