Will You Add? - Blogs? I’'ve Heard of Them… So What?
The Operating Agreement sets forth the rights and obligations of the members. The Operating Agreement can require disputes to be resolved by arbitration, rather than with costly and stressful litigation. The following is a list of some of the most important elements to include in an Operating Agreement:Set Rules for Admitting New Members: The Operating Agreement can require the consent of all members, or allow a prospective member to become a member with the consent of a majority of the members or all of the members.

Coaches – listen up! Blogs are good for you. As we’ve previously written, blogs can be defined as a kind of self-sustaining site: you don’t need an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to host one (at least not directly); you don’t need a programmer to keep it up-to-date and looking good; and you also do not need more-than-average technical knowledge about computers, the internet or HTML. Most blogs are free of charge, with some of the more intricate and better designed ones charging relatively low annual membership fees. A vast range of interactive, useful and practical tools (from publishing to management tools) have also been designed by several programmers – and almost all of them are available for free and are very easy to download and/or implement.
Coaching, Marketing and Blogging
The most important benefit of using blogs is in marketing. As a coach, you’ll need to market your services efficiently in order to acquire a good base clientele – and from that move forward to other clients through a mix of networking and direct marketing. The best ways to market your services as a coach are: (a) using education-based marketing (for more information about this type of marketing, visit our ‘Professional Development Centre’ category) and; (b) obtaining exposure and recognition in the niche market. Blogging tackles both needs with a single act, and a very efficient one.
With a blog you are able to post articles, tips and any other valuable content you can offer. Such process elicits value to your coaching services, allowing your prospective clients to realise your potential as a coach and, furthermore, visualise themselves in a coaching relationship with you. You will be able to provide a much more personal communication interface to your prospective clients, making them comfortable about the decision of whether or not to engage in a coaching relationship with you. And the best part is that you are able to achieve this with very low costs (no print, design or other related costs – although we would recommend that you use other medias to market your services as a complement to your blog). You can create a blog and constantly post content without spending anything but your own time.

In the beginning, there were websites.Websites designed to tell the world that the site owner actually existed, and probably little more.Going back less than twenty years, to a time when the internet as we know it was nothing more than a seemingly insane dream, websites were most often created with very little thought given as to what they were actually supposed to do.And, you know what?That is still how the vast majority of sites are created!Most websites suck - sorry to say that, but it is true, and I am willing to bet that, if you have your own site, that y

Here are my answers -- sometimes - never - maybe - it all depends. You may think that's an indecisive response, but few things have concrete, no diversion, answers, especially when it's your future and financial security.You will assume this is a great time to interview. It begins by thinking about FOOD and knowing it's FREE to you. But there might be a "dark" side too. Both the interviewer and the interviewee have risks in this career game. Since all of us are trying, wanting to win, it has some high stakes for all who get involved in the process.Interviewer say

So you’ve made the decision to buy your new web site and you’ve seen loads of them for sale really cheaply on an auction site. That’ll give you a good business start won’t it? Unless you are very careful – probably not. Here’s what you should be looking for.The Seller: Look at who is selling the site. Do they have good feedback. Have a look at what else they are selling and what they have recently sold. You will get an idea of how prolific and professional they are. You can also see if they continually sell the same kind of web site week in week out. Check out their cla

I’ve got this strange friend; her name is Maria. Maria’s always been a little weird but now things have gotten unworldly altogether. You see, Maria’s an artist; she’s into sculpture in particular, of which she specializes in the manipulation of Perspex with a blowtorch. Lately I haven’t seen too much of her as she’s hooked up the Internet. Actually not many people at all have seen her recently; she says she’s working on a big project.Now that she’s got the Internet she reckons she can focus a lot more on her work without distractions. She doesn’t ‘waste’ time doing grocery shopping anymo
On the exposure side of things, maintaining a blog with good content and reasonably up-to-date (that would require an average of 2 to 5 posts per week) will get you rating points in blog and web search engines – which in turn would increase the traffic to your site. The more people access it, and post comments – the more exposure your coaching brand will receive (with networking opportunities highly likely to increase). Blog tools also allow you to link with other blogs, and this process is one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to your blog, and also improve positioning in search engines.
Coaching, Learning and Blogging
So far we have discussed the primary benefit of blogging: marketing to your customers and improving networking and exposure. However, there is another benefit in blogging which is intrinsically related to your coaching career – learning and professional development.
First you can use RSS technologies to receive selected content in your own pre-defined strucuture (you can do that without blogs, but the more you are involved in the ‘blogosphere’ – the better content you are likely to discover).
Second, you may use your blog (and others) to open discussions about any particular coaching topics: if you have the right networking, you will benefit from the insights and knowledge of dozens, or perhaps hundreds of other professionals.
Third, in order to keep your blog up-to-date you will need to ‘force yourself’ to keep writing quality content. This exercise will improve both your writing skills and your general knowledge of coaching theories, approaches, relationships (and whatever else you may write about).
In such a flexible and responsive environment, the opportunities are endless…
