What Email Address Are You Using?
I remember when Gmail first came out. In addition to having a free, web-based email with a huge amount of storage, there was something else that marked a huge change in how email worked, at least for people around my age. I’m not sure if it was specifically because of Gmail, coincidentally timed, or in correlation of other factors, but something about Gmail coming out brought a level of seriousness to using email. A lot of my friends suddenly went from using a “screen name”, their online “handle”, a sort of nickname, to using an actual name. Specifically, [email protected] started sending emails as [email protected], and [email protected] became [email protected]. It wasn’t a complete transition, some of us always used our real name, and some of us never will, but there was a clear paradigm shift, at least in terms of email addresses.

A longer-than average blog with Rich, our Directory Listings Specialist
(who happens to have a BFA in fine art, and has won national awards as an advertising copywriter, so listen to him!).
I’m not even going to start with a clever lead in, I’m just going to say outright: you probably should have a photo of yourself on your website. A few of our customers have might have specific reasons, privacy-related or otherwise, in which they specifically don’t want their likeness, but if you can’t immediately think of a good reason not to, I suggest you get a good photo of yourself on your website.

Here are two suggestions for methods that you might use:

I look at a lot of websites and often see simple mistakes that would be easily avoided if the creator simply proofread the site before putting it online.

Your Friend, The Sidebar
Why I like sidebars:
As CoachingWebsites’ Directory Listing Specialist, I spend a lot of time looking at different websites, getting our customers’ contact information, and creating listings with that information. One of the things I notice all too often is that many people don’t make best use of the sidebar, perhaps because they don’t understand how important a sidebar can be for Search Engine Optimization.
Presenting three awesome tools for online scheduling, sending
e-newsletters, and conducting online coaching sessions:
Clickbook online Scheduling, MailChimp email marketing service, and
Ether online commerce service. If you are willing to take a little
effort and time to set up these services with your CoachingWebsites
website, they can put you on the cutting edge of developing a virtual,
online practice. Schedule, market, and sell your services online using
any or all of these tools!

Man And Machine: The Human Side Of Your Website
For some, ponying up a monthly fee for a CoachingWebsites account can seem like a leap. However, when you think about it, there is no reason your CoachingWebsites website shouldn’t pay for itself in terms of bringing new clients to your practice.
