I AM A QUALIFIED LIFE COACH!!!

I'm delighted to be able to post this.

On April the 25th 2007 I qualified as a life coach with The Coaching Academy

I initially started training in October 2004. Now for most people it doesn't have to take that long. However it's great to know that you can take time out if things in your life do not permit you to study.

Not only did I gain my qualification in coaching, but I was also awarded 82% which counts as a distinction. Which means I'm now able to use the following letters after my name LCA (dist)

I was so delighted at not only qualifiying but also getting a distinction, that after I finished speaking with the Coach Mentor on the phone, I burst into tears. I was such a relief that after all this time my hard work and commitment has been paid of, in full!

More Free 0845 numbers

It's amazing what you can find on the internet. I've now got no less than three 0845 numbers that are already working, the main one being the one that is directed to my Skype In telephone number so that I can now take incomming calls from pretty much anywhere that has internet access.

There is no cash back on this one but it gets set up almost instantly and you can choose your numbers, within a certain limit. They also allow you to change where the calls are directed to instantly using their web interface, which you can't do with the other one either.

So all in all it seems a much better service. As I'm not expecting masses of incoming calls I can forego the cash rebate, it would never make much anyway.

My own 0845 local rate number

Free 0845 Numbers with Cashback

I've just signed up for a free 0845 number. Having a look around I was amazed to find this offer. No only is the set up free and there are no monthly charges, they also don't charge you for the incoming calls.

Then if that weren't enough to make you wonder what the catch is, they apparently PAY you for incoming calls!

I've ordered mine today, I'll update on here as to how I get on. You know what they say "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is!"

But I can't see that I have anything to loose by giving it a go. So here goes nothing!

Paul G Bailey Online Life Coaching - Home

Paul G Bailey Online Life Coaching - Home

I've spent the last few days really working my website into the search engines. I can see why people are willing to pay thousands of pounds to have it done for them, it's a incrediblly manual process! For the most part any way.

I've manually added my new URL listed at the top of this entry to google and Yahoo!

Then using a program call WEO i've found other sites that relate to life coaching and have written to them requesting a reciprocal link. Basically it seems that if you have quality links to and from other coaching websites the search engines think you are a site that can be used as a resource for other related link and therefore rates you higher.

Some times you can do this automatically, I have also found a script that I have uploaded to my site that allows people to add a link TO their website by simple filling out a form. Of course for the system to work they have to have already added a link back to my site and the system automatically checks that this is in place.

I've already had a couple of other people add me to their sites and one person write back to say he has used my form. Even though the form automatically tells me when someone does this, it was very sweet of him to let me know.

The great thing about life coaches are they are really friendly helpful people and all to often are only delighted to do something like this, especially as it helps them as well.
