Do you really need an internet marketing coach?

I just realized that I didn’t post anything on my blog since December… Yes, I’ve been busy with product launches but that’s not an excuse to forget about blogging, right? 🙂

The idea for this blog post was following me for over a month and today I’m finally putting it all together. But let me start from the very beginning of my internet marketing story, so you can have a better idea of where I’m coming from.

So like most people, I’ve been struggling for years before I started making money online… I had success with making money offering different services online but I always wanted to start an online business instead of exchanging time for money as it was limiting the online potential – I knew that that was only means to an end for me.

After getting tens if not hundreds of different courses, trying them out for a while only to move on to something else after a couple of days I started seeing a pattern with people that were successful online – all of them had an internet marketing coach.

I was attracted to the idea of having a coach but for some reason (actually a good one, like for most of us – money) I decided to figure things out on my own. Needless to say – it took me much longer to succeed (to a certain extent) and I was lucky enough to encounter people on my way that I was able to learn a ton from and apply their knowledge and expertise to what I was doing.

Last year, I became clear about my plans regarding my online income – I was going to turn it into my full time income and do nothing else but this. I knew that I needed a coach at that point and I finally started to gather the money for the investment to get one.

Picking the right coach isn’t easy – not only do you have to make sure not to pay someone who is a scam artist but you also have to find someone who you’ll actually enjoy speaking to and learning from. I had calls with 5 different coaches but unfortunately none of them was 100% compatible with me and my needs.

I decided to take a different approach – see who is successful when it comes to the upandcomers and than see who is coaching them. A pattern that I saw was that it wasn’t only one coach that was responsible for the success of different individuals – these successful individuals had a coach who created a Mastermind for the students, so they can interact and support each other as well!

When I finally decided who my coach is going to be, I was thrilled! I invested 4 figures and joined the mastermind and to be totally honest – I wasn’t sure how I was going to make that money back… but my coach made me $1700 in cash in the first 2 weeks, literally with one simple advice – do this instead of that type of thing!

Of course that was only one piece of advice and since than I was able not only to make more money but also meet new people, learn new things and be exposed to different opportunities that I would have missed if it wouldn’t be for my coach!

Bottom line – if you want to make money online and/or step your game up – get a coach! Yes, you can do it all alone and if your persistent, you’ll eventually get there but a coach can catapult you from where you are to where you want to be in no time.

The number one thing that you can invest in is in yourself and a coach will not only teach you new things and show you all the shortcuts but he/she will also push you, to make sure that you reach your maximum potential.

In the words of Anderson Silva (an MMA fighter) – “That’s it”! Now if you are serious about succeeding online, get a coach and accelerate your growth. 🙂
