What Can An Internet Marketing Coach Do For You?

I’ve written this post to show you how a marketing coach can help you save time, save money, and get you to making money quickly.

A few years ago a gentleman came to me in total frustration. He had bought every marketing product under the sun and was still not making any money.

As soon as I heard the words come out of his mouth… “Liz, I’ve bought everything, but I’m not making money”. I basically knew what his problem was.

He had bought so much stuff, but wasn’t doing anything with it. He had information overload in the worst way.

So I got on the phone with him and asked him a few questions…

What are your hobbies?
What do people say you’re good at?
What are your favorite things to do?

Basically he said he had no hobbies, and never did anything. All he wanted to do was make money online to be able to quit his job and travel.

Well it turns out, one of his hobbies was traveling, his favorite thing to do was travel, and people loved the pictures he took when he traveled.

If you don’t see where this is going yet, just wait.

With that one statement, I had an entire plan created in my head for this man.

I told him he needed to start a blog. Blog about all of his travels and post all his pictures on it. For a few weeks he did this, and absolutely loved it. He had placed some Adsense ads on his blog as I had told him to do, and had started making a few bucks a day.

Not enough to get him to the quitting his job level, but he actually made his first money online ever, and he had been trying for over 4 years.

So after I taught him blogging, the correct way to do it, and had him making money, we talked about creating products for the travel niche. He wanted no part of that. At the time anyway…

So I talked him into promoting products as an affiliate he agreed, and we went to work creating an affiliate marketing plan for him.

He built (I should say paid to have built) 5 additional websites promoting 5 different products. These were simple squeeze pages, that got people to give up their name and email address in return for a free offer. They were hooked to an autoresponders that had promotional email messages and content promoting different affiliate products

He took the Adsense ads off his blog and replaced them with ads for his squeeze pages. Almost instantly instead of getting money for Adsense clicks, he started getting subscribers to his optin pages which turned into affiliate sales.

He was now making more money than with Adsense…

Next we created an advertising plan for the 5 squeeze pages.

He stuck to this plan and worked on it each day for a few hours.

Within 2 months this man was making double what he had with his job. 4 months later he quit his job.

He now travels, blogs about those travels, and makes an awesome income as an affiliate marketer.

He pays me $497 a month religiously because of the success he has had with me, and we still talk 4-6 times a month.

Over the last several months, we have been talking about product creation. Now at first he was dead set against it because he hates to write, and has no other skills to create any other type of products.

I’ve now taught him about outsourcing product creation, and his first product is due out in November of 2008. It’s a product all about getting paid to travel.

So basically, this guy went from buying everything, and not making money to living the lifestyle he wants and making even more money.

That’s what a coach can do for you.

If you’re willing to listen, do what you’re told, and learn, then a coach can save you a ton of money and at the same time get you to the money making level you want to be at.

My Top WordPress Plug Ins For Internet Marketers

Everyone has been asking me for a list of plugins that I use, so I thought I’d take a few today and list them all here. They are in no certain order, but these are ones I install with every blog I install no matter what niche it’s in or purpose it has!

These plugins rock!

TweetSuite - Automatically sends a tweet when you post to your blog, allows people to tweet your posts, displays your latest tweets, and more! KILLER!!

Auto Hyperlink ULRs - Automatically makes any links in your post clickable.

My Category Order - Allows you to list your blog categories in any order that you want.

Askimet - When you install WordPress this is automatically installed. You just have to activate it. This thing is a must have as it catches the SPAM you have to deal with on your blog.

PowerPress - Can you say free iTunes traffic? Not only will you get free traffic from iTunes, but this plugin will allow you to do a ton with podcasts to help you get traffic!

Tagalize It - Use this post to tag your keywords in your post and stay at the top of technorati for your keywords.

What Would Seth Godin Do - Allows you to post a message at the top or bottom of your page for first time visitors, and then a different message for return visitors. Great to use to advertise special offers, your optin form, and more!

Google Sitemap Plugin - The Google Sitemap Plugin automagically pings Google, Yahoo!, and MSN Search at regular intervals, notifying them of new content and/or changes to your site. You literally don’t have to do anything in order to make it “work.”

All In One SEO Pack - I only get about 20% of my traffic from the search engines, so I do little with SEO. However this plugin allows me to do what little I do VERY quickly and easily. Another must have!

Subscribe To Comments - When someone leaves a comment giving them the option to subscribe to it will get them back to your site. Recycling traffic is a VERY good thing. You’ll get a return visitor to do more for you than you will a new one!

This post will be continually updated….
