How To Boost Your Income This Week
Many freelancers fail to see one very obvious way in which they can earn extra money this week. If you currently serve your clients with ghostwriting, then the easiest and quickest way to add more cash to your business is to increase your income streams. Offer more services and add them to your portfolio.
It sounds easy doesn’t it?
Well, it actually is. Since you have already built up a good dialogue with your clients, the fastest way to boost your income THIS WEEK is to contact your existing clients and offer them additional services.
But before you do, read on…
The secret to doing this successfully is to do it smartly. Instead of trying to upsell your customers on extra services you want to provide to earn extra cash, look at what THEY NEED to increase THEIR bottom line.
Everybody wants to earn more cash. That’s a fact!
We all want to increase our profits while decreasing our own efforts. This should be your key point to remember when marketing your talents to your existing clientele. If they run an offline business and you are their chosen copywriter, you could partner up with a web designer and sell them a kick-ass website design to polish up their online appearance to help them make more money – good design sells, right! If you are good with coding then do it yourself to earn even more.
There are dozens of ways with which you can grow your income real fast if you are prepared to analyze your client’s business while keeping their interests at heart.
What’s in it for them?
Once you get to the core strategies of what could make their business tick even more, you’ve got them where you want them to be. Doing this successfully is about being smart and planning ahead.
Earn hundreds more each months by implementing this strategy
I have successfully applied and implemented these tips into my own business and ONE CLIENT alone is worth $600/month extra to me now thanks to extra services I provide. If it weren’t for me dropping ‘hints’ about my ability to provide that type of work, the client would never have bothered asking me in the first place – and no, it’s not writing.
Do you think you can do this too?
Tell me about your own success stories in regards to boosting your income by upselling your services to existing clients.

This makes great sense – I guess, what you want to do is increase the effectiveness of what you offer (i.e. help your clients get more for their money from you, encourage them to spend more money on your services rather than others etc.)
And at the same time, increase your own efficiency by becoming more effective at what *you* do while providing services i.e. use the right tools or better tools so that you can get the work done faster, take on more clients and so on.
(Or spend more time watching sunsets, if that’s what you want to do that day!)

@ Brett: In a sense, yes. Growing your business is about increasing your income without the stresses of finding new clients all the time. The best way to do this is by working with your existing clients and helping them get more money – hence, you add extra services to your repertoire.
However, this of course would only be possible if there is a) a market and b) you can actually provide these services yourself or else by outsourcing them first and then provide to your clients. If there is a will, there are multiple ways to increase ones income.
