Setting up a business that requires you to be young and fit enough to operate and excel, but really also requires some serious investment and business experience can be a challenge. Dancing for profit is always going to be difficult.

Fear not – you should start slowly with a minimum risk to your finances. Here is our suggestion for you:

  • Decide what kind of dancing you wish to offer and ensure that there is a demand for this within your neighbourhood. For example hip hop or salsa is not going to be too popular within a retirement area.
  • Offer your services as a trainer offering this dancing in a fitness studio, local club or sports club. This will give you some source of income and some exposure to your market.
  • Hire a suitable room or studio for a period of a month and then advertise a special dancing course for this period. Make it something catchy like “Salsa for the Nervous”, “Hip Hop for the Happy” – what ever your dancing area is. Dancing for stay at home mums or weight loss seekers is always popular.
  • Contact all of your friends, people you have danced with in the past (don’t do it during your dancing classes you are giving above), your hairdresser, doctor, mailman etc and tell them about it.
  • Get some flyers made up announcing these classes – make it a very catchy name and a great price. Emphasise that you can only take so many!
  • Distribute the flyers all around your area – ask to leave them at the colleges, doctors, restaurants, clubs, hairdressers etc – anywhere you think that your potential clients will be!
  • Tell the local radio and newspapers about this great new idea you are starting.
  • Review the classes with your customers and ask them what else they would like to learn.
  • Make sure you get payment at the start of the class.
  • Test this out with several different types of classes.

  • As you become more experienced and knowledgeable about what people want – your empire will expand and you can hire the room for longer and more often. Your success will tell you when you can move onto your own studio.
  • Lastly enjoy yourself dancing to dollar!

    Home Builders and Remodelers - How to Stop Losing Business to Lower-Priced Competition

    Now and again I'll get into a conversation about 'educating the client', especially when a contractor talks about losing jobs to competition that's 'undercutting' them. One such conversation happened last week when a builder mentioned constantly losing jobs to, shall we say, less than reputable competition. Typically in this situation I'll talk about educating the prospect, to which the response is usually, "I don't have time to teach the prospect everything I know." (This is usually closely followed by, "Plus, I already educate my prospects.")

    Marketing for the Notary Public - How to Get Work Outside the Loan Industry

    I am a mobile notary. I meet many interesting people and drive through one of the most beautiful areas in the US. After working in law offices for over 20 years, I love working out of my home and car. I travel to people's homes, workplaces, and medical facilities. It is fascinating to see the different ways people live, work, and get care. I have been welcomed into mansions and campers. I have walked through ankle-deep carpet in high-rise offices. I have stood on muddy ground and sworn in construction workers who were perched high above me on roof trusses. I've applied my seal to documents while aboard rocking sailboats.
