How do you build a high traffic niche website?

I have focused on building my website based on deep content but you might find that Pat Flynn's niche site duel has some helpful ideas as he shows you two examples of how he built a high traffic niche site: http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/nichesiteduel/

How can I market my management consulting service through a website?

I have worked with large companies over many years. Getting past the gate keeper is not always easy. But they all use email.
Create value for them that they can access
Publish on Linkedin Publisher, upload slide decks to slide share, create videos on linkedin. Put links to these in your email signature which they will receive when they hear from you.
When you meet them, ask face to face if you can add them to your mailing list and then set up auto responders to deliver this content to them in short simple emails with a link to the content.
Do get in touch if you would like to discuss further...
Warm regards, John

I highly recommend John as a public speaker on the subjects of entrepreneurship, online marketing and motivation.

Izabela and I organised the first podcasting conference, this decade in the UK, and John was one of six speakers during the one day event.

He created an amazing and inspiring speech that inspired attendees during the event and afterwards on Twitter and other social media channels. He encouraged and inspired many of our attendees. I would highly recommend John as a speaker - he's personable, kind and provides great value.

John welcomed me to his Online Learning Podcast. He very professionally walked me through the concept of his show, how the interview will be recorded and gave me an idea of what will be discussed.

During recording he made me (a rather nervous speaker) feel calm, confident and able to deliver my message. Great host and a pleasure to work with.

I had the pleasure of hearing John speak at UK Podcasters 2014 and his talk was excellent and full of energy. I've implemented the strategies he gave and I'm seeing results already!

I have know John Colley for over a year and I can recommend him whole-heartedly not only a great public speaker but also as an expert in a wide variety of financial and marketing fields.

John is an expert on M&A, capital raising, angel investing, company sales, etc., as a result of his time in the city and ongoing interest, which is impressive enough. But added to that he also is hugely knowledgable in the modern fields of online promotion, social media, blogging and podcasting which are essential to businesses today. This, as far as I'm concerned, is a fairly unique mix.

I have seen John talk in conferences as well as in front of a whiteboard in smaller meetings and he is always able to impart his knowledge in an engaging and educative manner.

I should also say that John has a special interest in online learning and his passion for self-education comes over in his talks.

I have listened to John's podcast for some time and recently had the pleasure of hearing him deliver a speech at the UKPod14 conference where we also chatted briefly afterwards.
John's talk was carefully planned and expertly delivered providing just the right mix of information, audience participation and engaging stories. I made copious notes and have implemented several of his tips since - very useful.
I would definitely recommend John as a highly competent and engaging speaker.

I recently heard John speak at UKPod14, a national conference for podcasters in the UK.

John spoke passionately and knowledgeably about launching and promoting a podcast.

John's strategic approach to this subject, providing actionable takeaways for any business or entrepreneur looking to add podcasting to their marketing mix, was extremely well received.

He is an engaging, inspiring and knowledgeable speaker. As someone who has presented on the B2B circuit for numerous years, I've heard a lot of talks myself; John's enthusiasm and strategic understanding of marketing and business put him right up amongst the best.

I saw John give an excellent talk at a conference in Birmingham. His talk, which was late in the day, was the first one on the day delivered with real passion and knowledge. John used the entire stage (unlike others that day) and really kept the audience engaged. He kept my attention throughout and gave excellent, actionable advice which had everyone furiously writing notes.

We have invited John to give a speech at the podcasting conference (#ukpod14). John didn't fail to deliver. His speech was engaging, full of brilliant content and to the point. Through the whole process John was very professional, punctual and simply a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a great speaker - John has it all!

I met John when he spoke at the Salisbury Big Business Event in April and attended a seminar he ran entitled “How NOT to be the next Comet. Online Marketing in the Connected Economy"

John’s presentation was well delivered and full of useful help and advice on how to implement an effective on line marketing strategy and how to connect with your customers effectively.

Having now signed up to his newsletter the advice keeps coming, generating new ideas on how to continue developing not only our online presence but general approach to growing the business as a whole.
