Usually it goes like this: Service provider generates lead. --> Lead is very interested in service. --> Lead says, "Hey, I've got this (service/course/etc.) that's really cool. Maybe we could barter?" --> Service provider feels torn. They're kind of interested, but kind of not. --> Service provider agrees to barter -- but feels like they're getting the short end of the stick. In my opinion, if somebody isn't willing to pay money for your service, they probably don't want it badly enough. I would recommend taking only cash clients and stop bartering. I'm guessing the reason you're struggling is because you've got too many barter clients... and not enough clients who are actually paying you. Then again, that's just a guess. @Juri - Yep, he's the dude with the smiley mug in the top right corner of this page. :-) @Teresa – It’s my experience that bartering services is not a good idea in most cases. Usually it goes like this:

–> Lead is very interested in service.

–> Lead says, “Hey, I’ve got this (service/course/etc.) that’s really cool. Maybe we could barter?”

–> Service provider feels torn. They’re kind of interested, but kind of not.

–> Service provider agrees to barter — but feels like they’re getting the short end of the stick.

The trouble is, getting that healthy mix of paying and barter clients That is where my husband and I are struggling right now any thoughts?
