Coaching BlogSites, Websites, Blogs, Website Systems

A Blog is used to provide commentary or news on a particular subject. They could be the business founder's advice to customers as well as news. It could be some backpacker's journal across Asia. Many coaches use this to publish content quickly.
A Coaching Blog is great because:
  • You can let who you are come out sooner and faster, so that you can connect with prospects deeper and quicker.
  • Content can be dispersed faster to social networking, RSS readers, other websites that come to yours for content, and to those who subscribe to your blog.
  • You can easily publish content without needing a designer to create new pages.
  • Search engines will visit them more often and give them search engine kudos if they are update regularly.
A Website is traditionally used for very directly detailing what your business is about and has to offer. They are mostly done poorly. The better ones are easier to use, have great copy, and are used as part of a system for some intention.A Coaching Website is great because:
  • It can build your credibility
  • It provides prospects with various service offerings
A BlogSite is a combination of a website (traditional use) and a blog.A Coaching BlogSite is great because:
  • It harnesses the benefits of the two
  • It helps you and your prospect connect faster
A Website System is a combination of tools, website, blog, email list, auto-responders.A Coaching Website System is really great because:
  • It helps you reach out to potential clients
  • It gets prospects into your marketing systems for automatic wooing
  • It excites prospects about your offerings
I recommend creating a Coaching Website System.

Two Dead Simple Ways You Can Get Started With Internet Marketing and Start Making Money Online Today 

Making money on the internet via internet marketing has never been easier. Internet marketing has been around for some time, but it has only been over the last few years that so many different monetization methods have evolved. What this means is that there are now multiple ways to make money on the internet, beyond the most traditional and mainstream methods that existed only a few years ago. This translates into increased opportunity for anyone that wants to get involved in marketing online as they now have many more choices and avenues open to them, making it possible for you to branch out into different business models. The most popular internet marketing methods available today are affiliate marketing and email marketing. Both of these forms of monetization are excellent ways for anyone to get started with internet marketing.
Affiliate marketing is just one of several extremely popular methods used today to make money on the internet. This method of marketing is all about promoting other people's products and earning a commission for each sale. Obviously this concept isn't new, but with the advances in technology and tracking software on the internet it has made this a hot monetization method. There are several websites out there that are dedicated entirely to offering product owners a place to find affiliates who want to sell products. Starting out as an affiliate is probably one of the best ways for anyone to test the internet marketing waters because it allows you to find out what it is really like to make money online without having to outlay excessive amounts of money for advertising and product creation. I'd strongly recommend this for anyone who wants to test the waters before they jump in and setup their own website, product and advertising campaigns to sell their own product.

Email marketing is another extremely popular way to make money online. Email marketing is similar to direct marketing in that you email customers directly with an offer. This is possibly one of the most effective and profitable ways to build a long term business, as once you have compiled a list of customers who have proven to buy from you, there can be almost no end to how much money you can make by repeatedly emailing the list with new offers and products that they might be interested in. The downside is that email marketing takes a considerable amount of time. Time must be spent building the list, driving traffic to the list and then building a positive relationship with the list so that they trust in you and will buy from you.  Are you still having difficulty getting started making money online? Wouldn't it be great if you could get your hands on an in-depth and detailed step by step guide which explained everything from A to Z? Well, you can. I've been there and know what it feels like, so I went ahead and took the time to detail out what I did and how you can repeat the process and experience the same kind of success I've had. This will help anyone, regardless of how much or how little you know about the internet, get started and on the right path to creating a reliable source of income on the internet.

Niche Vs Target Market - An Extremely Important Distinction

A key to having success in an internet home based business opportunity is to stand out in a crowd - to differentiate yourself from all the other marketers out there who are promoting similar products. This differentiation is one of many benefits of focusing on a niche market.  Here are some of the benefits of selecting a niche market.
1. You can become an expert. It is easier to learn all aspects of this market.
2. You can more easily become familiar with the buying habits of the people in this market and how they can be reached.
3. You can determine the needs of your market and offer products that meet those needs.
4. When you have a good knowledge of the people in your market, you can communicate better with them - you can speak their language.
5. As an expert, you improve your income potential. This provides you with the opportunity to generate several streams of revenue.
Isn't a niche market the same as a target market?
No. A niche market is more narrowly defined.  Your target market consists of those people you can sell to. Your niche market consists of those people in your target market whose needs you specifically address.
For example, you may be marketing a garden tiller that is used to prepare the soil before planting a garden. Your target market, in this case, could be homeowners.  However, focusing your marketing on this market would be a waste of money. You must determine which piece of the homeowner market you need to target. You must consider, not just "who" you are marketing to, but "what" you are marketing.  Condominium owners are part of the homeowner market. But they would probably have no interest in owning a tiller. Single residence owners are a part of the homeowner market. But many of them own small lots and have no interest in a tiller.  Those having larger lots are a part of your target market, but many of them have no interest in gardening and certainly no interest in your tiller.

It's obvious that your niche market should consist of those who garden. However, even that market could be more narrowly defined. Gardening for many may be just a few potted plants or a small bed of plants next to their patio. They should not be included in your niche market.  So it's important that you give a lot of thought in defining your niche market.
Your niche market should consist of each of the following:
1. People who have the same specialized interests and needs.
2. They must have a strong desire for the products you offer.
3. You must be able to provide compelling reasons why the people in this group should buy from you.
4. You must be able to easily reach the people in this group.
5. It should be large enough so that it produces sufficient income.
6. On the other hand, it should be small enough so that there is limited competition.
Keep these 6 items in mind as you select your niche market. But where do you start?
My suggestion is to start by looking closely at yourself. What are your interests? What do you enjoy doing? What are you good at? Where have you had accomplishments in your life? What has been your background - a job, volunteer organizations, hobbies, etc.?  After you have identified some potential niche markets, the next step is to research the internet. Find out how many people are searching for what you have to offer. How much competition is there in your market?  Go to blogs, message boards, and forums related to your niche market to see what problems are not being solved or what questions are not being answered. Then focus your marketing campaign (including your blog or website) on providing educational information that solves these problems and answers these questions.  You will find that selecting the proper niche market is a key factor in achieving success in an internet home based business opportunity.  Are you frustrated with your lack of success in network marketing?

3 Secrets to Internet Marketing Success

Have you ever watched that show on the fox channel about the "masked magician" who reveals how all the magic tricks are done? He takes you behind the scenes and shows you step by step exactly how the illusion is done. I bet this guy has a price on his head for spilling the secrets of these successful magicians! I would imagine that this guy has major security following him around to protect him. I could also imagine that he constantly gets hate mail and threats from magicians who perform and sell these "magic tricks". Poor guy! He's just trying to make a living!  Luckily for me the secrets I will be revealing are not life threatening. Although these secrets are closely guarded by the most successful internet marketers. I will show exactly how to succeed in internet marketing. And no it is not some magic formula which you can use once and voila you're rich! No! It will take patients, dedication, and work. Yes I did say it, "work!" Success leaves clues. So if we look closely at these clues, we can take them and create the exact same results. I don't like to waste peoples time because I know how valuable it is to you. So lets get started!
Secret #1. Successful internet marketers leverage people. And no, I don't mean take advantage of them. What I am saying is they work with a team. They mastermind with other successful entrepreneurs. If you want to win a marathon you have to prepare, train, and have a great coach to encourage and help you. Successful people know that they are in this internet marketing game for the long haul. So they team up with great people who will provide encouragement, motivation, and know how's. One cannot win in life alone. You need people who have the same ambitions as you. If you want to achieve a certain goal, find people who have already achieved it. Then mimic them. Do what they do, eat what they eat, talk how they talk, think how they think and before you know it you will achieve the exact same results. So go out and leverage people.
Secret #2. Successful internet marketers leverage systems. If you want to be a body builder you know that you will need the proper nutrition, a proper training regime, and a great coach. That is an example of a system. Eat right, exercise daily, follow the instructions your trainer gives you. The same applies to internet marketing. You need to have systems. First you need content, capture pages, auto-responders, and training for new recruits if you're promoting MLM's. You also need the proper marketing strategies. Once all these systems are in place you can sit back and reap the fruits of your labor! So leverage systems.
Secret #3. Successful internet marketers leverage time and patients. They know that an average business doesn't turn a profit until a few years after it was started. It's not to say that it takes that long to see profits online, on the contrary, it is the fastest way to make money! However, they take this as a serious business, therefore they will work their systems and leverage people for however long they need to be leveraged for them to see the results they desire. They expect to win. They expect set backs and what an average person would consider failure. They are not here for the quick buck, they are in for the long run. For the huge profits.
So leverage people and their knowledge. Set your systems in place. And be patient. Let your name circulate on the web. Sooner or later your business will pick up momentum and will be unstoppable. Before you know it you will be at the top along side all the internet marketing legends! Until next time, happy marketing!!

The Art of Give Away Marketing

As a Lifestyle Marketing Success Coach, I'm frequently advising online marketers and brick and mortar entrepreneurs, alike, in ways to entice new customers into the sales funnel. Every successful marketer knows that a 'call to action' is only as good as the value perceived by the potential customer.
How to Spice Up an Irresistible Offer
In an internet-based marketing campaign, the effectiveness or your call-to-action is the difference between and lose sleep over split-testing different button colors and font types. Fortunately, one tried and true technique for increasing opt-in conversion rates is offering an enticing 'give-away' as a reward for the viewer's action. Oh...but what to give away...
Below are two easily adaptable techniques to bolster your offer's value and multiply your marketing conversion rates.
Survey and Consultation
For internet marketers, leveraging an online surveys as a pre-requisite to scheduling a brief, 1-on-1 consultation is a very effective offer. This works well if you have already developed an industry reputation, or can position yourself as an authority.  While the consultation is positioned as being all about the prospect, you receive value as well. In addition to building your all important mailing list, these sessions provide valuable market feedback in the form of the people who respond to your message and the questions they ask. A well structured survey identifies the respondent's 'pain points' and prepares you to speak with authority in addressing their problems.

Be prepared with answers to common questions and you'll be perceived as a knowledgeable leader. Take your list of questions from surveys and consultations and build it into your marketing. There is no faster way to position yourself as an authority than by offering answers to common problems.  IMPORTANT: Do Not pitch your product or opportunity during this initial session. You are laying the foundation for a long-term relationship, not closing a quick sale. The practice of "giving" first, before asking anyone to open their wallet is a key technique in Web 2.0 (social media) campaigns.  There are many online, survey services available. SurveyMonkey, for example, is easy to use and offers a free level of service with ample functionality.
The Special Report
Another effective marketing 'give-away' is anything which you can refer to as a "special report." Original content is great, but new marketers will be relieved to learn that you don't have to write it yourself. If you've found something online that helped or motivated you, it will do the same for others. You do, however, have to give credit to the original source, so choose wisely.   Here's one example. Have you ever read "The Coffee House Letter" (http://bit.ly/CoffHouse)? It has made its rounds on the internet, but is often referenced as the standard in 'long copy' market positioning.  The formula used in the coffee house letter is simple:
  1. Identify a problem
  2. Expose the reader's pain
  3. Present a solution.
This 'long sales copy' style achieves multiple goals:
  • Grabs the reader's attention
  • Tells a story
  • Eliminates objection through supporting content
  • Weeds out tire-kickers (due to its length)
  • Pre-qualifies the lead
  • Presents a strong call to action
Pages based upon a 'Coffee House-esque' format can be used as landing page or a special report give-away. The "special report" offer will attract browsers, then your business consultation positions you as the leader whom they are seeking, and the resulting relationship converts browsers into loyal buyers.

A Footballer's Way to Become an Internet Marketing Superstar
It's no secret that experts consider Christiano Ronaldo to be the best footballer on the planet. It's also no secret that Christiano did not become a mega superstar over night. Ronaldo began his career as a youth player in a small Madeira team and he had an early youngster move to Sporting Clube de Portugal. As a winger in Sporting, he was spotted by Manchester United manager sir Alex Ferguson who signed him for £12.24 million in 2003
Although in 2004 Ronaldo won the FA Cup, his first Man Utd club honor, he failed. That season Manchester neither won the Premier League nor qualified for UEFA Final 16 in the EUFA Champions League.  It was a disaster. Being a fan of Man Utd since the age of 9, partially, I blame Ronaldo's horrible performance that season.  I distinctly remember Man Utd's 6th and final game in the UEFA group stage against S.L. Benfica when Manchester drew and for the first time in 36 years failed to qualify for Europe's best 16.  Christiano's horrible performance that season reminds me of similar experiences we undergo as internet marketers.
I am a big fan of failure. I see failure as necessary experiences we must undergo in order to grow and learn new, important and profitable lessons. Often, we learn our most important life lessons only after or during our most horrid failures.

Man Utd's failure to qualify for Europe's final 16 was Ronaldo's wake up call to action. I believe that Ronaldo understood that he became too high minded too early in his career.  Next season unveiled a different Christiano. Ronaldo matured into a different kind of footballer. During the summer break he worked hard and it showed early in the season.  In 2005 Red Devils claimed the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. Ronaldo was to blame and nobody could deny that. Since 2005 Ronaldo worked and developed to become what he is today-a $132 million dollar player.

If you've experienced hard failures during your internet marketing career, be sure that you're on the right path.
Failure is life trying to tell you that you're doing something wrong. It's trying to redirect you in the direction of success. If When you fail, don't be sad or angry, simply analyze what you've done, try to figure out what's wrong and fix it.  If more work is needed-do it. If re-design is needed-do it. If admitting that you were wrong and changing course is needed-do it. Do whatever it takes! That's how the footballers do it and you should too!   Get more inspiration and guidance on how to become an internet marketing superstart over at Internet Marketing Tips For Online Success
