I am going to tell you all the absolute truth about how I started out online and how difficult it was for me to learn all there was to learn and how confused I was. I was looking for some information online to help me start my coaching business and I found very little but I did find some and what I found helped me a great deal.
I want to tell you this so you will consider joining me for 12 weeks as we work our way through Dr. Jeanette Cates' "Online Success Incubator". I will be guiding and coaching you through each module for FREE! The way I will get paid is from the commission I make as an affiliate for Jeanette. The classes begin 7/19 at 8p ET.
I don't remember who's list it was but I signed up in someone's opt-in box and began to observe the process of online marketing and soon found myself as interested in the online marketing process as I was the information that I was getting. The next thing I knew I could not get enough of this whole idea of being able to market my coaching business to people all over the world! WOW! Imagine the possibilities…if I only knew more about this whole online marketing thing. I was bit by the online bug and I was off to find out as much as I could about this new form of marketing.
I spent months reading all the free material anyone offered. Soon I found myself on dozens of peoples lists and my mail box was flooded with more than I could possibly read. I would listen to free audio mp3's while I was exercising just soaking up every bit of information I could get. Only one problem with this idea….everyone said something slightly different so I could not determine who was correct. Soon I became confused and overwhelmed. In fact, I almost just gave up.
Then I came across Dr. Jeanette Cates and her "Online Success Incubator". It was amazing! She had tons of information, videos, how to's, PDF, audios on every topic you could ever want to know about. I found the gold mine of Internet marketing information but there was so much there!
I noticed that Jeanette lived in Austin…in fact she lived very close to me and I decided I was going to meet her. Long story short after practically stalking her she granted me a lunch meeting and we hit it off very well. I volunteered to do anything to help her in her business if she would just give me a little direction as I got started on the Internet.
Well, she took me up on my offer and suggested that I catalogue her videos in the Incubator for her….little did I know that there were over 300 videos. The result was that I had to make my way through the video content in the Incubator and boy did I learn a lot. I also become friends with this wonderful and brilliant woman.
Please consider joining me for this 12 week learning experience that will change your business completely! I will guide you each week on a webinar and you will have email access to me as well. http://www.jeanettecatesincubator.com

Coaching products allow coaches to reach many more people than is possible coaching one on one. However, to get people to purchase and consume those products we must become master motivators. The word motivate is critical to writing good sales letters so it is essential that we understands what motivates people.
Most people are more motivated to avoid pain than they are to seek pleasure. However, studies also show that people are more willing to spend large sums of money to reach a goal. That is why people will spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on education.
The point is that both types of emotions, positive and negative, play a huge part in our motivations to take action so we must think about how to use those emotions the goal is to cause action. Let us take a look at the some of the positive emotions as described by Napoleon Hill the author of “Think and Grow Rick”.
Love
We all have the desire to be loved. When you motivate with love then you have hit the tap root of human nature. Look at all the things we do to ensure that others love us. We buy billions of dollars worth of perfume and cosmetics to be attractive to love. We give to others because we love them or we desire that they love us. We make huge sacrifices for others that we love. Love is probably the single most powerful motivator of human kind next to fear.
All of this means that people are motivated by the desire to have the love of others and to express our love for others. Touch on these desires and get straight to the heart of the matter.
Show people how they can love or be loved by using coaching to reach their goals. Remember when we do something to increase our self-esteem we are also loving ourselves and there is no greater boost to self esteem that reach a goal.
Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm can sell all by itself. We have all gotten wrapped up in the pitch of an enthusiastic person. Enthusiasm is contagious and is a strong motivator. I know you have been swept up in the enthusiasm of another person and based on their enthusiasm you have taken on and accomplished a task or goal that you may not have achieved without that motivation of enthusiasm from the other person.
People are most authentic and enthusiastic about their passions so make sure that you are coaching in a niche that you are passionate about. Your enthusiasm will be contagious and will attract clients with little effort on your part.
When you know that you can serve your target coaching niche and help them to overcome their challenges and achieve their goals and you can communicate that certainty and enthusiasm then you will see clients flocking to your coaching business.
Loving people, helping them love themselves, and passion for your coaching niche are an unstoppable attraction force. If you can communicate those emotions in your sales copy then you will have a powerful tool for getting new coaching clients.
