Get more traffic to your coaching website

I could take an old saying and revise it: You can never be too rich, or have too much website traffic.
Corny, but true. We can all use more traffic to our sites. And, if you are like me you are deluged by people wanting to sell you their latest "traffic getting" secret weapon. And, if you are also like me, you have spent more money than you can remember on those products and have little or nothing to show for it.

If you have tried to find just some basic information on increasing website traffic, you may be confused by the plethora of results. So many different techniques to implement. It's like getting a part time job just to get people to your site.

Let me say at the front, there is no way to drive thousands to your site daily when you have been averaging 5 visitors a day. The only exception to this is if Oprah mentions your website on one of her shows. By the way, Oprah, I'm waiting......

There are ways to implement certain things that will get you more traffic. It builds steadily and progressively. This is a process that works over time, not an explosive overnight growth.

My friend, Sarah Santacroce, at www.simplicityadmins.com has developed a simple and practical way to get more traffic. 21 Ways to Get More Traffic is a guide that will work for anyone, not just coaches, to get more website traffic.

Interview with James Malinchak

For today's free coaching resource we go back through our archives to James Malinchak. If you are not familiar with James Malinchak, he is the founder of Big Money Speaker Bootcamp, and past star of ABC's Secret Millionaire.

It's no secret that the best tool for your coaching practice to get more clients is through public speaking. You have the opportunity to present your services to a room full of people, and with the right components, you can have a new stream of prospects.

Bart has attended the Big Money Speaker Bootcamp 4 times now. Each time it is packed with cutting edge information that will help you transform your coaching practice. He basically gives you an entire weekend of information that can put you at the top of your niche.

This interview takes place in November of 2012. James covers several points that are relevant to coaches.
Such as:

• Why you have to increase your price and one sure-fire way to change your mindset about  money.

• How high end coaching programs serve both you and your clients.
• How to break free from the hours for dollars fee structure.

• Why you must start speaking in any one of the 3 forms of speaking (James tells you all three and 2 of them you do NOT have to leave your home town)

You will also hear a special offer from James to our listeners. At this time, there is not a bootcamp scheduled. But when it comes back around, we will inform our readers, so they can utilize the special price.

Is your coaching niche profitable?

For today's update at Free Coaching Resources, I went back and read some of the emails you have sent me. One of the most frequently asked questions is: Why is it so hard to get paying clients?

I know for a fact some of you are working hard and doing a truckload of free sessions, only to hear at the end of each free session "no thanks." What happened? What went wrong? Maybe nothing.

There are several important foundational steps to having a successful coaching practice. One of the pivotal ones is having a profitable niche. You can have the first page of Google and 100,000 social media followers, but if your niche is not a profitable one, it won't matter. We have all heard it said,"Do what you love and the money will follow." But at the same time, you need to determine if what you love is a profitable niche.

We are at a crossroads in our lifetimes. Because of the subprime collapse of 2007, and subsequent stock market crash, as well as all of the other financial disasters that have beset our world, people are more results oriented than ever. There is very little impulse buying compared to 2006. People today want to know what they are getting and what it is going to cost.

Gone are the days of buying something and not caring whether it works out or not. People who are buying coaching programs and coaching services are doing so to solve a problem in their life.

Think of it like this, if you woke up this morning with a headache, you want something to make the headache go away. Aspirin or any other headache remedy, whatever works, is fine with you. Do you care where the manufacturer of the headache remedy is located? Where their employees went to school? Of course not! Neither do the people needing the solutions you can provide care about your specifics. Your prospect has woke up with a "headache" and they want it to go away. If they can find you, and can find your "solution" without having to wade through pages of irrevelent info, you will have a client.

Couple this "headache" metaphor with the typical consciousness in our world around that "money is tight" and you have a market where people are looking to make their "headaches" go away, fast and with results that justify the expense.

This is where your niche selection is so important. You must be able to get in front of the right people in your niche and cut through the "fluff" to help them.

My friend, Carey Peters at Holistic MBA, has created a free niche starter kit. It is designed to help you determine if your niche is profitable, and also how to "narrow your niche." If you are having difficulty getting paying clients, give this free coaching resource a try.
