coaching

I have a coach and an accountability partner. Both help me to
focus, follow-though and point out little things that I might not
notice.

I would ask what you want the coaching for. I was coaching
through writing my first physical book, through becoming a
more effective platform speaker, and a few other things. We
started out with very specific objectives for the coaching to
ensure that we tracked how well it worked.

pm me if you have any questions.....

by the way, i have been researching this coach thing for 5 months now, so, i reviewed many of them....

One on one coaching is very expensive. If you see coaching for less than $20,000 it will be video and email based. I've not met any that have live skype rooms. You might get a forum to ask questions if you don't mind waiting for days (in most cases) for an answer but to me a coach is someone you can talk to and ask advice from. Coaching is the highest form of help and as such I would expect a phone number (I used to be a coach and people could ring me any time day or night).

We don't talk in single short sentences to each other, we have discussions in real time. To me that is what real coach should be. Someone who can talk to you and help you personally one on one. Otherwise it's just another forum or email service with videos. I think the best thing you can hope for is video guidance. If you want to physically talk to someone - you better get ready to dig very deep. Having said that, if just 30 minutes with a coach will help you make more than the cost then you're ok but if you're expecting real human voice conversations...don't. One extremely high cost coach on here was even very rude to me (for no reason - I had barely introduced myself) so unless I can physically talk to a real live human coach I would just hope that your next video course is a good one.

I've been looking for a live skype daily chat room but one does not exist. Probably because Skype refuses to host them anymore (unless everyone is on skype 3.8). You do raise a good point though. Live talk is extremely valuable and will shortcut months and sometimes years of trying to figure it out yourself.

Coaching, like any other service, is all relative to your value of time and money. To some SEO is "too costly" while to others spending $3k a month on SEO is "a bargain". Someone selling a $7 eBook on a low traffic site will look at a $297 SEO package as being "costly" but a commercial loan modification firm making $35k in commissions on a single sale will see $3k as "a bargain". In each situation the value is determined the same way...

While $20k a year may seem like a lot for coaching, it's all relative. If that $20k investment makes you $50k back or $500k, then it's a bargain. I once paid a coach $2000 for 2 hours of time and I can say that to this day I still have a bond with that mentor because he was able to "cut through" so much in such a short time.

Quality coaches that are teaching based on their experience and not just regurgitating information, can often cut right to the chase and save you time and effort. Likewise, as Willie Crawford pointed out above, accountability partners can help a lot as well by "keeping you focused" by knowing that you made a commitment and someone is watching.

I've spent a lot on coaching over the years and have very rarely ever regretted it. But you have to be realistic about your expectations of coaching and hold yourself accountable for taking action on the advice and guidance of your coach. Lack of action is the single biggest reason for lack of success and it's hard in virtual coaching to give you that occasional "cattle prod jolt" that many need...

Probably the biggest rub with coaches is to make sure that they had success before they started into coaching. I wouldn't want Internet Marketing advice from a professional coach that has never been a successful marketer. That being said, they don't have to be rock stars either, but a respectable history creates trust and respect in the relationship.

having a mentor is always a great way in ensuring progress...but what type of coaching do you need though?

Your money is better spent buying traffic. Raw data and experience are the fastest and most effective tools for figuring out this IM thing. If it's just constructive criticism or accountability you're after, put together a mastermind group.

Price? Free-99.

I have considered coaching or mentoring, but the cost is really off-putting to me. Off-the-cuff advice can be great, but a well-research product with email support is probably better. Rather than buying coaching time or mentoring time, I think buying one of their expensive products with email support is just as good. I mean, how many questions could you seriously have?

WF is the free coach I always wanted.

There are many great coaching/mentoring programs out there. Some are very complete garbage and others are really good.

Private one on one can be very expensive, but if you achieve really good results its well worth it.

I feel I have found the absolute best one for me and it was only $47 one time fee, and I have access to his personal cell, skype, email, and he responds daily to blog posts.

It is a step by step training program that takes you from beginner to having your site ranked on front page of google in a few weeks, with a ton of hard work of course.

Just wanted to say there are some really good ones out there, do your research ask around, you will find the right one for you..
