There are actually few and reliable tips in marketing for life coaches at low cost. For online marketing there is the very affordable and no-sweat internet marketing. Read more of this article for more details about affordable internet marketing.

Keeping our marketing at an affordable measure is key to success. Here are some examples of Free or affordable Internet Marketing tools.

1. Article writing “get the word out and educate your potential clients”

A. EzineArticles.com

B. Articlebase.com “Are both free”

2. Press releases (PRWEB.COM) cost a bit, but is GREAT for spreading the word and giving you back links.

3. Make sure you and your SEO/SEM firm have a plan that is in writing and you both FULLY understand.

Have a known budget within your plan so you know what to expect and when to expect it. All too often I read that people have gone several months or years into a marketing plan with no results. The clear reason for this is a poor plan, or a plan that was poorly followed.

For example: If your marketing budget is 200.00 per month and your a Plumber in Dallas Texas, your keyword terms should not be “TEXAS PLUMBER”. The competition for this term is much too high for that budget and will likely, not deliver clients you can services. However, “DALLAS PLUMBER” or “Plumber Dallas Texas” is more GEO targeted and more likely to deliver traffic you can service. As you grow and TAKE OVER TEXAS as a plumber you can and should target this market. Understand your budget and RIO expectations.

When your considering the investment of growing your business one should also consider their future. If your financial future depends on the growth of your business “you best get to work”. Being self employed as you know is not all it is cut out to be. There is a lot of work involved. Spend the time developing practice and procedures for all things, including your marketing.

Follow the FTC Federal Trade Commission guidelines on how to market or advertise your services but any service needs to follow the FTC guideline. Mainly the FTC guidelines that apply to you as a life coach are the guidelines around demonstrating typical client results i.e. using testimonials, case studies and examples of your clients it could have been successful if you show or if you flaunt a client that made a million dollar because of your services then that with or without the right to disclaimers without you being able to say these results are not typical and here are the typical results that people get and showing some statistical results then that is a violation of the FTC guidelines.

That’s the biggest problem we usually see with coaches advertising in a way that we go against the laws or the guidelines basically other than that you are pretty much free to just get about what you want  it must be basically honest and it doesn’t commit any plagiarize practices or any kind of plagiarism or stealing from somebody.

Another tip in marketing for life coaches is article marketing. In article marketing you are going to advertise your coaching business through writing. You can write there your goal, strength, what you can do to people or anything that can help you in attracting more clients.
