Either way, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, we’ll take you through everything you need to know about how to build an online health coaching business, from developing a niche and finding your target market to creating valuable content and marketing your business effectively. By the end, you’ll have all the tools and knowledge you need to launch or grow your own successful online health coaching business.
Define your niche and target market
As a health coach, you will be working with clients to help them reach their health and wellness goals. It is important that you have a clear understanding of who your target market is and what their specific needs are.
Your target market could be people who are struggling with weight loss, those who are dealing with chronic health conditions, or those who simply want to improve their overall health. Once you have defined your target market, you can begin to create a marketing plan that will reach them.
There are a number of ways to market your health coaching business online. You can use social media, create a blog or website, or even host webinars or online courses. Whatever marketing strategy you choose, make sure that it is aligned with your target market and that it resonates with them.
Create your website and blog
Congratulations on your new health coaching business! You’ve taken the first step toward helping people live healthier, happier lives. Now it’s time to build your online presence so you can start attracting clients.
Creating a website is one of the best ways to do this. It will give you a place to showcase your work, post testimonials, and list your services. Plus, having a website will make you appear more credible and professional to potential clients.
Not sure where to start? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a website for your health coaching business in 5 easy steps. Let’s get started!
Develop your freebie
After you’ve decided on your niche, it’s time to start developing your freebie. This is a lead magnet that you offer in exchange for someone’s email address. It’s designed to give them a taste of what you have to offer and make them want more.
Your freebie could be a PDF guide, an eBook, a mini-course, or even just a checklist or cheat sheet. The key is to make it something that your ideal client will find valuable and that they can use to improve their health.
Think about what kind of information your ideal client is looking for and what would be most helpful to them. Once you have an idea of what you’d like to create, you can start putting it together.
If you need help putting your freebie together, there are plenty of resources out there to help you, including Canva (for creating graphics) and Fiverr (for finding designers and virtual assistants).
Create your tripwire offer
Now that you have your niche and your target market defined, it’s time to create your tripwire offer.
Your tripwire is a low-cost offer that you use to introduce your target market to your health coaching business. It should be a well-defined program or product that solves a specific problem that your target market is facing.
The purpose of your tripwire is twofold:
First, it allows you to start generating revenue for your business quickly.
Second, it allows you to start building relationships with your target market and begin the process of positioning yourself as an expert in your field.
When creating your tripwire offer, there are a few key things to keep in mind:
1. Make sure it’s an offer that you can deliver quickly and easily. You don’t want to over-promise and under-deliver on your first offer!
2. Keep the price low. You want as many people as possible to take advantage of your offer so they can get a taste of what it’s like working with you. $97 is a good price point to aim for.
3. Make sure the offer delivers value. Even though the price is low, your offer still needs to provide value and solve a problem for your target market. Otherwise, they won’t see the value in working with you long-term.
Create your core offer
Your core offer is the foundation of your business. It’s the main product or service that you sell. If you’re a health coach, your core offer might be an online course, a monthly membership, or one-on-one coaching.
Creating your core offer is an important step in building your business because it will be the foundation around which you construct everything else. Take some time to brainstorm what you could offer that would provide the most value to your ideal clients. Once you have a few ideas, do some market research to see what’s already out there and what might be missing from the current offerings.
Once you’ve settled on an idea for your core offer, it’s time to start creating it! This can feel like a daunting task, but remember that you don’t have to do it all at once. Just start with a rough outline of what you want to include and then start filling in the details. As you create your core offer, keep your ideal client in mind and make sure that everything you include will provide value and help them reach their goals.
Create an evergreen webinar
Creating an evergreen webinar is one of the most effective ways to attract high-quality leads, convert them into clients, and scale your online health coaching business.
An evergreen webinar is a pre-recorded webinar that you can use to generate leads and sales on autopilot. The beautiful thing about evergreen webinars is that they work for you around the clock, so you can generate leads and sales while you sleep!
If you’re not familiar with how evergreen webinars work, here’s a quick overview:
First, you create a pre-recorded webinar that covers a specific topic related to your niche.
Next, you promote your webinar using various marketing channels (Facebook ads, Instagram ads, YouTube ads, etc).
When someone opts-in to watch your webinar, they are added to a “webinar funnel” which is basically a series of automated email messages that are sent out over the course of a few days.
These email messages provide valuable information related to the topic of your webinar and at the end of the funnel, there is typically an offer for your products or services.
If done correctly, evergreen webinars can be an extremely effective way to grow your online health coaching business. Not only will they help you generate leads and sales on autopilot, but they will also help you build trust and credibility with your audience.
Create an email sequence
An email sequence is a series of 3-7 emails that you write and schedule in advance, to be sent out automatically to new subscribers.
Each email in the sequence builds on the one before it, until by the end, your subscribers are ready to take your desired action – whether that’s scheduling a discovery call, signing up for a program, or making a purchase.
Email sequences are an essential tool in any health coach’s business, because they:
-warm up your new subscribers and build trust with them, so they’re more likely to take your desired action when they reach the end of the sequence
-allow you to stay top of mind with your audience, so they think of you first when they’re ready to take action
-free up your time by automating your outreach, so you can focus on other areas of your business
As a health coach, you’re an expert in your field and you have a lot to share with the world. But what platform should you use to share your content? And how can you make sure that your content is reaching your target audience?
There are a number of different social media platforms that you can use to share your content, but not all of them will be right for every piece of content that you create. For example, if you’re sharing a blog post, you might want to post it on Medium or LinkedIn, but if you’re sharing a video, YouTube might be a better platform.
The best way to determine which platform is right for each piece of content is to think about where your target audience is most likely to see it. If you’re not sure where to start, here are a few tips:
-If you want to reach a general audience, Facebook is a good option. You can create a page for your business and share your content there.
-If you want to reach health professionals, LinkedIn is a good option. You can join relevant groups and share your content there.
-If you want to reach people who are interested in health and fitness, Instagram is a good option. You can share photos and videos of yourself working out or cooking healthy meals.
-If you want to reach people who are interested in nutrition, Twitter is a good option. You can share links to articles or blog posts that you’ve written about nutrition.
