We all make mistakes. That’s true in our lives. And it’s true with our websites.
Sometimes in the midst of building our websites we miss some very important bits – like making our phone number easy to find or not hiding our best content.
Here’s 5 of the most common website mistakes I see that you want to fix right now:
After a while everything gets old, worn out or beyond repair.
This weekend my son asked me, “Dad, why did you throw away your drill?”
Now I love to tinker and build things. And I love using my drill. It’s got over 20 years of paint stains, scratches and dents – each reminding me of a project.
But a couple weeks ago the motor went out. It died just as I was driving the last screw on a dollhouse I was putting together for my girls. A few turns with a screwdriver and the screw was set.
But there I stood pushing the trigger over and over again. I fiddled with batteries, even banged it a few times on the workbench. But it was dead.
You have your website. You even write and article here and there. But why is it so difficult to attract more clients?
Well, once someone is on your website, what are you doing to get them to stay and to inquire about your business?

Remember when you completed your coaching certification? You were so excited to get out there and coach people. You became a coach to help people, to make a difference in their lives and help them make change where they felt stuck.
Fast forward to where you are now and you feel more like you’re lost at sea than anything else. You’ve done everything they told you after completing your coaching program. You got your website, wrote some pages, figured out your packages and prices. But there’s just a trickle of clients. What gives?
Well, I want to tell you that it’s not your fault. If you didn’t know about marketing and sales before you started your coaching program it’s pretty unlikely you learned it during the program. And that’s just because marketing wasn’t a part of your coaching program. It isn’t with most. And so you make the same marketing mistakes life coaches are making all over the web.
