I bet you never thought you could charge for your coaching and consulting services through your web site or online, for that matter! I do it all the time! In fact, I think I'm inside my own shopping cart several times a week just creating different payment links for new clients based on how much time they would like to work with me, and/or what type of consulting or coaching their situation actually requires.

Well, with MyMarketingCart.com, you can (and should) start selling your coaching and consulting services online from your web site. Even if you don't make your fees public, you can still create a separate web page (not visible to the public) where you send your clients (new and old) to pay for your coaching or consulting services (ahead of time) before they start working with you. Here's how that's done with MyMarketingCart.com.

Real quick, what's the difference between charging for coaching or consulting? While the major difference is in what you do for the client; are you coaching them (i.e, inspiring, motivating, encouraging, providing accountability, etc.) or consulting them (i.e., teaching, training, advising, providing expert opinion on a particular subject, etc.). In another way, the difference might be in the way you charge the client. Such as, consulting can often times be accomplished in a single (training/teaching) occurrence or two, while coaching can be an ongoing service that can last several months, even years, if the client so desires.

Whether you charge for coaching or consulting, and how you go about doing it, it's important to know that you should start charging your clients online for your services saving you time and energy processing checks you might receive in the mail or processing credit card payments by hand manually after writing down the client's information you just took over the phone. Another time-waster!
