Internet Marketing Coach: 3 Qualities to Look For
By Lillea Woodlyns

New marketers often balk at the idea of spending money on a
marketing coach. What they don't realise is that learning
how to be a marketer in the trial and error way, with
little or no professional feedback, can be far more costly
both in time and money than hiring a competant coach.

When you're serious about being successful online and don't
want to waste time and money, the advice of a good internet
marketing coach is a wise thing to seek.

How do you find a good internet marketing coach? Do you
have a list of marketers who you already respect? Why not
ask them for referrels? You can also ask for referrels on a
few internet marketing forums online.

3 Qualities To Look For In An Internet Marketing Coach

1. Successful at Online Businesss

It's far too common to find coaches who aren't successful
online business people, they have simply been trained to be
coaches by a successful marketer. Beware. You need good
business advice and feedback from someone who has 'been
there and done that', not just inspiration and pats on the
back. Do what you can to make sure the coach is a
successful online entrepreneur, not just a coach.

2. Clear Communicator

The coach should speak and write clearly. They should be
able to make complex things simple to understand so you
know exactly what you need to do and why to improve your
business.

They also should be very clear about fees and what the
contract will be. There should be nothing mysterious about
what you'll be getting out of the arrangement.

3. Reliable

The coach should get back to you in a timely way, do what
they say they're going to do, and give you advice that is
up-to-date and useful for your business specifically.

It's a good idea to test a coach before you put any money
down. Observe how they treat people who contact them. Write
them an e-mail or call them to test their support system
before you hire them. How they treat potential clients is
important.

There are other qualities that are important to look for in
an internet marketing coach, but if a coach meets these 3
criteria at least, that's a great start. When you take a
little time to do research, it won't be long until you find
a competant coach who will help your business in many
beneficial ways.
