Free Kindle book on getting your Kindle book to best seller

Hello Fellow Coaches,

Our own Bart Baggett has recently published a new ebook on Amazon Kindle, and until midnight tonight (June 20) it's free!

Bart has worked really hard to put out the information on how to become the expert in your niche and how to become a bestseller on Amazon.

The Kindle publishing platform has been a gift to readers everywhere, and both a gift and conundrum to authors trying to get their work out.

There are some nuances that if you are new to publishing to Kindle, and you miss them, can mean the difference between seeing your book go to #1 in your category and languishing in the basement of obscurity.

He breaks down the plan step by step, and provides screenshots to illustrate his point. He even includes the exact emails that he sent out to accomplish this task.

If you are a non fiction author, you need to read this book to see how to make your book stand out from the crowd.

By having your own book, that is a best seller in your category, you can cement your place as an expert in your chosen niche. This can be the difference between having clients come to you and having to struggle to get your message out.

But, wait.... there's more!

Bart is also having a contest with the launch of this ebook. You can win a free Kindle Fire! At the end of the free promotion, he will have a drawing for the winner of a brand new Kindle Fire. Don't wait- go now and enter the contest. 

This contest will not be extended. You can get Bart's new Kindle book and also get a chance to win a Kindle Fire.

Your friend in building your coaching practice,

Are they even opening your emails?

Hello fellow coaches,

Sometimes the gates of coaching heaven open up and drop wonderful free coaching resources for me to share with you. Today is one of those days.

Email marketing, or even sending individual emails is a vital part of any successful coaching practice. But just as important as sending the emails is making sure the recipients are opening them.

Most autoresponders have a built in tracking tool that lets you see who opens your email broadcasts. But, your individual emails typically do not have this feature.

The nice people at HubSpot have changed that. Their newest service Get Signals provides your own email whether it's Gmail, Yahoo, or any other email service to track the open rates on individual emails. They even have a free option for one single email address with up to 200 notifications per month. They also provide an unlimited version for only $10 a month.

Click here to check it out

This can be a game changer for your coaching practice. No more wondering if your emails are read or not. You can actually see who is opening them, and either resend to the non-openers, or take them off your prospect list completely. This will take the guess work out of who is a hot prospect and who is a "tire kicker" that only wants to waste your time.

Take the time to look it over and see if it can be of help to building the successful coaching practice that you want and deserve.

Are you getting paid what you are worth?

Hello fellow coaches,

One of the most common questions that I encounter is "How can I get paid what I'm worth for my coaching?" This question, or one very similar is asked on an almost daily basis.

It is a tragedy that the average median income of a coach is $20,000 USD. This is below the poverty level in the United States. Most coaches are struggling just to pay the bills, and have no money left over to really live.

Yet, at the same time, there are some coaches in the life coaching industry that consistently make 6 and 7 figures each year.

Why is there such a disparity in income?

The answer to this question would take up an entire book. There are many facets to the answer to this simple question. But, one of the leading reasons why coaches don't make more money is that they have their own issues with money. Issues that deal with feeling deserving to make more money, or not being able to conquer their own issues with money.

This Saturday, March 29,2014, my friend John Assaraf is having a replay of his Brainathon webinar. In this webinar, you will learn what is sabotaging you from making more money and how to overcome these mental blocks, and earn the money you truly deserve.

This is an excellent free coaching resource for you to take advantage of. That's right, John is doing the replay and you can attend and learn from the best for free.

I attended this webinar last year and the information blew my mind! John interviews the top experts in Neuro sciences and gives practical steps on how to make the changes that will shatter the glass ceiling that has been holding you back financially.

I first found out about John Assaraf in 2009. I bought some of his books, and even went through one of his courses. The results were astounding. I managed to double the size of my business in 4 months! I was working less and earning more, and life as they say is good.

Since then, John has made steady progress in his study of how the mind affects the success of each individual. He started Praxis Now, which is the latest blend of brain science for maximum success in life.

Click here to reserve your spot 

Please sign up now to reserve your spot. There will be many that want to listen to this webinar. In November over 25,000 signed up to listen to this treasure trove of information. Based on the content I saw, and the feedback I received from my own clients that attended, I can say this is the one must see webinar for this year.

But, you may be thinking, what is different about this webinar? What can I learn?

One of the nuggets of truth I learned was:

You see, your brain is split into two parts: Your rational logical mind and your implicit emotional brain... and the emotional brain is the larger and far more powerful of the two!

If your emotional desires, beliefs and values don't align with your rational mind's goals ... the two parts of your mind will constantly be fighting each other and undermining your ability to succeed at anything, especially your goals to support you and your family.

If you're struggling to break through to the next level of success ... the #1 thing to do is get your logical and emotional minds working in a state of neural coherence... or harmony.

John interviews 5 of the top neuro scientists in the field and will reveal the information you need to break your current income level and start living the life you desire.

Take the time this Saturday to learn the steps that will launch your success for your coaching business.

A new way of writing your to do list

Hello fellow coaches,

It looks like 6 more weeks of winter thanks to the groundhog. We will see. Sometimes when writing you about free coaching resources and tools, I come across a very interesting idea that is not even set up to become an evergreen business.

What I mean by this is, most free coaching tools and resources are meant to be a sales funnel builder that lets you get some free things and then if you like it, you buy more. I have come to expect this over the years. And, I will be the first to say that there is nothing wrong with the free items upfront to build a good relationship with someone that finds your website. But what I will share with you today is a free resource that has no backend "upsell" or free trial subscription. It is simply an idea that can be used to make your time more productive.

For many years now, I have gone from a "things to do" list and a journal, and swapped back and forth. As of this writing, I am using a daily gratitude journal, goal list for this year (broken down by months), a Sunday list (weekly to do list), a daily to do list, and a journal. Five different lists and journals that I refer to daily.

It is difficult to keep up with sometimes. Our lives keep getting busier, and it seems that time is moving faster. Is there a way to integrate these lists all together? Or, at least combine a few for simplicity sake?

Ryder Carroll, of New York City, has developed the Bullet Journal. It's his version of a to do list in a simple monthly and daily breakdown. He has refined this system over the last few years, and he is still improving it. What's even better, he created a website that shows how to use the bullet journal with videos, and it's absolutely free. He doesn't even sell journals! He recommends a few, but you have to go to the site of the manufacturer to find places to buy. It's incredible that someone takes this much care to create a system, and then share it with the world for free.

You can find this site here: http://www.bulletjournal.com/. Again, there is nothing to sign up for. No give me your contact info to see my free stuff. Just his idea with corresponding information to support it.

I have started implementing this in my daily to do lists and my Sunday list. I prefer to keep my gratitude journal and my other journals separate from this system. My lists are about productivity and my journals are about what I am experiencing. However, it is good to have a bullet journal to refer back to when journaling about a past event.

Give it a try and see if it helps you become more productive, or better yet, helps your clients.

Wishing you More Clients, More Money, and More Life!

Free Webinar on Building Your Practice Through Blogging

Hello Fellow Coaches,

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.

On this brand new live training, you will learn:

***How to steal Oprah's model for your blog and have "the experts" write traffic pulling, blockbuster content for you. 
***Why there's only 5 Ways to Make REAL Money with Blogs and which you should use
***How to Setup an Online Blog Funnel That Pulls In Leads and Sales While You Sleep
***Why all Top Marketers use blogs to make 6-Figures and why they don't tell you about it
***How to get Instant Traffic without SEO from the "Low Hanging Fruit Method"

Also, we are going to step-by-step reverse engineer the 6-figure online marketing funnel of a TOP Internet Marketer/Blogger.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you are crazy to miss this!
You will literally walk away with a formula you can implement right away to start building your list and making money from simple blogs.

Do you have a website? Here's how you can

Hello fellow coaches,


It's been a while since we have posted. We have not forgetten you. We have been working on a huge coaching project that we will release in 2014. The time taken to work on this project has taken me away temporarily from Free Coaching Resources.

That said, in the here and now.... Do you have a website for your coaching business? We have written in several past blogs about the importance of having your own website. You wouldn't start a business without a phone, or marketing materials, so why do so many coaches not have their own website?

The answer we get so many times is that it is just too confusing. We have taken that part out of the equation and want to tell you about 4 Kindle books that you can get for free, right now.

Even if you are a total beginner, you can create a website. Yes, even a Wordpress website.

The first book I want to tell you about is by Steve Scott. I own several of Steve Scott's ebooks on Kindle, and I can tell you that his information is great. He covers the necessary things that need to be done. "How to Start a Successful Blog in 1 Hour" is an excellent resource for you arsenal. You can literally read this book and follow the steps and have a Wordpress site up and running and start blogging.

Click here for this free Kindle ebook
















Another great Kindle ebook for starting your Wordpress website is "How to Create a Wordpress Website" by Brian Patrick. He also includes access to over 40 Wordpress video tutorials. If you like a more visual method of learning, this book can really help you to overcome your barriers to starting your own Wordpress website.

Click here for Brian's Kindle ebook















If you are looking for a more compreensive starter guide to Wordpress, Lisa Thompson's "Wordpress Tutorial Guide" might be more for you. She talks about more than just installing a Wordpress site. She also talks of Plugins, Widgets, Themes, and even CSS. Even if you have never heard of these things, they are explained in this work.

Click here for this tutorial Kindle ebook














If you are a little more advanced in the journey, I have found a free coaching resource that is an excellent tutorial guide. JavaScript and HTML5 by Kyle Simpson can help you to either develop a more advanced website, or help you if you are choosing a website designer. This book is written a little more implicitly than the previous books I have mentioned, but if you are wanting to expand your horizons in designing a website, it can be very helpful.

Click here for this advanced Kindle ebook
















There are other books on designing a Wordpress website, and some of these books may resonate well with some readers, others may want something different. Remember, we have more than 1 ice cream flavor for a reason. Everybody likes different things. Check these works out and see if any click with you.

Also, you do not have to own a Kindle to read these. You can download a free Kindle app to read Kindle books on a PC, Mac, or tablet. There are even free apps to read Kindle books on some smart phones. If you are reading this blog, I am sure you can find a Kindle app to read Kindle books.

If you have not already signed up for over $1700 in free coaching tools and resources, you can do so by filling out the form at the top left of this blog. Or, you can go directly to www.100coachingtips.com and sign up there. These resources are there to help you build a successful and thriving coaching practice.

Free Webinar: Start Your Own Coaching Website

Greetings Fellow Coaches,

At Free Coaching Resources we strive to bring to your attention the latest and best free coaching tools & resources.

We are having a live webinar for our members and readers on September 26 at 6pm PDT (California time).

We surveyed the audience of our last webinar and realized that many coaches do not have their own website. There are many reasons that were given to us as to why.

Reasons such as:

* It's too confusing

* It's too expensive

* I cannot write code

* I have no idea where to start

* Every guru is telling me something different

* I don't have hundreds of hours to learn this stuff

I know first hand that it can be somewhat confusing to start your own coaching website. Many have sat through other calls and been told by the guru that they have to buy the guru's package to build their own website.

I have also heard several gurus say, "You don't have to have your own website." But, you know what? Every one of those gurus has their own website. In today's market, you need to have your own website, and it's not as confusing or overwhelming as you might think.

This webinar will be different, in that, if you watch the webinar, and take notes, you will have the basic knowledge to start your own website. That's right, I will pull back the curtain and show you the tricks of the trade that I either learned the hard way, or paid money to learn. After this webinar, there will not be any reason that you cannot have your own website.

In this webinar you will learn:

* Where to buy your domain names

* How many domain names do you actually need

* What is a good hosting company?

* What is Wordpress, and how do you use it

* Which template is best

* How much will this actually cost to do

* How can my website be found by the search engines

* Free webdesign tools on the internet that everyone can use

* Do you need a shopping cart service

* Where can you find a free shopping cart service

* What you actually need to start

If you have been hesitant about starting your own coaching website, watch this webinar. I will explain from start to finish how to create your own website. I will have actual screenshots that will show you how easy it is, and I will even tell you what prices are fair to pay to get a website up and running.

And best of all, one lucky person on this webinar will win a free Coaching Website Makeover. What if you don't have your own website yet? I will give you the basic format that you can use to build your own coaching website.

I will also answer any questions you may have about starting your own website. The time is now to take control of your coaching practice and put it on the map. And the time has never been better for you to do so.

You can access this live webinar at: http://instantteleseminar.com/?eventID=46238691

The PDF for this event will be available the day of the webinar. You will be able to access the PDF download here.

We hope to see you on the webinar.

Also, if you have not received your free coaching resources from our website www.100coachingtips.com, you can get them now by filling out the optin form at the top left of this blog. Over $1700 in free coaching tools & resources that you can use to begin transforming your coaching practice.

Free Kindle E-book: Magic of Impromptu Speaking

Hello fellow coaches,

Welcome back to Free Coaching Resources. It was a wild time during and after the live webinar we did last week. I am finally getting back to whatever normal is. If you missed our live webinar, the replay is still up, but the special offer has expired.

Today's free resource comes to us by way of Amazon Kindle, and is a very valuable resource for coaches to have. Impromptu speaking is a priceless tool to build your coaching practice. Maybe when you decided to become a life coach, you did not think that public speaking would be a necessary skill set. But, it is the most valuable "secret weapon" to building a thriving coaching practice.



Kindle author Andrii Sedniev covers the basics plus the finer points of impromptu speaking in his book "Magic of Impromptu Speaking: Create a Speech That Will Be Remembered for Years in Under 30 Seconds." 

Click here for this amazing ebook

What if you are asked to fill in for a late or no show speaker at an event? Would you be prepared? This is the opportunity of a lifetime if you can give an impromptu speech that is convincing to the audience. Or, it can be a career buster, if you blow the opportunity.

Andrii's book can help you master the art of impromptu speaking. Whether it is a small group or a conference speech, being able to handle a task like this will separate you from the coaches who cannot.

If you are in Toastmasters, you are probably familiar with Table Topics. Table Topics is a short impromptu speaking exercise that Toastmasters practice to be able to answer questions off the cuff, without preparations.

But, unlike Table Topics, Andrii's book goes many steps further to explain how to incorporate valuable tips into your impromptu speaking. He covers many different situations and how to handle them. He also gives practice exercises to make sure you are comfortable with doing it.

Although I've been a member of Toastmasters for 3 years now, I did learn several new things about impromptu speaking in this book.

Don't wait too long to get this free Kindle ebook. It is on a temporary free basis, meaning that in a few days it will go back to regular price.

Labor Day Weekend is almost upon us here in the US. Please have a safe and happy holiday weekend.

As always, we wish you More Clients, More Money, and More Life!

Respectfully yours,

Steve Davis

Free e-book: Pinterest- Fun & Profit

Hello fellow coaches,

Sometimes the very thing I'm looking for falls into my lap, and even better, I can share it in this blog. That's what happened with today's Free Coaching Resource. I had put learning Pinterest on my to do list some time ago, but it was moved to the back burner. I had read one book on it, but it was entirely from a user perspective and not a business one. My teenage daughters use Pinterest, but purely from the standpoint of posting and sharing funny pictures. I was beginning to think that Pinterest is only for people to share recipes, pictures, and funny stories. There's nothing wrong with that, but if that were the case, I'd have no desire to join Pinterest.

Today on Book Gorilla, Lambert Klein's book "Pinterest For Beginners: Fun & Profit" was on the free Kindle book list. This is an excellent resource for learning Pinterest, and also finding out if it can benefit your coaching practice. I was surprised by some of the stats in this book:

• 68.2% of Pinterest users are women (some sources say 87%)
• 97% of Facebook fans of Pinterest are women
• 28.1% of users on Pinterest have an annual household income of over $100,000 USD
• 50% of Pinterest users have children

Now this is beginning to look appealing to me. Perhaps even another potential lead source. As I continued reading, there were even more interesting statistics, by way of age demographics:

• ages 12-17         4.1%
• ages 18-24        17.3%
• ages 25-34        27.4%
• ages 35-44        22.1%
• ages 45-54        17.9%

Now the demographics are coming into sharper focus. This is definitely a viable social media network. But, how do you tap it? Fortunately, the author has an entire chapter of Marketing on Pinterest. Also, he does not sugar coat the statistics. Even though this is an incredibly qualified potential lead source, you cannot just go out like a spammer and see any lasting results.

According to Lambert, you have to recommend and suggest. That is even more effective if it is being done from a 3rd person party. Spammers will not do any good in the Pinterest universe. So, I had to ditch the idea of just running out and promoting every product and affiliate product I coud think of. Drats, spoiled again. Lol.

The most effective way to use Pinterest from a business standpoint is to utilize it to drive traffic to your blog. Other ways are: non-profits, freelancers, and authors promoting books. This narrows it down somewhat, but I think it still could be a benefit to life coaches.

The author even gives links to learn the more advanced Pinterest strategies.

Let me know if you are currently using Pinterest, and what kind of results you are getting. I have seen some coaches on Pinterest, both business coaches and life coaches.

It's been a while since I have posted on Free Coaching Resources. We had to upgrade some IT procedures on our website as well as our blog. But, we are back now and have an excellent tool to help even the most basic beginners do screen shots and screen videos.

The people at Tech Smith (http://www.techsmith.com/) have several tools that can be used to capture, record, and even edit screen shots and videos. Their program Jing, however, is one that I really enjoy using. Jing has a free option that you can use without having to upgrade. There is an upgraded paid version, which if you are doing longer videos, is very useful as well.

Jing has been around for a while, but sometimes the best coaching resources are the ones we rediscover. It has a myriad of uses, each of which are outstanding in their own right.

If you wish do do a short video explaining a step in software, it is entirely possible to do so with Jing. The free version allows you 2 minutes of video time where you can also add your own audio, explaining any instructions needed. When you are done recording, your video is stored on Screen Cast with a download video which can be forwarded so others can view your video. The free version also has a cap on the MB allowed on the storage, but as far as free coaching resources go, I feel this is a must have for the beginner to the intermediate user.

Their program is very user friendly, with helpful tutorial videos that are concise and accurate.

They have separate versions for PC and Mac, so this is a universal product.

Recently, I found it very helpful when we were having a few IT issues. I was able to do short videos of what a program was doing and send it with my support ticket. This saves the headache of having to type out everything that you are experiencing, and perhaps having a miscommunication with support staff.

If you work with people who may not be as technologically advanced as you, or in my case, people who are far more technologically advanced, this is a blood pressure saving resource. Lol, just kidding, but some of my programmers and support staff get frustrated with my lack of programming expertise. This handy tool saves tempers on both sides of the issue.

Try Jing out and let me know what you think of it. This will definitely be used with my clients as we increase our catalog of products on our own website.

Also, we have a webinar coming up on August 22 at 6pm PDT. This will be a live interactive webinar with a Q&A session at the end.

3 Free Kindle Books on Publishing Your Ebook

I hope everyone has had a great weekend. In the coaching industry today, whether you are a life coach, business coach, relationship coach, or anything in between, there is a great push to get you to write and publish your book. This weekend alone I had 14 emails from different thought leaders with book writing and publishing programs and products. There is so much information to sort through. Which program is the best? Or, which would work best for you?

I have found an excellent free coaching resource, or should I say, 3 free coaching resources. Mark Coker of Smashwords has 3 free Kindle ebooks on how to write, format, and publish your ebook. Each of these free ebooks takes on a different subject in writing your own ebook. If you have never heard of Mark Coker, you probably had heard of Smashwords. Smashwords is a platform for indie book writers and publishers to market their books. I could do an entire post on Smashwords by itself, but it seems more appropriate to also tell you about the ebooks, so you get an idea of how to optimize your Smashwords experience. You can check out Smashwords at: www.smashwords.com 

The first thing you need to do is format your ebook. Mark has shown exactly how to do this in his ebook "Smashwords Style Guide - How to Format Your Ebook." Mark covers the various points on editing and formating your ebook before sending it to be published. There are tips in here that I have not heard of and I have paid for workshops that teach this subject.

The author has a book on how to market your ebook for free. Smashwords is an excellent way to market your ebook if you have no marketing budget. He goes over tips on using social media, blog postings, and other various means to get the word out there about your ebook. He also provides a strategy to get this done.

2 Free Kindle books that are great for new coaches

Today's free coaching resource is a 2 for 1 special. These are free Kindle ebooks that can help you build your coaching practice. They cover two very important topics to building a coaching practice: blogging and writing Kindle ebooks.

Both of these books are quick reads. They get right to the point and skip the unnecessary fluff. Whether you are new to this, or you've been around for a while, there is plenty of good information in both of these books that can put you ahead of the competition.

The first is a book on blogging by Steve Scott. "How to Start a Successful Blog in One Hour" is a roadmap to getting your blog out there and getting traffic. The author explains where to start and how to set up a blog that gets noticed by the search engines, and gets you readers and subscribers.

I like how the author gets right to the point, and covers all of the valuable tips that separate successful blogs from everyone else's. This is some of the same information that I find myself having to cover with new coaching clients that do not have a blog yet. I will definitely be recommending this ebook to all of my clients and prospective clients.

 

 

The next free coaching resource of the day is a Kindle ebook by Anbu Rayappan. His book "Non-Fiction Writing Machine: How to Write a Book in 5 1/2 Days in 3 Simple Steps" is an excellent foundation to use when writing your first book.  If you have never tried writing a book, this can be a blueprint to build an empire of your life's work in a digital book form. When writing Kindle ebooks, you do not have to get publisher approval, worry about creative control, fret over deadlines, and the multitude of problems that occur when using a publishing service. With the Kindle platform, you write the material, upload it to Kindle, and it is listed and live for your prospects. Just like that, no middle men, no unnecessary fees, and best of all, you keep entire control of your body of work.

The author provides his information in a simple "paint by the numbers" if you will. Steps like choosing the right topic, how to structure a non-fiction book, the writing process, and a helpful checklist to make sure you don't leave anything out. The author shows a realistic plan to write your book of 10,000 words (only 40 pages) in 5 days, but only 2 hours a day of writing.

 

How many books could you write in a month, if you went by this plan? Don't have any published works yet? This can be a game changer for you and your coaching practice.

 

Also, remember that the Kindle reader is free for any electronic device. Simply go to www.kindle.amazon.com and set up a free Kindle account and you can start downloading Kindle ebooks, even if you do not own an actual Kindle device.

 

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
