Frequently asked questions
Every guide here is written to stand on its own: getting clients, pricing, and retention, with real numbers and the steps in the order you need them. These are the questions people ask before they pick where to start.
What do these guides cover?
The three areas that decide whether an online coaching business works: getting clients, pricing your coaching, and client retention. Each guide is self-contained, so you can read the one that matches the problem in front of you rather than working through a course.
Which guide should I read first?
If you have no clients yet, start with getting your first ten clients. If you have clients but feel underpaid, read the pricing guide. If people sign up and then drift away, go to retention. Most coaches need all three eventually, but read the one that maps to your bottleneck now.
Are the numbers in the guides real?
Yes. Price bands, churn windows, and outreach numbers come from how online coaching businesses actually run, not from a template. Where a figure is a rough range, we say so, because a made-up precise number is worse than an honest range you can adjust to your market.
Do the guides assume I already have a following?
No. They are written for coaches without an audience. The getting-clients guide starts from a warm network and a small amount of daily outreach, not from viral content, because that is how most coaches actually land their first paying roster.
How often are the guides updated?
Each guide shows the date it was last reviewed. When pricing norms shift or an approach stops working, we revise the guide and re-date it rather than leaving stale advice in place.
Can I use these with a coaching business I already run?
Yes. Established coaches use the pricing guide to restructure packages, the retention guide to cut churn, and the onboarding guide to tighten a process they built ad hoc. You do not have to be starting out to get value from them.
