Diana Schneidman wrote Real Skills, Real Income: A Proven Marketing System to Land Well-Paid Freelance and Consulting Work in 30 Days or Less to help the unemployed, the underemployed, and current solopros who underearn to land more clients quickly. The book explains exactly what to do and say to start building your clientele in less than a month.
Put your real skills to work earning a real income from business clients (because businesses have the money to pay for services and they want your help).
Real Skills, Real Income: A Proven Marketing System to Land Well-Paid Freelance and Consulting Work in 30 Days or Less shows you exactly how to land desirable assignments as a:
• Writer

• Package designer
• Photographer

• Corporate trainer
• Human resources administrator
• Marketing consultant
• Internet marketing consultant
• Conference and event planner
• Virtual assistant providing administrative and technical support services
• A freelancer or consultant doing almost anything that a company needs done
Specifically, the book recommends that you:
1. Offer a service as similar as possible to what you did in your last good full-time job.
2. Contact the best prospects individually . . . and since today’s marketing gurus recommend developing personal relationships, why not start with a no-pressure, simple phone call?
3. Get real! Let’s define quickly as 30 days, not 30 minutes.
The book has two unique features that make it especially useful to people who do not already have a large clientele:
1. Instructions on 15 fast actions to put all your business pieces in place on Day 1.
2. Seventeen widely recommended marketing tools to take off your to-do list for the next month and perhaps far into the future. These activities seldom yield substantial results in 30 days and furthermore take time away from faster-acting marketing.
Move your bank account into the black and enjoy the career opportunities and income you deserve. Real Skills, Real Income: A Proven Marketing System to Land Well-Paid Freelance and Consulting Work in 30 Days or Less can help you achieve exactly that!
P.S. Keep reading the book to the very end. You’ll find a secret link (unavailable through Google) to an MP3 audio and Word script that will help you telephone with ease.
