Summer Is Almost Here!

Thursday, May 24th, 2007
 

The weather is very fickle, but summer is almost here. It was raining last week and it was
in the 40s just a few days ago. But it is warm today and according to the calendar summer will start in about a week.

What are your business plans for the summer? If you are thinking about creating an e-book, or if you have completed one and now need to edit it and create a finished copy, I recommend that you do it this summer.

September is the best time to launch a new product. This is because when people get back to business after spending the summer resting and going on vacations, they want to get things done in September. And to get things done they want to know how to do them, and this is where your e-book comes in.

Spend the summer creating your e-book and launch it in September for huge profits!

Discover how to create an e-book that will make you thousands of dollars during the upcoming How To Make Thousands Of Dollars With Your E-books Teleseminar Series. I will show you a step-by-step process to create an e-book and market it online to make money.

Building Buzz And Getting Your Name Out

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007
 

Do you have products that you want to sell online – a book, e-book, seminars? Or maybe you want to sell your services? To do this effectively you need to create buzz for what you have to offer. You need to get your name out there, you need to promote your expertise, so that your potential customers see that you are an expert at what you do.
Promoting expertise online is what I help my customers do.It is all about getting your name known and getting as many of your target customers as possible into your circle of influence.

Here are some of the steps that you can take to start generating buzz and promoting your expertise online:

Define your target market – who are the people you want to buy the book?

Create a free offering that you can give away to your target market. This can be a special report, audio recording, e-book, etc. You need to create an offering that your target market really wants – that way you will be able to use it to get more newsletter subscribers.

Start building your newsletter list – use the free offering as a gift for everyone who subscribes to your newsletter. Publish your newsletter on a regular basis to keep in touch with your subscribers and provide them with information about your book.

Use online marketing techniques – search engine optimization, article marketing, your own blog, etc – to get newsletter subscribers.

The more subscribers you have, the more people you can contact, the more people will be able to buy your book.

Create other products and programs. Having just a book is not enough. Create other products based on your expertise – e-books, audio recordings, classes, etc. Now you can use your newsletter list to sell your products.

As you can see, you should promote your expertise by building on the things you have done previously. You define your target market first, then you create a gift you can give away, then you use marketing techniques to get more newsletter subscribers, etc.

How To Use Your Blog To Get Coaching Clients

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007
 

Many coaches have asked me how to use a blog to promote their business and get clients. I have been blogging for a while and my blog has brought me a ton of traffic, newsletter subscribers and clients.

Here are my recommendations for you if you are just setting up your blog:

Set Up A Blog On Your Own Web Site – it will help you achieve better branding and more web site traffic. Use free blogging software available at WordPress.org

Blog Consistently. Many business owners get excited about blogging, post 3-6 times, and then promptly forget about the blog. I have seen many blogs that were started a year or two ago, have a grand total of five posts, and haven’t been updated since sometime last year.

Have A Special Offer On Your Blog. This will guide your blog visitors to become your newsletter subscribers.

Use Search Engine Optimization To Optimize Each Blog Post. The purpose of your blog is to get people who are in your target market to read your posts and enter your sphere of influence. Use your blog to get more search engine traffic.

Have Fun!

One of the lessons in my Complete Step By Step Online Marketing Course is a Blogging Lesson, and it discusses in detail how to use your blog to market your coaching business. You can get the Course at https://www.avocadoconsulting.com/rlinks/zcourse.

Getting Clients For A New Coaching Business

Saturday, May 5th, 2007
 

If you are a new coach who is just starting out, how can you get your business off the ground?
This is a question that I receive very frequently. I am an online business coach, and about 98% of my clients come to me through my online marketing efforts. They come to me through:

– My newsletter. I publish a very popular weekly online marketing newsletter.

– My articles. I have published many articles online, and they have been reprinted on hundreds of blogs and web sites. I receive many e-mails every week from people who found out about me through my articles.

– Search engines. My web site is optimized for search engines and I receive a lot of search engine traffic.

– Online networking. I have met many of my clients through my online networking efforts.
Since you are just starting out, here is what I recommend you do:

Define your target market. This step is extremely important – without defining your target market you will not be able to market your business effectively.

Create an effective web site that will attract your target market.

Start a newsletter and publish it on a regular basis.

Start using online marketing techniques, one by one, to bring in web site traffic and customers. You should use article marketing, search engine optimization, business blogging, online networking and other techniques.

In my Complete Step by Step Online Marketing Course I discuss, step-by-step, how to use different online marketing techniques to get more web site traffic and customers.

Local Versus Online Networking

Friday, April 27th, 2007
 

Many people I know like to do local networking. I like attending local networking meetings, but I don’t want to attend at inconvenient times, I don’t want to go to events when it’s snowing and sometimes I don’t have 2-4 hours to spend to drive to/from the event and
attend the actual event.

This is exactly why I am a big fa of online networking – with online networking you don’t have to commute, you can network on your own time and you can choose the types of
people you’d like to meet.

When you network online you should:

– Find groups frequented by your target market

– Post on a regular basis in these groups

– Post on subjects you are an expert at in order to promote your expertise and get others to get to know you

– Create partnerships with others serving the same target market

– Be consistent in everything you do

It is very important to network in the groups on a regular basis, so that others who participate in the groups get to know you. You want them to know who you and what you do, so that when they need products/services that you provide, they would know to come to you.

Want to know the step-by-step method to get more clients using online networking during my Make Thousands Of Dollars With Online Networking Teleseminar Series.

How To Make A Living As A Coach?

Thursday, April 26th, 2007
 

Do you want to make a living as a coach? How can you do that? I have had many of my clients ask this question.

Unfortunately, from what I have seen from my clients, they have gone through programs and learned how to be a coach, but no one taught them how to be an entrepreneur.

And this is why many coaches struggle – they are great at what they do, but they have no idea how to run a business, how to market and how to bring in clients.

I have seen exactly the same thing – I have a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree, and I have taken business classes at a business school. I have received a lot of useful knowledge and information that I use, BUT no one has taught me how to be an entrepreneur.

If you are serious about coaching and want to make a living as a coach, I recommend getting trained in running and marketing your business.

There are many different ways to do that – take business classes, work with a business coach, read marketing books, etc. I recommend having an extensive marketing plan and mapping out where your clients will be coming from before starting your coaching business.

Do You Work Too Much?

Thursday, April 26th, 2007
 

The weather is finally getting better! This weekend was nice and warm and I enjoyed the sunny weather outside. We walked around the lake, enjoyed the sun and the breeze coming from the water. On Monday I felt completely invigorated. It is very important to take time off and recharge your batteries.

Do you take time off from your business? Or do you feel guilty doing it and spend even your weekends working? Don’t do that. If you do not get enough rest, you will not be very productive.

Instead of spending all of your time working, create a smarter strategy for working fewer hours and still make enough money. My Complete Step By Step Information Products Guide teaches you how to create products and earn money
even when you are not working.

Article Marketing Or Web Site? What To Do First?

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007
 

Should you start a newsletter and article marketing before you launch your web site, or should you wait to start them until your web site is done?

I usually recommend to my clients to launch a web site first, then the newsletter and then start marketing by using article marketing, business blogging, search engine optimization and other techniques.

The reason I recommend this order is because you want your newsletter subscribers, article readers, blog readers, etc to visit your web site, learn about your products and services and buy them. People have to be able to check out information about your products and services without too much pressure, and this is what your web site will
do for them.

You may start the newsletter before the web site, but then you will not have a web site to send the potential buyers to.

And you should not use article marketing before having a web site. The main benefit of
using article marketing to promote your business is that your article resource box links back to your web site. If you do not have a web site, you will be missing on this huge benefit.

How To Pick A Newsletter Service

Monday, April 16th, 2007
 

If you need to pick a newsletter service to help you send out a newsletter, here is what I recommend.

Different services have different options, so decide which options you must haver in your newsletter host, and then review the hosts you are considering to see if they offer the options that you need.

Once you pick the newsletter host that you need the fun part starts. You will need to start marketing your newsletter to get as many as possible of your target customers to sign up. You need to have a good number of subscribers in order to make your email marketing to bring in results.

My 5 Steps To Growing Your List Audio Recording teaches you, step-by-step, how to build your e-mail list and make money with it online.
