Online coaching

Hey guys,

I am wondering, when is it good to start coaching online? Are there a lot of people here who do so? Did you start at the very beginning or you waited for a certain amount of visitors per day or etc.?

    i would start right away...even if you don't get anyone at first at least it helps to anchor you as an expert in your field...customers like to buy from experts.

    Hmm... but the price should be lower than the competitions right?

      Coaching requires 100% commitment. Customers come first.
      Oh yeah, I understand this but my blog is still a baby (2,5months) and I don't have that much credibility and name built up yet... I don't want to start online coaching too early (although I want to start it as soon as possible but I think there might be negative consequences if you start it too early) ...

    yes...charge as much as you feel you can.

    The time commitment is usually high and you want to get a couple of people at $1000 a month then 10 at $100.

    The higher the price the higher the percieve value of your training is. You want to exclude people based on price. make them feel important and special.

    IMO if you are really an expert in what you do or you have discovered a new technique in your niche, you could go on coaching people even if you've just been doing it for a few months.

    The exception to this would be if the coach wannabee is just getting into coaching to earn some quick bucks..he/she could get away for a while but I'm sure it will be busted in time..So at least study first. Or really help someone out and turn his business around (for the better I hope).

    Coaching is about guiding people on what works..The japanese term "sensei" or teacher means someone who has walked before or ahead of you..someone who's got experience and knows the true way..

    If you can provide value even if you've just been doing things for a month or two, then go!

    To your success!

      I definitely can help a newbie in my niche cuz I have been training for long and have been there done that with this niche. I am part of it and I know the clients. For now I consult people for free and I have them writing from time to time with questions...

    Why not start out offing free coaching as a way to really get to know your target market? Than you can up-sell them later. Main point is, get coaching right away if that's what you want to do. And delete the date stamps from your blog ;-)

    Will check out the course. And thanx for tip

    Well, a lot of it will have to do with the reputation that you have. If you can make money your self and have reasonable reputation then you can start coaching.

    And rep does not come over night. It takes time.

    But in the end of the day, If you can make money , then you can also coach.

      I guess I will test the reputation with the free report I am writing and how popular it will be... if it is popular and goes viral then it's a sign I'm getting there..

    I would say when you are earning the amount of money you want to help other people make, in my case I didn't start coaching affiliate marketers until I was earning 10k a month with affiliate marketing

    you are only gonna be able to help people make the amount of money you are actually making
