Best answer
@krumm here you go: ⚠️ How to be a life coach on Facebook : (in 15 days) ⚠️ (or whatever coach you want. ) . ⚠️ 1. Join a lot of Entrepreneurs Business groups. (or any group that follows Maria Condo, Tony Robbins, Gary V, Cardone, Minimalist, financial freedom, nomads, etc. ) . ⚠️2. Ask open questions that make no real sense and have no real answer . - What is freedom for you - what is your passion - what will you do if you could tell yourself whatever in whatever time of your life. - if you could have dinner with someone (ANYONE! ) . who would you chose. . The important point is that the question is as hippie as possible, to showcase how truly deep you are. (Because you listen to podcasts and you read a lot of books. so we need the world to know that ASAP ) . Or the "Make money life coach question" also applies. Examples: - what difference will $1000 per month make on your life - If I could give you the blueprint to make your laptop an ATM what will you do to achieve this type freedom ? . ⚠️ 3. Once posted wait for random people to reply stupidities, the more stupid their answers are and the more people replying the better. what we need is ENGAGEMENT BABY. ⚠️ 4. Be sure to HEART their comments (even if they make no sense) and reply something like : . - Love your work Peter! - huge fan of your passion Roger! - Love this comment Sandra! - I'm a big fan Michael! . Important: Regardless how stupid their answers are, don't forget to tell them to follow their passion and that anything is possible. this is a key ingredient. . Feel free to abuse the use of words like : epic, crushing it, BOOM, passion, path, calling, mission, ROI. passive income, purpose, gratitude, entrepreneur, visionary and blessed. . ⚠️ 5. Post in your timeline a post about . - how grateful you are about having a coffee (considering kids in Africa don't have coffee) - Tell everyone that you are fasting - Tell everyone you had an Ice Bath. - Remind us how you go to the gym WHEN NOBODY ELSE is going to the gym - Show us a screenshot of your daily profit - Show a photo of you at the beach with the hashtag #blessed . ⚠️ 6. Go back to Facebook groups and tell us a lesson that you feel "inspired" to share with the community. as a way of saying THANK YOU for everything you have learned. . The lesson usually includes some factors like: - Trauma about how your daddy left you / mummy didn't hug you enough - Very poor childhood . (you only got socks for Christmas) - How many jobs you did by the age of 18. and how much you struggled to find your passion. - If you got arrested, did drugs. or failed in your marriage EVEN BETTER. - Be sure to add "a critical moment" when said to yourself "I NEED TO CHANGE" . and tell us how you did that change. - how you went from starving in the streets to now living the Instagram lifestyle we all want you to inspire us to achieve. - Quote the Dalai Lama, or Tony Robbins or for God Sake any book of God Sake Paulo Coelho . Make the post and spam every Facebook group so you get some sort of validation. Remember: Make it humble. and teach us some lesson that you learn along the "hard road" to passive income or financial freedom or whatever the fck you claim to be currently at. . ⚠️ 7. Bombard your timeline with Motivational quotes while you add a lot of random people as friends. The goal is to max your friends so then you can make a post about "cleaning your Friends list" - so then we think that you are super popular. ⚠️ 8. Make a vital post when you confess "how many friends" have been asking you to launch a . Mastermind. Course Book. Podcast. IMPORTANT : Don't do it. instead ask people. "comment below" if I should do A or B. don't forget you want them to believe "you are listening" . Wait until 5 to 7 random people comment "yeah! Do it! ". so you can feel that you validated your idea. . ⚠️ 9. Now. tell the world how brave you are and how committed you are to "your mission" (chill, nobody will ever truly know what your mission is anyway). and then post that you have decided to "launch it". Be sure to showcase a bit of vulnerability and "confess". if it wasn't for the support of your "audience" (we all know you have no audience). you will not have the courage to "launch" this one in a lifetime product to your biggest fans. Be sure to include some suspense. and announce that "product" will include all your secrets. because we can't wait for your secrets. . ⚠️ 10. Wait. for some random Paypal transactions to arrive (usually from your best friends trying to support you buying your crappy course or coaching program) and slowly feel the enlightenment of being a life coach on social media. Jump in the bath, take a photo that showcases how you DID IT. and be sure to hashtag the crap out of it . Smile : You did it. BOOM YOU ARE CRUSHING IT. Now rinse and repeat for any type of coaching. is the same shit. just do it over and over. ⚠️ . Spiritual, Paleo, Vegan, Minimalist, Business, Startups, Productivity, Fitness, who gives a flying crap, when you are a real coach, you don't need to know anything about anything you just need to inspire . so just repeat the same process over and over. (tip: print this guide before goes to my private mastermind group) . --- Remember. I trust you can : just follow your "calling" --- . #blessed Note: Don't forget to write a book in Amazon and give it free and once 12 clowns download it and is free in the subcategory, screenshot it so you can call yourself a BEST SELLING Author. that usually helps to improve your "branding" . Level 2 is to coach coaches how to become life and business coaches. that is level 2 . . ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️Do you want to become a business coach? Comment below. ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Every marketer should have a story, and if they tell that story, no matter if it's true or not people will feel like, "They did it so I can do it". That's why that story is so popular, even when it's not true.

@christoffer agreed but when everyone does it, people tend to see through it as I read a lot of negative comments on their ads
by (1.6k points)
It's been going on for years(over a decade), and many people will fall for it. It's still profitable, even though I wouldn't advise it if it's not true. There are always going to be new people who'll fall for it. It'll work as long as people fall for "get rich quick" schemes because that's what they want to believe. A few negative comments doesn't mean the above isn't true.

It's just human psychology, and the top marketers are masters of it.  
by (2.6k points)
@christoffer I disagree. Being a fraud is not a top marketer . They' re a con artist and should never ever be revered. The amount of fraudsters on click funnels is astronomical. They have fake claims, fake reviews from pals and coolaid drinking lemming audiences, misleading images ie as seen in CNN NBC ABC. Deloitte, E&A etc.  
by (1.6k points)
They're still a top marketer. They have to be good at marketing to get people's money. Otherwise someone who creates a bioweapon isnt a top scientists. Ethics and skill level are different things. Being unethical doesn't mean you're not good at your craft. PS:No I don't support people using their talent for bad things.

Here is how you do it. — Tell how you ran into the problem. Your product is the solution to a problem you once had, and that your prospect is facing now. Tell your personal story of suddenly being confronted with this problem, and needing to solve it. — Give your reason why for solving the problem. Why was it so agitating? What frustrations did it create? What ill fate did you fear would become you as a result of facing this problem? What would be the cost of failing to solve it? — Future-pace your ideal solution. This is a moment of discovery. You realize that there must be a perfect solution, and you have an idea of what you want it to look like. You’re not talking about your product yet, but the features you’re looking for in a solution will line up with what you put into your product. — Share your search for the solution. You looked at a lot of options — and they all came up short. Dramatize the struggle. Pick the top few competitive and best-known solutions, and invalidate them. They were great for some of your buying criteria, but failed on others. In the end, they simply didn’t measure up. — Reveal the darkest hour. At one point, you faced ultimate frustration. None of the solutions available to you in the marketplace were sufficient. While you could solve your problem in a way that wasn’t ideal, you knew it wouldn’t make you satisfied. — The moment of truth. This is where you change from problem-haver to problem-solver. It’s an emotional moment. This is where the story gets its name. In your darkest hour, you make a decision. “I can’t find it, so I’ll build it. ” — The invention. Here you again touch on the buying criteria — the feature list of the ideal solution. “I wanted this to do X, Y, and Z, so I built it all in. I created the solution that I would have been an excited customer for, if only someone else had built it first. ” — The triumph. With your invention complete, you recognize it as the perfect solution to your problem. — The call to share. This is where your solution goes from personal to product. Either you realize this is too good not to share, or better, someone else facing the same problem tells you that you need to share it. — The packaging. Briefly, if relevant, tell of the creation of the product itself. What extraordinary steps did you take to create a packaged, perfect solution? — The offer. Here is where you finally shift to “selling” your product — although you’ve been selling all along. Compare the blood, sweat, tears, and expense you endured to make the product, to the silver-platter service you’re offering for a more refined version of the same solution.

Most of them are full of shit and are not millionaires ( posing in front of hired Lambo's ! ) - many ( almost all that come & go ? ) are desperately trying to hang on to the one lucky break they got and unable to repeat that one off success to anywhere near the same degree ) There are a few ( very few exceptions , I surmise ) but most are fly-by-night-has-beens! Thats when they want to 'help ' others to buy their courses and attend their tedious ( pre-recorded ) sales webinars that promise "free training" but are full tedious inert marketing crap ( "superexcited " , " weird tricks" , the fucking psycho-babble "MINDSET" horseshit and "students" who went from zero to 100K overnight using their bullshit methodologies - just $997 ( why is it always $997? ) for the next 3 hours only!

It’s sad that our industry has people feeling like they need to make one up. Story telling us an art.

Most of them are BSing. it's the "bro marketer" scam, and their funnels are always the same. they target people who want the secret sauce and they promise that they have it. why are they doing this? because they were taught that this is what people want. there are courses teaching people how to sell courses. they get sold by the same methodology they're selling. no wonder they're motivated to make it work! all these things are selling to people who are desperate. it keeps cropping up because it works. 10 years ago the scam looked a bit different but it was still the same. don't be fooled: if they're promising you the secret sauce, then they're lying because there is no secret sauce.

So what your saying is when you become successful you don’t want to help anyone? Also don’t forget when you become a millionaire and you think about what you did before in relation to what you do now you were “broke” It’s not just “internet marketing” it is literally every human being on the planet that does this. Here are a few examples Story of Instagram Model Why does a pretty woman post Instagram pics? - “I use to be a small town girl and nobody knew me and now I am a Instagram influencer” Story of Successful Blogger Why does everyone write about the same thing online? - I started a blog back in 2010 and I just did the stories for fun about everything and now I have millions of visitors every month” Story of a fitness Trainer Why do people exercise and sell videos on how to exercise? - “I use to be fat and now I have lost 100 lbs watch my story here” You ask why? It’s because their story is relatable and more people believe them instead of you. PS- I am not trying to be passive aggressive I am simply making a statement that you have the same opportunity that they all have. you just need to do something about it.

It is basically the same narrative - struggleporn. The information is freely available if you care to do research. The guru clowns just package it and selling it for 999. When confronted with this fact, they turn the sales pitch into "mindset motivation. " Then it turns to coaching. Aka. The UPSELL. The coaching is then suppose to keep your focus on the "free information above. " Then again, mindset doesnt need any courses. Never been broke. Not a millionaire either but living extremely comfortable by just finishing formal eduction (college), working through the ranks. Don't need to do the "entrepreneur" roadmap but comfortable enough to have the everything those 'gurus' have with just a straight 9-to-5 job.
