How do you weed out potential clients who won't agree to pay your fees?

I have known buyers to interview high end contractors which they carefully turn in to a consultation. They might never be there to pay and are simply interviewing you for consultation on the topic and to get multiple options. This is unfair to you because you are spending time on a client that does not intend to contract.

You can recognize this when you see the client is starting to ask questions on how you would perform the job. While you can give 1-2 very generic tips or in other ways prove that you are the guy who can get it done, when it comes to this, you should ask for consultation fees. Once you ask for consultation fees from that point onward, it is completely clear - a willing client will hire you for a consultation get get all options they can benefit from or simply contract you for the actual task. A window shopper will back out.

The only thing to be careful about is, not to ask for consultation fees too soon into the conversation as a legitimate client may be curious about how good you are at what you do. This is something you can prove in multiple ways.

How do you determine partner equity?

It would also be a good idea to start from the willingness to contribute ie. the partner would be an active partner or simply investing and being an inactive partner - all in comparison to what skills, funds and workable solutions they are bringing to the table.

How do I expand my niche freelancing gig into a business?

People already having a Wikipedia page do make a small portion of my target market as they some times have edits / updates for their pages without violating Wikipedia policies or new pages for companies or products but mainly I am looking for new notable clients that do not yet have a Wikipedia page. This would maximize the jobs per client apart from the fact that my major service is creation of new Wikipedia pages. I agree linked in ads might be a way.. The issue is that they would also go to irrelevant or new companies without media coverage. Is there a way to get to only the companies that have already had media coverage? Perhaps budding celebrities (but not limited to a single niche) as well. What would be the best way to reach out optimally to such a target group?

Does anyone know a good way to find tech startups that may be interested in user acquisition services?

It might be a good idea to start from start up meetups, startup social / professional networks and linked in. As startups tend to clearly state the their early stage status on most of their profiles, it would be quite easy to target start up companies by targeted ads both by using date of establishment as well as startup related keywords to narrow down the audience.

How can I build an online virtual assistance business that supports itself and then sell it fast?

Your question is too generic and carries no details about what kind of business you are looking or and what niche you want to target but if you would like to sell the business when it matures (or nearly matures), better go for a single product business as it will have less complications and an easier exit strategy for you.

How do I convert my popular blog into a business?

Thanks alot for all the advice. Juggaar, being a generic term for its niche itself, has the advantage of being a blog that can target a huge market in South Asia and related diaspora. However, inherently, those interested in juggaar culture don't usually pay for information products or any thing that can come under DIY for that matter; it is a spirit of the niche itself, the reason the blog is popular in the first place.

I am thinking of online products that are not merely information products / ebooks... my niche is likely not going to pay for it. Hence my question of how to getting it around and turning it into something that either actually converts sales or snowballs users (or user generated content / activity / interaction) if it has to be just information.

How do you attract the press to write articles about the launch of your product?

Perhaps you might want to go for a wikipedia page instead as that ranks much higher than any press website.

What is the best way to find contractors for my marketing company?

If you go on a platform like Upwork, you may find already reviewed contractors. You may look at their work history, real life work experience and other profile details to make your decisions. I work on Upwork as a wikipedia page creator and have found that many of my newer clients usually search for the tag line and basic profile summary rather than work history - so it may make sense that you would like to hire those without a great work history on the platform itself as they may also be mentioning, *real life* experience and off platform experience which may lead you to hiring them on the same platform.

What should I do if the lowest price I can charge for some of my products is still twice to three times higher than that of my competitors?

Take your business to a niche where your competitors are no match for you. Take advantage of your experience and expertise. Make it cutting edge.

I write & publish Wikipedia pages, I charge around 3 times higher than what one would get normally from a freelance writer but the ones I create are not deleted by Wikipedia. With a history to demonstrate this, clients accept my higher prices and go for a page once that will stick rather than creating bad faith at wikipedia by going for non-compliant pages. This ofcourse involves real effort, expertise, technical know-how, a decade of experience, diligence and compliance from my end to ensure that it's worth the client's risk.

See how it fits to your business and how you can make sure that client is infact *willing* to pay your higher price himself rather than going for a lower priced "competitor". I put it in scare quotes because you are essentially wiping out competition and making sure that your competitors are no more your *direct* competitors.

You may already be there, but to relate that fact to the client and for client to be able to recognize and *appreciate* this, you would need to optimize your cover letter / sales pitch that does not delve into general promotional stuff about you - rather this should be a compact informative brief about what you can do which does not just out competes others, it makes them irrelevant for the client. As Jon Manning said, you will need to demonstrate yourself as a "5 star hotel" with actual work or credibility of past *clients* you've worked with. Once you've done that, the client will rather negotiate with you for hours to perhaps lower your price and finally accept *where ever* you take your last stand, but still not go to another provider. In anycase, it's an iterative process.
