3 Reasons For Running Image Only Ads With Google Adsense July 31, 2018 Heikal 0 <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">I want to share with you an amazing revelation I had just the other day with Google Adsense that has 100% changed my approach to maximizing my earnings with Adsense.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> As you already know, sites that are running Google Adsense are a dime a dozen. It’s hard to go anywhere on the web these days and <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">not </em>see Google Adsense ads running. From sites as big as NYTimes and Mashable, to blogs as small as my tablet pc blog, Adsense ads are the prime choice of content producers for earning revenue.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> But have you ever wondered, like I have, what are the best ways to capitalize on the Adsense ads you are currently running? I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent optimizing my Google Adsense campaigns – testing, analyzing, then switch things up, then analyzing data so more. I mean, if there were an award for the most time testing Google Adsense theory, then I would be first prize winner!</div> <h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: "Maven Pro"; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; line-height: 1.18; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">My Miraculous Google Adsense Revelation</span></h4> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Just the other day, something happened to me that opened my eyes in a HUGE way when it comes to Google Adsense. I mean, I’ve been earning revenue with Google Adsense since 2005 and I’ve never realized this thing that hit me like a ton of bricks, just the other day.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> What my eyes were opened to really, for me anyway, answered a long standing question I’ve always asked myself about Google Adsense strategy. And that is: <em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">should I use image and text ads, or just image ads, or just text ads?</span></em></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> If you are anything like me, then you’ve probably asked yourself that question a million times and tested things out ten million times. But just the other day, what I discovered has completely answered my question once and for. Or maybe until someone convinces me otherwise – but for now, this is pretty definitive.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> So in line with my title: <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">3 Reasons For Image Only Ads with Google Adsense,</em>let me start with #1.</div> <h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: "Maven Pro"; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; line-height: 1.18; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: blue;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">1) </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Image ads have a substantially higher chance of being clicked</span></span></h4> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> This is actually easy to see by looking at a text image ad. Here’s an image of 728 x 90 (square) Google Adsense text ad:</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <a class="fusion-no-lightbox" href="https://bippermedia.com/2012/02/06/google-adsense-image-only-ads/728-90-adsense-2/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0087d6; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color; transition-timing-function: linear;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-268" height="92" sizes="(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px" src="https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/728-90-adsense1.png" srcset="https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/728-90-adsense1-300x46.png 300w, https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/728-90-adsense1.png 588w" style="border-style: none; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: top;" title="728-90-adsense" width="588" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> This is very identifiable image ad that I’m sure you’ve seen a million times while browsing through your favorite blogs and news sites. But what I want to point out about the Adsense text ad is what I call <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">dead space </em>within the ad itself.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">What is dead space?</em></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Dead space is something that is only found in Google Adsense text ads, and it’s the space between the linked (or clickable) title and the URL (which is also clickable. The deadspace is simply the text that falls in between the title and URL.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Next time you’re looking at a Google Adsense text ad, go ahead and try to click the text in between the title and URL, you’ll notice you can’t. And this is the dead space where you could potentially be losing out on valuable clicks.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Compare the text ads with an image ad, and you’ll see that image ads 100% remove the dead space, and as such, dramatically improves your chances of your ad being clicked. The logic here is simple – the more pixels on your screen that are occupied by a “clickable” portion of your ad, the higher your chances are of your ad being clicked.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> So with image ads, you’ll instantly increase your chances of generating more clicks because your clickable ad space increases by quite a lot.</div> <h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: "Maven Pro"; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; line-height: 1.18; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: blue;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">2) Smaller Competitive Market Space</span></span></h4> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> I have, from time to time, had a member of Google Adsense contact me to talk about my overall ad strategy with my blog. And everytime, the Adsense rep states that running both text and image ads helps you increase your chances of making more money. They (being Adsense) believes that by running text and image ads, you have more marketers available to compete for your clicks which in turn, increases the profitability of each ad that runs.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> From my experience, I actually see the opposite at work. When I run both Adsense text and image ads, the total revenue earned decreases. And I believe it’s because when you run text and image ads, your marketplace of available ads increases dramatically which allows Google’s system to a lower value on each ad impression.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> But when you run image ads only, you are decreasing your market supply. With a smaller competitive market now bidding on your market space, it would make sense to me that the amount an advertiser is willing to spend would increase for your site – not decrease.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> This leads me to reason #3 as to why I’m a strong proponent to image only Adsense ads.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Higher eCPM</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> When you run image only ads there is now a much smaller pool of advertisers who ads available to run on your site. Which tells me that the remaining advertisers who are available to compete with your ad space would be willing to spend more for each impression. To me, it’s a simple law of supply and demand. When the supply is high, the price demand per unit is low. When supply is low, the price demand per unit is high.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> In the world of Google Adsense, this “supply and demand” equation is represented in the eCPM – ” or the “effective cost per thousand impressions.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Here’s an image of what I’m talking about in regards to eCPM:</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <a class="fusion-no-lightbox" href="https://bippermedia.com/2012/02/06/google-adsense-image-only-ads/adsense-ecpm/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0087d6; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color; transition-timing-function: linear;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-273" height="320" sizes="(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px" src="https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/adsense-ecpm.jpg" srcset="https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/adsense-ecpm-300x182.jpg 300w, https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/adsense-ecpm.jpg 526w" style="border-style: none; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: top;" title="adsense-ecpm" width="526" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Find a way to increase your eCPM, and you’ll in turn increase your earning potential. Your earnings per click will increase because of your increased eCPM. Basically, eCPM is a value indicator that drives the amount your earn per ad impression.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Image only ads will contribute to a higher eCPM because, as I’ve stated already, image ads increase your total “clickable” ad space per page, and will lean the supply and demand side of the ad inventory in your favor.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Like I said, if you talk to the folks at Adsense, they will more than likely tell you the exact opposite is true. That by running both image ads and text ads you will in turn increase your earning potential because you’ll have more advertisers competing for your ad spot.</div> <h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: "Maven Pro"; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; line-height: 1.18; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: blue;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">3) Higher CPC Bids for Image Ads</span></span></h4> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> With image ads, you’ll typically find that advertisers are willing to pay more per click than with a regular text ad. This is true in a lot of cases because advertisers place more value on an image ad than a text ad. Think about, with a text ad in a 728 x 90 banner ad (see banner image above), the available advertising space in the banner will have not only your text ad, but the text ads of your direct competitors. And even if the other ads aren’t direct competitors, they are still competing for the click.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> But if you run a 728 x 90 image only ad, your business now occupies the entire pixel space of the banner ad. Let me put a text ad and a banner ad together so you can see what I’m talking about:</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">728 x 90 text ad</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <a class="fusion-no-lightbox" href="https://bippermedia.com/2012/02/06/google-adsense-image-only-ads/728-90-adsense-2/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0087d6; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color; transition-timing-function: linear;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-268" height="92" sizes="(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px" src="https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/728-90-adsense1.png" srcset="https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/728-90-adsense1-300x46.png 300w, https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/728-90-adsense1.png 588w" style="border-style: none; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: top;" title="728-90-adsense" width="588" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">728 x 90 image ad</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <a class="fusion-no-lightbox" href="https://bippermedia.com/2012/02/06/google-adsense-image-only-ads/4h-robotics_ad-728x90-2/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0087d6; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color; transition-timing-function: linear;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-277" height="74" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" src="https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/4H-robotics_ad-728x901.jpg" srcset="https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/4H-robotics_ad-728x901-300x37.jpg 300w, https://1zxfeqfrfkn1g7h701frbwes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/4H-robotics_ad-728x901.jpg 600w" style="border-style: none; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: top;" title="4H-robotics_ad-728x90" width="600" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> In the text ad above, notice how there are actually four advertisers presented in the 728 x 90 ad space. But in the image ad, it’s only one advertiser that’s occupying the entire ad space.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Because image ads occupy 100% of the available ad space, you’ll typically find advertisers will to spend a little bit more per click than with a text ad.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> And if an advertiser is spending more money per click on an image ad, then if you are running image only ads, you’ll be the recipient of the higher bidding.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">So what about your experience?</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Looking at your experiences with Google Adsense, do you find that (or would you agree) that image only ads are more valuable than running text and image ads?</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #686868; font-family: Lato; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.45px; margin-bottom: 20px;"> If not, then what is your experience in split testing the two different strategies?</div> </div> GOOGLE ADSENSE 3 Reasons For Running Image Only Ads With Google Adsense I want to share with you an amazing revelation I had just the other day with Google Adsense that has 100% changed my approach to maximizi...

Be cordial and ask them what better plans they have to offer you. Nothing’s going to get you shot down quicker than getting angry and screaming, “HOW DARE YOU SCREW ME OVER WITH THESE PRICES.

These places work if you want to compete with people all over the world in a race to do the most work for less. No thanks.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Look at what you’ve already got. 95% of jobs can translate into some sort of side gig.

I can teach you everything you need to know over one weekend, and you’ll know 3-5 great dishes to cook.” I appreciated the offer, but wrote back, “Thanks for the offer! But you don’t understand.

Maybe your list looks like:</div> <ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;"> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Do a little PHP coding</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Organize systems</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Automate complex processes</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Project manage</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Create technical documents that can be understood by lay audiences</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Lead a team</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Now ask yourself: Which of these skills can solve a specific problem? Brainstorm those out. Don’t censor yourself — put everything down.</div> <ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;"> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">I could do some PHP coding, but I’m not the best.</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">I could help businesses automate and streamline their income-generating processes. Vague, but okay.</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">I could manage projects and lead teams towards deadlines / organizing. This is super vague, any 22-year-old college grad would say he could do the same, and it doesn’t take advantage of my specific skills. Skip this.</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">I could be a technical writer and help companies demystify their technical-support documents. I could even rewrite the technical portions of their websites to make them more comprehensible to normal people, especially companies in the consumer energy field. Very promising, especially since I follow a few of these companies online.</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Each of these individually is a potentially viable freelance trade – can you pick one and do it? The answer should be YES/NO to each. Put “YES” if even remotely feasible.</div> <ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;"> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">PHP coding: YES</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Automate systems: NO (too vague for me to know where to start)</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Project manage: NO (too vague)</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Technical writer: YES</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Excellent.

In this case, it’s not very relevant, since technical writing and PHP coding are pretty different. But one of the people who helps on IWT pitched me to do video editing + marketing. Perfect fit. I hired him.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Next step: How can you prove to people that you’re knowledgeable enough for them to pay you?</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The first thing I do when evaluating someone is look at their portfolio and past clients. At least half of potential hires don’t have this section. Easy solution! I move on to someone who does.</div> <ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;"> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">For our systems engineer, can he point to a PHP project he did on the side?</li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">What about a sample of technical writing where he turned something very complicated into something totally palatable?</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Last step: Start finding clients. With your offering in place it’s time to find potential clients. Sure you could randomly print business cards or set up a blog. But before doing ANY of that you need to make sure you have something people want.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; font-family: salvo, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> – Identify your clients. Who are they? What are their hopes and dreams? How old are they? What do they do? Are they married?
