I keep seeing my clients make the same mistakes over and over again that’s costing them time, money and energy in their businesses. I listen to them telling me how they seem to be doing all of the right things but aren’t getting people to buy their packages or sign up to their events and I know how they feel. I’ve been there, done that and got the t-shirt.
The one mistake coaches make with marketing is simple;
Not doing enough of it!
Ok, so there’s a bit more to it but let me share with you a short video of some of my thoughts around it.
In the video I talk about my freebie mini ebook, 7 Things They Didn’t Tell You At Coaching School, where I explain that marketing can take up around 50% or more of the time you spend running your coaching business. That includes things like networking both on and offline, writing blog posts, social media, newsletters etc. Make that time count so that you start to bring more of your ideal clients your way. It doesn’t have to be sleasy, but you do need to keep being consistent with it. Do a little bit of marketing every single day, mix it up and try new things. Test what works and what doesn’t and keep plugging away. When you think you’ve done enough do double!
Leave a comment for me below about some of the marketing strategies you’ve tried so far and then pop your details in the form to get a copy of my marketing mind map. Here’s what one of my Coaching Rocks Bootcamp members said about it;
“It’s wicked! I didn’t realise there were so many ways to market a business.”

Great post Ruby. I absolutely agree. I often get retweeted on twitter and I like to return the favour if I can. I often can’t find a single thing to retweet from coaches (or other businesses). Yes, it’s great to share tips, quotes, nice sayings… but we definitely need to be sharing our business news too.
