Outline
The Lifecoach platform allows you to promote your unique coaching services & sell online video coaching sessions which users can purchase.
When you create a coaching service on Lifecoach, you will be given a unique landing page to promote your service. Your landing page includes:
- A high quality cover image
- Unique content that you add
- Your pricing
- A public calendar so that potential clients can schedule and book discovery video calls directly into your calendar
- A quick message form so that users can message straight from your landing page (also generates an email notification if you are not currently online)
- A secure, highly user friendly payment flow so that clients can purchase directly from our landing page
- Your landing page is also linked to 'My People', your Lifecoach CRM so that you capture all new leads & clients in one place.
- You get a unique link in order to promote your landing page anywhere you like. Your link is designed to look good in social media posts & feeds so you can share it with confidence.
After purchasing your sessions, you can work with clients to schedule and run live 1-to-1 video coaching sessions directly through the platform. As a coach you can handling everything (including your existing clients) via your lightweight & user friendly CRM.
Both you and your clients benefit from our smooth payment flow, trusted, impartial refund guarantee, easy scheduling tools and our coaching centred video conferencing platform.
Can I create a coaching service on Lifecoach?
If you're a Coach who offers online video coaching then yes, you can create a bespoke coaching service on the Lifecoach platform.
What area of coaching can I base my service(s) on?
The short answer is almost anything! We ask Coaches to put services into one of our very high level categories, simply to help clients (and search engines) to discover them, but these categories should give you the flexibility you need to fill your own niche and target your ideal clients with the coaching subject that you're an expert in!
What should I call my coaching service?
It's completely up to you, but we recommend one of the following approaches:
- Give your service a title that strongly targets your niche (for example, "Post Traumatic Injury Recovery").
- For coaches who are building or have built a strong brand name, use your own brand/name in the title (for example, "Sue Smith Life Coaching") and then use the sub-title to make it clear who you work with and what your niche is.
Do I have to coach online by video?
Yes. Lifecoach is an online coaching hub; a place to find coaches and a place to get coached online. That means when clients purchase sessions with you, they are expecting to receive their coaching via online 1-to-1 video conferencing. We provide this via our dedicated online video coaching platform and this allows us to improve the coaching experience for both coaches and clients. That said, once a client has purchased coaching through the platform, in cases where the coach or client prefers to coach offline (for example, by telephone or even in-person) we do support this but it means that the coach/client may not benefit from all of our tools to improve the coaching experience.
Are online coaching services only for 1-to-1 Coach/Client relationships?
Yes. At this time the platform only supports 1-to-1 online video coaching and all video sessions take place through the platform. We do have an aspiration to offer group coaching in the future and if that is something you would like to see then please do vote for the feature here.
Do I have to offer free discovery calls/sessions with interested clients?
Yes. We're sure that you'll be the first to agree when we say that client/coach fit is vitally important when it comes to the success of any coaching service. For this reason, we ask every Coach who creates a service on the platform to offer free discovery sessions with interested clients. You have full control over when you allocate time for discovery sessions (via your Lifecoach calendar) and as soon as a prospective client books one of your available discovery sessions, they will appear as a lead in your Lifecoach Client Relationship Manager (CRM). This helps you to manage all of your leads and even to turn them into active clients by inviting people to enrol in your products and services after successful discovery sessions with them.
Can you help me to create my first coaching service?
Absolutely! That's what we're here for, and we've built the Lifecoach platform to make the process as simple as possible.
In addition to making the program creation process simple, we also offer a free professionally designed cover image for every service. Using a professionally designed image can make all the difference when it comes to boosting conversion rates and making your coaching services as attractive as possible.
We're constantly working on improving our tips, tools, FAQs and user guide to arm you with all of the information you need to create your first service, promote it and make it a huge success.
How does payment work?
Lifecoach enables coaches to charge for their products and services, without the need for separate payment processing equipment.
You set your own prices and in addition to setting a base price per coaching session, you can also add up to two more session packages / bundles to offer volume discounts. Clients almost always prefer to pay via Lifecoach because they can use one of the most trusted and secure payment providers in the world (Stripe), they can pay in their own currency (meaning you can sell to a much wider audience) and they (and you) benefit from our impartial satisfaction guarantee and refund process.
As clients pay you online (directly through your landing pages), we simply deduct our platform fees and collect all of your earnings in a secure wallet. Read more about the Shared Payment Model Here. The platform then pays you with a single automated monthly payout, direct to the bank account of your choice. Read more about how payouts work here.
Are there any fees?
There is no fixed fee to create and host your services on Lifecoach.
As a coach, you can publish as many paid bespoke coaching services and run as many client sessions as you like. We believe in a sustainable partnership, where coaches are rewarded for creating amazing services, improving lives and bringing clients to the platform, and Lifecoach is rewarded for driving new clients to our coaches. To facilitate this, Lifecoach is built on a shared payment model where revenue on session sales is split between the coach (you) and the platform (Lifecoach) depending on who drives each sale. In summary, the platform takes a 2.5% revenue share on every sale that you generate as a result of promoting your service using your unique smart link, and 5% on every sale that occurs as a result of our platform marketing. This rewards coaches who do their own marketing & promotion with a significantly reduced platform commission rate. Read more about the shared payment model here.
