Default Dating Coach or Internet Guru?

Dear Friends

I'm Ramon Thomas from Johannesburg ,South Africa. I grew up in a small town and now have been living in the big city for 10 years now. My background is in IT and in 2004 I became self-employed. I moved into sales and marketing of research reports that focus on IT and business. In between I've created websites for clients and assisted them with online marketing.

Recently I've also moved into public speaking on the topic of cellphones, chat rooms and IM. There is a particular software, MXit, which is having a huge impact on South Africans. I'm also launching some Blogging training seminars next week.

Anyway I'm trying to give you a short introduction and ask a question. A few years ago I had a bad break-up and since then immersed myself in self-help books on dating and relationships. I've since been fortunate to gain some publicity as a dating expert and dating coach. And I have coached some men and one female client.

So I'm in this weird place where I've built up 10 years of experience in IT industry and is also recognised as a expert on online trends and online behaviour. On the other hand I've personally more motivation and interest in being a dating coach. Unlike most dating gurus I do not have my own ebook just yet. So that is something I'll need to make time for. And once I have that I'll have more credibility with seminars and public talks.

How would you suggest I go about moving from this Internet expert to a bona fide Dating Coach like Will Smith in the movie Hitch?

Sincerely
Ramon
