Boost Coaching Business Visibility with a Blog

Lately, lots of coaches are asking me:

  • Should I start a blog?
  • How will it help me build my coaching business?
  • How can a blog be more effective at attracting ideal clients than my coaching website?

All good questions we’ll explore here. First…

What is a blog?

There are many kinds of blogs. Some people create hobby-type blogs to post their musings or recommendations. Many bloggers offer political commentary. And, blogging has emerged as a powerful way to establish visibility and credibility with business prospects.

Riding the Waves of Dynamic Change

The coaches I work with have big dreams. They are powerful people with awesome toolboxes and deep genius. It’s painful sometimes, but they’re letting go of outmoded mindsets and learning possibility thinking on the fly.

Do you struggle to find time to work ON your coaching business? This is what I hear from coaches every day:

“I work hard but not on what will bring the results I really want.”

“I start lots of things all the time but I’m not good at completing them.”

“I open my email and before I know it half the day is gone!”

“My schedule is so full there’s no time to develop my coaching business.”

“Every day I feel guilty about what I didn’t get done but should have.”
