Yo yo yo! When you’re starting to figure out where your bread is gonna come

from, you could be making this old school mistake.

You don’t have two different types of clients anymore:

Real Life Clients vs. Virtual Clients

You see, all of your “real life clients”

and your “virtual clients”

are going tolook for you

on the corner on the internet.

She will ask her friends firstif they know a designer

she could hire,but her friends may reply

with either a) they did and that wench

was horrible or b) no they haven’t.

Meet Mabel

Betty said don’t hire this one designer because she thought that wench was trying

to make a move on her man!

That chick must have been blind, I mean you’d have to see Stan, but he’s about as hot

Gary Busey. Just sayin’ .

Next, Mabel will be Googling, not using the doorstop

formerly known as the phone book,

to find aninterior designer.

I just found out about the internet. There’s lots of dirty

pictures on there of some girlpeople call “Fire Crotch”.

Let’s just say my eyes have been violated.

your clients are still gonna Google you,

read your blog,virtually judge you and then decide if they want

to contact you.

All of this based almost entirely on your online

presence i.e. your website.

Referrals are great, but...

Ponder And repeat.

For a while.

Before she contacts you...

patience, grasshopper.

I got your “Two Bytes”right here.

And by “bytes”, I do mean “bite-sized”.

The old way of doing interior design is dead.

It’s really important to acknowledge that because

whether or not you want to have an eDecorating business or not, you need your interior

design business online.

You need to have a virtual pad that turns your clients on,

not in that way.

Trying to get interior design clients with a shitty website design

does nothing but make your job

ten times harder. Girl, if you gots one of them

fugly websites that looks like adonkey’s ass, you best start

hustling to get yourself a new website.

Your website, your blog content,

your keyword research, your branding --

all together is what is going to pull

you through to continue to make money.

It is a work in progress and it is something that you will

continue to build.

Go big or go home.
