Professional coaches, you now have a new income resource.

ClickBank, the Internet’s leading retailer of digital products, is now accepting recurring payments.

This is great news for anyone who sells digital (down-loadable) products.

Here are some examples of what this can mean for you …

If you sell ebooks, you can now offer an upsell that includes monthly coaching. ClickBank will process the initial sale and then automatically bill your client for each month’s coaching fees.

If you have a membership site or a mastermind group, you can now use ClickBank to automatically handle your monthly billing.

Of course, the ways you can use this are only limited by your imagination, but hopefully this will give you some ideas on ways you can grow your coaching practice.

As a coach with your own coaching practice, it’s critical that you know what’s being said about you, your coaching practice, and even your competition.

You absolutely have to know what’s being said in the marketplace (the world wide web and the blogosphere).

This isn’t an issue of vanity (well, it could be about vanity ). This is about market awareness and competitive intelligence.

I want to share an all too common mistake made by coaches and consultants virtually every day.

Unfortunately, it’s a mistake that could be costing you lots of money — and you likely don’t even know you’re making it.

In the last month, I’ve witnessed this snafu from a well known career coach, a top executive business coach, and even an inter peace coach (does that cause you to smile, or is it just me?)

Anyway, I cringe every time it happens.

When I heard it again, I knew I had to share this post with you.

It was during a a prominent personal life coach’s teleseminar. After delivering the “pure content” portion of his presentation, he moved into his “irresistible offer.”

That’s where it happened!

He invited his listeners to visit his offer page at “www.yourcoachwebsite.com/specialofferforjohndoeteleseminar.html,” or some similar sounding URL.

Do you see the problem?

Well, here it is …

You want to send your traffic to a simple, easy to remember dot com URL. It’s not wise asking your listeners to remember and navigate their browsers to some complicated URL, especially when domain names are so cheap these days.

Here’s a simple rule: Never send offline website visitors to any site that has a slash after the dot com!

Simply buy a new domain name, it’ll cost you less than $10. Then drive or redirect all your traffic to that site.

Doing this, you’ll dramatically lower the possibility of confusion and lost sales.
