Make a Six-Figure Income Working from Home as a Freelance Personal, Life, Career, or Business Coach This Year.
America has gone "coaching crazy." Everyone wants to hire a coach.
Coaches can make great money - up to $240,000 a year or more. Best of all, the barriers to entry are low.
Do you have a telephone and a PC? Then you can start making money as a coach within the next 90 days - GUARANTEED or your money back.
Dear Coach (or Soon-to-be Coach):
America has gone "coach crazy."
When I was a lad starting my business career in the late 1970s, the only "coaches" we knew were guys like Billy Martin of the Yankees.
Today, though, everybody and his brother are hiring coaches.
These personal, life, relationship, business, or career coaches help their clients cope with the challenges and complexities of life and work in the 21st century.
For around a $1,000 a month, you can hire a coach to advise you on how to accomplish almost any conceivable goal - from starting a small business to getting a promotion - even finding a new boyfriend or girlfriend.
No doubt about it ... the opportunities to make money as a professional coach have never been greater:
- There are an estimated 40,000 coaches -- practicing in 70 countries.
- Coaching is a $1 billion a year industry ... growing at almost 25% a year.
- There are over 100 coaching schools worldwide -- and that number is growing rapidly.
Yet there's a problem.
Despite the fact that coaches can charge hourly rates from $75 to $500 an hour, only 10% of coaches earn over $100,000 a year.
How can that be?
It's simple....
These coaches may give good advice to their clients. They may know their stuff.
But many are absolutely terrible at managing their coaching business - and marketing and promoting their coaching services.
Now you can avoid the trap these coaches have fallen into ... and build a six-figure coaching practice in no time flat.

Bob Bly is a full-time freelance copywriter specializing in direct marketing. He earns more than $600,000 a year from his writing, speaking, and consulting, and became a self-made multi-millionaire while still in his 30s. He also earns an extra $200,000 a year, working only a few hours a month, with his spare-time Internet marketing business ... and now he wants to show you how to duplicate his "Internet Marketing Retirement Plan" within the next 18 to 24 months!
A copywriter for more than a quarter of a century, Bob has written promotions for over 100 clients including Phillips, Agora, KCI, 21st Century, Weiss Research, EBI Medical Systems, Sony, IBM, AT&T, Grumman, Crain Communications, McGraw-Hill, Intuit, and AlliedSignal.
Bob is the author of 70 books including The Copywriter's Handbook (Henry Holt) and Business-to-Business Direct Marketing (NTC Business Books). He has published more than 100 articles in such publications as Successful Meetings, Direct, Business Marketing, Writer's Digest, and Amtrak Express.
Bob's writing awards include a Gold Echo from the Direct Marketing Association, an IMMY from the Information Industry Association, two Southstar Awards, an American Corporate Identity Award of Excellence, and the Standard of Excellence award from the Web Marketing Association. He has also taught marketing at New York University.
Mr. Bly has appeared as a guest on dozens of TV and radio shows including The Advertising Show, Bernard Meltzer, CNBC, and CBS Hard Copy. He has been featured in major media ranging from the LA Times and Nation's Business to the New York Post and the National Enquirer. He was a featured speaker at the 2006 annual conference of the National Speakers Association.
After years of writing winning online copy that made his clients rich, Bob decided recently to launch his own Internet marketing business. In creating the "Internet Marketing Retirement Plan" in collaboration with Fred Gleeck, Bob took his online business from zero products - and zero income - to over $4,000 a week in net revenues. He did it in less than 6 months, and now is on target to make over $220,000 in annual online sales working just 20 minutes a week!
Known as the "King of Content," Fred Gleeck is widely recognized as a highly ethical, no-hype marketer of information products. Many consider Fred to be one of the best (if not the best) teacher of "how to make money selling information products online."
Fred has created more than 300 audio learning programs, e-books, software packages, and other information products, all of which are marketed online. He is the author of 15 books including Selling Products from the Platform and Marketing and Promoting Seminars and Workshops.
With more than 20 years experience as a speaker and seminar promoter, Fred has spoken at dozens of seminars and boot camps - both his own as well as other people's events - to thousands of attendees. He regularly presents at both the Learning Annex and the National Speakers Association.
While there are many teachers of "Make Money on the Internet," Fred has developed a unique, low-cost, low-risk approach that today generates for him passive income approaching a million dollars a year, with no employees.
