8 Tips to Choose an Internet Marketing Coach

8 Tips to Choose an Internet Marketing Coach
There are many ways to make money online and the shortcut
to creating your Internet Income is to follow the guidance
from an Internet Marketing Coach. Here we present you 8
simple ways to find a real online marketing coach.

1. The first factor to consider is to ask how much is the
Internet marketing coach making money online, and if so,
how much?

There is a huge difference for someone making a few
thousands and another one making millions of dollars, each
year. An internet coach that teaches you strategies learnt
from a book is never as useful as one that shows you real
experience of making lots of money online, so it's not a
"textbook" coach that you need.

If you intend to make US$100,000 online, then find a Coach
who makes at least US$1,000,000 from his or her internet
business.

2. If an Internet coach claims that he has made a lot money
online, can he prove it?

Did the Coach show you his or her online income statement?
On the Internet, beware of a lot of bogus claims. It just
takes some simple editing software to change the digits on
a cheque or on a Clickbank statement.

How do you check for this claim then? Visit the website and
understand the nature of business this person is operating.
If he sells a software for US$20 and gets 1,000 sales each
month (totalling to US$20,000 in income), but spends over
US$10,000 in Google Adwords advertising. Then his income
derived will be just US$10,000 and then you need to minus
the percentage of affiliate commissions he is paying (and
for ebooks and digital softwares, it can be as high as
75%). Therefore, even if his affiliate commissions are 50%,
the nett income this person earns is just about US$5,000
right?

3. Is the coach practising what he teaches?

Many self-proclaimed Internet marketing coaches are
"overnight" gurus who have made some money by selling
ebooks or making money information.

Even if an Internet coach can prove he is making money
online, find out what is his main source of income. Most of
the Internet marketing coaches' main income is by selling
making money information, and then by teaching. And if if
they claim you can make millions of dollars without selling
anything, or even without doing any hard work, then you
need to be ultra careful.

If you want to sell physical products, and if the coach
cannot prove he has sold physical products successfully,
how can he be qualified to teach you to do so?

4. Search for the keyword "Internet marketing coach" or
"Internet marketing coaching" in Google or Yahoo.

These keywords represent this industry and their top
rankings are eyed on by millions of Internet marketing
coaches globally and are therefore extremely competitive.

If this coach's website cannot be found on page 1 of the
search results, but he claims he can teach you how to be on
top of search engines, how can he be qualified to do so?

I'm sure you have seen some websites claiming they can
teach you SEO, when their sites can only be found in
sponsored links (meaning they are probably teaching you
search engine advertising and not free search engine
optimization techniques).

But don't get me wrong. Being able to be on top of search
engines for these keywords doesn't guarantee sales (if you
target the wrong keywords), but it gives you the chance to
get free advertising online to your target prospects if you
locate the correct search keywords.

5. What kind of coaching support is the coach providing you?

Due to limited resources, most of them can offer you only
email support, which is the most basic level of support.
How can 1 person support hundreds of students at one time?

You should find someone, or rather a reputable Internet
marketing company, who has perfected an online support
system, such as online members' area with uploaded course
materials, online ticket system for asking and answering
questions, plus support from the technical team.

When and how soon will your Internet Business Coach reply
to your questions? Who answers your questions? An
administrative or sales staff will not have the proper
qualification nor experience to teach you how to get top
rankings in search engines.

6. Can the coach offer you regional support?

For instance, if you want to target the Asian markets?
Does the coach have regional physical offices in other
countries? If you intend to sell to the Chinese, then you
need to translate your website pages into Chinese, and
target local search engines in China and Hong Kong. Does
your Internet Coach have Chinese rankings in top China
search engines such as Baidu and Yahoo.com.cn?

7. Has the coach groomed any successful Internet
entrepreneurs, in selling different types of products,
services and information?

If yes, how successful they are? Has any of their coaching
participants made millions of dollars online? If the
students that are coached, end up only reselling the
Coach's ebooks or softwares, then something must be wrong!

8. Is this coaching program the ONLY one you need to attend?

Is the coach teaching you most of the things you need to
learn to make money online during the seminar or coaching?
Or is he only interested in upselling you to other more
expensive seminars, programs or websites? We have seen many
cases of entrepreneurs signing for a simple US$1,000
internet conference and leaving the 3 days conference with
additional ebooks and videos purchase of US$5,000. In
total, you would have ended up paying US$6,000 right?

Using the tips above, you can look forward to hiring an
efficient real Internet Marketing Coach that can guide you
towards creating your income online.
