I'm sure you've thought to yourself that it would be so much easier to get results if you just had someone there to teach you each step of the way, but paying for internet marketing coaches is something that sometimes puts people off…Someone who fits your style. If you're a creative person that don't like deadlines you may not be comfortable with a technology coach that is so results oriented that you're pushed to the point of being stressed. I know The Creative Entrepreneur can dream on for weeks, therefore they need structure and deadlines. However, I also know that pushing them to hit a particular date, as I do for my other clients, is not helpful for them. Your coach should be able to adjust to your style.Some of the things that you will want to look for in a coach is a standard of professionalism. You will also want to make sure that you interview the person so that you can build a level of trust in the person. Then you will also want to consider checking on their references in order to make a good decision when picking a coach.When I started out, I had no idea how to create a website, setup an auto responder, write a blog, get traffic, write sales copy, do "SEO", create marketing pieces… actually, I could fill an entire blog post with a list of things I DID'T KNOW, but that would be almost as boring as the story I'm about to tell you (don't worry, it has a point).Likeability. Likeability is part of building trust and credibility, but it's so important that it has its own spot on the list! When you're talking with this potential coach, do you feel that you can make an emotional connection with this person? After all, you will most likely be spending several weeks sharing details of your business, your dreams, and your goals. Tim Sanders writes in his book The Likeability Factor, that the four components of likeability are friendliness, realness, empathy, and relevance. How does this person rate with you on those four components? Take advantage of the free or low-cost investable opportunities to get a feel for how likeable the coach is personally and professionally.Write a book - Writing a book is one of the biggest advantages you can have over your competition. I've been to countless networking events, met marketing coach and consultants all over the world, and still find that I'm usually the only one in the room with a book. So I know firsthand that anyone in the room with a book has a distinct advantage over the rest of the people in their industry.Marketing on the internet without an online marketing coach is like sitting in a classroom without a teacher. Tell me, if an exam is drawn, would you pass? Even if you succeeded, it wouldn't be an easy one unless you are a genius. You see, the internet is a place where your success is based on using workable marketing methods. How do you know those methods and their usage if you are not shown by somebody who has used them? Luckily for me, when I started my online marketing home based business I was taken through all details of my business by a coach. Guess what, I'll not be selfish, what she (coach) showed me I'll show you.Flexibility. You're in control of how you would like to use your coach. Do you want assistance with short-term or long-term goals? Perhaps you need help in both areas. Whatever it is, you're the one in control of the situation.Online Sales Process: Are you correctly integrating your sales process into your existing website? Are you correctly gathering leads and turning them into customers? What about your existing customer database?There are a lot of people out there who are making less than $150 a month and think they'll be able to make a full time income working at home. They feel like by buying more and more books and downloading lots of e-books is going to help them when they should actually take the advice from someone who is already making a lot of money online.As a marketing coach I have seen too many small business owners trying to grow their business by using what we refer to as the "scattergun" method. That's where you prepare an advertisement that is designed to appeal to any possible customer that might have an interest in your product.There are so many benefits to having an internet marketing coach, I don't even feel that in 600 words I was able to truly express the importance of having a mentor. I know that for those of you starting out online, you are thinking "Well, I'll pay for a coach when I have a bit more money coming in" but BELIEVE ME, that money will come in so much faster if you take the time to align yourself with someone who can show you how to slice your learning curve in half.Rae Dawn Chong, daughter of Tommy Chong of "Cheech and Chong." She posts notes to her FB profile that are extraordinary. Although I don't always agree, she challenges me to reach. To expand my perspectives. To grow.Effective coaching supplies solutions for questions like these: "What's holding me back? Does my business need to expand, make more sales, or reduce expenses? Perhaps you need help identifying your problem or understanding why you feel exhausted and frustrated by a business that promised to be a success if you just kept at it and "gave it your all." Perhaps you simply feel "stuck" in your own business.
