focus on finding out how to help your clients.\u00a0 The obvious way to do this is to talk to them and ask them.\u00a0 You can do this in a number of ways, including having an online dialogue via Twitter, Facebook, blogs, or other forums.<\/p>\n<h3>Use Free Online Survey Services Such as SurveyMonkey.com to Increase Your Life Coaching Income<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Life Coaching Business<\/span> Tip #2:<\/p>\n<p>Another way to get to know your clients is via an online survey using SurveyMonkey.com, and it won\u2019t hurt your <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">life coaching income<\/span> because it\u2019s free.\u00a0 The key to getting people to respond is to make sure you give them some type of value first, so they know that the information they give to you will be helpful to them later.\u00a0 They\u2019ll be happy to help you, help themselves.<\/p>\n<h3>Know Your Target Life Coaching Business Market &#8211;
