Continue readingReady to build your coaching website but not exactly sure what information to include? Follow these steps and you’ll have your copy written in no time.
Note: This post is written assuming that you’ve already clearly defined your niche, offer and postioning and have sold yourself on it being AMAZING!
The purpose of your website is to position yourself to your niche. It’s your main home on the web where clients can come to find out more about how you can help them.
Most coaches include the following 4 pages on their website:
Home Page
Your home page must speak directly to your niche and establish your postioning. The goal is to convey what you do and how you can help immediately within the first few seconds of landing on the home page.
The home page should include:
1. A strong headline: a sentence or two about what you do and how you help people. For example:
2. A photo: ideally of you, so your potential clients begin to connect with you immediately
3. A call to action: Book a mini session/consultation or download a freebie
4. Include testimonials once you have them.
About Page
The focus of your about page is on positioning to your niche. What you want their thoughts, about you & how you can them, to be. The copy on this page should create a compelling reason so they book a mini session/consultation. Share your story through the filter of how it uniquely qualifies you to help them solve their problem.
The about page should include:
1. A strong headline that compels them to keep reading (e.g. why you are the person to help them)
2. Your story and why they should care (i.e. because they resonate with it)
3. Why you are qualified to help them
4. Another photo or two of you
5. A call to action: Booking a mini session/consultation
Work With Me Page
This is your sales page. The copy should really compel your client to book a mini session/consultation with you. They should be thinking that you might actually be able to help them get the results they are looking for.
The work with me page should include:
1. A strong headline that compels them to keep reading (e.g. the results they will get or identifying their current problem)
2. A explantation about why they are struggling
3. Outline how you will help them and what to expect in the mini session
4. Outline the results they will get by working with you
5. Another photo of you
6. A call to action: Booking a mini session/consultation
Blog/Podcast Page
This page will house the regular value content you create – either blog posts or your podcast episode pages. This is where you establish yourself as an authority in the subject matter to your niche. You are giving them some bite sized results ahead of time.
Start with 3-5 blogs/podcasts and then publish new content weekly. Each blog post or podcast page should inlclude a call to action to book a mini session/consultation.

If you haven’t spent years immersed in the online business world prior to launching your coaching business you may be hearing a lot of terminology that sounds a bit like greek to you right now. I’ve compiled a collection of the most common terminology definitions for you below:
Niche: is the problem you solve and group of people you solve it for. Your niche can be narrowed by demographics and/or by thought patterns.
Funnel: a succession of steps that will guide strangers through your client journey.
Freebie: a value packed piece of content, PDF or video or webinar, that will help your clients get results ahead of time. It’s used as a tool to build your email list. Potential clients get your freebie in exchange for their email address.
Landing Page: stand alone page where someone can learn more about your business or signup for your content. Landing pages have no navigation buttons and a single call to action. They can be hosted on your website or on a page hosted by your CRM.
Nuture sequence: is an automated series of emails (typically 3-5 set to be delivered over the span of a several days) sent to someone who has signed up for email list.
Thank you page: a stand alone page where people are directed to automatically upon completion of an opt-in form. Can be used to deliver content or lead to next offer.
CRM (Customer Relationship Management): a system used to build and manage all of your customer relationships. A CRM is where you store all the emails and customer info you collect while building your email list. Common CRMs used in the industry include: Flodesk, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Ontraport…AWeber.
Opt-in Form: a landing page used to allow someone to give consent to join your email list usually in exchange for a piece of free content.
Autoresponder: a function from your email provider or CRM that provides an automated response to messages sent to a particular email address.
Payment Processor: a company that manages credit card transactions. Common payment processors used are Stripe and PayPal. They all charge a processing fee.
Conversion: When a potential client moves from 1 part of your funnel to the next by completing a step in your funnel process.
CTA (Call to Action): a specific set of instruction (e.g. Click the button, Download the PDF) you give to your potential clients.

Every Coach, including you, should want to DIY all.the.things when it comes to launching your coaching business.
Yes, even the parts you think will SUCK…especially those parts!
If any of these thoughts just flashed through your mind:
“I rather just focus on coaching and outsource everything else”
“I suck at tech, I’ll never be able to figure it out”
“It will take way too much time”
“I don’t even know where to start”
Stay with me, I promise it’s worthwhile.
