Sell coaching online by packaging it as a programme with a clear outcome, a set length and a fixed price, then letting clients apply, book a discovery call and pay online. Programmes sell better than hourly sessions because the client buys a result, and you can serve more people with group options.
Online coaching removes location limits. The challenge is trust: clients buy from people who show they understand their problem.
Define the outcome, map the steps and set a length.
Price the programme on the value of the outcome and your time.
Qualify with a form, listen more than you talk, and send a payment link after a fit.
Use video calls, a shared resource space and messaging between sessions.
Teach useful ideas publicly and invite people to apply.
