Can you help me with this difficulty
 
I was watching last Friday, May 11, 2007 “Till Debt Do We Part”. This is where a financial expert goes to a home were the people are in great debt. The people who have the debt are going crazy. One of the three methods the expert does is having them get more income.

This woman who was in debt had an accounting business in her home. She was instructed to make $500 more a month. She put a classified ad in the paper and got business. Unfortunately I did not see the ad. Can anyone help me with developing a good Classified ads that can increase my accounting practice but I have an office out of the house so I need a little more money. Thank you for any help.

Hi Joe,

I'd be happy to try to help with some ideas here, but I think it would help if I knew a little more about your business. Are there any accounting areas that you specialize in or are there certain businesses that you tend to work with? How did you get the clients you have now?

You know there are other ways to bring in more money besides getting new clients. What additional products or services could you offer to your existing clients who already know, like and trust you? Have you asked your existing clients what other things they could use help with?

Best regards,

Steve

Joe,

Thanks for making me laugh.

You have a link to your own shop and claim to sell "books that can make you rich" and yet here you are asking us to help you make more money.

Here's an ad...

ACCOUNTING AVAILABLE. For business and homes. Tax Returns too. Call 555-5555

TEST it and see how it goes. Run it for a month.

Before You Pay for an Ad-Try This Sure Thing BRIBE Idea
 
Dear Joe,

Thanks for asking.

I help professional practice owners write ads constantly.

But BEFORE you risk your money.

Why not START with a sure thing?

Call up all your current Accounting clients. Offer them a BRIBE (Make a list and ask them to choose one) to refer you to 5 of their friends, relatives, business associates.

Explain that what you wanna do each of the 5 or 10 people they REFER a Thank You REWARD of an *ALL Expenses Paid Accounting Check-up* - in their name.

You client gets the credit for helping his friends double check their finances.

Referrals
from
TRUSTED
Friends and
Clients are 100 TIMES more profitable than running ads to attract strangers.

Thanks,

Glenn

P.S. - IF you still want to run an ad, you can Still do that too. Before you DO that. A Question: Who is your #1 most profitable client - what industry? So we can attract more just like him?

I have change my ad to "The books Guru use". And they sell to you. And indeed they are. They do help me. But Accounting is different. Or is It?
