Why would a coach need a website?
-Shorten the Sales Cycle. Not everyone loves the sales part of the entrepreneurial job. Well, a website can help you complete that job a little simpler in a shorter amount of time.
-Do your prospects really know what you do? I’ve often heard from coaches that this can be an issue when you’re networking: they get the blank stare after their 30 seconds. Your website can be an extension to your 30 second elevator speech, helping your prospects really understand how you can help them!
-Passive Income. You’ve heard about it: Make Money While You Sleep! But, it’s not a scam, it’s a store on your website that clients and prospects can come to and buy your products or services-even while you’re asleep!
-Build Referrals: Our websites have viral marketing techniques that allows your clients tell all their friends and family how helpful your services are through your website!
"The traffic to my site is off the charts and my conversion rate has more than tripled. I recommend Indra to any coach who seeks to realize their greatness by reaching out to and impacting more people. "
-Kim Nishida, Ready to Evolve Coaching
Are all your website packages really just templates?
No. Our website packages are custom design websites with your vision, brand and niche in mind. We are not restricted in the design in any way when it comes to our custom website packages. We also now offer template websites, which can be viewed here “http://www.indrasuccessfulcoachmarketing.com/contact.php” These templates do have restrictions in that we are forced to work within the parameters of the template. Read below to find out what sets our website templates apart.
What are the advantages of using you versus using another web designer?
This is what we do: Web design & development and Internet Marketing is our specialty. Our clients have said that, before they met us, they had talked with several other web designers. Usually when they mentioned they were a coach, they got a blank stare from the web guys. Do you want to waste your time explaining what you do to your web designer, or do you want to move forward to the next level as quickly as possible? We use coaches in our business and personal lives, we have researched your industry, we are members of your organizations, we go to the industry meetings, talk with coaches on a regular basis, partake in your online groups, and are basically immersed in the coaching industry so that we can quickly and easily get you the best coach marketing practices around.
Why should I buy a template website from you and not the other guys?
- When you buy a template from GoDaddy or Homestead you’re buying a database driven website, which is bad for Search Engine Optimization. Our templates are not database driven.
- Do you really have the time and patience to tinker around with a database driven template? Some template selling companies charge you over a thousand dollars for a template and make YOU do ALL the Work! Where is the logic in that?! These do-it-yourself templates tend to be clunky and do have a ‘learning curve’ aspect. When you get our template, you can have it customized for $900 – in which we’ll add the content, change out the headers and update the navigation for your business, then upload it to a hosting provider, such as Bluehost. WE do all the work while you go out and change the world!
- Surely, you have heard from your own coaches, "the best way to grow your business is by delegating." Delegate the work of web design to us and you take that time to go out and make a true heart to heart connection with your current and prospective clients.
- You can make changes to the website yourself once it’s up and running. For $75 set-up fee and $20 month (Our contracts are 6 months) you can easily update the website yourself with no technical training at all. If you decide to not have the Content Management System, no problem! You can also hire us on an hourly rate of $75 per hour or pay a monthly maintenance of $75 per month for 2 hours of work.
Do I click “Customize the Template” on the details page for customization?
No. This is through a different company – and you are welcome to try them, but they are more expensive and will not talk to you over the phone. Also, they don’t understand the coaching industry and what’s best to market your business on the internet! You don’t want to explain what a coach to your web designer while you’re trying to finish your website! Let us do it – it will be faster and cheaper.
Will you expect me to come up with all that content?
We have a system that will help you through the process of developing the content for the site. In all, it’s about an hour of work every-other-day for about 4-6 weeks. If you’re still not comfortable writing the copy (text) we have several copywriters that we can refer you to who are easy to work with, reasonably priced, and fast on delivery.
Can you have eNewsletter sign-ups and Autoresponders on my website?
Yes! We know that eNewsletters and Autoresponders are essential for coaching websites as they help coaches market to their prospects and clients again and again. The way we develop the systems also make them automated, so once we have them up and running, you don’t have to do any more work!
Will you host my website?
Currently we are not offering web hosting services. We specialize in web design and Internet Marketing. We can, however, recommend Bluehost. They have excellent customer service, and if you use our referral link (above), we will be notified as well as you, if any problem ever arises with your account. This has given our clients a peace of mind.
What other costs could be involved in developing my coaching website?
Other possible costs could be: (approximate costs)
Email Database: ~$9 per month
Hosting: ~$7 per month
Audio/Video Host: ~$20 per month
Maintenance Available: ~$75 per month for 2 hours of work
Content Management System: $75 set-up and $20 per month
Can I have my clients pay for their sessions on my website?
Yes! With eCommerce we can set-up recurring payments, one-time payments, package payments, as well as a shopping cart for multiple purchases. Like we said, we make growing your coaching practice easy!
"The traffic to my site is off the charts and my conversion rate has more than tripled."
-Kim Nishida, Ready to Evolve Coaching
What kind of payments do you take?
PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, eCheck, and Check. And we offer the convenience of paying in small installments.
What if I don’t want a four part payment plan, can I pay all up front?
Sure, we’re flexible to make this easy for you. Let us know how we can make this a most comfortable transaction for your situation.
Can I have a slide show or animation on my website?
We are a full-service web design and Internet Marketing company, so yes we can do Flash work for an added cost. To see how we can develop slide shows, go to our Portfolio: www.IndraMarketing.com/portfolio.php This is only a very small sample of what we can do with Flash! Want to see more? Go to our parent company website: www.BlazeInteractive.com

Nirzhar (Near-Zhar) and Rachel Pradhan, life and business partners, have been in the web design business since the late 1990s.Blaze Interactive, the parent company of Indra Successful Coach Marketing has been around for a few years. We opened Indra Successful Coach Marketing January of 2007.
"After quite a bit of time searching for the right web designer, I found Rachel and Nirzhar and I couldn't be happier."

Changes you can make to the site within the 30 day period are: text, links, and photos. Maintenance packages are also available starting at $75 per month for 2 hours of work.
How do I know you won’t share my vision or ideas with another coach?
We want you to be successful, and so we understand the need to protect of your intellectual property. We sign a ‘Non-Disclosure Agreement’ with all our coaches that would like to do so. However, some of the same marketing techniques that we have developed may be used in all of our websites, as they are effective for coaches. Anything that is solely yours will remain yours. For instance, we will not use the copy that you come up with for any other website. There may be proprietary coaching tools and techniques that are copyrighted by you. These tools and techniques will not be used for anybody else, nor will we share your ideas with others.
What else can you do regarding Internet Marketing?
Internet Marketing is going beyond the website: Search Engine Optimization, Pay Per Click Ads, eNewsletters, Podcasts, Videocasts, Blogs – you name it, we can do it! Check it out at: Internet Marketing
My website is up: Now what?
Time to market it! Once you have a website with Indra Successful Coach Marketing, you will receive a ‘check list’ of things you can start doing to promote your website. Here’s just a small taste:
- Add your Website to your Business Cards
- Add your Website to your Brochure
- Mention it at all your Networking Meetings
- Send an eNewsletter to all your contacts with the new URL (website address)
You may have known all of these marketing techniques, but we like to save the other juicy parts for our clients.
Are Nirzhar (Near-Zhar) and Rachel Pradhan coaches?
No. We specialize in web design and development and Internet Marketing. We chose to study this career option way back when. We love the coaching industry and the profound effect that coaching has on one's life. We know that the best way to serve you is to keep that ‘outside’ view. That way we can see coaches as a prospect would. I think that’s what really separates us from other ‘Websites for Coaches’ businesses: we are not coaches, we are marketing and design experts that work with coaches. We don't want you to go to the dentist to get your accounting in order.
Let us do the all the grunt work, while you go out and make a difference in the world.

Like one of our very satisfied client, Kim Nishida of Ready To Evolve, said, "Before I began working with Indra Marketing, I had an OK website that I designed myself which earned me some compliments but didn't get me either the traffic or the sign-ups that I really wanted. I was frustrated and realized that my DIY mentality was a disservice to my business.
After quite a bit of time searching for the right web designer, I found Rachel and Nirzhar and I couldn't be happier. From start to finish, their professional and coach-like approach made the process so easy. I now have an amazing web site with a blog that gets me traffic from all over the world. The traffic to my site is off the charts and my conversion rate has more than tripled. I recommend Indra to any coach who seeks to realize their greatness by reaching out to and impacting more people. "

You may decide to change hosts or you may decide to change designers- (we do hope you will remain with us till chipmunks do us part)- you are free to take your website with you wherever you go-and no, there is no extra cost from us to change designers or hosts!
