Life Coach Marketing & Personal Branding with Web 2.0 style!

I love coaches. They are the single biggest reason I am as successful as I am today. Funny though, over the years I had given my personal coaches a lot of advice on marketing, but few acted on it. Were these coaches lazy? Not at all! They just wanted to coach! Imagine that, a life coach who just wants to spend 8 hours a day life coaching and not doing marketing labor! So I finally figured that not everyone loves marketing.... heck, even I don't really like all the labor part, I just love the creative brainstorming and strategizing, so I really should have seen it sooner... I built the ultimate SEO/SEM (search engine optimization / search engine marketing) team to execute my plans on a massive action scale. And finally today it's ready to launch! So if you know any life coaches, business success coaches, speakers or consultants who just would love to spend 100% of their work hours doing what they love and leave the web 2.0 marketing work to someone who loves to do that... well, I'm that guy. My SEO team is responsible for 20 million hits a month on it's current main project. As much traffic (qualified, quality traffic) to your site as you want can be yours. We will attract your most ideal client. Just imagine your perfect customer and let's put that into words, and I'll draft up a plan to attract leads exactly like that.

Life Coaches Get Free Leads: Advertising Co-op at BigLife.ws

January 31, 2008

Coaching Resource Review

The "Life Coaches Marketing Maven", Victory Darwin, has created yet another leading edge web 2.0 social network. This one is called www.BIGLIFE.ws, a "Lifestyles Upgrading and Self Improvement" destination site. While it may look like good educational content and entertaining blogs to the average passerby seeking personal development insights, a quick peek behind the curtain reveals the true workings of the machine.

It is actually a strategically engineered social network and advertising co-op for life coaches, business coaches, personal coaches, wealth coaches, success coaches, law of attraction coaches and seminar speakers. Coaches pool their funds to buy large volumes of advertising at bulk prices and split the cost so each member only pays a few dollars.

In fact, members don't even pay for leads, those are free, members only pay when they get clients. They pay a small percentage of the sale (a donation to the site done on the honor system) and that money goes back into the advertising budget to create a perpetual cycle lead generation machine.

Several coaches who declined to be named said that BigLife.ws is a long awaited and welcome resource for struggling life coaches in need of marketing help since the uber successful coaches directory, Coaching 24/7 ( www.247coaching.com ) proved to be a poor investment, providing few quality leads to the life coaches who paid several hundred dollars for a directory listing.

"BigLife.ws is what we've needed all along", said Anne, a part time life coach, "they don't just teach marketing, they actually do it for you and just get you the leads. I never wanted to be a marketer, just a coach, now I can be."

BigLife.ws founder, Victory Darwin said he created the site as his legacy project. "It's no big deal really, I just have always wanted to change the world, and now I'm doing it. Actually it's the life coaches who do all the work, I just provide them with free leads, and take all the credit. Seriously though, my own personal coach, Eric P. Landry is the reason I'm successful today, and I just wanted to give something back to this valuable profession.

BigLife.ws is in beta currently and accepting limited membership. "February is our prelaunch. There is free membership for coaches I like. They've got to be the right fit for the site. Our ad budget to kick off March 1 is over $10,000. This is going to be a big deal."

To Darwin's surprise, the site has so far attracted over 150 coaches, the majority not being beginners and part timers. "Surprisingly most coaches are well established, successful life coaches and business coaches. Some have best selling books, industry recognized branded programs, or been in the biz for 20+ years. Apparently even they have been struggling with lead generation."

To register for free during February, a personal invitation is required, though this reporter expects any coach who an impressive profile who manages to reach Darwin would be greeted with open arms.

********************

FYI from Victory's partner Brent... If you fill out your profile 100% completely, with a good pic, and do a little ass kissing (disgusting I know) you have a 90% chance. In the profile where it says "tell us how you found out about us", mention the website URL that lead you to this article AND "blogrush" if you clicked through that.

Brilliant Viral Commercial Pay$ You! ...how to hijack Dell's multi-million $ campaign!


I should probably feel bad for doing this, because Dell spent millions on this ad, but then again, I bought 7 Dell laptops last year for my employees and all the batteries went dead about a week after the warranty expired.

Check out this Dell commercial where your choice of Bert Reynolds, Chuck Liddell, Brooke Burke, Vivica Fox, Ice T, Estelle Harris (George's mom from Seinfeld) will send a video email to your friends, to convince them to contribute to your Dell computer fund for Christmas, and actually get them to send you some money by Paypal! Yep The Iceman himself will hit-up your pals for money!

Now, what was my first thought that emerged from my deviant marketing mind?
>>>>>>How can I knock off this multi-million dollar production and use it for myself?

So I started reverse engineering it, and soon I will have completed my report to tell you all the reasons this campaign works so well, and how we can hijack it for our own use.

Did you notice the script that downloads your contacts from your address book? Well that is a key part of making this viral. I just had my Indian programmer Badmandu knock off a script which does exactly this, but it doesn't just do Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail like the Dell script, it also does 20 more email services plus social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Hi5...

Anyway... for the next 77 marketing deviants who want to this report you can get it, just follow the link, and contribute $7 to "my new Dell fund" and I will email you the report shortly after.

http://www.yoursishere.com/?mid=24757353

As always, I like to reward action takers (or more to the point, I like to punish lamers who wait for everyone else to go first, just so they know it's a good deal), so this will be promptly cut off after the first 77.

FILL IN YOUR DETAILS IN THE CONTACT FORM IN THE RIGHT COLUMN - I WILL EMAIL YOU FREE INFO AS SOON AS AVAILABLE

Don't send me any whiny emails if you are #78.

Secret & PROOF to Hit Viral Video!


This is the best info I have come across yet in my quest to know what really makes a video go viral. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know I was fortunate enough to track down the REAL secret behind the mega-million dollar success, "The Secret", video's grassroots viral marketing plan (and it's not what anyone expected!). I've since pulled that article because the guy requested it be kept under wraps until he launched his book and talk-show circuit to spill the beans publicly.

Anyway, this article is solid. If you are serious about creating a viral video campaign, here you go...

Excerpt: Over the past year, I have run clandestine marketing campaigns meant to ensure that promotional videos become truly viral, as these examples have become in the extreme. In this post, I will share some of the techniques I use to do my job: to get at least 100,000 people to watch my clients’ “viral” videos.

We took six videos and achieved:
  • 6 million views on YouTube
  • ~30,000 ratings
  • ~10,000 favorites
  • ~10,000 comments
  • 200+ blog posts linking back to the videos
  • All six videos made it into the top 5 Most Viewed of the Day, and the two that went truly viral (1.5 million views each) were #1 and #2 Most Viewed of the Week.

The following principles were the secrets to our success.

$1,000 Cyborg Brainstorm For $297 With Deviant Marketing Genius

Actual thermal X-ray photo of my cyborg brain,

the very same one I will use to brainstorm ideas for your business.

$297 gets you 30minutes

$597 gets you 60minutes

My standard consulting rate is $1,000/30 minutes. Does that sound steep? Why don't you ask one of my recent clients who paid $2,000 for his hour long business builder brainstorm session...

You can contact him yourself using the form at www.LinkedinBuilder.org His business generates over $10,000/month using an 85% automated system. Do you think he was happy to pay me $2,000 for the hour?

One session per customer, one time only, first 17 buyers only, no exceptions!

If you wish to extend the call, regular rate applies.

WHY AM I DOING THIS?

Occasionally I like some fresh client blood to revive my cyborg brain circuits (I am half human yaknow), so a little promo like this gets the juices flowing and some great new testimonials, and some incredible friendships from the successful entrepreneurs I help create!


TrafficAssistants.com scam renamed bWiredIn.com (same same sh*t, different pile)

PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR THE UPDATED POST ABOUT

CRAPPY TRAFFICASSISTANTS.COM AND BWIREDIN.COM OUTSOURCED LABOR SERVICE

THAT HAS SCREWED OVER STARTUP WEBPRENEURS WITH THEIR BIG CLAIMS AND BULLSHIT PHONEY SERVICE AND GENERAL NON-PERFORMANCE

(damn impressive website they've got though! makes me want to buy in everytime I go there! d'oh!)


TrafficAssistants.com crap SEO service renamed bWiredIn.com (Richard East's same sh*t, different pile!)



The OFFICIALLY UNAUTHORIZED group was created by Sheriff Killgore, a scam hunting enthusiast and former Sheriff (until he was charged with breaking someone's knees when they tried to escape custody).

He is now starting an i4n6 (internet forensics consulting business) and I am consulting for him on his marketing strategy. He will be heading up this SCAMS group for fun. He says he will even be visiting some of these scammers in person while on his other business trips, and report back to this site and blog about it. (maybe even VIDEOS I hope!)

KILLGORE SAYS
ALL YOU VICTIMS GOT TO COME OUT OF THE CLOSET
AND QUIT BEING WEENIES.


It's because you are all too embarrassed to talk that these scum go on to scam the next innocent person.


If you have been ripped off by any internet service providers,

especially Richard East and TrafficAssistants.com and Bwiredin.com,

please go post about it in this new SCAMS group.


Just added some nice "un-TESTIMONIALS" for Richard East's OMS3 company that owns the Traffic Assistants company and also bwiredin.com

here's a sample...

Thank you very much for all you’ve posted

I’ve wasted a lot of money on Richard’s services

There’s something about Richard and Susan that’s so plausible, so seemingly open and honest. Nice, down to earth people who seem to know what they’re doing.

And then the dreaded TA program, fortunately only the part time version. I experienced all the same problems and pathetic service that you referred to.

I had an uneasy feeling about all this, yet when I searched Google I couldn’t find anything to confirm my suspicions.

Only today did I find your Warrior thread.

Sorry to admit it, but I got sucked in once again to Richard’s latest scheme – BwiredIn. They made a heap of videos which made perfect sense, yet Tommy who was a driving force suddenly disappeared just like Harris Fellman did. Same crummy service and not what it was claimed to be.

So I’m just another sucker who has lost thousands of dollars and many hundreds of hours to add to your list.


... so if you've been scammed, SPEAK UP!

people are trying to research these companies before buying, but if you are not warning them, these scumbags just keep raking in the dough at our expense!

Open Social: take action now!

(from the Network Creator's Blog)

We love today's OpenSocial announcement.

For those of you who don't eat, breathe, and sleep web standards, OpenSocial is a new open web API being spearheaded by Google and joined by a wide range of partners including us, Google's own Orkut, LinkedIn, Hi5, Friendster, Salesforce.com, Oracle, iLike, Flixster, RockYou, and Slide.

Marc has a great post explaining OpenSocial generally. Here's an excerpt:

In a nutshell, OpenSocial is an open web API that can be supported by two kinds of developers:

"Containers" -- social networking systems like Ning, Orkut, LinkedIn, Hi5, and Friendster, and...

"Apps" -- applications that want to be embedded within containers -- for example, the kinds of applications built by iLike, Flixster, Rockyou, and Slide.

We're supporting OpenSocial whole hog and will make it available to all 113,000 social networks on Ning either later this year or early next. Specifically, we'll roll this out as:

  • An outstanding Container. OpenSocial apps will be able to run easily and reliably inside social networks across the Ning Platform. You'll be able to quickly and easily add OpenSocial apps to your social networks and your members will also be able to quickly and easily add OpenSocial apps to their member profile pages on your network.
  • An App publisher. As you know, you can already add one-click integration with Facebook automatically on your social network - specifically for video, photo, and music players - using the Facebook proprietary platform approach. We will automatically produce the option on your social network on Ning to have your network be an "app" embeddable on other social networks or "containers" participating in this standard.
  • Ultimately, an outstanding environment within which you can build new OpenSocial apps. (More on that later.)

$8,000 YAHOO Banner Ad for $1,000 Donation! cRaZy but True!


HOW YOU CAN DONATE $1,000 AND GET $8,000 OF ADVERTISING!

I just figured out a new way to get HUGE publicity and TRAFFIC from a small donation.

It works like this. I've created bots which are scouring the net and compiling lists of all the charitable causes which are linked to contests and ones that give the donors recognition, often on TV.
My bots are constantly updating this list.

I automatically feed this data in to a spreadsheet and crunch the numbers to tell you exactly how much advertising/exposure your dollar buys for each specific charitable donation.

Then, you can cherry pick to get the ones that give you the best and most appropriate kind of exposure for your business type, for the lowest dollar amount.

Here's an example. You will easily see why this data is so valuable.

There is a charity that sponsors book buying initiatives for 3rd world countries.
There is a prize package for biggest donor in each of several classes**
Publicity portion of prize is exposure on YAHOO NEWS for 1 month.
Advertising value of this prize is about $8,000usd

**in most popular class, you would have to donate about $20,000 to win the prize so this is not cost effective, but in one of the classes, the competition is less and you could donate about $1,000 to win.
This means you are buying $8k in advertising value for $1k. (not to mention it's tax deductible and your money goes to a good cause!)

That's 8x value for your advertising dollar! Where else can you get that kind of leverage?
If someone offered you a banner ad on Yahoo News worth $8,000 for just $1,000 would you jump on that deal?

If you are interested in this, leave a detailed comment in the contact form in the right column.

Victory Darwin


When this is available as a service package, more details will be here. In meantime, contact me directly.

p.s. Accepting offers for partnership to turn this into a big business. I don't have time to pursue it, but I've already got everything in place, just need someone to manage it who THINKS BIG!


Business 2.0 mag - RESURRECTION???

Business 2.0 Magazine last issue is this month. Want to create a PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES with me?

The old Success mag back in early 90's (pre MLM crap days) made it fun to go to the mailbox, hoping my monthly issue would be there. Especially the annual GREAT COMEBACKS and RENEGADES issues.

For most readers of Business 2.0, it was their single favorite mag by far (as you can see in all the stories below)

The B2 editor tried to buy it back from Time. Time preferred it dead. A Techcrunch merger was considered. No doubt many people in Silicon Valley right now are brainstorming ways to make something of this.

I love to get away from the computer with a paper magazine. I'm not sure it would have the success as just a blog. But is there a web 2.0 solution?

How about a multi-media publication, or a TV show like on Joost.

Let's brainstorm! Here's some references.

please COMMENT below!
V.

Victory Darwin? is that your REAL name???

You can imagine how often I hear that. Or even worse, people just assume I don't know how to spell, and correct it for me... "Victor". Well, it really is Victory, or if you prefer, just V for short, not Vic ! So, why'd my parents name me Victory? Well, actually they didn't.

My Grandfather did, but he was the only one who used it. My father named me after the world champion motocross racer of his day, since he was a dirtbike champ himself, and I guess hoped I would be one day too. The one motocross race I entered was on a old 500cc Sonic, while I was just 11yo and weighed about 85 pounds. That would be like strapping a rollerblades and a jetpack on your kid, then sending him down a gravel road. Needless to say, I crashed enormously and more than one, and came in dead last. For my 16th birthday my dad paid for half of an '82 GPz 750, the Eddie Lawson replica.

That was good for a few years of terrorizing the city, until one day the cops had enough and laid out a spike belt for me. In short, bikes are very agile, and 1992 Mustang Interceptors are apparently not.

The pursuing cop drove the car straight through a concrete light pole and blew it up, Hollywood style explosion and a fire that burned it to a skeletal remains with smoking rubber (he lived). They had only just bought the car 2 days previous, so they had a lot of explaining to do in the media. The court ordered them to return my bike, but they had the last laugh. I went to pick it up, and it had been disassembled and thrown into a big box. They said they were searching it for drugs.

oh yeah... my name... so I finally got to meet my Grandfather, in Detroit, just before he died, and he told me some old war stories of fighting in the Polish Underground (Polish Secret State),

and escaping to America when his wife became pregnant. My dad was born in the USA shortly after, with the last name Darwin, which my Grandfather had just pulled from the phonebook, assuming it was a common American name. My father was an active pacifist, and when he was drafted for the Vietnam war, he took his pregnant wife across the border to Canada, along with about a hundred others who he taught his border jumping plan to.

So then, I was born in Canada, and my grandfather suggested the name Victory. My dad vetoed it based on the war reference but from my perspective, both their lives were totally parallel where it really counted. They both took action to protect their families, both escaping a country at war with their pregnant wives.

35 years later I became a student of Trump Universities "entrepreneurship mastery program". I had great expectations and so was greatly disappointed when it turned out to be a very poor quality program. It came to a head when during the Q&A on the "branding" chapter the Dean suggested that when you start a business you have to get your logo right the first time because you don't want to change it later and weaken your brand. He said you should pay $3,000 to get a quality logo made.

I told him that I had bootstrapped my way to $2million+ in 3 different businesses, and the advice I would give a startup entrepreneur is to spend his money marketing to test his core concept first. You can get logos for $99 on the web, that will do just fine.

I realized in that moment that the big difference between the meaning of TRUMP and VICTORY. Trump means you just crush the competition because you always have the better hand or more money. Victory means you are the underdog. You may be broke, and you may be in for a hell of a struggle, but you will persevere and learn what you need to learn, and find a way to triumph in the end.

I thought I could create a better entrepreneurship program than Trump's and I'd teach how to start a business from nothing, using my bootstrapping methods. The number one thing I learned from Trump about branding is your name brand should be your name, so I called it University Of Victory. And the number two thing I learned was that your reputation and your name was gold, and that's why Trump's logo was made of gold... and now so was mine!

I told my dad about my new connection with the word victory, and I made it my legal middle name. He said it also worked well for him, because he hadn't yet got me a birthday present, and he happened to have a leather jacket in my size still on the rack. He owned the most popular motorcycle shop in town and was the dealer for the made in USA, Victory motorcycles.

So that's the story of my name. What's happened since? University Of Victory has since become World Vision Entrepreneur. It's a similar concept but even more in line with my original purpose. It's taken off on it's own without any marketing effort.


Amazing how that works when you get yourself in line with the universe, eh! ~V

p.s.
Lately I've been getting a lot of contact forms mentioning they'd like to meet me if possible. Yes it is. Most clients fly up and take their vacation here. Many people say Victoria is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. That's why I moved here! For me it's like the Monaco of Canada. The ships aren't as big, but we do have cool harbor planes that take off from and land on the water, flying from downtown Vancouver to downtown Victoria, every half hour in the summer. My consulting rates are $1,000/30 minutes (one client created a $10,000/mo income from just a 1 hour session!), but if you just want to meet for coffee and a casual 15 minute chat, I'm happy to do that too. ~V

~INSTANT Expert / Authority status could triple your income

How much more could you earn if you were perceived as an EXPERT / AUTHORITY?

If you are great but unknown in your industry, and you make $5,000/mo now, how much do you think you could earn if you were seen as an expert or authority?

I have some solid second hand info about a couple experts from "The Secret". One was earning about $2,000 per speaking engagement before, and that multiplied 10x to $20,000 after! The other was earning about $100-$150/hour before and jumped to $1,000/hour after with a waiting list, and ultimately hiring junior consultants to do the work.

What would it take to create that image/perception of you?

1) marketing/self promotion/branding?
2) more specialized training?
3) certification?
4) client testimonials?
5) endorsement from recognized expert?
6) ________ (enter your idea)

I would like to hear some debate on this.

I may have a unique opportunity coming up, which could achieve that 5-10x multiple. It would only be for about 2 or 3 people and it would have to be a perfect fit, or it just won't work.

...but beyond that, if I can get a good quantity of answers to my questions above, I may be able to re-create a similar effect, and it would be using this here Ning network that you are already a part of. (With the permission and help of the network creator of course).

I'm conceiving a low costs product, or fully comprehensive service to create your personal brand and get you some big web exposure (and offline too).

Anyone interested?

$20,000 profit from my Linkedin profile - FREE OFFER from my associate!

Brent is a social networking automation genius.

Read his profile then take him up on his FREE offer to build your Linkedin network for you.

You could spend the next year to do it yourself, but if you had it NOW, you could be profiting from it now!

I made $20,000 in consulting fees from new clients that found me on Linkedin!

By now you realize that posting a profile on Linkedin and waiting for results is like dropping seeds on the ground and hoping in vain for a garden.

First you need to develop a big network (like 5 million +) then you need to WORK IT!

But that all takes time. A lot of time!

Well, I didn't invest a minute of my own time to get those $20k clients! Brent planted all the seeds for me, watered them, and then harvested the crop.

This is the most time and cost efficient lead generation and self promotion marketing that I have ever experienced!

Great Job Brent!
I'll be sending people your way!

It's not who YOU know, it's WHO KNOWS YOU!

IT'S NOT WHO YOU KNOW, IT'S WHO KNOWS YOU!

The connection's I've made in the last month will net me $5-10 million over the next couple years.


I'm heading up the web marketing for a sequel to the movie THE SECRET. I've connected with hundreds of the BIGGEST personal coaches, motivational speakers, famous entrepreneurs and authors. I've connected with the guy who did the behind the scenes marketing and strategy for the most successful promotion in the history of the web.

THAT'S REAL NETWORKING! Not MLM games, not just self promotion, not just attending conferences, not forum posting, not advertising.

And I'll tell YOU how I did it... in fact, even better, I'll show you how I did it, because it's not enough just to tell it.

...wait. Let's take it one more step! I will work with you, and we'll do it together for YOU. Then it will get done right, guaranteed, and without unnecessary pain and struggle. I think most of you have paid more than your share of your True entrepreneur dues.

Here's the deal. This offer is for 7 people {2 spots remaining now}. This is the only time I will make this offer and include personal coaching from me. I have plans to release a mass market version with some junior consultants after this, for a lower price (just $2,995)



SOLD OUT -- see all current offerings here.


YOU are a brilliant entrepreneur looking for a team to execute your big project, or a master consultant looking for some big clients, or a skilled success coach who wants to create some superstars. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY, but you don't have the name recognition or the connections to make it happen.

I can make that all happen for you! And happen fast! And it can be almost effortless! (there will be effort, but the fun rewarding kind, not the painful struggle kind!) Your investment: just $777 up front.

Then when you have made your first $10,000 you pay me $7,000.

Why is this such a great deal?
#1 Because you will love me and want to give back to me generously!
#2 Because it doesn't cost you $7,777 up front
#3 Because right now your skills may earn you $5,000/mo, but once you are recognized as an expert or authority, those same skills could earn you $50,000/mo.

DETAILS:
This is a 12 week process.
You must already be earning an income in your chosen business.
This is not for MLM, affiliates, distributors etc.
This is for people who have carved out their own unique business niche (or at least in the general business and wanting to further define their niche, too specialize more).
You must have the character for the fame to stick to. If I dress you up like the King, you've got to be able to BE the King.

MORE GOOD NEWS... I only bet on sure things when it comes to my consulting because I don't want to look like a shmuck. My reputation is everything. This means that if I do take you on, I'm believing 100% that we will succeed. It also means that 95% of applicants will be turned down.

If you are ready to be a star, just fill out the orange & blue contact form in the right column and mention this offer in the comments section. The more detail you give me, the sooner you'll hear back.

p.s. having amazing results with first clients, will profile them as case studies soon!

Also just completed a new marketing service to turn any coach or consultant into an INSTANT AUTHORITY / EXPERT. I love my work, and I do go out for a stroll around the beautiful downtown daily, so the routine isn't bad, but more vacation time would be good, and with baby #2 on the way I'm going to try to cut 70 hours down to 30. (oh, and still keep my $1M goal for 2007)

That's why I started my NING group... to discuss "The 4 Hour Workweek", by Timothy Ferriss.

Any ideas how to cut a 60 hour workweek (Internet business) down to 30?

I just read Tim Ferriss' book "The 4-Hour Workweek - Experiments in Lifestyle Design"

It talks about the 80/20 rule (80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts&actions), taking mini-retirement vacations, how to NOT defer your LIFE 'till your old --how to live the millionaire lifestyle now, even on average wages.


I'm trying to find ways of using automated business and marketing techniques, and web 3.0 organizational tools, to get more done in less time.…
