Offering a coaching program or eclass – especially high-ticket coaching and classes – is an easy way to make $10,000 or more each month. That’s because you only need to find 10 $1000 clients, which is much easier than trying to sell 1000 $10 ebooks!

Nonetheless, your clients aren’t going to magically appear at your virtual doorstep. And that means you need to actively market your offer to get it in front of your prospects.

Here are five surefire ways to do exactly that…

1. Offer a Free Consultation. Just as you offer free ebooks, ecourses or other freebies to get people on your mailing list, you can lure prospects to your coaching program using a free consultation. Not only do you build a list of “warm” (or even hot) prospects this way, you also give them a chance to sample your coaching (which increases response). Best of all, you can close the sale on the phone, which is much more powerful then sending an email.

2. Ask for Referrals From Existing Clients. You should always ask your existing satisfied customers to refer their friends, family members and colleagues to you. Some will, even without an incentive. But you can increase the number who do so simply by offering an incentive, such as discounts, free coaching sessions or even cash.

Example:

• You can offer a 10% discount for every paying client an existing customer sends your way. An active client may even get free sessions doing this!

One of the biggest opportunities for consistent and automated sales that many internet marketers overlook completely is creating an “evergreen” asset with their autoresponder.

The idea is simple: Preload an entire year’s worth of mailings (content + offers) into an autoresponder list and then work towards building your subscriber base.

What happens?

* You promote the list and subscribers begin to join.
* Week after week they receive installments with useful content and promotional offers.
* Subscribers become customers as they order offers they find relevant.
* You send out “special” broadcast mailings for time-sensitive offers to boost income.
* Multiple streams of income are produced from a variety of offers that you funnel into the mailings.
* You focus promotion effort into building this one list as it is the hub of your offers.

Think about this:

What could be easier than doing nothing but promote this evergreen asset?

What if that was ALL you had to do in order to make money?

Seriously.  You could do NOTHING else but setup this list and focus your entire efforts onto getting people to join the list.

The mailings will take care of the rest.

No more products to create!
No more blogs to maintain!
No more webpages to manage!
No more new things to try!

Setup a weekly mailing and you’ve got 52 opportunities to sell something to your list of subscribers.
