Remote Coaching: The Pros and Cons

Recently, remote coaching services have exploded in popularity.

While it may sound like a dream—working from anywhere with complete control over your schedule—like anything, remote coaching has both benefits and tradeoffs.

If success to you means having a flexible schedule and working remotely, and you don’t mind spending time acquiring clients through social media and email marketing, then it might be a great path for you!

But if 1:1 connection and those little moments in the gym are what light you up, and you like having structure to your days, then ask yourself if coaching online is really going to bring you fulfillment. 

And how much can a self-employed remote coach make? 

While it’s typically a bit lower than in-person coaching, as clients will still need to find a separate gym to train in, it’s possible to make a great living as a remote coach (with patience and consistency as you grow your business).

If you have 40 clients paying $250 per month, this gives you $10,000 per month. 

Because you work for yourself, you take home the full amount (minus any business expenses).

That’s $100,000 in annual revenue.
