If you are an independent professional or solo consultant, how should you use getting published to increase revenues? First, understand that generating leads is an investment and should be measured like any other investment. Next, quit wasting money on ineffective means like 
brochures, advertising and sponsorships. The best marketing investment you can make is to get help creating informative websites, hosting persuasive seminars, booking speaking engagements, and getting published as a newsletter columnist and eventually as a book author.
The first challenge for professionals, consultants and small business owners is creating new clients. There is a proven process for marketing with integrity and getting a 400 percent to 2000 percent return on your marketing investment. To attract new clients, the best approach is the Educating Expert Model that demonstrates your expertise by giving away valuable information through writing and speaking.
