It’s been quite a while since I offered one-on-one coaching – mainly because it involves a hefty commitment of time from my end.
But, for the next week or two, I am accepting a limited number of new students.
My method of coaching is very simple…
===========
- I give you my private email address (usually reserved for my family and business associates).
- You can email me with any question pertaining to the development of your online business and I will respond – usually within 24 hours.
- There are NO restrictions on the number of emails you can send.
- There are NO “silly” questions (and I will never make you feel as if you’re asking something obvious).
===========
As my previous students will attest to, my email responses are VERY detailed, often 2-3 pages long, and I try to offer a complete and useable response, with specific steps at the end for you to follow.
If necessary, I will also create a short screen-capture video and provide a specific demonstration to assist you in understanding my response.
I have almost eight years of “hands-on” experience in many areas of online business including, but not limited to:
- Search Engine Optimisation
- Pay-Per-Click
- Business-to-Business selling
- Ghostwriting
- Copywriting
- Creating Ebooks
- Creating audio/video content
- Outsourcing web design work
- Time management
- Lead Capture
- Finding JV partners
If you ask me a question about an area on which I don’t have personal experience (there aren’t too many of those 
, I won’t try and bluff you. I will either research the matter for you or, more likely, I will contact someone in my network who DOES have experience and either relay the information, or arrange a direct
introduction.
I get a great deal of satisfaction in helping someone achieve their online business goals and I will do WHATEVER I can to help you succeed.
I find email more practical for this kind of coaching, and most people seem to prefer this method over telephone coaching but, if you have a strong preference, then a regular telephone conversation can be arranged instead.
======================
But why am I suddenly offering one-on-one coaching again?
The answer is, simply, that I am VERY excited about the launch of “Hidden Traffic Formula“, that I helped Robert to produce.
Naturally, I want as many people as possible to enjoy and learn from this home-study course, but I also want to ensure that everyone who takes the course is successful in understanding and implementing what they learn.
To that end, I am offering a full year of one-on-one coaching (as described above) to the first ten of my readers who purchase Hidden Traffic Formula.
All you have to do is:
- Go to www.hiddentrafficformula.com
- Complete your purchase.
- Forward a copy of your “purchase confirmation” email to david@thenettle.com
I will then contact you with the details you need to get started.
======================
OK – here’s the small print.
* Once the ten slots are filled, I’ll post on my blog. So if you’re getting this email late and you want to check if there any slots left, go to www.thelucidblog.com. Alternatively, just reply to this email and ask me.
* Although I will do my best to assist you, obviously I can make no guarantees about the level of success you can expect to achieve. The only thing I can guarantee is a full, and detailed, response to all of your questions to the best of my abilities and experience.
* Coaching is only useful if you apply what you learn. I won’t give you a half-baked effort, so I’ll be expecting the same level of commitment from your end.
======================
If you have ANY questions about anything related to the above, please post a comment below and I will respond as soon as I can.
One final note – Hidden Traffic Marketing has two-thirds off the regular price for the first seven days, but you need the promo code to access it.

Jesus!!!! I thought your offer for email instructional was out of pure desire to help and not with the condition to buy your product.
Get real, David.
Bother me no more.

I did consider spending all my time giving free coaching to everyone until I went broke and had to trade my PC for food.
But then I realised that I wasn’t a moron.
Sorry to disappoint you Joseph, but the good news is that unsubscribing from my mailing list is just one click away.
If only everything in life was that easy

That comment is just too funny Joseph!!!
Nice reply David – I thought it sounded like an excellent deal – 1yrs coaching for whatever the commission is on a $497 product – bargain!

The weird thing is that if Joseph had emailed me with that message, I would have sent a patient and friendly response.
I probably should have just deleted the comment, but there’s something about the fact that it was posted publicly that stifled my usual professional courtesy.
How about a vote:
Post DELETE, if you think I should just delete the comment.
or
Post FREE SPEECH, if you think I should leave it up.

I say leave it so people can avoid negative people like that.
Yes would be nice if everything was free but if we never sell something nobody makes anything.

I say leave it too, your offer is (imho) worth more than the cost of the product, especially as you know the product inside ouit and can help people put it all in place.
If Joseph can’t see that then you don’t want him on your list.

Well David, in my opinion it has to stay.
I knew there would have to be a cost that I currently wouldn’t be able to afford, but your time just can’t be given away freely. Anyone able to purchase the hidden traffic formula and get your advice for a year is on to a wonderful bonus – and should realise it.
It sounds as though Joseph has been reading too many so-called Guru-blurbs about Ferraris and Millions lining up to be had by lunchtime!!
Good luck with the project, I know you worked hard for it, and respect both your efforts and your opinions.

Nice reply David.
Weed out the “something for nothings” with courtesy and honesty. It’s important to remain polite.
Just dropping a message to let you know I am in your corner.

I’m curious as to what Joseph does for a living… I’m particularly interested in learning these 3 things about Joseph:
#1 Does he help people?
#2 Does he do it all for free?
#3 How does he pay for his own living expenses?
People like Joseph are a dime a dozen and unfortunately they comprise the 97% of those that fail on line. They are the freebie seekers that simply don’t care to understand what it takes to succeed not only online but in business or LIFE in general.
My hat truly goes off to you David for not deleting Joseph’s rude comment but also for your keen response.
The bottom line is this – “If you have a product or service that can help others, you are morally and ethically obligated to sell it to them.” …those are the words of Marshal Sylver.
You may ask… why sell it? Well – if you give it away, they wont value it or apply it, period. That is a fact that history has proven to us time and time again. Those with a vested interest in their education have the greatest likelihood of applying it to success.
Perhaps Joseph should visit his local University and ask them for a free education… I wonder what they would say to him?
To your continued success,
Omar Martin
