Inside Pauls Brain

While at the Internet marketing Super Conference yesterday I was eating lunch (chicken and some tomatoe stuff.. I am on a diet so no cake for me) and chit chatting with the people around me.

One guy from Jo’burg in South Africa who is involved in casinos, one guy who is doing some interesting stuff with VOIP and allowing customers to call you direct from your website and a lady who’s husband is looking to do something online but they dont know what..

So there I am happily talking about blottos Brother, Jo’Burg and all the stuff that makes for normal conversation with people you dont know.

Suddenly the other lady at the table leans over and asks me a question..

How much do you charge?

Now I am 40 and a good few years past my prime so I guessed I wasn’t being offered money for my body or anything illicit..

So if it wasn’t my body she wanted what did she want?

She wanted to know how much I charged for coaching.. Now I hadn’t put myself out there as a coach or as any sort of expert on anything..

I didnt mention any income figures, and this lady was deadly serious..

We did talk a little and I offered to help her.. she said she would rather pay me and know I am there to help than take help on a “friends” basis and feel she cant ask questions..

So my question is..

Would you pay $500 for a 3 day course in to get you started?

Would you pay $199 for a small group meeting once a week for 6 weeks in your town, no more than 5 in a group?

I have been helping two total newbies recently and I was a bit shocked that one had joined a keyword list service for $57 a month and yet he didnt know what a reseller hosting account is, he had 2 websites, and is earning a couple of bucks a day.. but he doesnt know how.

To be fair he has been doing the homework I set him, and that is important, if you arent willing to do the things I suggest then you aren’t ready to have a adsense business…

Ebooks are great , there have been some very iffy video offerings lately ..

Would one on one, or one in a small group coaching really help you?
