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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Also, don't forget to download your free coaching resources from our site: www.100coachingtips.com. You can sign up at the site, or use the optin form at the top left of this blog.

Free tool that lets you do screen shots and screen videos

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.

Click here to download the free version of Jing

















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.

If you have not downloaded the free coaching resources, look at the top left of your screen and fill out the form. You will be guided to where the download page is. Or, you can also get them at www.100coachingtips.com  We have over $1700 in free coaching tools and resources available for download.

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.

If you wish to contact me, please do so at steve@100coachingtips.com  I'm always happy to hear from you.

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

Stop Fighting Your Weight: 10 Things You Wish You Knew

Today's free coaching resource is about weight loss. The dreaded subject. No matter what your current status is, everyone has a strong opinion about this. I had been debating for some time now about doing a blog on weight issues. Frankly, because I, myself am trying to lose weight. But, I feel it is of utmost importance in the USA and for that matter, everywhere.

In coaching, there are 3 large categories that cover most of the coaching business. They are: 1. How to make more money 2. Weight loss and 3. Finding your soulmate (relationships). They also fall into that order in the money people spend to help them with those issues.

As far as consumer money spent, weight loss actually edges the money subject to number 2. People, whether they are hiring coaches or not, are always spending money on weight loss products. Whether it is diet books, supplements, and fitness videos. Add in the gym memberships, and you can see why weight loss ranks so high in the amount of money people spend.

I won't go into the other 2 subjects today, because weight loss is significant enough to warrant its own post. But, I dare say, if you are a life coach, your niche and coaching practice falls into one of the 3 subjects.

I am a big believer in mindset retraining and reconditioning. Whether it is business or personal matters, your mindset determines the likelihood of your success. I have found over the last 4 years, that when my mindset is right about a matter I am dealing with, 90% of the battle is won. Weight loss is no exception. If your mindset is right, you can accomplish so much more in the areas you desire to change.

I found a free Kindle ebook on this subject this morning. "how to...Stop Fighting Your Weight: 10 Things You Wish You Knew" by Daniel Speraw is an excellent free coaching resource that every life coach should have.

Click here for this free Kindle ebook
















I started reading some of this book this morning and I have to say, it is sound in its philosophy. This is not a lose 30 pounds overnight plan. Or, a fad diet, that guarantees unbelievable results. This ebook goes into the mindset issues around weight loss, and may give you a different perspective on it. The author gives several methods to apply to your current mindset. Again, this is not a "radical cure" or a "miracle drug." It is several principles designed to help you change your mindset about weight loss.

I have been on the same hamster wheel that so many people are on. Lose some weight, and then gain it back with some extra. However, I have spent the time to change my mindset about my own weight and how to lose the unwanted weight I have carried around for over 20 years now. I had come to these conclusions through personal study, and lifestyle changes. I have seen results in my own journey.

I have not seen anything really new or ground breaking in this book, but it would have really helped when I was trying to figure these things out on my own. I encourage all of our readers, if you have issues about your weight, get the book and read through it. It will help get you on the right road to seeing the results you desire.

Also, seeing as this is the day after July 4, when so many of us find it hard to stick to our diets, I feel that its a fitting time to broach the subject. Let me know what you think after you read this book. My coaching specialty is not weight loss, but I do enjoy discussing all subjects with fellow coaches.

I hope everyone enjoyed a safe and happy 4th of July. My thoughts and prayers to those injured in the unfortunate accident in California. It is a shame when accidents like that happen. Hopefully, the appropriate steps can be taken to prevent occurences like that in the future.

Also, for my new readers, we have over $1700 in free coaching resources available for you to download at www.100coachingtips.com . Sign up and you can start downloading these valuable tools to restructure your coaching practice.

And, don't forget, we are running a special sale on our Gold Download Package. This is 26 interviews with some of the best coaches in the business today. Along with pdf transcriptions, and interview notes. This sale ends soon, so don't let it pass you by. Go to http://100coachingtips.com/special-july-4th-sale/ and take advantage of this one of a kind offer.

The Largest Collection of Free Coaching Resources in 1 Place

One of the biggest reasons I hear for coaches not getting enough clients, or even any clients at all, is always the same: "I can't afford it." Let me implore you right now, coaches, strike those words from your vocabulary. I'm not saying go into debt, but I am saying you need to shift your mindset.

During our Season 1 interviews, Melanie Benson Strick talks about this. I like what she said, "Stop saying I can't afford it, and start saying I'm going to find a way to make it happen." I think this was probably one of the most powerful statements made during the entire series of 26 interviews. This is mindset shifting at its best. And, I totally agree with Melanie, find a way to make it happen.



We are beginning the second half of 2013 today. Let's make sure our mindsets are geared up to find a way to make it happen. In fact, we are going to help you make it happen. I have been ending each of my posts urging you to go to www.100coachingtips.com and sign up and download the free coaching tools. Some of you have, but many of you haven't. Maybe some of you already have, or you downloaded them before this blog was created. But, some of you I know, are not downloading them for reasons that you justify through not wanting to accept help. I don't quite understand this. I would have loved it if someone came to me when I was first starting out and offered free coaching tools.

The tools we are offering are a diverse blend of coaching resources that can transform your coaching business from an expensive hobby to a thriving business that gets you the lifestyle you deserve.

Several of our speakers from Season 1 were kind enough to supply coaching resources that will help you get unstuck and moving forward again.

We have:

An audio from Chris Widener "The Best Test"

Audios and pdf handout from Bart Baggett "The 3 Keys to Life Transformation & Manifestation"

A pdf from Rhonda Hess "The 5 Secrets to a Highly Profitable Coaching Niche"

An audio and pdf from Michelle Schubnel "7 Group Coaching Models"

A 6 audio CD program from Eric Lofholm "The Art of Time Management"

A pdf workbook from Carey Peters "Niche Starter Kit"

An audio from Pat Mussieux "7 Steps to Growing Your Own Business"

A pdf copy of Sam Carpenter's book "Work the System"

Once you have these tools and start using them, is there any reason why you cannot grow your coaching business exponentially? Even better, we will soon be adding to these free coaching resources.

If your coaching practice is not where you want it, go to www.100coachingtips.com and sign up in the optin form and you will have access to the coaching tools and resources listed above. As an added bonus, you will also get our free report "Top 3 Mistakes Struggling Coaches Are Making Everyday Which Stalls Their Career & Sends Hot Prospects Running Away"
Also, we will have a huge announcement this week that will go out to everyone on our list. You will want to hear this announcement.

If you have any questions or comments, contact me at info@100coachingtips.com

We have a short week in the US due to the July 4th holiday. Special thanks to our troops.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Respectfully yours,

Need more coaching clients? Free video

While finding free coaching resources for our blog readers, I try to find relevant tools and resources that can help new coaches build their coaching practices. I also try to provide a variety of free coaching tools and resources, so it will help a broader base of coaches. Will every resource I list help every single life coach? No, but every resource I list can help some life coaches, and even other coaches and entrepreneurs. I also read the comments, and look for problems coaches are having, and try to find free coaching resources that will help them.

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is, 'How do I find new clients?" There is no one size fits all answer for this question. However, there are a set of answers that will work for most new coaches. There are several variables in finding new clients. The good news is, once you know the set of answers or fundamental truths, you can begin enrolling new clients.

I know most life coaches I speak with do not really know much about marketing, online or physical. When you were in the process of becoming a life coach, you probably thought that once you received your certification, people would come find you. Unfortunately, this is not how it works in the real world.

Another problem new coaches have is converting a qualified prospect into a paying client. Many new coaches start talking to prospects and have no idea how to enroll them.  They fumble through a free session, and end up losing the prospect. Their conversation usually ends with, "Well, give me a call if you ever need a coach." The truth is, this prospect will never call you back.

My friend, Carey Peters, at Holistic MBA, with her business partner Stacey Morgenstern, have created a free 4 video series that can specifically help coaches get more paying clients. This is an excellent video series that you should listen to several times to get all of the valuable content out of these videos. I have watched them and they are top quality. These are not 5 minute quick videos, but in depth videos with explanations and some role play to show you how to convert prospects into
clients.

Click here to access the free videos 

If Carey Peters sounds familiar to you, I posted an earlier blog about her niche starter kit. If you have not downloaded it, please do. It is a very good pdf explaining on how to determine the viability of your niche.

If you are a new coach and struggling to find clients, don't feel alone. Also, don't feel like it's your fault that you cannot find paying clients. I talk with so many coaches who feel that their dream of being a coach is nothing but an expensive hobby, but it doesn't have to be that way. Just by learning what is in these videos and taking action on that information, can transform your coaching practice into a thriving business. I know you have valuable information that can be used to help someone. With these videos, you can find that someone and coach them to their desired results.

Please let me know what you think of these videos. I value your feedback.

Paul Berry wants to reinvent website design

Today's free coaching resource is a bit of a surprise. Before reading an article earlier today, I had never heard of Rebel Mouse. It was created by Paul Berry. Paul created The Huffington Post in 2007, from scratch. He built one of the most dynamic websites in history.

Now he has revolutionized websites for everyone. Now you can create a website without any prior website building experience, and it will pull your social media posts in and post them on your site. Its purpose is to help create a visual presence on the web with social media. How does this differ from FlipBoard and other similiar sites? Mainly, it is editorial control. You can move items around on your page, and change or delete items as well.

Rebel Mouse can also be embedded into other sites such as Wordpress, Blogger, Tumblr, and Weebly. If you would like to see an example of a Rebel Mouse site, check out http://paulcarr.com/.
This is just one example of how a Rebel Mouse site can be designed.

It seems that this may be a sign of coming websites in the next wave of websites with continually updated fresh content. He has struck such a chord in the internet sphere that Yahoo and Mashable are testing his service. I looked at some of his clients and the first one that popped out at me was Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Being a free coaching resource, it has to meet certain criteria. Namely, it has to have at least one feature that is free. Rebel Mouse does have a beginner package that is totally free. You can upgrade if you want more premium features.

I am going to be checking out some of the Rebel Mouse features myself, and see if it will enhance the overall experience of our 100 Coaching Tips site. I am going to keep our basic site premise, though. I don't know exactly how it will work. I would suggest taking a look at his site and see if this is something that would interest you. I am not saying change your websites to complete Rebel Mouse. I can see this working for some of my coaching clients who have trouble trying to build a WordPress site. Remember, there is more than one flavor of ice cream for a reason. We all like different things.

Again, check this out, see what you think, and let me know. Either here in the comments section, or email me at: info@100coachingtips.com.

For my new readers out there, please claim your free coaching gifts from us. They are valued at over $1700. Go to www.100coachingtips.com, sign up and you can start downloading. No waiting period, no strings attached.

The most simple social media tool I have found

Today's free coaching resource is one I'm sure you have all heard of, but either do not use it, or quit using it. Hoot Suite is one of the most effective ways to get you blog posts, articles, and offers out on social media without having to actually go to each social media page or group and enter them by hand.

I discovered in the early days that if you try to make your social media networks aware of your new content by visiting each one individually, it takes significant time. I used to post to Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, and my 50 Linkedin groups individually. This took about an hour and a half, if everything went smoothly. I tried HootSuite, and I was hooked! I can post to over 100 social media profiles in mere minutes. (All of these profiles are mine, or I'm a group member of them. You cannot post to someone's social media profile without their permission.) Currently I post to 108 total profiles and it takes about 3 minutes. I even schedule these posts in advance, if I see I will be away for a few days.


Most coaches I have spoken with try the free version of Hoot Suite, which allows 4 social media profiles. They try it for a while, but for some reason fail to continue. I will state this again to new coaches: If you are a new coach, without a large network, you will get significant traffic from social media, if done right.


I discovered that Hoot Suite also has a Pro plan, or a paid plan. This costs me $9.97 a month to be able to send unlimited social media broadcasts to my profiles. If you are in Linkedin groups, you can have your Hoot Suite posts appear in the group activity. (With group permission, of course.) Also, you can post to your Facebook profile and your Facebook fanpage. And, Twitter becomes a breeze with Hoot Suite.
                                                        
Hoot Suite also has built in analytics report builders. If you have Google analytics, you can permit Hoot Suite to perform reports at your specified schedule. If you have ever seen an ow.ly link, this is Hoot Suite analytics. It can tell you where you traffic source came from and if it is a unique visit. Most new visitors come to this blog from Linkedin discussions that I submit through Hoot Suite.

Best of all, Hoot Suite is offering a 30 day free trial of their Pro plan. Try it and if you don't like it, you can stay with a free account with no strings attached. Not to sound too "pitchy" here, but WAIT THERE'S MORE..., sorry Lol. I've always wanted to do that. After my 30 day free trial, I was so impressed, I signed up for the Pro plan, and have used it ever since. You can also post to Youtube, Reddit, Stumbleupon, and many more networks, at no additional cost in the Pro plan.

Simply click on one of the HootSuite graphics and get started with your free trial today.

Free SEO Toolbox

Today's free coaching resource is buffet of all you can use SEO tools. SEO and content creation and content repurposing is a critically important factor in getting you website discovered and keeping it at the top of search engine rankings. But, more content may not be better. If, you content is not original, or at least 70% original, you might get penalized by search engines.

Being penalized by search engines bad, but not neccessarily the death knell of your site. The worst case scenario is the search engines will block your site from being listed due to duplicate content, or plagiarized content.

In the days before Google Penguin and Panda, if you needed content, you went to a competitor's site and swiped content, 100%. Many people didn't change it, not even a word. Today, that will get you blocked by every search engine there is. I strongly urge you not to copy anyone's content.

The advent of Penguin and Panda not only prevents you from swiping someone's content, but will also ding you if you are posting duplicate content as well. Duplicate content is when you re-use a page or blog with no changes, while citing the work as 100% original. If you do this too many times, you can ruin your name with search engines.

All of this said, I do recommend re-purposing your content. How is this done? You take the article or blog post that you have just written, and re-write it using different wording, but it still has the same overall theme. This can be burdensome to say the least, if you are doing this with no help. It reminds me of school, when we used to do "research" papers by re-writing what the Encyclopedia Britannica said. I'm not saying I did it. It's just what I heard.....Um,yeah

But, there is good news out there. I have found a free seo tool website that allows you to use their seo tools not only free, but 100% no strings attached. No signing in, no registering, and no agreements. This is not a free trial, then an ongoing monthly expense. This is one of the best tools for seo beginners I have found yet.

www.smallseotools.com









This is so much more than just an article checker or rewriter. It lets you check Google page rank, check backlinks, and do reverse IP checking just to name a few features. Personally, I have purchased programs that did not do this much. It also has an article rewriter that is one of the easiest to use that I have ever seen. And it has a web "pingler." This is their own term for a pinger. A pinger or pingler lets you notify search engines when you have a new web page or blog posted.
 Otherwise, you have to wait for them to get to you.

They also have a backlink creator. Let me issue a word of caution here. Be very careful letting someone else generate backlinks for you. Too many backlinks at a time sets off alarms at search engines, letting them know it is fake. Also, never buy backlinks. This is prohibited by search engines, and is a sure way to get your website knocked off the search engines for good.

I do recommend you check out www.smallseotools.com . It is a great resource on the web. If you are just starting out, this can be a game changer for your coaching business.

Also, if you want to contact me: info@100coachingips.com. I am always happy to hear from you, and answer any questions. I also appreciate your kind comments.

7 Days to a Successful Blog

Whether we like it or not, blogging is a must if you are going to build a community of prospects for your coaching practice. Maybe you are just starting out. Maybe you are a seasoned veteran. But, whatever you would categorize yourself as, blogging is as much of a successful web presence as your website. Maybe even more, depending on who you ask.

Maybe you didn't realize the importance of blogging when you decided to become a life coach. Maybe, when getting your training and becoming a life coach, blogging was never mentioned or taught to you. But, whatever reason, there is no excuse for not blogging. I'm not speaking of the blogging so many do, that talks about what they had for breakfast, or who broke up with whom. I'm talking about delivering high quality content to your tribe or community through your blog.

There are so many ways to start blogging. And, there are many more people out there who want to tell you how to blog. The possibilities are practically endless. But, we all must start somewhere. So where do you start?

For today's free coaching resource, I have found a free 7 day video bootcamp that will show you how to be a successful blogger. This free video series will show you what options there are, and how to get started.



I have viewed the videos and they are full of useful information to help you get a step ahead of the competition. Click here to sign up for the free 7 day video bootcamp. Doon't let the word bootcamp scare you off. These videos are concise and to the point. They show you what you need to know without the senseless drivel or self aggrandizement that is common today.

Please take some time to check this out. I think everyone can learn something from these videos.

Also, the weekend is almost over. Where does the time go? Take some time to enjoy life, whether spending it with friends and family, or resting and recharging for the upcoming week.

If you would like to contact me: info@100coachingtips.com

And to our new readers, which we get quite a few each day, please go to www.100coachingtips.com and sign up, and you can download $1700 worth of free coaching tools.

We here at 100 Coaching Tips wish all of you: More Clients, More Money, and More Life!

Free graphic creator and photo editor

Do you know how to create graphics? This is something that has always confused me. My oldest child can whip out graphics faster than I can describe them. What is the secret? One time..., and I say one time was all it took, I tried GiMP. I believe GiMP is now called GNU. Please be patient if I mispelled either if those. It was the most confusing program I had ever tried. I could not get anything to work right.

Well, after some research, I found it hiding in plain view. Pic Monkey is a free site that allows you to edit photos and create graphics. It allows you to do many different things without signing in or buying anything.

If you need to create a new header or web graphic, Pic Monkey has the capability to create simple web graphics. You can resize, change colors, and add text. It's really simple too. I can create and design headers in less than 20 minutes. This beats hiring a graphic designer and waiting for hours or days to get the project back. And then, discovering that it needs more work, or is not what you are looking for.

I'm sure there are other sites out there, and even software available. But if you are like me, you don't have the time to learn an entire new program. I prefer Pic Monkey over Microsoft Photo Editor. As far as ease of use and a graphic that meets my approval, Pic Monkey is the way to go.

www.picmonkey.com  is where you can find this gem of a site.

Here are some tutorial videos that explain how it works:

There are many more YouTube videos that show how to use Pic Monkey. I selected 2 that had narration and were easy to follow.

If you are a first time reader here, let me say welcome. Feel free to go back through the archives and see the other free resource blog posts.

Also, if you have not already done so, please go to www.100coachingtips.com and download over $1700 in coaching tools absolutely free.

Your Money is in Your List

We've all heard it said before. And, it is true. The way for coaches to make money or more money is by having a large and responsive list. But, how do we get the list? Where do I find the resources to build that list? Should I buy my list? There are as many list building resources as there are internet users it seems.

If you are like me, you have struggled to build your list. Did you do a live event, and no one showed up? Are the responses to your email offers anemic? And that's putting it nicely. Hey, we've all been there.

I have recently found a free list building event. Unfortunately, I did not find it before it began, but that's ok. The List-A-Palooza 90 day challenge is only in week 3. That leaves 9 more weeks of exciting interviews, great ideas to help build your list, and power hours, where you web presence is made known to the community.

The List-A-Palooza event is founded by PJ Van Hulle. She is one of the best kept secrets in the coaching industry today. She has built her own email list from scratch, after events beyond her control caused her to lose her first business. PJ got right back to work and found the techniques to build an effective list quickly and easily.

 

 

Click here to join the List-A-Palooza for free

The interviews are live each week, and free by the way. If you can't make the interview, you can purchase the entire event's recordings for only $27. That's right $27! I realize I promote free coaching resources, but in case, like me, you missed the start, you can glean all the information for a miniscule fee. This figures out to less than $1.04 per interview. And you can download these interviews, so they're yours forever.

Also, PJ has a separate free report called "How to Jump Start Your Email List." This report is excellent if you are just starting out, or struggling to build your list.

 

Click here for PJ's Free Report

 

 

 

Remember, the most important resource for you to build your coaching empire is your list. Build it, nurture it, and provide service to it. And, PJ has done all of the research for you. She knows what works and what doesn't. Don't waste years of your life on methods that don't work.
