3 Ways to Start Selling Your Expertise TODAY 💥

Ready to turn your knowledge into income? Here's how:

1. One-on-One Coaching: Offer personalized guidance and support. Set a monthly rate (e.g., $600/month) and create a 90-day or 6-month program to help clients achieve their goals. 🎯

2. Group Programs: Two options here:

   • Cohorts: Launch a time-limited program with a set start and end date (like our certification!). This creates a sense of community and shared progress.
   • Evergreen Groups: Keep your group open for continuous enrollment, allowing new members to join and leave as needed. Limit the group size to 10-25 people for a more intimate experience.

3. Digital Products: Start by hosting a live workshop (90 minutes is a sweet spot!). Sell tickets to the workshop and then repurpose the recording into a digital product. This gives you two income streams from one event! 💰

Bonus Tip: Plan quarterly workshops and turn each one into a new digital product. This creates a consistent stream of income and valuable content for your audience.

Ready to level up your coaching business? 🚀

Here's the 3-step roadmap to more 💰 and less hustle:

Raise your 1:1 coaching prices. As you gain experience and testimonials, your expertise is worth MORE. Don't undervalue yourself!

Launch a digital product. This is KEY to scaling your impact. Think ebooks, courses, or templates. It's a lower price point that builds trust with potential clients AND brings in passive income. 🤑

Start a group coaching program. This is where the magic happens! You get to connect with multiple clients at once, saving you time and energy while still delivering amazing results. Plus, the group dynamic creates a supportive community for your clients. 🙌

I've used this exact strategy to create a thriving coaching business that gives me more freedom and financial security. 

The best part? You get to control your schedule and create a business that fits YOUR lifestyle.
