CREATE A PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE
FOR YOUR FLEDGLING COACHING BUSINESS –
EVEN IF YOU’RE A COMPLETE BEGINNER!
AT LAST – A Simple Step-by-Step Formula For Low-Tech Business Newbies To Have the High Quality Website You Thought You Couldn’t Afford. It's called Coach Website Express and it's here now.
From Marion Ryan - 11.02am
Dear Fellow Coach, Service Professional and Small Business Owner
- Imagine what it would be like to finally have your own website promoting what you do, sharing happy client testimonials, capturing visitors’ contact details, hey - even allowing your ideal clients to book and pay for your service online.
- Wouldn’t it be great to have your website featured on your business card, to be able to direct potential clients there and finally feel you’re a ‘proper’ professional with the necessary online presence to be taken seriously - and take yourself seriously - as a coach or service professional?
Just a few short weeks from now, using Coach Website Express you could have the website you need to really start building your business and making some money!
How do I know? Because I’ve created a straightforward guide and hand-holding system that shows you - step by simple step - how to design and set up your own website with no techie know-how beyond your ability to switch on your computer and type.
And if you'll allow me 5 minutes of your time I'll demonstrate why there's no-one better qualified than me to coach and mentor you to the website you've always wanted for your coaching or consultancy business.
MY STORY
I started coaching in 2001 and by early 2002 I was the proud owner of this website above. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that even back then I knew my home page should be all about them, not me, though there are plenty of other things I can see I got wrong.
I loved my website but there was one problem. Every time I wanted something changed - a new page inserted, a change in my fees, a new client testimonial etc - I had to go back to my designer. It was time-consuming and expensive. I started to feel disheartened.
FRAZZLED AND FRUSTRATED
I decided to take a website design course but weeks later when the course ended I still felt no closer to being able to do it myself. I just felt completely frazzled and frustrated.
The bright spot on the horizon was discovering blogging and Typepad was the blogging platform all the experts were recommending. This was Feb 2004 - and between you and me, I didn’t think it would ever catch on but I loved writing and was thrilled to discover that within a matter of minutes and a couple of simple clicks, my content could be LIVE on the world wide web – what a great feeling!
A BRILLIANT IDEA
One day when I’d been blogging for a while (even though I knew this blogging lark was likely to be a flash-in-the-pan) and knew my way round every crook and nanny of Typepad, an idea came to me.
Surely there must be some way I could create a website with the user-friendly interface of a blogging platform...
THE GIRL'S GONE MAD
People I spoke to thought I was mad. They couldn’t see how it would work but I was determined to find a way to do it.
- I wanted a website I had designed myself so it would be exactly what I wanted
- I wanted to be able to add new pages and amend the copy quickly and at no cost
- I wanted to be able to capture visitors' details and take bookings and payments online
- I wanted something completely affordable with no hidden costs or extras
And one day, after several false starts, a few brainwaves and a fair amount of trial and error, my blogsite was ready to go.
Soon other people were admiring what I’d done and not long after they started asking me to do it for them. They were happy for me to design and configure their website but wanted the same freedom to be able to control it themselves, updating and adding fresh content whenever they needed. That was the start of my succcessful ReadySteadyBlog website and blog design business.
My Claim - The system I've devised to help you do the same thing is so easy it's like painting by numbers! And until you tell me otherwise, that's my personal promise to you.

wonderful bonuses below.
WE LOVE HER!
"Working with marion is all about working in partnership. She explains everything in plain language -- no unnecessary jargon, no gobbledegook, no question left unanswered. It's like having your own website consultant on your desktop without the hefty fee.She has been there, done it, got the t-shirt and it shows in the pragmatic way she delivers her tips and tricks for building a great site. We love her!"
Marie and Jeni www.LivingRightNow.co.uk
FANTASTIC VALUE, PATIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE
"I was amazed at the way all my website pages linked together in Typepad. Working with Marion was fantastic value for me and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to get a site up fast and particularly if they want a website they can easily change themselves afterwards.
Marion was very patient with me when I changed my mind about aspects of the site and had a good intuitive feeling for what I wanted to convey her suggestions helped my own ideas take shape. If you want to do it yourself I am sure Marion has the patience and knowledge to put you on the right track."
Guy Thompson www.CityCompromiseAgreements.com
GREAT FRIENDLY SERVICE
"Marion offers a great service. She is friendly, curious and creative. Everything you need when explaining the complexity of all you want from your site. She responds quickly, seem always available and I am delighted with the results. I have found it hard to stay away and keep finding new projects for her to help me with!"

THE SAME PRINCIPLES I TEACH IN COACH WEBSITE EXPRESS
WHO IS COACH WEBSITE EXPRESS NOT FOR?
Coach Website Express is not for you if:
- You want a loud website with flashy dynamic graphics
- You have a website plan that is more complex than Churchill's war strategy
- You want menus, sub-menus and sub-sub-menus.
- You are not prepared to read and follow instructions
- You are too busy to do this yourself. In this case you should talk to me about my bespoke website and blog design service or check out ReadySteadyBlog.com.
SO WHO IS COACH WEBSITE EXPRESS REALLY FOR?
- Coaches, consultants and small business owners who have an amount of time and not much money
- Or plenty of money, thank you, but who want to learn to do this themselves
- Coaches, consultants and small business owners who feel they are blocking themselves from promoting their business because they have no website to direct prospects to
- Professionals who are prepared and ready to write copy, knowing it can be tweaked until they are happy with it
- People who are comfortable switching on their computer, using packages like Word and who are interested in learning a little more about technology
- And who are happy to be a little unconventional and use a blogging platform to create a conventional website look
PROFESSIONAL, INTELLIGENT AND RESPONSIVE
"I have known Marion for a number of years and partnered with her on a handful of projects. You couldn't invent a more professional, intelligent or responsive partner. I love working with Marion and I love what she's done for my website. End of."
Judith Morgan www.HomesInAHurry.co.uk
WEBSITES TO GET YOU NOTICED!
"Marion is a gifted communicator and therefore able to translate vague client ideas into powerful online messages. Innovative and a lateral thinker, Marion creates websites and blogs to get you noticed! Many thanks!

THE SAME PRINCIPLES I TEACH IN COACH WEBSITE EXPRESS
THEIR words, not mine. But you don't even have to take their word for it because I have a guarantee for you
I treasure my clients. If I sell you something that isn't what I say it is, you will be brassed off and tell everyone you know what rubbish I am. I would hate that.
So if you're not happy with Coach Website Express, if you feel I have misrepresented the offering in any way, simply whip me an email and I will refund your investment in full. What's more, you have 6 MONTHS from the date of purchase to avail of this 100% money back guarantee.which gives you more than enough time to try it out and get yourself the website you've been waiting for.
Now, here's the important bit. If you're excited by the prospect of getting your own website up and running very soon, I am asking you to do one simple thing now. If you hit the 'Add to Cart' button you will see I am asking for a holding deposit of £20.
I am putting the finishing touches right now to this package. I keep finding additional high-value content I really want you to know about! I intend the manual to be fully comprehensive, totally clear, completely t's crossed and i's dotted and even now, I'm finalising the bonuses I want to offer.
But I know so many people are longing for this simple way to create their own highly affordable website (or even websites), I just couldn't wait any longer to tell you about it! So, my plan is to ask for a holding deposit of just £20 to reserve your own copy with the balance of £77 payable right before I send you the full and final pack.
But please DONT wait till then to purchase because I am strictly limiting the number of launch packages I sell. As you'll see below, when you check out the great bonuses I'm offering, it is simply not possible for me to provide the package to more than a few early adopters in the first intake.
Of course, I'll be selling a second and third tranche in the coming months but if you want to get your website underway as quickly as possible, do make sure you're in on the launch programme which kicks off on Thursday 30th October.
Your personalised banner. Choose from two distinct styles and countless colour and font combinations to give you a unique banner that brands your site for you. Value £60
Your navigation bar. Choose from three distinct styles and a large selection of page names, colours and fonts to create the navigation bar that is right for your business. Value £100+
Free copy of "77 Ways to Drive Traffic to your Website". Learn a variety of ways to get visitors to your site, just focus on the ones you find most appealilng. Value - how can you put a price on this one?
Membership of a private online forum devoted to coaches, consultants and small business owners who are using Coach Website Express to create their website. Use the forum to ask your questions of me and receive advice and feedback from others.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
In order to be as clear and open with you as possible I want to clarify what the Coach Website Express package consists of and what is NOT included in the price.
INCLUDED
- Digital download of the Coach Website Express Manual and Workbook in PDF format
- Free 14 day trial of Typepad
- Personalised banner and navigation bar graphics for one website for you to upload
- Each of the bonuses detailed above including the private online forum which ensures you are never left struggling with something you cannot understand
NOT INCLUDED
- Typepad hosting fees of $9 - $15 per month depending on the package you purchase (full advice given in manual). This equates to approx £5 - £9 per month, and cheaper if you purchase the annual package
- Unlimited range of banners; however the options will absolutely allow you to have a unique and beautiful banner you will be proud of (eg the one on this website is an example of one option.)
- Images. The manual shows you where you can find quality free or extremely low cost pictures. Expect to pay a maximum of £1 per image
- 1-1 telephone support. This can be purchased separately (see Services page at Ready Steady Blog) but the package I am delivering to you assumes you have all the information you need to create a website you will love
- Autoresponder / shopping cart. The manual will show you how to create a contact form which is free but if you are planning on creating an autoresponder / newsletter you will need to factor in costs of between $12 per month and $39 (this for a full shopping cart service). Remember, you don't have to do this straightaway, you can always go back to the manual for instructions and add it in later.
PS Don't forget you're losing money every day that you are not yet
promoting your coaching or consultancy business online with a
professional looking website. It's your unpaid sales force and it
never goes to sleep! Even if you're an absolute beginner Coach Website
Express will work for you or your money back - Guaranteed
PPS Please be aware that I am offering Coach Website Express at a launch price (this seems only fair) and it will be increased to its correct level after the initial intake. Please do reserve your package straightaway to avoid disappointment.
