Find a JV Partner: How to Choose Coaching JV Opportunities

Coaches who are interested in building their email lists are open to joint venture opportunities. These type of opportunities are helpful for expanding your network, getting your products and services more exposure and even building your own email list.

However, finding the right joint venture partners can be tricky. It's not a great idea to partner with internet marketers who are hawking everything from Facebook ads to acne medication. You need to find the right fit. This can take a long time of searching, contacting people, waiting for response and then putting together a good fitting offer to then offer to each others' lists.

However, if you work within a network that you trust, this can be a huge asset to your business, and to those who are also involved. To consider a JV partner, here are a few tips to explore first before joining up:

1. Research this person online. Do they offer professional services, have a good presence?

2. What is their list size? How often to do they mail them? Sign up for their emails and see if their content is in-line with what you require. Look for well-written copy, well-designed emails and also watch frequency. Emailing once a week is optimal; several times a week turns people off.

3. Try a small JV opportunity first. Instead of doing a huge roll-out to your trusted list, start by offering a small ad in your ezine or blog in exchange for the same. If your readers respond to the offer and vice versa (you get response from the JV ad), you can feel comfortable going forward with a larger offer.

How to Hire a Fiction Ghost Writer for Your Kindle, Amazon Book Publishing

Need to hire a writer? Look for experience, skill-level, ability, English, ability to meet deadlines. Hire someone who has experience and can write the type of fiction you need. Review samples carefully. Hiring a good fiction writer isn't difficult but don't be a task-master. Writer are creative people and need a certain autonomy to do their best work. Set guidelines and expectations and then let them go. Review sample chapters and outlines before they start so you are sure to be on the same page about results. Don't be a miser. It's tempting to go to fiverr and hire a writer that will give you a "unique fiction book" for $30. Don't be fooled. Unique takes time. It takes skill. It takes experience. Unless you're willing to do a lot of copyediting and rewriting (converting into understandable English, usually), you'll end up paying even more to get the job done right. Not all writers on fiverr or oth...

Where to Get Free Life Coaching Leads

When you're starting your coaching business, the toughest thing could be getting new leads. It's where most coaches struggle. However, if you're resourceful, you can come up with leads in your very own neighborhood. One way is to start a networking group. This isn't just any old networking group, however. It's a coach networking group. By working with a small group of dedicated coaches from every discipline (love, life, weight, business, etc.) you can create a "forum" of sorts that not only helps you grow, gives you credibility in your community and exposure, but also gives you a constant source of leads to share with others. By setting up a group like this you can mandate that all members bring and share leads, offer resources for learning and even help share in any costs associated with running the group. You can advertise on local sites like craigslist.org or even set up a Meet Up group dedicated to this.

Get Coaching Clients: How to Get Leads

Getting leads is easy. You can buy them, swap them, even sweat a little and give away a good offer to subscribe them. But getting good leads is harder. Good leads are those who are interested--truly interested--in what you've got. For example, if you sell hot dogs and someone comes and asks for ice cream, no matter how great your hot dogs are, if they are really looking for chocolate, no sale. In other words, unless someone wants what you've got, it's a pretty losing proposition. Yet, I find so many going after who they think is a great prospect and losing out on the actual prospect. If you have to talk someone into something, they don't really want it. However, if you just have to gently lead them to the decision, they probably do. Leading them is just a matter of asking the right questions and picking up on cues from their answers, hesitations and voice modulations. If you ask someone how business is going and they hesitate or skirt the issue, you can b...
