I'm grateful that today I can look at the world of working with a spiritually based business from a completely impartial standpoint. Due to health issues, I am no longer able to continue a sustainable practise in the same way I once did.Although my days of global travel to support my family and myself, as well as share my insights and teachings, are over, they are a joyful memory and a chance to reflect and help others in a different way.Those days were fantastic, life-changing, and full of new friends from all over the world. I can't be upset that my job has changed because the experiences have enhanced me and the connections have lasted a lifetime.Today, I like to write and share what I can. My point of view isn't for everyone, but it's out there without an agenda to help develop the credibility, consistency, and trust that so many people are battling with right now.From my now rather sedentary position, I see the desperation so clearly. In a field where scepticism is rife. It’s tough on social media, to provide a sustainable service.Although I had been working online in addition to in person for many years, the COVID lockdowns drove the diehard technophobes to adapt, and adapt they did. I recall several co-workers asking for assistance in setting up their Zoom meetings, etc. I'm thrilled that the options are expanding and that folks with valuable experience may reach people all across the world who cannot visit them in person.But where does that leave the ones who are starting out or struggling, and haven’t built a solid reputation? You could be forgiven for thinking its ok for me, as I worked at a famous college for psychic science – The Arthur Findlay College.Doing so brought me into contact with many who invited me to work in other countries and venues. There is no doubt it helped, and the years of training and experience added an edge to my work and reputation. I worked hard, and the payback was good for my career.Yet, before I set foot in college, I was already overwhelmed with offers of work and a thriving home-based practise. The college reputation helped, but I had done a lot of the legwork to establish myself beforehand, and had I never worked at the college, my income and reputation would still be totally viable.I continue to receive requests for readings, mentorships, and guidance on a daily basis, and I am pleased to recommend folks I know who work well and can provide what is required.Looking back and moving forward, here are some main points that can help with building your work and credibility online and offline.&nbsp;<ul><li>Maintain an excellent website that is well maintained and search engine optimised. Include a nice bio that is honest and trustworthy.</li><li>Create a blog that provides useful information on a regular basis. Make a list of the items that would have helped you the most and write about them.</li><li>Post on social media regularly and share what makes you happy. Give it a personal touch</li><li>Make sure your posts and blogs provide value to your readers without pushing your services.</li><li>Build an email list and consider publishing a regular newsletter. Provide freebies. Use surveys and queries to your audience to learn about their needs and how you can address them.</li><li>Make LinkedIn and Pinterest as much of a priority as your regular social media. Their search engines are huge and add leverage to your SEO.</li><li>Create your brand's identity. Logos, slogans, etc. will help people recognise your work instantly.</li><li>Credibility. Make yourself an 'expert' on one aspect of your field. Investigate, write, film, and share in-depth knowledge.</li><li>Understand and assess your audience - are they all your social media buddies doing the same thing as you, or do you reach out to new people?</li><li>Create free resources on a regular basis, such as a YouTube channel and livestream events. Allow others to see what you can do for them.</li><li>Form a private group - a safe venue for community building.</li><li>Be open and honest about what you can and cannot give.</li><li>Be truthful, thankful, and humble. Avoid exaggeration, such as claiming to have worked at a prestigious venue when you were there as a student or visiting. The genuine workers of such establishments put in years of hard work, study, tough assessments, and sacrifice to earn that status.</li><li>Avoid condemning others; instead, concentrate on the quality you aim to provide.</li><li>Invest in your education. YouTube is completely free! Online courses are reasonably priced. Tell your audience what you're investing in so they know you're keeping up with the field.</li><li>Make good connections with people in the same field. Website links should be exchanged. If possible, share each other's posts, courses, and events with a good, encouraging comment.</li><li>Invest in your local community and online media, and advertise to reach new audiences. Libraries, supermarkets, local radio, and business listings are often reasonably priced.</li><li>Be you. No matter how successful someone is or how much you appreciate their style, your audience wants to respect you.</li></ul>These are some of many suggestions, but the most important ones are to cultivate presence, trust, credibility, value, authenticity, consistency, and to give more before receiving.When you get to where you need to be, remember where you came from and extend a hand of friendship and support to others who are just getting started.On Podcast <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://odio.ai/audio-article/837a938a05b5297f">HERE</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://developingspirit.com">HOME</a>
