It’s Tuesday Reviewsday!

I know I typically bring you information on self-help PLR opportunities, but there are lots of business coaches out there, too. (And a few even read this blog!) So, for you business coaches and consultants, here’s a great PLR resource for you.

But wait, life coaches! Even though you may be in the self-help business, and therefore looking for self-help PLR, you could still benefit from this PLR club. The reports you receive each month are a great learning resource for anyone doing business on the Internet, including life coaches. So it may be worth a look.

 Special Report Club Overview:

The Special Report Club is a monthly membership that includes a private label report with a variety of accompanying marketing materials. After revising the PLR report to fit their niche market, business coaches can quickly and easily market these reports to their clients who want to learn more about various Internet marketing topics. Even if your client has a brick and mortar business, they should be marketing on the Internet as well.

Monthly Membership Features:

- A 30-page report on an Internet marketing topic. This is the information product you would market to your clients.
- A 9-10 page “giveaway” report that is designed to be used as a teaser to purchase the larger, more detailed report.
- A professionally written and designed sales page to sell your report from.
- A prewritten and designed squeeze page to build a subscriber list from the giveaway report.
- 5 prewritten autoresponder emails to follow-up and sell to the people who request the free report.
- A ready-to-use solo email promotion designed to sell the 30-page report.
- 1 ecover for the 30-page report and another ecover for the 9-10 page freebie report. Membership includes .psd versions, so they can be edited.
- 5 blog posts about that particular month’s topic.
- 5 pre-written articles to inform your readers and promote your report.
- A list of affiliate programs to help earn extra income from your marketing efforts.

Perks:

- As a member, you can purchase content from previous months.
- Detailed guide showing the steps to starting an info-product business.
- A training center with other helpful marketing information, reports, videos, etc.
- 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Membership can be cancelled any time.

Opinions:

I’m really impressed with how well-written the marketing materials are. But I think the biggest benefit of the membership is that it really covers all the major nuts and bolts an info product seller needs to sell special reports about Internet marketing, from the actual product to the cover graphics. It’s a complete product-in-a-box. You just need to personalize it to fit your niche and brand.

The membership is suitable for those who market to other Internet marketers, business-to-business service providers who are looking for another revenue stream, or individuals interested in niche marketing that need more products to sell.

Right now, you can get an unbelievable discount when you sign up.

Use discount coupon “bestbang” to get your first month’s membership in both Special Report Club and All Marketing Content for only $5 each. That’s a total investment of $10 to get a head start on your info product business.

Whew! Now go claim all this PLR – and get the best bang for your buck!

I’ve given a lot of information on some great PLR providers of self-help and personal development content, but I know that not all coaches are life coaches. Many of us are business coaches and consultants, and therefore need vastly different content for our coaching businesses.

So I thought I would tell you about a superb provider of business-related PLR.

All Marketing Content is a membership that provides members with monthly customizable private label content. The content can be used on websites, in newsletters, in information products and in other promotional materials. The content is targeted to individuals who are in the business-to-business market. They may offer business-to-business services, offer marketing advice, or sell products for businesses.

Membership Features:

• 30 new private label articles each month on a variety of marketing-related topics. There is a focus on online marketing, but there are some offline marketing topics as well.
• 10 monthly product reviews/products for business-to-business products. A neat bonus is that members with their own products are able to submit their products for review.
• 10 “How to Sheets” each month. These sheets offer step-by-step instructions for completing different marketing tasks, using different software programs, etc.
• A 7-10 page report to be used as a give-away, as part of a product for sale, etc.
• Suggested affiliate programs to monetize content.
• 2 guides to using PLR content including “Creative Ideas for Using PLR Content” and search engine guide and video.
• Access to members-only forum for asking questions and sharing marketing tips.
• Membership is limited to 500 members to reduce competition.
• 30-day money-back guarantee.

All Marketing Content provides very useful marketing information that business coaches can publish as-is or edit as they see fit. Of course, you know that I don’t recommend using it as-is, but I’ll let you make the call.

The Good

Whether you use it on your blog/site, in your newsletter, or create an info product with it, having all this content available makes it easy to put together a publishing plan and to keep fresh content going to your clients and prospective customers. And this, of course, makes it easier for you to attract coaching clients and grow your client base.

The Bad

I have to say that the only issue I have with All Marketing Content is that the membership can include as many as 500 members. I personally prefer memberships that are no more than 100. But even with this many members, if you customize the content as recommended, you really shouldn’t have a problem.

You can check out the quality for yourself with a free marketing bundle right here.

Today, I’m going to tell you about a product that I own, and use, myself. It’s Jimmy D. Brown’s Small Reports Fortune. A step-by-step manual for creating small reports and selling them for profit. This course includes everything you could possibly need to get your first small report written and selling online.

Product Description 

The course comes as a 101-page manual in PDF format, 7 downloadable MP3 sessions, 4 exclusive bonuses in PDF format and a set of video tutorials.

For this price, you’re getting a course in market research, a course in copywriting, a course in web creation, and a course in marketing your product. It’s truly a comprehensive, step-by-step course.

Who’s It For

Small Reports Fortune is  for anyone who wants to make money with information products. It’s especially useful for those who want to create ebooks but don’t know how and are intimidated by creating a large infoproduct.

Life coaches can supplement their client coaching with income from information products. And this course teaches you how to easily and quickly create short reports, or ebooks.

How It Can Ramp Up Your Coaching and Your Revenue

The small reports that you create through this manual can be used in your coaching practice in a variety of ways. For instance, you can use the reports as a coaching tool in your coaching sessions, as a supplement to your coaching sessions, as an introduction to your coaching packages, or even as a stand-alone self-coaching package. You can sell reports individually, or package several reports together for a larger info product.

With a little brainstorming, you can come up with many other ways to use small reports in your coaching business.

The Good

I know many coaches would love to add info products to their coaching businesses, but they can’t seem to squeeze the task in among their client sessions. They mistakenly think they need several hours, if not days, of uninterrupted time to write an ebook, but Small Reports Fortune shows you how to create an ebook in your spare time. 

It breaks down the steps for creating an info product into easily manageable tasks.  It also includes examples so that you understand exactly what to do and how.  Not only are you shown how to write the reports, you are also given information on how to best design, price, and sell your small report.  Finally, you’re given tips on how to use and reuse your small reports to build even more income.

The Bad

Although this is a very comprehensive course on product creation, even for a newbie, I think it does fall short in one aspect. The only thing that isn’t covered in depth is how to get traffic once you’ve gotten the report written and ready to sell. If I know Jimmy, though, this is intentional. He likes to stay on topic and deliver only what the course is intended to cover. His method of teaching is geared to avoid overwhelm.

Good news, though. Jimmy does offer several other courses with training to get traffic, especially his Sales Army Secrets and LIST Profit System. And yes, the material in those courses are delivered in the same drip-feed method, so you can implement list-building tasks in a short timeframe.

My Opinion

This course not only made it easy for me to see the huge potential in writing small reports, but it gave me a system for quickly creating a quality product and a roadmap to follow to get it to market, even when I didn’t have much time to devote to writing.

I think most new coaches wait too long to produce an info product, mostly because we often don’t think of ourselves as experts when we first start out, but also because we think it’s a daunting process.

Isn’t it interesting how we life coaches struggle with the same issues, like overwhelm and procrastination, that we help our clients overcome? I guess we can think of Jimmy as our info product coach and Small Reports Fortune as a coaching tool.

However you want to look at it, check it out for yourself at Small Reports Fortune.

I joined Nicheology about six months ago, and I think it’s one of the best investments I’ve made.  And the reason isn’t because of the excellent PLR content you get each month. It’s because of the training resources that you have access to as a member. I was blown away when I first logged into the members area. Actually, I think it’s more accurate to say I was overwhelmed. Yes, there’s that much stuff in there!

Not only are there video tutorials on how to convert PLR content into information products that are highly valuable to your niche market, but there’s training on finding your niche, building a list and driving traffic to your site, Google Analytics, installing WordPress, setting up a shopping cart, and a heck of a lot more.

And, yes, the PLR content is first-rate. Each month, you get two PLR products (including sales letters!), three additional PLR reports (graphics included!), as well as six product profiles on the hottest niche markets.

But I have to share a little secret. There’s something that Nicheology does that no other PLR provider does (to my knowledge). They give you access to previous months’ PLR content. For free! No additional charge. You don’t have to pay extra for archived content. It’s right there in the members area! They just add new content each month to the stuff that’s already there.

Now, remember at the beginning of this article when I said I couldn’t wait to tell you about my favorite PLR provider? Well, the reason why I couldn’t wait until the next Tuesday Reviewsday is because next Tuesday, Nicheology is making some changes to their membership. They’re adding more benefits with the addition of monthly training calls and monthly Q&A sessions.

However, this also means a change in their membership fee. If you sign up after 3pm next Tuesday, there will be a $147 joining fee. Right now, there is no joining fee. You can sign-up for the regular low monthly subscription fee of $47.

So, go now and check out Nicheology. With a money-back guarantee, you can’t go wrong. And if you like it, you just saved $147! Sweet!

3. Is it Ethical For Life Coaches to Use PLR?

A while ago, I subscribed to the mailing list on PLR.me and received some sample articles. I thought it was pretty darn good stuff, so I decided to subscribe to the full membership to check out their self-help and personal development PLR for life coaches.

Since most of my readers are speakers and coaches and this private label rights provider caters to the coaching and speaking industry, I thought I would share my thoughts about the content you receive as a member.

What You Get

First, let’s take a look at what you get each month when you subscribe to PLR.me:

• 30 inspirational articles
• 30 personal reflections and affirmations
• 20 wallpapers with inspirational quotes (think motivational posters)
• 5 pdf downloads: checklists, handouts, reports, worksheets, or guides
• Graphics and images
• Monthly mastermind call
• Follow-up emails to ensure you’re getting the most from your investment
• Great technical support (I have first-hand experience, so I can vouch for this! A program on my computer didn’t play nice with the files, but the support team helped me work it out.)

The Good

I have to say that there were a couple of things that struck me right up front when I looked through this month’s content–great graphics and a wide variety of content, like checklists, motivational wallpapers, and worksheets. I often create my own worksheets from PLR content, but PLR.me does it for me. Sweet!

But what was most notable was the quality of the written content. I’ve bought my fair share of PLR, so I think I know good content when I see it. And this was it!

What makes it so good is that the content is real and based on the personal experiences and success of the founder. He’s a stress management coach too, so he knows his stuff. No more struggling to write content that speaks directly to your coaching clients and prospects. It’s done for you. 

The Bad

As a matter of fact, the only thing I could find wrong with the content was the fact that it could go straight on my site with no rewrites. You may be thinking that isn’t a drawback, but we all know it’s essential that we rewrite PLR content before using it. But I’m seriously tempted to use it without revisions.

What to Do with It

This is where the rubber meets the road, where you get your ROI. Well, there are many different ways to use your PLR.me content, like videos, teleseminars, podcasts, and information products. I’m not going to get into much detail here, because frankly, that’s all I write about, so you can check other posts for ideas. Or check this out for over 100 ways to use PLR!

The bottom line is that the value of PLR.me is incredible and the professionalism is unmatched. It’s truly one of the best PLR memberships out there for coaches. Give it a test run (you can join for just $19 the first month) and then let me know what you think.

P.S. – I’ve given you guidelines on choosing PLR before, but here’s another list from PLR.me that has more great suggestions of things to look for when selecting a PLR provider.

Last week, I wrote a post about how outsourcing can take your coaching practice to another level. In the post, I mentioned several options for outsourcing, one of them being Shelancers. So this week, I thought I would tell you a little more about Shelancers.

Shelancers is an online directory of professional female freelancers including graphic designers, bookkeepers, copywriters, virtual assistants, marketing specialists, website designers and many other professionals. This is a directory on a mission to help female freelancers push their businesses to the next level of success. Promotion and education go hand in hand at Shelancers. I particularly love the education aspect. You don’t usually find that in a freelance provider.

Business owners who choose Shelancers are selecting a directory that features freelancers who are benefiting from the professional information and resources created specifically for Shelancers’ members. Resources include monthly reports, audio recordings and an active online discussion board where members can pose questions and discuss best practices in their fields.

The Shelancers directory also offers users easy online navigation tailored specifically for the needs of business owners/hiring managers. Service providers are listed according to service categories (e.g., accounting, web design, copywriting, virtual assistants, marketing, etc.). Each listing provides freelancer contact information and available client feedback to help hiring managers/owners to readily secure references, quotes and samples of relevant work.

So if you’ve been thinking about outsourcing some of your design or admin tasks so that you can focus more on your life coaching, check out Shelancers right now. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you get for a small monthly membership.

And today we’re going to look at a PLR provider that I personally use.

All Private Label Content is a PLR provider that delivers monthly customized private label content memberships on several different topics, such as finance, health, marketing, and mom-related. Since I coach clients on wellness issues, I have subscribed to the health content membership, which is targeted to individuals seeking healthier lifestyles or support to maintain their existing healthy life choices.

Although I will focus on the health membership, keep in mind that all the features discussed below apply to the other membership topics as well.

Each month you receive:

• 30 new private label articles each month on a variety of health topics.
• 10 monthly product reviews/profiles for health products.
• 10 healthy recipes each month.
• A 7-10 page report to be used as a give away, as part of a product for sale, etc.
• Suggested affiliate programs to monetize content.
• 2 guides to using PLR content including “Creative Ideas for Using PLR Content” and search engine guide and video. 
• Access to members-only forum where you can ask questions and share advice about using private label content.

I know you are concerned about how many others are receiving the same content, but memberships are limited to 500. And you always have a 30-day money back guarantee and can cancel the membership at any time.

All Health Content contains a healthy dose of well-written and researched monthly content that can be used on your Web site, in your newsletter, in information products, and in other promotional materials. The type of content is varied (articles, product profiles, a report), so it’s easy to provide your clients and prospects with a lot of diverse information. It also provides a variety of ways to generate traffic and leads for your business.

Members are also able to make suggestions on content topics, and, if they happen to sell their own health product, they can submit that product for one of the monthly reviews that are included in the content.

The only drawback I found with the content is that it is article-driven, so if you wanted to create an information product out of it, there is a little work involved stitching the articles cohesively together. Since I’m lazy and prefer more plug-and-play content, I found another provider that specializes in longer content geared more for information products, and used my All Private Label Content strictly as articles on my Web site. Problem solved!

So check out All Private Label Content’s membership options.

Yesterday,we talked about why it is important to stay in touch with your clients and protential customers and how you should begin establishing a list of these contacts to email on a regular basis. If you’re not familiar with email marketing, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed by the concept and process.

I think we’ve all heard it said many times that the money is in the list. And, I’ve bought several products in the past that promised to teach me everything I needed to know to have a successful list, a few of them were even specifically geared to coaching. But none of them seemed to be made for the beginner. I kept finding myself looking for supplemental material to fill in the blanks.

Good news! I know of a great system that will walk you through setting up your email list and show you how to stay in touch with your clients consistently. It’s Jimmy D. Brown’s List PROFIT System.

Jimmy is known in the marketing world for a few things, but he is best known for his ability to break complex tasks down into systems that work. Well, this course definitely showcases his ability to break down a process and teach it in a step-by-step system. It’s laid out in simple terms that even “newbies” can understand, but is packed with information that will boost the marketing efforts for intermediate and seasoned coaches, too.

Here’s the List PROFIT System in a nutshell:

        P – PROMOTE your list.
        R – REWARD the optin.
        O – OFFER a proposal.
        F – FIXATE attention.
        I – INITIATE a response.
        T – THWART the filters.

Again, each of these key areas are all but spoon-fed to you, so you don’t miss a thing. And did I mention that you get bonuses, too? One of them is the opportunity to personally ask Jimmy any question at all about list building within one year of buying the course.

Are there any negatives? Well, even though he takes you through everything very thoroughly, the report isn’t written specifically to coaches. So you’re going to have to brainstorm on how to apply the principles to your own business. Sorry, but you’ll have to do a little thinking.

Other than that, this is a great system to get you started communicating with your clients and building your list of prospects.
