At Free Coaching Resources, we are committed to bringing you the latest and best coaching tools and resources that are free. A brand new year has started. You can make this, 2014, your break out year.
One of the things my clients ask me is, "How do I get new prospects when there thousands of coaches already out there?" Or, "What can I do to stand out?" And, "Should I have a blog?"
This is almost always followed up with, "Well, I tried blogging once , and it didn't work." Can you see the problem with that last statement?
As with anything you do in business, and I said business, because your coaching practice is your business, you must have a plan, or a system. And, just like any plan or system, you have trial and error along the way. You have to see what works, and stick with what works. It's not a set it and forget it, but it is a set it and adjust it as needed.
Despite all of the hoopla about blogging, it is the best way to get the low hanging fruit. It is a way to get prospects organically (meaning you are not paying for the traffic.) If you are just starting out, or maybe in a cash slump and need a jump start, blogging may be the one thing that gets you back on track.
Once you are established, it is one of the best ways to keep your presence out there. Whether you are blogging once a week, daily, or anywhere in between, blogging is one tool that you want in your client prospecting toolbox.
But, you may ask, "Why didn't blogging work for me?" There are several reasons for this, but the most common reason I find is this:
The #1 reason people start a blog is that some "expert" said they needed one.
So they...
1. Pick a topic
2. Start a blog
3. Expect traffic to show up
When this doesn't work, coaches quit blogging in frustration. They either go on to the next "silver bullet" or "bright shiny object" to try to generate cash to justify their existence as a coach.
Let me stop for just a minute here, and say: blogging is not the only thing you will need to create and maintain a successful coaching practice. But, it is one of the things you will have to have in your tool box.
If you have a blog, it will be the one thing people will probably look at before making a decision about going any further in investigating whether or not they want to hire you for coaching. And, remember, they are not hiring a coach, they are buying a solution to their problems.
There is a company out there that specializes in teaching business owners ( remember what I said above coaches) about blogging. Learn to Blog breaks the steps down in bite sized pieces so you are not overwhelmed with insignificant details.
Better yet, they are offering a free webinar on "6 Figure Blog Secrets" It is tomorrow, and that's short notice, but this is definitely worth your time to attend.
