How can YOU make yourself important?

1. List your qualifications and achievements on your "About" page.

2. Mention all big names and important people in your industry that you have worked with or have met.

3. List all media and press sources your name has been mentioned in, or you have worked closely with.

4. State your hourly fees that you charge for your services (if you're selling a product, which will save your customers that fee because they'll be able to tap into your expertise from your e-book, for example)

5. Add testimonials from your clients and colleagues that emphasize how great you are.

6. Mention how many years you have been in business, if at least over 5.

7. Be sure to list what courses you have taken and what certifications you hold. Especially if they're well known and appreciated in your target market.
