3 Months in creating online practice as Coach. [Road to Private Practice #3]
So its been 3 months since I started road to my online private practice, what I have learned since then.
You are doing editing at least once in week.
I used Fiverr and Upwork to market my services and find clients, without any Instagram or Facebook activities. When I created drafts for my services I edited them like 4 times after publishing. After that I reached around 70 views on a week period couple clicks around 5 spam messages etc. changed photos couple time and edited text couple times for better keywords and SEO It helped to gain impressions up to 130 in 7 days. I think a good result, but still not a one order. For the last two weeks it’s siting on Fiverr and living their life. I guess you have to make couple changes and see how it performs and hope to find best algorithm.
Getting money from freelance sites are bit daunting.
I got my first Online customer in Upwork by sending proposal, got two session deal for I was super inspired about outcome that I spent a bit more daily on Upwork looking for job listings to send proposals don’t get any gig spending all my proposal connects (inner credit) but it helped to realize some hacks how to outbid job offers :D When I spending my time sending proposals I was closed my first contract and waiting when my money came in from sessions. Two weeks pass and nothing, Seems your contractor are paying when they remember to do it if they are not daily user on platform. Platform by itself don’t pay you and then after dealing with the contractor that’s bit daunting but ok — seem it’s a freelancing world.
One or two resources for selling services would cut it.
the greatest thing about freelance platforms you don’t need do much backend work — those gig’s are passive and generating views, yes it’s important do some edits time by time too see what works what not. Hard to find best fit for the gig you have to test, fail, test again and again… and that’s what I am doing right now — doing some edits and send proposals to Upwork. Thinking about short video for better reach. Also thinking about maybe to create an Instagram account for content creation — but have done it — not sure if it’s best practice but who knows.
The next step is that I have found a huge FB group full of coaches and now thinking about offering some supervision consulting for coaches — this may work — we will see.
