The pandemic resulted in significant changes in the way we approach things, especially when it comes to how we do business. The Digital Marketing world has seen a tremendous increase in popularity and demand. Pretty much everyone who sells a service or a product is focusing on increasing their engagement online. What about the world of health coaches? As a health coach, do you think Digital Marketing should be a priority? If so, how can you make sure you increase your clientele and grow your business by using Digital Marketing tools in 2021?
Health coaching is no different from many other industries in the 21st century. It could benefit greatly from online presence just as much as the others. However, the key is to use online marketing effectively to succeed.
First, let’s start by saying that you don’t have to do everything to succeed. There are many ways you can go about your Digital Marketing strategy. How you choose to proceed? How much you are willing to spend? Who your target demographic is? How much time you are willing to put into your Digital Marketing efforts? Choosing the right path, combined with the right content strategy, should get you an increased level of online engagement and client base!
Here are some of great options for health coaches all around the world:
Website
The first and foremost Digital Marketing initiative you should consider is whether to have a website or not. The answer most likely is a yes! The good news is, creating a website is not as scary as it sounds, thanks to many applications such as WordPress! Doesn’t matter if you have a degree in web design or not. Even a free WordPress account provides you with many templates and assistance throughout. You will be surprised and pleased with the results!
So what are the elements of a good website? They are mainly good design, a fast-loading website, clear messaging, and easy-to-find contact information. It might seem like a lot, but you will notice that these elements are coming together very harmoniously once you start.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Let’s talk about another obvious one! A part of SEO is to make sure that your website is updated regularly, but many other SEO elements might interest you. SEO is the practice of making your website more visible through online search. An effective SEO strategy makes sure that your website shows up better when people search for information. It must be related to your industry on search engines. SEO is one of the most cost-effective and powerful marketing strategies. If you’re not confident with doing it yourself, you can always hire a firm to do it for you.
Social Media
As a health coach, social media is where you would be providing varied content in the areas of health and wellness, or share insights on areas that make you unique as a coach. In addition to selling yourself, on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Linked In, or Twitter, you want to be informative and conversational.
- Facebook Groups: If your target demographic is on Facebook, then great! Closed Facebook groups are great places to build community. You can engage with your audience and have conversations with many potential clients and even organize and run events from these groups.
- Facebook Live: Make a plan of what you will talk about, and go for it! Facebook Live is a great way to reach many people interested in health and wellness.
- Facebook Ads: A more “advanced” strategy would be paid marketing on Facebook. Facebook Ads could be very beneficial for your business if you are super clear about who you serve, know what your target audience wants if you have an automated marketing system in place, and have a dedicated monthly marketing budget. Whether it is brand awareness, list building, or promotion paid marketing is a great tool to effectively reach your goals!
Guest Blog Posts
Blog posts are a great way to communicate with your target audience if you like writing! A guest blog is basically where you write a blog post that gets posted on someone else’s site. For this strategy to work, you want to find the owners of blogs that people who are interested in health and wellness read. You want to share your best stuff- and you want to get them published where there is a lot of traffic.
Get booked on Podcasts
Being a guest on a health and wellness Podcast might suit you more if you’re better at “talking it up” rather than writing. Make sure to introduce yourself well, and talk about your services and offerings in the most engaging way possible.
Webinars
Speaking is the cheapest and fastest way to build and grow your business, so if speaking is one of your strengths, you should use it to your advantage. Webinars are a great opportunity for those who are focusing on marketing their health coaching business online. You can grow your client list, create many meaningful connections, and sell your products to multiple people in one session!
Email Marketing
Sending regular emails to contacts and clients is an amazing way to remind yourself of your clients and convert those on the fence about your services. Email Marketing might sound outdated, but it is still the highest-converting form of digital marketing, so don’t underestimate it! As long as your content provides relevant and relevant information, there is no reason why you shouldn’t succeed with this strategy! Don’t forget to find a balance with your emailing as over-communicating might turn people off.
Digital Advertising
There are many digital advertising versions; pay-per-click ads on Google, social media ads, display advertising, and much more. Digital advertising works best for specific lead-generation promotions. Facebook and Google are the largest online advertising options, and they have easy-to-understand tutorials for those who are new to the world of digital advertising. This strategy is meant to drive higher volumes of traffic to key pages on your site, and it could do wonders for your business if you use it right!
CONCLUSION
As a health coach, you’re surrounded by an overwhelming amount of options when it comes to digital strategies to grow your business. You need to decide which options work best for you and your clientele, and for that, you need to do your research! Who is your target audience? What do they like to see on their social media channels? How do they respond to ads? Do they attend webinars? Once you have answers, you have the keys needed to see tremendous growth!
