@Tom

That’s BAD NEWS for my blog if Google Alerts missed this mention! It means I’m not being indexed.

Better check my Google Webmaster account to see what the problem is! Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Kathy, Thanks for the mention. I just noticed it today when I was in Technorati. I have no idea why Google Alerts and the word press dashboard misses links. Do you? Anyway on the topic of spec work. A new coach who wants to prove his or her worth will indeed coach at a smaller fee or pro bono just to get in the coaching hours for mastery. I built my practice initially by leaving the amount of payment totally up to the client. I let them determine the value and it worked well.

Very good points written here, Kathy. I also believe that a way to build trust is to not always write only about things that you like, or that please you. There are some things that irritate all of us, and if you're being balanced, you'll share those things as well as the good things. Mitchs last blog post..Widget Bucks Has A New Widget

@Kathy and Ari -- yes, when all things are equal, perception is everything! If someone is looking for a music producer, a graphic artist, a freelance writer or whatever, one of the few things they can base their guesses on are the perception they get from your website and other marketing materials. It's kind of like going into a job interview wearing sweats and an old shirt. Unless you are applying for the position of gym teacher, you won't get very far. On the other hand if you are dressed for success -- if you look the part -- you will be much more likely to land the gig. ~Graham Graham Strongs last blog post..The Art of Perception (Part II): If You Hear Hooves…
