		<description>This is really good advice - one of the things that worked best for me when I started consulting was to be very clear about what kind of clients I was looking for.

You turn away a lot of business, but it also makes it easier to close because clients will say (based on what they read on the website) &quot;I am your ideal client.&quot; That&#039;s really nice to hear.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve discovered that getting your &quot;Target&quot; right is the secret sauce for solopreneurs.  Specifically, I often define who I won&#039;t work with or Who my brand is NOT trying to serve.  This forces me to have a laser focus on delivering the right services to the right clients.

This discipline prevents &quot;brand creep&quot; - a chronic disease where the freelancer wakes up and realizes he/she is now chasing everyone for a gig.</description>

		<description>You do have to put your best foot forward while online (unless you&#039;re posting to a completely private facebook thread or something). But we&#039;ve all heard stories about how some Nike exec Tweets something stupid and then BANG, it blows up and goes viral. And while that might not exactly happen to you, if you act inappropriately and a potential client finds that, you might lose the gig.</description>

		<description>Hi Laura

Great ways to approach this.
I also like to consider the good old &quot;elevator pitch&quot;.
