It's one thing to sell a membership site, eBook or home study course to someone who wants a problem solved by you, but many people need that extra bit of hand holding. That one on one advice, coaching. There are three ways you can provide coaching, group coaching, personal coaching and confidential coaching. Let's go through each of them and figure out which one is best for you.

Group coaching is also known as an online class. For example, let's say you were running a membership site teaching people how to lose weight. You might run a special program and only allow ten to thirty individuals to join that coaching program. You meet once per week to check in on everyone's results, everyone shows up at the same time, you teach a little bit and go over the feedback that you're getting from these students. That's called group coaching, a set number of people joining a program and they all meet together with you as the leader and the teacher, and they all get the information at once. This is great because you can set a plan or curriculum ahead of time, for example, teach a four week course, record it and now you have a four module membership site full of case studies you can sell over and over again.

Personal coaching is where you meet one on one with someone to go over their progress, their problems and their needs. Personal coaching means that you are meeting with one student at a time. Because the energy is focused to just one person you can get away with only meeting for ten or twenty minutes at a time. I really neat thing to try is offering twenty minutes of personal coaching as a bonus to your next product or service, see how many people actually take you up on it and what feedback you get from these customers.

The other thing about personal coaching is you should record this as well and add it to your membership area as a bonus, even if someone does not have the exact same situation. For example, with weight loss which you might have one on one coaching student, everyone can learn from other people's progress. You might be wondering why I told you to record a personal one on one coaching session because everything you do should be leverage. Your time is valuable and it's really neat to get paid upfront for a one on one session and be able to help others.

If someone you're meeting, if one of your students wants the call to be kept confidential, what I recommend is charging double to keep the call unrecorded. For example, you might charge $100 for a twenty minute session where you go one on one with someone's problem and fix it. Then you might charge $200 for the same twenty minute session, but for $200 the recording will not be posted to your member's area.

That is how you provide group coaching, personal coaching and confidential coaching, the thing to keep in mind through all this is you are providing a solution to a problem and helping to get your students where they need to go.

It's very difficult to figure out anything, or to get clarity or motivation without a coach or a mentor. That's why you should choose a mentor but make sure that mentor is accessible, that they have similar goals and knowledge, that they are consistent in their advice, and finally that there is some downtime between that advice you get, you taking action on that advice and meeting with them again.

Many internet marketers, gurus and successful business people will give you advice. Almost all of them have courses or blogs, or books you can purchase. But, you need to find at least one mentor where you can talk to them face to face, online, personally by e-mail or on the phone. This is very important because anyone can give you advice in a blog, post or book but they aren't speaking directly to you.

It really helps if you explain your situation, your problem, your dilemma and then they give you advice specific to you. You can say, I'm going to be launching this product, what should I change? Here is the web page or sales letter, what should be added or removed? What should my next product be? What am I missing right now in my business as far as my subscribers or my offers that should be improved? Find a coach that offers a coaching program where at least you have some accessibility and you can personally contact them, at least a couple of times per year, to get your problems solved.

It doesn't do you any good if you are corresponding with a coach that gives you advice that you shouldn't take action on. That's why when you figure out who you're getting your advice from, this person should have similar knowledge and similar goals as you. That means that if you are running an internet marketing business, you shouldn't get coached by a real estate expert. They are not going to know the ins and outs of your business as well as an internet marketing coach. Make sure you have similar knowledge and goals as this coach.

Getting advice is good, getting the correct advice is even better, but now you also have to take action on that advice. That's why you shouldn't deal with a coach that is too accessible. Join a coaching program where you meet once a month or once a week, but in between that time get stuff done. Accomplish those tasks so you will have results and measurements to report back on, and then you can move onto the next step. If you get advice over and over from a coach what are the options? Either to give you different advice this time or repeat the advice from before, it works a lot better if you're at step number one, they tell you what to do, then you meet again when you're at step number two and so on.

When you're finding the right mentor or coach choose one with a coaching program where they're accessible. Make sure they have similar goals and knowledge as you and make sure there is downtime between meetings so you can take some action and get some results.

It doesn't take a lot of change in your life just to become more organized, clear your head and get more productive. Three things will get you started. Clean your work area by removing clutter, set work hours and complete four daily tasks.

One thing you should do immediately is clear everything off your desk. Everyone I know who has a messy desk, a messy work area, papers everywhere, notes scribbled on post-it notes, is scatterbrained and they simply don't get a lot of stuff done. What's funny about taking notes is that about 80% of the notes you take will never be used again, all they really do is steal your focus and attention, and distract you from doing the things you actually need to do. If you have passwords that need saving store them in double form. If you have notes that you need to take get them typed up, saved in a file in Ever Notes or in the Word document, put them away. Put things away in your closet, your desk drawers, your filing cabinet. Get it out of your face by removing clutter.

The next thing you should do is set what hours in the day you are going to be completing tasks. There is a reason why most people who work in corporate America nine to five jobs, have to come in at a certain time and have to stay until a certain time. Because, if those hours were not set the average person would not come in at all. If you're working for yourself you still have the freedom to set any hours you want, just figure out if you're going to be working from five o clock to ten o clock, from ten to two or even from nine to five, but decide ahead of time which hours in the day you are going to be completing tasks and stick to them.

When you are completing those tasks I have found that the best amount of things to do is four. Don't have a long to do list, don't have just one big task that you're completing today. Choose four milestones that you can realistically get through during today's workday, and simply complete them.

That's all you have to do in order to get organized and get more done. Clean your work area, set specific hours that you will be working and complete four milestones every single day.

You need some people skills when it comes to internet marketing. When you are marketing on the internet, that mean setting up websites and somehow making money with those website over the internet, it can be a very isolated and lonely process. Many people get into internet marketing because they don't want to deal with people. I'm here to tell you that if you can be somewhat personable, at least take ten or twenty minutes out of your day to personally connect with customers, joint venture prospects and more, then those joint ventures, seminars and webinars will make you a lot more money.

Joint ventures are how most people make their money on the internet. A joint venture might mean that someone has an information product and they personally contact people to promote that product. Just doing this shortcuts years of list building, traffic building and so on because you find someone who already has resources. Someone who already has a list to recommend your product to them.

I have made several joint ventures just by sending a quick personal e-mail or calling someone on the phone. It seems scary but a two or five minute phone call could give you the boost you've always needed to make more money this month. Another really great way to make these connections is by going to physical seminars or conferences. What happens is a marketer hosts an event, usually a weekend or a two or three day event, everyone travels to this event and watches the speakers present. For the most part people travel to events to make new connections and meet new people, to find out what is going on.

You can go to these events with some business cards, but go with just the intention of making friends and providing value. Go to a seminar, see who's there and find out who you can run an interview with, who you can run a webinar with, who's product you can buy and then review, that is a great connection you can make. My favorite way of connecting and using people skills is using group webinars.

A webinar means that someone can join your live call, see your screen and hear your voice live, but they cannot talk back, they can only listen to you, type in questions in the question box, vote in polls and so on. This is great because you can speak one time and connect with hundreds of your subscribers at the same time. They can talk back to you as they type and you can take questions, interview people, but webinars are a great way not just to make products and pitch those products, but figure out what your customers, what your subscriber list really wants and needs from you.

I know that as an internet marketer you might want to do everything yourself but you will really shortcut a lot of time by making new joint ventures, attending physical seminars and going to, and creating your own, live webinars.

Personal accountability means that you have a specific set of tasks to complete today and instead of simply doing those tasks, or hoping you'll complete those tasks, you get someone else involved in those tasks. You tell someone upfront, here are the things I'm going to do today. You do them and then you report back on them. To set up personal accountability find someone that you can report what you're going to do and what you have done. Explain why or why not you did or did not finish those tasks and keep in mind that this can be anyone. You can use anyone in your life as an accountability partner.

Staying accountable is very easy. I recommend you choose four things at the beginning of every day that you need to complete. These can be large or small tasks but they should be easy enough that you can realistically complete all four of these things today. Contact someone at the beginning of the day and explain these four tasks. I have done this over e-mail, over the phone or even in person, but very quickly list the four things you want to accomplish today and then stop talking to that person and go do them. Do your best to knock out all four of those tasks. If you only knock out three that's OK, but it's more important to get some of these tasks completely finished instead of having four half finished tasks.

Don't talk to your accountability partner until you have completed or finished your day and then go through each of the tasks. This also is a very speedy process. Look at task number 1, did you or did you not finish it? If you did then that's all there is to say, if you didn't finish it explain why. Did you run out of time, did an emergency come out, it's very important that you explain your reason or excuse for not completing that task. You'll feel guilty for not finishing a task and you'll feel as if you have let someone else down. This seems mad but it simply means that you will feel bad about not completing tasks but you will feel good about completing tasks.

This seems like an accountability partner is a very close personal friend but in fact it can be anyone. A spouse, a business partner, even someone that you have made friends with online. It doesn't matter if the person necessarily even reads or replies to your four daily tasks. Just send them an e-mail everyday with these four things and you'll know that that person probably read that e-mail and if they see later on that you didn't complete all four tasks, even if they don't reply, they'll feel bad about what you haven't accomplished. But, if they see that you have finished all four tasks they will be proud of you. That's how you run personal accountability.

Choose the four things you will be completing at the beginning of the day, tell someone, then do your best to complete then and report back about what you did or did not finish.

Something you may have heard that you should be doing is to choose one or more mentors and then try to be like them. It really helps you to achieve your goals, get more accomplished and expand your business if you know who you want to be like. That's why when you model successful people you should listen to their speaking, or their information products in the background, figure out what are their top three activities and top three avoidances, take their training and apply their course, step by step, so you can follow in their footsteps, but in your own way.

One thing that has really helped me always be in a good mood, write better and even speak better is to choose a mentor, buy their course or product and always have it playing in the background. That way when it comes to the time to make a decision or put some thoughts into words, you'll think in that person's tone of voice and in that person's thought structure because you've had them on in the background. Think about this, if you had a depressing or a downer speaker in the background, you would feel down or depressed. If you had an exciting or knowledgeable, or uplifting speaker playing in the background, listening to that person would get you in a better mood and a better state.

Getting that person's voice in your head isn't enough. You also need to somewhat do what it is they do. By this I mean, if you want to get better at real estate, choose a top person in real estate, buy their course, listen to them and follow what it is they do. I know that many teachers and product creators tend to make their process seem complicated but most people focus on just a small number of things, at least successful people. That means if you've chosen that mentor figure out what are their top three activities. What things do they do themselves verses what they outsource. What do they not do that other people do do and look at what things they avoid. What parts about real estate do they avoid? Do they avoid the paperwork, the phone calling, do they focus on fixing up the property themselves? What specifically do they do and what do they avoid so you know what to do and what to avoid.

Now you've listened to that person in the background to get them in your head, you've duplicated their top three activities and avoidances, and now all that's left is for you to take their training and apply it step by step. One thing that I see happen over and over, whether it's in the internet marketing niche, self help niche, or any other niche, is that many people will buy multiple products or courses and try to apply them all at once. Instead buy your mentor's course and apply it from start to finish, without getting distracted or without trying to apply anyone else's information.

There are many ways to take in information and get your problems solved, whether these are technical problems, money problems, health or innermost problems, whatever your issue is there's always some kind of a solution available. There are many terms and many ways of teaching you may not have been exposed to, let's figure out which one is best for you. A physical seminar, a home study course, one on one training or done for you training.

A physical seminar means someone hosts an event, usually at a hotel in a major city. You fly to that hotel, usually for a weekend, show up in the meeting room, and see presenters speak on stage. You take notes, you figure out what needs to be done, this is a great fast way to immerse yourself and get a lot of information upfront, get on track and connect with other attendees at the seminar. The only problem with a seminar is that it might be a long trip for you to travel to one of these events and it does cost a few thousand dollars after your take into account the ticket for the event, the travel and hotel. But, if you are brand new to an event this is the way for you to get started.

On the other hand, if you're not quite ready to go to a live event or your budget is still low at the moment, a home study course is a great alternative. A home study course means that you pay x for access to a download area, you might get some CDs, DVDs and workbooks in the mail, and you may have a way to interact with other people online. There are home study courses that are as simple as a PDF report, a series of audios or one long video. A home study course is what you should go for if your budget is limited and you are first getting started in a niche. In fact, a great plan for you is to buy a home study course now, give yourself a month or two to complete all of the training and then attend a physical seminar in this niche.

When you attend a physical seminar they might sell you on more home study courses, but what many people offer is some one on one training. This means that use the home study course and the notes you took in the physical seminar to set up the basics, set up your basic real estate business, or your basic internet marketing business. Now it's time to make you it and to course correct and get over obstacles that you might see along the way. For example, is your list not big enough, are there sales that aren't converting, do you have enough traffic, are you not sure about what product to make? These are all things that a one on one coach can help you with when you meet with them, the figure out what's wrong with your business and you correct it.

The final choice, and this is if you have a large budget and not wanting to do a lot of work at all, is the done for you option. This is where you pay someone a lot of money to set up your website, to run your ad campaign. You give them money and they do as much as possible on their own.

So, when you're deciding between a physical seminar, a home study course, one on one training or a done for you option, I recommend that you start by buying a home study course. Then, plan on attending a physical seminar and based on the advice there graduate to either a one on one option, if you want to have a hands on business, or a done for you option if you want to outsource your business.

If you have a membership site where you charge a monthly fee or an upfront fee, you're always leaving money on the table because many people are willing to hire you to do the work for them. Whether we are talking about the real estate niche, the self help niche, a technical niche, whatever it is people are always willing to pay you money to do the work for them.

When you're doing this price the done for you job at a price that you think people will not pay. Use this as a way to keep your ear to the ground and find out what customers want exactly, once you have many of these done for you or coaching jobs completed yourself think about upselling them into a recurring monthly coaching program.

If you are against the idea of someone paying you money and being able to hire you to complete a task consider it a red herring offer. Here's what that means, make the done for you price so high that in comparison the membership training someone just purchased is very very low. I'll give you an example, let's say you had a training course on how to set up a Facebook fan page. You charged $200 for this course, for many people $200 might seem, at first, like a very high price. If you had a button inside your membership site that charged $5,000 to set up a Facebook fan page, now that $200 to learn how to do it themselves seems cheap.

There will always be people who want to see how the process is done but they want someone else to do the heavy lifting. This is where you come in, you charge someone $200 to find out how to set up a Facebook fan page and you then charge them $5,000 to set it up for them. At the very worst your customers just say no and don't buy from you. If you have a few people buy from you, you can talk to them one on one and figure out exactly what all their customers are needing. For example, if you get hired to set up someone's Facebook fan page and they ask for Facebook graphics, they ask for specific tabs to be set up, they ask for a way to connect it to an e-mail auto responder. These are all things you can add into the done for you package so they pay one price and you deliver ten items in return.

It really helps to keep your ear to the ground for your customers because this will help with your coaching offers and you can add this as bonus training inside your membership site.

Finally, if you get sick of always waiting for someone to buy done for you coaching or you get sick of having to follow up to see if anyone needs any work completed this month then get them on an automatic monthly payment. After all, it only takes a few seconds to set up a onetime payment button in PayPal, and the same is true for a monthly button.

Just figure out how much you're willing to charge per month then set it pay you once every thirty days forever and as long as someone is paying you month after month, you are providing whatever service has been agreed upon. For example, you might set up someone's WordPress blog and for them paying you month after month you are adding in content for them, a set number of blog posts, a set number of comments, a set number of traffic. You do the work every month and you get paid every month, it's pretty simple.

So, add a buy coaching button to your site, treat it as a red herring offer, find out what your customers want and later think about a monthly coaching upsell.
