Coaching And Online Marketers In 2010

Coaching And Online Marketers In 2010

If you’ve spent a good deal of time in the Internet Marketing arena,
trying to get up and running and feeling like you’re spinning your
wheels, then you may be looking for a personal mentor and coach for the
coming 2010 year.



Learning the marketing ropes on the ‘net has evolved from advice being
shared sporadically in forums to the development of how to guides
people could tackle on their own.



But lately, there’s been a movement toward more hand-holding and direct
one-on-one interaction between student and teacher. To date, only the
very rich could afford the high-priced coaching opportunities that top
marketers offered.



And in some cases, that will still hold true in the year 2010. But
here’s the good news: You can invest in coaching like you’re building a
ladder – moving up one rung at a time until you’re able to pay for top
tier mentoring at the level you need.



For example, let’s say right now you’re a total newbie. You know
nothing – you’re clueless about how to choose a niche, you don’t even
know what a keyword is, and when it comes to launching a website, you’d
prefer to run outside and bury your head in the sand like an ostrich.



You can get by with hiring a more affordable online mentor. You’ll want
someone who has more experience than you, who is making money online,
but who isn’t priced so high you’d have to take out a second mortgage
just to spend 30 minutes on the phone letting them ask you questions
about your dreams and desires.



Then as you progress, if your coach has taught you all that they can,
you move on to the next tier and the next, until you yourself are
considered an expert marketer in your own right.



When you search for a marketing coach for your 2010 business pursuits,
look for someone who does not have a one-size fits all approach to
teaching. You want someone who isn’t multi-tasking during your time
with them, whether it’s on the phone or chatting via Skype.



On the initial communication, you should both be analyzing each other –
the coach should see if you’re a good fit for what he or she teaches
and you should consider whether or not they seem like a good fit when
it comes to how you learn best in terms of sharing knowledge and even
how your personalities mesh.



Thanks for reading and may 2010 be your best year yet! 



Sincerely,

Steve Dougherty
