If you’re looking to get the word out about what you do as a health coach, and you want to build your business, hosting online challenges are a great option!

Online challenges are effective because you can dramatically expand your reach, create a buzz of excitement, and you also get to establish yourself as an authority.

One mistake I see health coaches make is offering only one way for people to work with them. Offering a 3 or 6-month coaching program is fine, but most people need to know and trust you before they decide to shell out their hard earned money.

By hosting a carefully crafted online challenge, you get to establish rapport and build relationships over a short period of time. Once people have a chance to sample what you do, they are much more likely to sign up for a longer-term program.

Here are 3 ways you can grow your coaching business with online challenge groups.

A carefully crafted online challenge can help you:

1.  Get new clients

The best part about doing an online challenge is that you get to introduce your targeted audience to one of your other coaching programs.

If they’ve signed up for your challenge, they’re looking for help with something. A low-cost, low-risk program option is the perfect lead-in to your other offerings. After 30 days, you will lead participants to a program where they can get additional support from you

2. Build awareness about what you do as a health coach and create a buzz about your business.

You can give you business a jump start by having this type of event to promote. Many coaches aren’t sure where to begin to get the word out about what they do. Hosting a challenge solves that problem and makes it easy.

3.  Expand your reach – you can have participants from all over the world, and they can invite their friends.  Awesome!

Having a community of support within the challenge group is huge. People will feel supported by you, but they’ll have the added bonus of support from other people in the group!

If you’d like to take more of your business online, this is a great way to get started.

Pick a theme for your challenge and decide what topics you’d like to cover during the 30 days. You can either create a challenge from scratch, or  purchase one that’s all set and ready to go.

The 30-Day Jumpstart is a done-for-you 30-Day program that comes with everything you need to promote, launch and facilitate a successful online challenge.

Online challenges are a fun and engaging way to motivate a large group of people to make simple, healthy lifestyle changes. When people receive great support from you, they will be looking to you to help them after the challenge is over.
