3 Spiritual Blocks That Push Away Spiritual Life-Coaching Clients
Wrap-Up: Marketing for Coaches'
If you're an established life coach, you know how crucial marketing is to attract clients and have likely already started picking up 'hot tips' on Instagram. But the fact is - the only thing that will make a real difference is using techniques, strategies, and schedules that really suit your working style. Don't stress if you're not into hard selling or outbound strategies, there are other ways to promote your brand effectively.
The key is to find marketing strategies that feel good and energize you, rather than drain you. If you're feeling exhausted or like your efforts are falling flat, it's time to take a step back and reassess. One coach can market and gain clients through weekly podcasting. Another can gain clients through Google Search. No one coach is the same, nor are marketing plans. Find what works for you and feels good so that your energy exudes and attracts clients through any marketing path you decide.
We recommend choosing one strategy and experimenting with it for at least 3- 6 months then reviewing and refining from there. It takes time to gather stats before you can decide what marketing approach is for you or not for you.
