Social media is a useful channel for life coaches because coaching is personal. People often need to get a sense of your voice and style before they feel safe booking a call.
You do not have to post every day. You can:
- choose one main platform
- post 2–3 times per week
- share short insights, client wins (with permission), and simple frameworks
- occasionally invite people to your email list or to book a call
Social works best when it supports your main system rather than trying to carry all of your marketing on its own.
The “Marketing Strategies That Work” section of the Life Coach Marketing Guide gives a clear view of how social fits into the bigger picture.
The Life Coach BrandPack includes content prompts, post ideas, and messaging examples that feel real and not forced.

Do You Have To Be On Social Media?
No. You can build a coaching business through:
- referrals
- workshops
- networking
- podcasts
But social media can speed up trust and help new people discover you.
What Social Media Is Good For
Social is especially helpful for:
- showing your personality
- sharing your way of thinking
- giving people small “aha” moments
- staying visible with past leads
People might follow you for weeks or months before booking. Social keeps you present in their mind.
What Should Life Coaches Post?
You do not need complex content. Focus on:
- Short insights
- mindset shifts
- reframes
- questions that spark reflection
- Stories
- client stories (with permission)
- your own growth stories
- Frameworks
- 3-step processes
- “from A to B” diagrams
- Invitations
- “If this resonates, join my email list”
- “If you are here, this program may help”
How Often Should You Post?
Keep it realistic:
- 2–3 posts per week is enough
- Stories or quick updates when you have something to say
Better to be consistent at a lower volume than to burn out trying to keep up a pace you cannot maintain.
Use Social To Feed Your Funnel
Instead of trying to sell directly all the time, use social to move people into your:
- email list
- workshop registrations
- discovery call bookings
That is where deeper conversations happen.
The Life Coach BrandPack gives you the funnel that social can feed.

Do Life Coaches Need a Funnel?
When people hear “funnel,” they often picture complicated diagrams and dozens of automated steps. You do not need that. A simple funnel for a life coach can look like this:
- People discover you (social media, workshops, referrals, SEO).
- They visit your website and see a clear offer.
- They join your email list through a helpful free resource.
- They receive a short nurture sequence that builds trust.
- They book a discovery call.
- You invite them into your program.
That is a funnel. Simple and human.
The Life Coach Marketing Guide walks through this style of path in the “Marketing Strategies” and “Marketing Plan” sections.
The Life Coach BrandPack includes this funnel pre-built: website, lead magnet framing, email sequence templates, and call-to-action copy.

What Niche Should a Life Coach Choose?
A niche is simply a clear focus. It helps people know if you are the right coach for them. You do not have to pick the perfect niche forever. You can choose a starting focus and refine it as you go.
Common coaching niches include:
- career clarity
- confidence and mindset
- high achievers who feel burned out
- life transitions (divorce, relocation, empty nest)
- leadership or executive life coaching
- creativity and goals
- faith-based or values-centered life
The key is to choose a group of people and a type of problem you deeply understand and enjoy helping with.
You can see how messaging becomes easier once you choose a focus in the Life Coach Marketing Guide under “Why Life Coaches Struggle” and “Marketing Foundations.”
The Life Coach BrandPack includes niche-positioning prompts and copy templates so your website speaks clearly to the people you most want to serve.

How Should I Price My Life Coaching Program?
Pricing feels hard when you are still thinking in terms of hours. Instead, think in terms of the full transformation: how you help people move from stuck, confused, or overwhelmed into clarity and action.
A simple way to price:
- define your main program (for example, 8 or 12 weeks)
- list what is included (sessions, support, resources)
- ask, “What is it worth to someone to move from where they are to where this program helps them go?”
Most new coaches undercharge. It is better to pick a price that stretches you a little but still feels honest. Remember that clients are paying for your whole framework, not just your time on the call.
You can see how to structure offers in the Life Coach Marketing Guide under “Clear Coaching Offer.”
The Life Coach BrandPack includes program and pricing templates so you do not have to guess.

What Should a Life Coach Offer Besides Sessions?
Selling one-off sessions makes it hard for clients to commit and hard for you to create predictable income. A better model is to turn your coaching into programs.
For example:
- a 6-week clarity sprint
- a 12-week transformation program
- a 90-day reset for a specific challenge
Each program should clearly state:
- who it is for
- what problem it solves
- how long it lasts
- what is included (sessions, support, tools)
- what changes by the end
You can see how to frame these offers in the Life Coach Marketing Guide under “A Clear Coaching Offer” and “Marketing Foundations.”
The Life Coach BrandPack includes program templates, naming ideas, and website copy sections that present your offer clearly and confidently.

How Do Life Coaches Explain What They Do Clearly?
If you try to explain life coaching by talking about “holding space,” “deep transformation,” or “powerful conversations,” many people will nod politely and still have no idea what you actually do. A better way is to describe your work in terms of clear problems and goals.
For example: “I help people who feel stuck in their work or personal life get clear on what they want, make decisions, and take real next steps, so they feel confident and in control again.”
That sentence tells them:
- who you help
- what they are struggling with
- what you help them do
- what life feels like after
You can build this type of clear, outcome-focused message using the Life Coach Marketing Guide, especially the sections on “Why Life Coaches Struggle” and “Marketing Foundations.”
If you want this core message written and applied across your website, emails, and social content, the Life Coach BrandPack gives you the full messaging framework and website copy.
