PART 5

Generating Income As A Coach

This time we are going to look at the income streams of a Life Coach.

Now I am not saying that you must do all of these, but they will give you a great idea of how you can make money as a Life Coach.

I have worked with literally scores of Life Coaches to develop a product mix that will make them some money and I have to say as it currently stands personal coaching alone counts for about 25% of my total income.

So what does that mean?

Well, that means that 75% of my income is derived from other sources other than personal coaching – learn this lesson before you start your business!


1 to 1 personal coaching, by month

By email, by the phone and in person

1 to 1 executive/business coaching

Very lucrative deals available for BIG MONEY!

Group coaching, by month

In a classroom environment. Charge between £5 - £20 for 3 hours and get between 10-30 people attending

Lead your own TeleClasses

A teleclass is group coaching on the telephone. Using a conference phone you schedule a call with multi-people at a time. You don’t have to buy any equipment for this. Check out www.meetingphone.com to see how it works.


License your program/IP (intellectual property)

If you are a natural ideas person why not come out with your own products and services and sell it to other people? I have got a number of reseller programs that I have created and licensed – www.confidenceworld.com

Mentor other coaches

You will probably not be ready for this just yet!

I make a lot of money out of this as I am a popular mentor and trainer of people who want to become a Life Coach and already established Coaches.

You must be able to get results though to make this pay.


Deliver keynotes/speeches

Either get paid for your speech or use it as a way to build up contacts and better known in front of groups. You usually pick up some business from every speech or talk that you give.


Sell/Offer assessments

I haven’t adopted this yet but some coaches are making thousands through selling assessments like MYERS BRIGGS or SDI online.


Write/sell a book

An obvious one! Need to be established though and print worthy.


Write/sell an ebook

Great way to make passive revenue. Select a topic that people want, write it and sell it on the net!

Check out www.success-ebook.com for an example of mine.
Also www.selfconfidence365.com

Conduct local seminars/workshops

Either book a meeting room in a hotel (can be costly) or in your local college or school and run a seminar

Set up a speciality training company or program

Lots of money to be had in training! I offer training courses www.beingasuccess.com/training.htm (£800+ per day) and also online courses like this one that I write myself (£9.99+ each)

Start an unrelated company using what you learned as a coach

Turn an interest into a money making project – practise what you preach!

I turned www.confidenceworld.com into a money making project.


Set up a portal/membership site like ConfidenceWorld

There are no geographical boundaries. I make money from around the world whilst I sleep!(in your area of knowledge/expertise)


Those above are the most popular, here are some more:

Create/sell audiotapes, CDs


Set up a coaching school


Keep your current job


Carry ads in your newsletter


Become a resident expert to other coaches in your area of expertise – charge a fee for advice etc


Become a coach to those from your former/present industry


Host a television or local/national radio show


Work for a larger coaching organisation/school


Get a part-time 'traditional' job


Become a vendor/service provider for the coaching industry


Train coaches in your area of speciality


Create an affiliate program for your products or services


Become an affiliate and sell items from your site
(including Amazon.com, software, etc.)


Write a column for a newspaper


Write a paid newsletter/ezine

Teach a webinar type course


Write/sell an ecourse


Create software


Joint Ventures with other coaches


Adult ed workshops

Write articles


T-shirts, notepads, etc.


Hopefully I have given you food for thought on HOW you can make money.

All you need to decide is WHAT and WHEN depending upon your experience, resources and support structure.

See you next time!
