Advices on Getting Clients

Getting Clients: "A process facilitator needs to have clients, of course. Particularly if you plan on being professional and making a living off of it. People need to be able to find you, and you need to keep their attention for long enough to get them in touch with what you do.

You can advertise for clients. That might be more or less appropriate depending on which area you are in. In most places there will be some kind of new age or alternative therapy advertising going on already and you would fit right in. In many areas there are local new age or holistic magazines that could be useful."

Three Easy Ways to Make Free Money Online

Hit6: "1. Start your own website or blog: This sounds difficult but is actually easier than ever. For around $10 dollars you can buy a domain name, download a free Word Press theme and you’re on your way. If you find a popular niche and attract subscribers the money will follow. By simply adding Google’s AdSense to your blog you can easily make $100 a month or more. Some people even make a living off their AdSense revenues. If you think small and remain patient generating income from you site or blog will happen. Don’t try to create a site that will make millions in year one or you will end up frustrated and defeated. Pick a niche that you are knowledgeable about and write unique content. Soon people will be linking to you and talking about you online. It should take off from there."
