The good news is online coaching and online courses are incredibly similar. The main difference between the two is that coaches have a more personal relationship with their clients. We often find that online course creators have success upselling a coaching package to people who have already gone through their course and need more intensive or personalized training.
A few things to consider with online coaching:
No one knows your business quite like you do. And online coaching is a way to further validate your knowledge bank beyond your course offerings. No matter where you are in your business stage, coaching can be a powerful tool for you. Plus, an added revenue stream never hurt.
Teachable makes selling an online course seamless and beautiful, regardless of your tech skills or business level. And now, we’re doing it again. Thanks to coaching, you can now grow your audience, schedule one-on-one sessions with ease, and offer supplemental learning options for students. Teachable’s coaching scheduler can even integrate with some of the programs you already use—among the other functions of the new feature.
And, because we don’t believe in complicating things, we made it easy to use. If you haven’t already, start by signing up for Teachable. You’ll be able to select coaching as an option.
From there, you have the option to build your coaching offerings and create specific milestones such as assignments, calendars, or meeting times for your clients. You can upload worksheets, add in a calendar link to schedule their session, or immediately add in a video conference link.
Marketing coaching and courses will be a nearly identical process. Yet, that doesn’t mean there aren’t still some best practices to ensure online coaching success.
Even if students don’t bite for your online coaching services right away, that’s OK. The key here is to get them into your marketing funnel and prime them to buy in the future. Diversify your products so even if portions of your audience aren’t converting into coaching clients immediately, you can still provide them something.
Ultimately, coaching and online courses go hand-in-hand. Once you’ve set up your coaching business, consider adding a course element—or vice versa—to maximize your offerings.
