Guest post by: an Invoice Factoring service provider on the web.

Almost all actions that we do face to face we can also do with an internet connection. In this age of digital, billions of people surf the internet at any given time and close to every company and service can be found online. Every day we bank, shop, play, school and connect with others online, and because the internet is such a huge information influence in our life’s we can actually make money online. As technology grows so grows the demand for web based services which influences experienced virtual entrepreneurs and freelancers to offer them.

Virtual entrepreneurs and freelancers are self-employed individuals that are not committed to any particular employer. The more popular types of web based freelancer options include writing, web designing, computer programming, online sales, SEO services and brand ambassadors.

These self-employed individuals advertise their services and products to the proper niche and then clients hire them, buy their products or use their services. One of the more touchy areas of the client/independent contractor relationship is the issue of when and how to collect funds. So below is a quick guide on how to do so.

How to Collect Revenue From Web Based Clients

Upfront Communication

One of the easiest ways to ensure payment for product or services is to communicate with your clients. Informing clients of fees, payment methods and payment expectations beforehand will keep the relationship professional and avoid any unnecessary negatives.

Get Support

Getting the support you need in your freelancing efforts can mean increase in sales. Zoho is a company that offers a host of different business applications to ensure a happy client/contractor relationship that includes financial management, business reporting and invoicing.

Signed Contracts

Some services may require a little more insurance and signed contracts is the way to get it. Draw up a professional contract that details the product or service you are offering and payment
expectation and have your client sign and return it before you start working

Professional Invoicing

One of the best ways to influence return clients and recommendations is to be professional in every step including collection of revenue. Invoicera is a company that allows you to create professional invoicing and price estimates.

With all the tools available to us on the net, there’s no reason not to be able to collect revenue from online or web-based clients.

As a web marketer you most likely are also an info junkie. Whether you’re an info junkie or not, you still need to stay abreast of the MANY changes that take place in the world of web marketing.

However I would go a step further and say that you not solely focus on web marketing, as this could minimize the overall picture, but study marketing in general. One of the fun aspects of marketing is that thinking “outside the box” is required, this is what I most love about it. So don’t just read “web marketing” blogs, but marketing blogs in general. With this in mind, consider it a personal challenge to take your blog from zero visitors to a hundred a day via a good marketing plan. (or whatever other challenge you seek to implement) For some good reading on the topic, we have compiled what we believe are five GOOD blogs for web marketers.

1. Inc.com Online Marketing Blog – one of my fave blogs on the topic of marketing. They cover online marketing from A to Z, but don’t solely focus on this sub niche. Great tips and ideas are found here and surely an hour or two on this site, will get your juices flowing and breathe new life into whatever web plans you have.

2. Small Biz Trends – this is a multi author blog on topics of interest to small business owners, as such included is marketing. Lots of solid tips can be found at Small Biz Trends, whether you seek ideas or simply need inspiration for a new web project, this site will help you. A must in your RSS feed.

3. Entrepreneur, The Daily Dose – this would be my second favorite blog for web marketing and marketing in general. Perhaps you need a spitfire course on Google Plus, or maybe you never signed up for Facebook and now are playing catch up – The Daily Dose from Entrepreneur.com should do the trick.

4. Social Media Examiner – for those who need a good education on social media marketing, this is the go to site for you. Everything social media is covered here including how to sign up for your social network of choice, how to best use it, ways to get the best out of it, why monetize, ways to grow your presence and followers, ideas and tips on marketing your blog through social media and loads more. My advice is to visit the site and then perform a search on whatever social media tips or info you seek. The results returned should yield plenty of material for you to immerse yourself in.

5. Entrepreneur’s Journey – a well rounded site on entrepreneurship and of course this would entail the category of marketing as well. The site digs deep into profiles of successful web entrepreneurs and how they achieved their success including the marketing plans and strategies they have used to achieve their web nirvana.

If you have yet to visit any of the sites and blogs above, we recommend you pay them a visit today and get started on GOOD web marketing info, tips and ideas.

Lynn Terry was gracious enough to do a video interview with me regarding her upcoming book launch on affiliate marketing. In the interview below she discusses four questions I sent regarding her Affiliate Starter Guide. Have a look!

I wanted to get inside her mind and see what nuggets of wisdom I could extract. Do watch the video as she answers the following questions.

1. What inspired the book – Affiliate Starter Guide?
2. On Facebook, Lynn mentioned she would be creating digital versions of her guide, so I asked what difficulties she has faced so far with the many different book formats available now to authors?
3. I also wanted to know what she considers to be some of the toughest things about affiliate marketing? Like any business, affiliate marketing has its challenges, see what Lynn has to say about this.
4. And last, but not least – when does her book come out and via which channels?

via YouTube

You must watch this fantastic video interview with Lynn Terry and do join her mailing list (link above) to get notices about her Affiliate Starter Guide. Oh! and when you sign up you’ll also get an exclusive mini-report on the “Top 20 Problems with Affiliate Marketing”.

Cheers,
Missy

p.s. Looking for the book she mentions in the video? Lynn mentions the Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner in the video (and reviews it on her blog) if you’d like to learn more about that.

p.s.s My guide on becoming a Super Blogga will be out soon, to get notice follow me on Twitter or subscribe to my newsletter via email.
