Internet Marketing For Coaches Tips and ideas on marketing your coaching business better online! |
Many coaches, consultants and other service business owners spend a lot of time and effort on writing their articles. They create a nice introduction, include interesting content, and tie everything in the article together with a great conclusion. Once they have created the content, they think that their great article is done and start submitting it to article directories…
Back when I just started teaching, I realized that different students learned differently. Some came to every lecture and wrote down every word said by the teacher and used their notes to study later.
Others never took any notes — instead they just listened intently in class. Yet others never bothered showing up at the lectures and read the textbooks instead. Some articles I have read recently report that now students rely on audio/video recordings of the lectures…
I have been getting many e-mails from readers lately, asking me how to create and teach profitable teleseminars. The Teleseminars Tutorial shows you the step-by-step process for creating profitable telseminars, but here are three points that should help you create an effective (and very profitable!) teleseminars:
– Find a topic your target market is interested in
– Create an interesting, effective teleclass around this topic
– Promote the teleclass so that you can get participants for it!
My clients have the most trouble with #3, so here is how to promote your teleclass to get more participants:
– Publish a newsletter for your target market and announce your teleclass to them.
– Announce your teleclass on your web site.
– Announce your teleclass to the groups, where your target market participates.
– Use article marketing, search engine optimization and other online marketing techniques to get more newsletter subscribers. Once you have more subscribers, you will have more people to promote your teleclasses to.

If you have been reading newspapers, watching television or reading online news sites, you have probably seen articles noting that the US economy is not doing as well as before. Consumers are not spending as much money as before, and they are buying less. This means that many business owners are not able to generate the same level of revenues…

One of the recommendations that I make to my clients who want to increase their business revenues is to raise their prices. When you raise your prices, you will increase your revenues without doing any extra work — you do not have to take on more clients, you do not have to spend more time doing work and you do not need to increase your sales.
As you can see, raising your rates is one of the best ways to increase your business revenues. As your experience increases and your expertise grows, your help and advice becomes more and more valuable to your clients. The more value you provide, the better you should be compensated for it. The only way you can be better compensated for what you offer is by asking for higher rates for your services, products and live events…
In the past two years I have had many business owners asking me how to get more web site traffic. Many of them thought that if they just add more stuff to the web site, such as a blog, they will get more traffic.
However, many times they neglect to make their web site ready for marketing. If you do not make sure that your web site is ready to accept the web site traffic you are going to send to it, you are not going to get results.
Marketing a web site that is not ready is like sending customers to a store without cash registers and without a simple way to buy. People may come to check out the store, but they will not buy.
Unfinished does not mean that your web site design is not finished. You may have a web site that has been beautifully designed by a talented designer. However, if your web site does not have the marketing elements that will turn your web site visitors into customers, it will remain just that – a beautiful store where no one buys.
If you want to get customers from your web site, it should be effective – it should explain to your visitors the benefits of what you are offering, it should help them decide to buy from you.
Your web site should be user-friendly – it should be easy to explore everything on your web site, your web site visitors should be able to easily travel from page to page, etc.
You should also optimize your web site for search engines – use good, descriptive tags for search engines and add good, useful content that search engines can index.

I am sure you have heard many times from many different sources that having a large e-mail list is going to help you increase your revenues and be more successful. What I haven’t seen discussed nearly enough, though, is the process for going from having a large list to actually getting more one-on-one clients and selling more products.
Having a large list is great, but you need to be able to get what you actually need from your list: one-on-one clients and product sales. There is absolutely no point to have a list of 10,000 subscribers if you do not know how to turn them into customers…
Many professionals I know have found a new approach to solving an old problem that their target market experiencing. Once they turn this approach into a program or book or a class, the question becomes how to sell this brand new approach to their potential customers.
Do you market and sell it by concentrating on the approach? Or do you do something else?
I recommend that instead of focusing on the new approach, you should focus on what your customers get when they learn and apply this new approach.
Always remember that your customers want to know what’s in it for them, what the value is of what they will receive and what the benefits are going to be. They are much less interested in a brand new revolutionary approach; they are much more interested in the results they will receive get when they use it.
My recommendation to you is to market using benefits, and explain about the new approach and how it works after you have explained the benefits.
This is how I teach my clients to create winning sales letters – first you explain the benefits of whatever you are selling. Only after you explained the benefts you should explain what you are offering (new approach, e-book, seminar, etc). Benefits always come first.

Are you a coach, consultant, virtual assistant of any other service professional? Chances are, services that you offer come with a high price tag, and it is hard to convince someone who just
met you or came to your web site to buy those services.
If a service you are offering is expensive, it is not an impulsive purchase for your clients. When you are selling your services you need to convince potential clients that they really need what you have to offer. The best way to do that is by building a relationship with them.
People buy from people they know, like and trust. You will have more opportunities to convert potential clients into actual clients the more potential clients you have who know, like and trust you…
Many service business owners go through the goal setting exercise every year only to see themselves not reach any of their goals by the year-end. At some point they give up and decide not to set goals any longer.
Not setting goals is a mistake, because all of the successful business owners I know actually set goals. The secret to using your goals to make your business more successful is setting realistic goals, checking in with your goals on a regular basis and working hard to achieve them.
Here is a plan to help you set goals that actually help your business and will help you achieve your goals:
