Ongoing career and personal development, because you can never be expert enough and need to keep up with the times
If you are an expert, then you already understand the importance of ongoing development.
So let's talk about marketing to potential customers. Someday we might allow advertising, but that's not what we're really about. What we're about is engagement. Being able to network and engage in a sheltered space with people who are all interested in proposals, business development, and capture is much better than advertising if those are your potential customers. We recommend that you:
Take a step back from selling
Focus on demonstrating your capabilities and expertise instead of claiming it
Embrace the idea of an audience collective
So let's talk about the audience collective because it's a big deal.
You may have an audience. We have our existing audience. Both the combined total of everyone else's audience dwarfs both of us. What if we all contribute to the audience? There is some advantage to you in having some of your audience on the site to engage with. It will help you achieve engagement with people you meet. There is also advantage in associating with quality people.
We have set PropLIBRARY up so that when you refer people, it can be tracked. And you get rewarded for referring people. Depending on the number of referrals, this could be a little bonus or a major source of revenue. But revenue isn't the point. The point is to recognize participants who contribute to the audience collective. We will be doing this actively and it's probably worth more than the referral revenue share.
Since you may be wondering for each person you refer who subscribes for 3 months, you'll get credit for one month. Refer 12 subscribers and a year of subscribing to PropLIBRARY is free of charge. Refer 1200 subscribers and the Make 1,200 referrals at the Premium level and the cash-out value to you would be $38,400.
However, getting recognized on our site and in out newsletter for being a top referrer could be worth even more than that if it brings you new clients.
There are also opportunities here:
To demonstrate your experience through discussions on PropLIBRARY
Publish articles and get in front of the audience
Publish ebooks, presentations, or other files and charge what you will for them
Create online courses and sell them to the audience
The advantage of putting your online training here is the audience.
You have just as many opportunities to get in front of the audience here as we do. If our approach to building an audience collective is successful, then consultants like you could earn more on PropLIBRARY than we do from hosting it. And because an audience collective creates an audience far larger than our own, if that happens we will be quite happy with the outcome.
This post is plenty long enough. Feel free to ask questions, drill down to specifics, or move the discussion in the direction you want it to go.
