Coaches; how did you start?

[Butters]

Curious to learn. How did you start some life purpose coaching, and we're you able to turn this into your profession? 

I can offer some coaching related to online business and charge money but I'd much rather do something like life purpose coaching.

You'll have to build a method for attracting those kind of people to you.

Best way would be to start a social media channel and share free advice around the domain you wish to coach about.

That was my strategy.

For example, you could post TikTok videos around this topic.

I did a few coaching programs on Udemy last year. You get a little certificate you can print out but I doubt it's worth anything. But useful courses for sure (just wait for big discounts to appear on Udemy before you buy, the courses should be around $20 each). 

@mmKay that's a good question. What I mean is I want to help people reach their full potential in life. They say find a niche, and for me it would make sense to offer Etsy coaching because there's a market for it and I used to make money on Etsy, but I don't wanna do that. 

In fact it'd be so easy for me to start a YouTube channel and teach people how to make money online and I'd make great money from it. But the idea feels inauthentic. I'd much rather give real honest advice and support, personalized to people's personality and psychology, and help them get more out of life. I'd do that for free.
