With the ongoing global economic crisis, this is the perfect time for everyone to get a job that is recession proof. I highly recommend freelance consulting. This is job for those people who are considered guru or experts on a particular field. For example, if you are very knowledgeable in Internet marketing, you can be an online marketing consultant. This is way better compared to having a 9am-5pm job these days. Here's why: 1. Work schedule. Unlike traditional 9am-5pm job, you will have direct control over your working hours if you are a freelance consultant. You can work after midnight and work for only 3-4 hours per day depending on the clients that you are serving. This means that you can have more time to spend with your family or do the things that you really love. 2. Salary. You can potentially make thousands of dollars every month as a freelance consultant depending on the number of your clients. It's important that you position yourself as the best in your chosen niche and that you aggressively promote yourself and your services to boost your sign up rate. Depending on your skill level and credentials, you can charge $25,000 per client. 3. Work from home. Having a lucrative job without leaving the comforts of your own home is the dream for a lot of people. You can make this come true by being a freelance consultant. You can offer your expertise, advice, and recommendations to your clients using the internet or your phone. You can even work in your pajamas if you want!
Consulting is one lucrative but highly competitive field. Here's how you can get ahead of the pack:
1. As a consultant, you must pay close attention to details and you must be able to deliver effective solutions on a timely manner. You are expected to be professional, organized, prompt, reliable, and of course, responsive. Your clients must not wait for more than 24 hours to get replies to their email inquiries otherwise; you'll surely lose their business. You are also expected to stay on top of latest trends and you must exert conscious effort to constantly increase your knowledge on your chosen field. 2. Analyze the problems first. Make some time to research and study all angles of the problems before you make suggestions or offer solutions. Identify relevant components and dynamics and make sure that you outline how elements fit together before you start formulating successful solutions. 3. Interpersonal skills. As a consultant, it's very important that you possess excellent verbal and listening skills. You must be able to effectively articulate your thoughts and you must be able to communicate in a very easy to understand manner while still sounding highly intelligent. 4. Be cross-functional. It would work to your advantage if you know the ins and outs of your chosen consulting field. You don't need to be experts on different disciplines but at least you must know a little bit of everything so your clients will not need to hire additional consultants for their other related problems. Through this, you can help these people save a lot of money in the long run.
