But, I will say the best way to market a brand new coaching business is the same way you would grow a brand new any business if you\u2019re going to use direct marketing:<\/p>\n<p>Opt-in page -&gt; daily email to an offer -&gt; sell those buyers something else<\/p>\n<p>There are other things you can do, of course.<\/p>\n<p>But do that first.<\/p>\n<p>I liken this to where I live, where I can see the Pacific Ocean out the window, as I type this. And I can see a horizon line. And I have looked at the maps, and if I was to start walking on the water in that direction I\u2019d eventually reach Japan.<\/p>\n<p>But, I cannot &#8220;see&#8221; Japan from here.<\/p>\n<p>I can only see the horizon line.<\/p>\n<p>To see Japan I\u2019d simply walk to the horizon line, and when I got there I\u2019d see further. Then I\u2019d see another horizon line, and when I got there I\u2019d see further, etc etc etc.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how the above \u201cfunnel\u201d works:<\/p>\n<p>Get to that first horizon line, then you\u2019ll see further. That\u2019s when you can start doing the more advanced stuff like stacking medias, putting in multiple subscription offers, building out events, or whatever it is you want to do.<\/p>\n<p>Okay so enough of that.<\/p>\n<p>I teach a lot of the \u201chorizon line\u201d stuff in my free mobile app.<\/p>\n<p>I got something like 40 hours of content in there.<\/p>\n<p>All free to learn, whether you buy anything from me or not.<\/p>\n<p>You can access it on your smart phone or iPad here:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.BenSettle.com\/alt\"><strong>www.BenSettle.com\/alt<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The question is asked: \u201cWhat newsletter would\u00a0you recommend for a brand new coaching\u00a0business?
