The internet is full of all kinds of DIY marketing coach tips and help. This is both a good and a bad thing if you need marketing advice for your online business. While you have plenty of free information to choose from, you need to spend a lot of time sifting through all of it and separating the facts from the hype.
First, you need to find the right answers to your specific marketing problem. Then comes implementation, which can present its own set of problems, and then waiting for the results. Often, things don’t work out the way you planned and you’re back to square one: looking for the right marketing advice. All you want is to get up and running quickly so you can make money.
If you feel like you’re going in circles, it may be time to look for an Internet marketing coach to guide you. The problem is that most marketing gurus charge you an arm and a leg for their services. The good news is that you can invest in step-by-step online marketing coaching. Let me explain this concept in more detail.
Let’s say you’ve done the initial work and found a niche you want to get into. Like most startups, you have a limited budget, which means that do-it-yourself (DiY) marketing is the way to go. The biggest help you need right now is someone to show you the steps. In other words, someone to give you “how-to” instructions, not marketing theory.
Start by reaching out to a DiY marketing coach who offers video tutorials on specific topics such as navigating your Cpanel, uploading files using a free FTP program, creating an XML sitemap and submitting it to Google and other major search engines, or how to get more visibility and generate targeted traffic.
These video tutorials typically cost between $17 and $27. Use them not only to learn how to accomplish tasks yourself, but also to evaluate the quality of marketing help you receive from this person at a relatively low cost and with little risk since most Internet marketers offer a money back guarantee.
Then, as you progress beyond the basic housekeeping tasks of setting up your online business, it’s time for you to seek out more advanced marketing assistance on topics such as keyword research, long tail vs. primary keywords, optimizing your website, writing a high-converting sales letter, building your mailing list, forming joint ventures, and a host of other solid marketing tips.
Again, you can start by taking small steps. Look for a coach who offers affordable email coaching and will answer your marketing questions in 24 hours or less. The key here is to be as specific as possible in the wording of your question. Don’t be tempted to ask a general question such as “how can I make $1,000 by the end of the month?”. You may get a very generic answer that may not help you get there.
The next step is to join a group coaching program. These programs typically cost between $47 and $97 per month and you interact personally with the marketing coach through emails, online meetings and webinars. Sometimes these coaching programs also offer a user forum where you can interact with other members and get free advice.
The ultimate is one-on-one coaching or mentoring, where the marketing coach tailors the sessions to your exact business needs. This type of coaching program obviously costs a lot more, but it’s worth it if you’re looking for more strategic marketing help to really grow your online business.
Before you sign up for a one-on-one coaching program, make sure you have an initial conversation with the coach. This is when you evaluate him or her to make sure they are a good fit for you. A good marketing coach will do the same with you, they want to make sure they can work with you too. Don’t be offended if the coach starts asking you probing questions.
The Popularity of Podcasting
The podcaster medium became popular 15 years after Apple first offered more than 3,000 songs on iTunes. Millions of Americans reportedly subscribe to podcasts each week, up from 19 million in 2013. The range of options available to podcast listeners today is one reason for the rise.
With more than 54 million podcast episodes widely available worldwide, there are now more than 1,000,000 successful podcasts. Due to the low cost of entry, a record 192,000 new podcasts were released in the first ten months of 2020. Various large media companies have recently entered the industry in recognition of podcasting’s success. Joe Rogan just signed a huge multi-million dollar contract, all because of his podcast!
