Coaches, Here Is The Five Step Plan For Building Your List

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012
 

Coaches, are you looking for a plan for building your coaching business? Here is the five-step plan:

1. Decide on The Target Market For Your Coaching Business. If you are not inviting people in your target market to join your list, you are wasting your time. Whenever you are taking action on building your list, make sure you are inviting the people in your target market. That way you will be able to use your list to get more clients!

2. Create Your Free Gift. You must have an effective giveaway to invite people to your list and get results. So now that you know who your target market is, find out the topic that people in your target market are interested in, and create a free gift – an ebook, a special report or an audio recording on that topic. Then, you will be able to give away this free gift to people who subscribe to your newsletter.

3. Create A Squeeze Page – A Page To Giveaway Your Free Gift. This is another very important thing that you must do. I have seen many business owners who had a great giveaway for people signing up for their newsletter, but because the page on which they were giving it away wasn’t effective, they weren’t able to get subscribers.

The reason squeeze pages are so effective for building your list is because squeeze pages have just one goal – their goal is to convert more of your web site visitors into subscribers. Because that is their only goal, every element of a squeeze page helps your web site visitor make the decision to join your list!

4. Invite People To Get Your Free Gift (And Subscribe To Your Newsletter!) Using Social Networking, Article Marketing, Blogging and Other Marketing Methods

Now that you have your squeeze page, you must invite people to it! You can use article marketing, blogging and social networking to do that. There are even more methods to invite people to your squeeze page. But the most important thing here is that you need to make sure that you are reaching people in your target market when you are using those methods – that way you are going to grow your list much faster!

5. Use Your Plan!

So many business owners create a plan, but don’t really follow it. To get results, don’t just create a plan – use it on a regular basis to build your list!

Why Do People Unsubscribe From Your Newsletter?

Thursday, August 11th, 2011
 

How do you feel when someone unsubscribes from your newsletter? Do you feel upset? Do you want to know why they had unsubscribed? There are many reasons people unsubscribe. Here are two of them:

They receive a lot of e-mail and they are overwhelmed. When people subscribe to many newsletters, they receive many e-mail messages every day. They feel overwhelmed with all that e-mail. To manage this, they decide to unsubscribe from many e-mail lists, so that they can receive fewer e-mail messages.

The information in the newsletter is not a good fit for them. There are many reasons for this. Maybe these people are not in your target market. Maybe their circumstances have changed, and they are not interested in the subject of your newsletter anymore.

There are many reasons for people to unsubscribe from your newsletter, but the key to remember is that your newsletter is not going to be a good fit for everyone in your target market. As a matter of fact, you don’t want it to be a good fit for everyone. Instead, you want your newsletter to resonate with people you are writing it for: your perfect customers.

There will always be people who unsubscribe from your newsletter. This is because not everyone is your ideal customer and your message is not going to resonate with everyone. This is exactly what you want to happen. Your newsletter subscribers should self-select so that you are communicating with the people who really want to hear from you.

Stop wondering why people unsubscribe and spend the time on attracting targeted subscribers to your newsletter instead. These are the people with whom your message resonates and the people who want to hear from you. The Grow Your List Quick Start Guide shows you how to get more newsletter subscribers for your list.

Why You Should Build The List For Your Coaching Business

Thursday, June 9th, 2011
 

Are you wondering why you must build a list for your coaching business? A list is extremely important for a coach. Without a list, you cannot reach your potential coaching clients, and you cannot tell them about your coaching products and services.

Here are three reasons to start building your list:

Promote Your Coaching Business More Effectively. Do you want to promote your coaching business more effectively, to promote your coaching business to people who are in your target market? Your list helps you do just that.

Because people who you invite to your list are in your target market, you will be able to promote your business much more effectively with your list. Without a list, many coaches promote their services anywhere and everywhere, and they end up promoting them to people who are not even in their target market. With a list, you will be able to share information about your services with people in your target market.

Reach More People In Your Target Market. When you can reach people in your target market, and let them know about your products and services, it will transform your business. Having a list will help you market your coaching business better, get the word out about your coaching products and services and get more clients. For example,

– If you are a parenting coach, how would you like to have a list of parents who want to hear from you on a regular basis?

Or

– If you are a business coach, how would you like to have a list of business owners who need help in starting and promoting their businesses?

Building a list helps you connect with people in your target market and educate them about your coaching business.

Get Better Results From Social Networking Web Sites, Such As Facebook. A lot of business owners say that they are not getting results on Facebook and other social networking web sites. Usually this is because they do not ask people they meet on social networking web sites to join their lists.

When you are building your list and inviting people on social networking web sites join your list, you will get better results from social networking and you will grow your list faster.

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011
 

Not getting results from promoting your business? Then you must build your list. Your list is a list of people in your target market who want to hear from you. Having a list will help you market your business better, get the word out about your products and services and get more clients. For example,

If you are a parenting coach, how would you like to have a list of parents who want to hear from you on a regular basis?

Or

If you are a business coach, how would you like to have a list of business owners who need help in starting and promoting their businesses?

Having a list of your potential clients who want to hear from you will transform your business. Here are four tips to help you jump-start your list building this summer:

1. Decide whom you want to invite to join your list. If you don’t know who should join your list, you will not be able to build your list effectively. Since you are building a list of your potential clients, people whom you want to invite to your list are people in your target market.

2. Create a gift for your newsletter subscribers. This gift is an information product (a special report, an audio recording, an e-course, etc) that you are giving away to your new newsletter subscribers in exchange for their subscribing to your newsletter.

If the topic of your gift is of interest to your potential newsletter subscribers, you will be able to convert more of your web site visitors into newsletter subscribers.

3. Create an effective squeeze page. A squeeze page is a page on which you are going to be giving away your gift to your newsletter subscribers. A squeeze page is very effective at building your list, because it has just one goal. The goal of the squeeze page is to convert more of your web site visitors into newsletter subscribers.

4. Drive traffic to your squeeze page. Your squeeze page will help you convert more of your web site visitors into newsletter subscribers. But in order for your squeeze page to convert more web site visitors into newsletter subscribers, you need to bring traffic to the squeeze page.

There are lots of great ways to drive traffic to your squeeze page. Social networking, blogging, and article marketing are some of marketing techniques that you can use to bring traffic to your squeeze page.

Simple Strategies For Building Your List

Thursday, October 14th, 2010
 

Many service professionals tell me that the reason they don’t build their lists is because they feel that list building is not easy to do. They don’t have the time to figure out everything that they need to do in order to build their lists, and, as a result, they don’t build their lists.

Unfortunately, when service professionals don’t build their lists they struggle with being visible and getting more clients. Having a list is crucial to being successful in your business. Without a list, you have to struggle and look for clients non-stop. When you have a list, you have a group of people in your target market with whom you can communicate on a regular basis. These are the people who know, like and trust you, so they are much more likely to purchase your products and services.

The great news is that list building does not have to be difficult. Here are three list-building techniques that I use myself and recommend to my clients. These techniques are easy to apply, and they can result in many new newsletter subscribers when you apply them effectively.

Social Networking. Using social networking web sites such as Facebook and Twitter is great for building your list. When you are using social networking for building your list you need to be involved and share tips with your followers. This way, your followers will get to know you, and more of them will be interested in subscribing to your newsletter.

Article Marketing. I love using article marketing for list building. It is effective, works great and you can use it to invite exactly people you want to invite to your list! How do you do that? By writing articles on topics that are of interest to people that you want to invite to your list.

When you submit your article to article directories, it will also include a Resource Box. The Resource Box is a one paragraph description of you and your business and a link back to your web site. Your Resource Box is what is going to help you attract more subscribers to your newsletter.

Blogging. When you are using your blog to build your list, make sure that your blog contains information about your list. Then, bring traffic to your blog by sharing your blog posts on social networking web sites. You can also optimize your blog posts for search engines, so that you can get traffic from search engines as well.

Are you sabotaging your business by not building your list?

In the meantime, here are three tips to help you start building your list:

1. Create An Effective Free Gift. Find the topic that people in your target market are interested in. Create an effective free gift, such as an ebook, special report or an audio recording on the subject. Use the free gift that you can give away to your subscribers in exchange for their subscribing to your newsletter.

2. Create An Effective Squeeze Page. Once you create a free gift, you must also create a page on which you will be giving away this gift.

This page is called a squeeze page, and the reason it is very effective is because it has just one goal, converting your web site visitors into newsletter subscribers.

3. Bring Traffic To Your Squeeze Page. Invite people to visit your squeeze page, so that they can request your free gift and subscribe to your newsletter.

There are many different methods to use to invite people to visit your squeeze page. You can use article marketing, social networking, blogging and other methods to invite people to come to your squeeze page.

Three List Building Mistakes That Service Professionals Make

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010
 

I have taught many service professionals, such as coaches, consultants and virtual assistants, about how to build their lists. And in the process, I have noticed many of them making the same mistakes. These mistakes are preventing them from building a large list of people in their target market.

When you have a list of people in your target market, everything changes. It becomes easy for you to promote your expertise and get clients. It becomes easy for you to create programs that people in your target market are interested in. It becomes easy for you to stand out among the crowd and attract more clients as a result!

Here are three mistakes that service professionals make when building their lists and how to fix them:

Mistake #1: Inviting EVERYONE To Your List

Here is a mistake that I see many coaches, consultants and other service professionals make. They invite everyone to their lists – everyone they meet at networking events, on social networking web sites, etc.

As a result, their list consists of everyone, instead of people in their target market. As a result, their lists are very unresponsive. Since the people on their lists are not in their target markets, they are not interested in their products and services.

How to fix this: Use effective marketing strategies to strategically invite people in your target market to your list.

Mistake #2: Creating An Ineffective Free Gift

I have seen many professionals create what THEY thought was a good free gift. They spent many hours on creating the gift, and then they spent even more time on promoting this gift. However, while they invested a lot of time into this free gift, people in their target market weren’t signing up for this. Why was that?

The reason for this was that people in their target market weren’t interested in their free gift. So here is what to do so that this doesn’t happen to your free gift:

How to fix this: Create a free gift that people in your target market are interested in. Before you actually create this free gift do your research to find out what people in your target market are interested in learning about.

Mistake #3: Building Your List Once A Month

Some service professionals only build their lists once in a while. Thing is, list building is not a one-time event. Rather, it is a continuous process.

When you build your list every day, you create more awareness for your business, build your list much faster and get more clients.

How to fix this: Build your list every day!

How To Use Article Marketing To Build Your List

Monday, September 13th, 2010
 

Do you use article marketing to build your list? If you are not using article marketing for list building, you are missing out on extremely targeted prospects and clients.

I love using article marketing for list building. It is effective, it works great and you can use it to invite exactly people you want to invite to your list – people in your target market!

Now the question becomes: How do you do that? How do you invite people in your target market to join your list? Yo do that by writing articles on topics that are of interest to people that you want to invite to your list.

What is article marketing? Article marketing is the process of writing articles that people in your target market are interested in reading and then submitting them to article directories to be published. It is extremely important to write articles that are of interest to your target market, because that is another way to qualify your subscribers. When the topic of your article is of interest to people in your target market, people in your target market will read your articles and find out more about your newsletter.

Here is how to do this:

Write Articles That People In Your Target Market Want To Read

What is your goal? Your goal is to invite people in your target market to read your articles. And once they read your articles, you want to invite them to join your list.

The best way to do that is by writing articles that they want to read. After all, if your articles are not of interest to people in your target market, they will not read them, and they will not join your list.

Create An Effective Resource Box

When you submit your article to directories, your article will also include a Resource Box. Your Resource Box is a one-paragraph description of you and your business and a link back to your web site.

When your articles are published in article directories web site owners, newsletter publishers and bloggers are able to use your articles on their web sites and blogs and in their newsletters. When they reprint your article, your Resource Box is also reprinted, which means that a link back to your web site will potentially appear on other web sites, in blogs and in newsletters.

This means that to get more subscribers from your articles you must create a compelling Resource Box that convinces your article readers to subscribe to your newsletter!

Submit Your Articles To Article Directories

Nothing will happen until you actually submit your articles to article directories. Make sure to submit your articles to article directories on a regular basis, and you will be able to grow your list faster and easier!
