How Well Does Your Financial Advisor Perform?

How would one even know? Most financial advisors don’t give you a report card at the end of the year, talking about the ways they helped you beat — or, gasp, underperform — the market.

With Rainbook — a no-cost platform — you can have crystal clear x-ray vision into how well your advisor is performing across a host of critical metrics:

  • Fees — how much are they charging you on a relative basis (including those fund fees)?

  • Performance — how are you doing relative to benchmarks? 

Critical questions impacting the long term health of your portfolio, Rainbook delivers you the answers.

If your Advisor Score isn’t up to par, Rainbook can pair you with a new vetted advisor to ensure your financial health is in good hands.

With a $600 startup budget I would focus primarily on marketing and promotion. EVERY business needs to get their ideal customers aware of them and that’s why marketing is my favorite industry in business. You can implement effective strategies to attract clients and grow your business or help other businesses grow by becoming an affiliate marketer for them. Here's how you can allocate your budget:

  1. Professional Branding: Invest in creating a professional brand identity, including a logo, business cards, and branded stationary. You can hire a freelance graphic designer on platforms like Fiverr or Upwork to create these assets for you. Allocate around $100-$200 for branding materials.

  2. Website Development: Build a professional website to showcase your services, portfolio, and client testimonials. You can use website builders like Wix or WordPress with affordable hosting plans. Allocate around $100-$200 for website development and hosting.

  3. Social Media Advertising: Allocate a portion of your budget for social media advertising to reach potential clients on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn. Set up targeted ad campaigns to promote your services to your ideal clients. Allocate around $100-$200 for social media advertising.

  4. Networking Events and Conferences: Attend industry-specific networking events, conferences, and workshops to connect with potential clients and collaborators. Invest in event tickets, travel expenses, and promotional materials like business cards or flyers. Allocate around $50-$100 for networking events.

  5. Email Marketing: Invest in an email marketing platform like Mailchimp or Constant Contact to build an email list and send newsletters or promotional emails to potential clients. Allocate around $50-$100 for email marketing software.

  6. Content Marketing: Create valuable content like blog posts, case studies, or tutorials related to your freelance niche to attract potential clients through search engines and social media. Invest in content creation tools or hire freelance writers to help you produce high-quality content. Allocate around $50-$100 for content marketing.

  7. Print Advertising: Consider investing in print advertising opportunities in local newspapers, magazines, or industry publications to reach potential clients in your area. Allocate around $50-$100 for print advertising.

  8. Professional Photography: Invest in professional photography services to create high-quality images for your website, social media profiles, and marketing materials. Professional photos can help you make a positive impression on potential clients and showcase your professionalism. Allocate around $50-$100 for professional photography.

  9. Google Ads: Consider allocating a portion of your budget for Google Ads to increase your visibility in search engine results and attract potential clients actively searching for freelance services in your niche. Allocate around $50-$100 for Google Ads.

  10. Track and Analyze Results: As you implement your marketing and promotion strategies, track and analyze the results to determine which tactics are most effective in attracting clients and generating income. Use this data to optimize your marketing efforts and allocate your budget more efficiently in the future.

By investing strategically in marketing and promotion activities, you can attract clients and grow your freelance business effectively with a $600 startup budget. Experiment with different tactics, measure your results, and refine your approach over time to achieve sustainable growth and success.
