Life Coach Needs Other Life Coaches

Posted on 18 November 2007

I had an interesting e-mail the other day from a life coach in St Louis. He was looking to set up a reciprocal link arrangement so that we could both benefit from each other’s traffic whilst offering a service to visitors from outside our own area. As first I though “Nah, not really bothered” but the more I thought about the more I thought it could be a great idea.

 

It’s really important to me that people see my website as a resource rather than just a tool to collect clients. I have a page dedicated to helping people find all kinds of self-development products and services that I am unable to offer. I have to be honest and say that about half of the links pay me a small percentage if my visitors then buy from them, but I see it as a win/win because all three parties benefit – so maybe it’s a win/win/win! I’ve had first hand knowledge of every company I link to and because of that I can recommend them all with confidence and not be worrying about somebody getting terrible life coach or NLP training or buying a product that is worthless etc. I regularly get asked to do reciprocal links with companies and individuals that offer little value to people that would be on my site, and I always turn them down. I don’t care how much money I can earn because in the long run it damages the credibility of my site and I end up becoming just another affiliate site. That wont happen, ever.

 

So back to the thing about Life Coaches. I don’t do much telephone coaching at all because I prefer to do face-to-face work. Therefore, it does seem a waste if people stumble on my site from Chicago or New York or San Francisco or wherever else looking for a coach and simply move on because they don’t live in Central Florida.

 

So, if you are a qualified life coach (and not in Orlando!) with a professional website up and running and you are looking for more work, drop me or Dieter in St Louis a line and let’s see what we can get going.

 

PS I’d also welcome hearing from life coaches in the UK
