How can I generate and increase my income as a sports coach?

Today, the profession of sports coach is considered a passion. However, if you want to make a living from it, you need to earn money, and we've put together a few tips to help you do just that.

Being a coach is great, but making a living from it is even better. If you're just starting out, you know how difficult it can be to be profitable at the beginning of your career. As for those of you who have already been in the profession for a while, perhaps you can share a few tips in this article by AZEOO.

Face-to-face coaching pays off!

Despite the fact that some people (perhaps you) would prefer to be paid in cash during face-to-face coaching sessions, customers are carrying less and less cash with them. However, there are a number of solutions to counter this.

• Monthly direct debit: by determining in advance the number of sessions your customer will carry out with you, you can bill them for the sessions. You'll receive what's due even if they cancel.
• Selling sessions as a package: this is similar to monthly direct debit, but there's no time limit. For example, if you sell 10 sessions and the customer chooses when to use them, then you get paid in advance, and if they forget, the money stays yours.
• Invoicing at the end of the month: this is riskier, but still a classic. You need to keep track of each customer's sessions and make sure they pay you on time.

• Payment terminal: whether using your smartphone or a portable electronic payment terminal, this option guarantees instant payment before or after your session with the customer.

What about online coaching?

Most of the time, online coaching is contracted on a monthly subscription basis. To do this, you have two options: use a website and set up online payment methods or, if you don't have one, use payment sites and applications such as PayPalfor example.

Selling programs!

If you don't follow up with customers, but they still want a generic program, you can use e-commerce sites to offer one. There are a number of possibilities, such as Shopify for example.

It's then up to you to offer several types of programs, whether for sports or nutrition. Don't forget that you can also find programs and offers for creating your own personalized coaching software with AZEOO, as well as personalized dietary follow-up!
