You can’t serve everyone with your time. You just can’t. You don’t have enough time. By having a newsletter, you can reach people and they can be circulating it around the world and you’re serving more people. It’s almost free to send an electronic newsletter. If you use mailchimp.com, that’s mailchimp.com – Sarah, maybe you can put that in the chatroom? – then for the first 500 people, they’ll let you use it for free. Now as you start getting up, I recommend you start with professional card solutions and you can find that, I’ll put that in here; getpaidforwhoyouare.com/pcs. Getpaidforwhoyouare.com/pcs, you can go to them directly as well. I became an affiliate for them so I do get extra revenue when people sign up which is one of the things that you can do as well as creating your own product is you’ll other services that you want to promote and you’re going to promote those and share in the revenue. This is the best that I found is the one that I use at getpaidforwhoyouare.com/pcs.

Once you’ve placed your ad, you’ll start to receive responses. Review the resumes and work samples and make a pile of your top ten. Be sure to check that the estimates are within your budget range; building a simple, three-page website should take no more than 10 hours ($100 to $200 total) for most designers.
Schedule a 15-minute interview to talk with the top five candidates. Talk about his or her work experience, get a feel for who they are, and establish a personal connection. Your job in the interview is to be honest about what you need, find out if the person is qualified, and sense if you trust this person.
One of the questions I like to ask during an interview is, “What will your references say when I talk to them and ask what is your biggest strength? And what will they say is your biggest weakness?” Ask them if they are willing to undertake a short, unpaid test so you can see how they work. If they are unwilling, you might negotiate a small fee.
Invite the top five to take a test that would take no more than an hour (you can do it unpaid or for a small fee). I have includ- ed a sample test below that you can tweak. Many won’t want to do it for free, which is understandable, but you may find a gem in the few that do, and you’ll be all set.
The following is an excerpt from the CoachStart Manual.
So, you’re considering a career as a life, business or corporate coach, but are wondering, “What’s the best way to enter the field? Do I need to do a training course? Do I need to get accredited? Where will I get clients? And do I have what it takes?”
Most coaches agree on the best way to begin a coaching career: Work with someone who already is a coach! Simple, eh?
In other words, do a month or two with a coach. Someone who has already built the type of business or career you want to have and who can then help you do the same — only faster and more efficiently.
