Pro Tips

  1. 1

    Every piece of coach content should make the ideal client feel seen. Ask yourself: "Would my perfect client save this?"

  2. 2

    Mix education (70%) with soft promotion (20%) and direct offers (10%) — the 70/20/10 rule keeps engagement high.

  3. 3

    Your best-performing social posts are also your best email subject lines — repurpose everything.

  4. 4

    Video content outperforms text-only posts for coaches by 3–5x on Instagram and LinkedIn. Use video every week.
