Lately I have been hearing from many people who are either life coaches already, or want to become life coaches. Many of them want to know what life coaching training programs they should attend, how they can take more life coaching classes and how they can learn more about life coaching.

What has always surprised me, though, is how few coaches ask me about life coach marketing training. After all, if you want to be successful as a life coach, you MUST learn how to market your business and get clients.

If you do not know how to market your business online and if you do not have a plan for marketing it, you will not be able to get clients for your life coaching business. Many courses will teach you about becoming a life coach, but they will not teach you how to get clients. And if you do not have clients you can’t coach and you can’t make money.

I have heard from many coaches who had to go back to working for someone else, because they could not get enough clients to support themselves by coaching. If you want to run a successful life coaching business, make sure that you seek out business and marketing training – it will help you learn how to get clients and it will help you become a successful business owner.

Many life coaches have asked me how to start a blog to promote their life coaching business online and get clients. Here is how:
– First, you will need a blog. I recommend using blogging software that is available at wordpress.org. The software is available at no charge and it is very easy to use and is very customizable.

– Once you have a blog, decide where in your life coaching marketing funnel it is going to fit. I recommend using your blog to attract search engine and other traffic and turn that traffic into newsletter subscribers. Make sure you know exactly where the blog fits into your marketing and what kind of results you are expecting from it.
If you don’t know why you are using a marketing technique and how you will benefit from using it, there is no reason to have it in your marketing plan.

– Once you know where the blog fits into your life coaching marketing funnel, decide on the topics you want to post on. Since you are blogging to attract your target market to your blog and to your business, the best topics will be those that are of interest to your target market.

Now go ahead and start blogging! Take a look at my Business Blogging Articles at https://www.avocadoconsulting.com/articles/ (scroll to Business Blogging) for more blogging tips for life coaches.

If you are a life coach, should you call yourself a life coach? Or should you find a different title for yourself?
I think you should call yourself what is comfortable for you AND what would get you the best response from potential clients.

I have worked with many life coaches, who became “Business Coaches”, “Relationship Coaches” or “Career Coaches” as they defined their niche and decided who they wanted to work with.

Another thing that we can try doing is talking about what we do in terms of clients’ benefits. When you outline what you do in terms of clients’ benefits, more of your potential clients will be interested in what you have to offer. You will get more clients as a result.

Instead of saying “I am a life coach” you can say “I help my clients find the job that they really want.”

Potential clients respond better when you describe what’s in it for them instead of just telling them that you are a life coach.

Do you want to start a membership web site for your business? I have been running my members-only online business coaching web site at MarketingSalad.com for a long time and here is what I recommend.
Before spending the time and other resources on creating a membership web site, I recommend doing something that you should do before introducing any new product or service.

You should evaluate the idea with your target market in mind and see if there is a demand for this product among your target market.

Here are some questions to help you evaluate your prospective membership web site further:

– Who is the target market for your membership web site?

– Can your reach enough people in your target market to promote the membership web site?

– What kind of benefits will you be offering to members?

– How many levels of membership are you going to have?

– What kind of content will you have?

– How will you be promoting your web site?

Once you answer these questions you will have a much more clear vision on what exactly you want to create and who you want to attract to your membership web site.

More about the Good Question Day offer:

After the success of last year’s Good Question Day Judy Barber is doing it again…
bigger and better than ever!

Last year on 10th October Good Question! – a book I and 27 others contributed to –
reached number 1 on Amazon’s Mind Body and Spirit charts! We were also able to share
over £450 in self-development gifts with hundreds of people who all bought on the day.

Well, it gets better and better because this year the Good Question Day gift giving
extravaganza is worth twice as much. Judy has got together with even more friends
to increase the overall gift fund from £450 to well over £1,000 in gifts, mostly on wealth
related topics and also on health, coaching and self improvement. These are audios,
ebooks, teleclasses and ecourses.

You can learn more about the book (which also has a new cover for 2007) and preview
all the gifts you’ll get (when you buy it) here…

What are leads? Leads are people who haven’t bought from you (yet), but are in your target market and have expressed some interest in what you do and what you have to offer.

With time, you can turn some of these leads into clients. One of the best marketing strategies for a service business owner is to get many leads daily and follow up with them in order to turn them into clients.

I have been generating leads for my business and helping my clients generate leads for their businesses for a long time. Here is a 3 point plan to help you get started with generating leads for your business:

– Define your target market. Who are the people that you want to bring to your web site and turn into leads?

– Create a compelling FREE product that you will give away to your leads in exchange for their e-mail address. The product can be an ebook, white paper, special report, audio, etc.

The medium of the product is not as important as the topic it’s on. The product’s topic should be very compelling, it should make your potential leads decide that they want the gift and give you their e-mail address in exchange for the gift.

– Now you can use a follow up process with your leads and turn them into actual clients.
