Starting an online coaching business is very affordable to start and easy to make a passive income online.
After a couple of years of freelancing, I was starting to get approached by potential clients. Clients wanting me to coach instead of providing the done for you service.
After some thinking like ‘could I really do coaching’, I researched doing online coaching and discovered that if it was something I enjoyed I can make a passive income with online coaching.
Needless to say, I got back to the potential client and created a trial run of doing online coaching.
This really did start to get the word out that I was doing online coaching and built up my confidence at the same time whilst making a passive income online.
Truly enjoying the experience of coaching clients instead, I developed a way of making it a service that I can offer to all potential clients that would want that instead of a done for you service.

One To One Coaching
One to one coaching does not need to be done face to face, but can instead be done online. If one to one coaching is something that would interest you then you need a system to do this. A typical system would involve:
- A webinar and landing page that would sell your coaching services. Getresponse offers this at $49 a month but with an initial 30-day free trial.
- Connect to an appointment scheduler. Acuity scheduler is probably one of the best schedulers out there. To get started there is a free option but of course, if you are wanting to remove all of the Acuity branding, the fee is from $15 a month.
- Link your appointment scheduler to your PayPal account or other payment processor.
As you see, for less than $100 a month you can start your own coaching business. Take on clients one to one when you’re free to do so.
Plus the amount that you can charge per hour is from hundreds and thousands of dollars. All of this whilst you are doing your regular job.

Popup Facebook groups are being used worldwide. From Amy Porterfield in the US to Carrie Green in the UK.
