Listen To The Podcast Sisters Archive

The Podcast Sisters are brought to you by Krishna De, Anna Farmery and Heather Gorringe.

In our podcasts we explore how to engage, adopt and apply Web 2.0, new media and social media strategies to your business and we try to do so in a straight forward non geek way as none of us are 'technology gurus'.

If you would like to access the archive to all our shows, you can mouse on over to our show page at Blubrry which you will find here.

We really welcome your feedback on your experiences of adopting the strategies we discuss and ideas for future shows - our listeners have also been guests on our shows. You can email us at podcast.sisters(at)googlemail.com, comment in our FriendFeed Room or join our Facebook community.

We hope you find our discussions, sometimes serious sometimes with more than a touch or laughter of value.

Free Marketing Resources For Coaches

I know a number of our listeners to The Podcast Sisters are coaches. You might not be aware that I also host a podcast series for coahces and HR professionals and that I interviewed Hannah McNamara, author of Niche Marketing For Coaches recently about the difference between coaching and mentoring.

Hannah has today launched a promotion to accompany her book - yes she is looking to increase sales of her book, but she is collaborating with people in her network who also have expertise and resources that will assist you in attracting more leads to your coaching practice.

HOW THE PROMOTION WORKS

If you order your copy of Niche Marketing for Coaches by Sunday 14 September 2008 you will get access to the free resources.

The book covers how to identify your coaching niche, marketing tips and how to set your coaching rates.

You must purchase the book from Hannah's website which you can access HERE - bonuses are not available if you buy the book from any other source.

You will receive an automated email asking you to confirm your registration. It is essential that you confirm using the link in the email otherwise you will not be able to access your bonuses.

When you have confirmed, you will receive another email containing a link to a page containing information on how to claim your bonuses.

You can find out details of the bonuses HERE - yes I've provided a really valuable bonus all about online press releases to attract more media attention and more clients.
