With the rise in prevalence of GLP-1s, the online coaching landscape is evolving. Your clients know about them, and some are either interested or already taking them, so it would be naïve to ignore the impact that these medications will have on your business. The good news is, people still need coaches, including and especially those who are taking weight loss medications. In this episode, Jill shares some insights on how to stay relevant in the GLP-1 era, including the need to clarify your niche and the unique value you provide, and how to support your clients in the ways that complement their medical weight loss.   Join the Profitable Online Coach! jillfitfree.com/poc-2025   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

In this episode, Jill discusses the concept of timely lead magnets and their importance in launching. There are two types of lead magnets you'll need to know—evergreen and timely—with different purposes. Timely lead magnets especially can create high-value experiences for potential clients that will get them eager to invest in your coaching. When running your timely lead magnet, you have to make sure your audience knows just how valuable your offering is and keep them engaged so when the time comes to sell, everyone knows it's coming and is excited to make the purchase.   Join the Profitable Online Coach! jillfitfree.com/poc-2025   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

With so many voices and differing information crowding the online space, feeling burned out is only a matter of time. Today, Jill emphasizes the need for focus, the value of choosing the right mentor, and the significance of sticking to a chosen business model in order to combat those feelings of overwhelm. Not every strategy will be right for you, so it's a good idea to ask yourself if it's the right piece of information for you and if it's the right time to start implementing.    Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Showing up online is one of the most common fears for new business owners. While it certainly can feel scary at first, the good news is that posting on social media is simply a skill that can be developed through practice and exposure. In this episode, Jill addresses the concerns you might have of judgment from peers and the fear of criticism. The best way to move forward is by sharing your personal experiences as a way to connect with your audience, and starting small with support from your friends and family as potential first clients.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

We all know the detrimental effects of all or nothing thinking when it comes to health and fitness, so why do we think that way when it comes to our businesses? All or nothing typically ends up being nothing, so if you're starting an online business, it's paramount to take messy action and overcome perfectionism. Expecting perfection from yourself will only lead to burn out and abandonment. By taking immediate action rather than waiting for the perfect moment, you will always find yourself closer to your goals. Progress is always better than perfection.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

The most common reason people quit their online business has to do with their mindset. Entrepreneurship is difficult, and if you can't get your mind right, you're likely to give up before you can get going. In a new Mindset Mini-series, Jill is discussing some of the most common online business mindset challenges you'll be facing, and how to work through them. Today, she's discussing impostor syndrome and how to build confidence through action, take ownership of your business journey, and recognize that your past successes can be a foundation for future growth.     Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

In this episode, Jill discusses the challenges of follower and customer engagement in the online space, exploring the reasons behind low engagement rates. The simple truth is: no one is paying as much attention to your business as you are, and sometimes it can feel disheartening. That attention differential is why it's so important to build a strong brand, creating compelling offers, and manage your expectations. Jill provides practical strategies for improving engagement, including gamification, creating a trusting environment, and the necessity of ongoing communication with clients.    Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Should you be welcoming your new followers on Instagram? In Jill's experience, no. Messages like that can often feel pushy and transactional. Instead, she advocates for building genuine connections through subtle engagement strategies, emphasizing the importance of understanding social media dynamics and fostering relationships over immediate sales. When you focus on creating a welcoming environment without the pressure of sales, you'll ultimately end up with more sustainable business relationships.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

How do you stand out in a crowded online space? There are hundreds of strategies to try if you want to stand out online, but if you want to do this for the long haul, your mindset might be more important. More than anything else, defining your values, operating from a place of abundance, and maintaining integrity and honesty in business will set you miles apart from the crowd. Empathy and understanding in coaching are significant, and can contribute to long-term success and a positive reputation in the industry.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Training, coaching, and teaching are all very different skillsets that you'll have to learn as you run your online fitness business. In this episode, Jill emphasizes the importance of understanding these differences if you're looking to enhance your business models. Online coaching focuses on behavior change and transformation, while virtual training is more about providing workout plans and accountability, and teaching is the least customized of the three but requires communication and broadcasting skills. Even if you don't have the most experience with any of these skillsets, the good news is that each one of them is something you can learn and perfect through time and repetition.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

You should never feel bad about your relationship with a coach. It's an obvious idea, but there are still people who get misled and end up hiring a bad or phony coach. So, how do you know for sure that the person you're about to give your money to is someone trustworthy, who has the expertise to help you, and can guarantee your success no matter what? In this episode, Jill highlights a few red flags to look for when you're recruiting a business coach.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

In this episode, Jill discusses the complexities of pricing strategies for fitness and wellness professionals. There are many people who will tell you to “charge the most” for your services, but premium prices need to be set for premium products, and if you're just getting started with online coaching, that probably isn't you yet. Jill advocates for starting with lower ticket offers as a means to gain experience and social proof, and gradually increasing your rates as you build confidence and results.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

In this episode, Jill explains good practices when it comes to interacting with busy people. It's important to network, especially if you are just starting your coaching business, and talking to people and peers who are doing the same thing as you. However, it's also important to take into account that that person might have a lot of things on their plate and it's smart not to take it personally.    “When someone is really busy, for them to give their time to you or their energy to you – especially for free – they need to feel like it's worth it.” – Jill Coleman   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Call-out culture on social media is both rampant and complex. Should you be joining in? In general, public accountability is a good thing, but it's important to explore the nuances and motivations behind it before you start calling people out. Jill always recommend aligning your actions with your personal values and to consider the potential impact on your audience.

A few people in your audience, especially beginners, will prefer to be part of large groups. More advanced business owners, however, most likely will want more customized feedback and a more high-touch connection with the coach. In this episode, Jill teaches you how to create what is called a Coaching Pod, a small group of clients who might be part of a specific niche and needs more accountability.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Marketing and sales are only one part of starting an online business. Once you get clients in the door, it's just as important for your business that they feel valued and not like they're just a number to you, because when people feel like they don't matter, they end up giving up. As your business grows and your time and energy become even more limited, making clients feel important gets even trickier.

In entrepreneurship, talking about money is far from taboo. So many people are raised with an aversion to talking openly about money and often tie their income or ability to make money to their self-worth. If you really want to get good at online business, you have to learn to get clinical with your feelings about money and realize that just because the client is the one with the money, doesn't mean they hold more power than you do. Leveling up your money mindset if the first step in figuring out how to make lots of money with your online business.   (This episode is a replay from June 2023.)   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Choosing a niche is a crucial part of running an online business, but are you locked into your niche forever once you choose one? As a human being, change is inevitable, which means as you run your personal brand, your interests and ideas will naturally begin to evolve. Even JillFit wasn't always a fitness business brand—it started as a fat loss company. You will change over time, and that means your business and your niche might, too. As long as you include your audience in your personal journey and build a solid foundation of trust, you can always change your niche.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

You might have heard of a sales technique called a Video Sales Letter (or VSL), but what actually is a VSL and what's the best way to use one? Jill is diving deep into the concept of VSLs and explains their structure, purpose, and effectiveness in making sales. Generally, the higher friction your potential clients face before deciding to work with you, the higher chance you have to convert a lead into a sale. With a VSL, you can be increasing engagement, qualifying your leads, and making sales with a lot less front-facing work.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

In this episode, Jill breaks down exactly how to create and launch a beta group coaching program—ideal for first-time course creators who want to test their signature method, get real client results, and generate social proof before doing a full launch. She explains why beta testing should only be used for brand-new offers, how to structure the program, and how to attract the right clients using clear, specific niche language. It's the best way to keep things low-tech and low-pressure while still delivering a high-value experience.    Get the Six Figure Fitness Program: https://www.jillfitprograms.com/six-figure-fitness   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Growing your online coaching business requires an email list, and in order to grow your email list, you'll need a compelling lead magnet—aka, a freebie. But giving something away for free isn't always enough to interest someone. Your lead magnet needs to have a ton of value and helps your potential client start to solve a problem they already know they have. Today, Jill shares the types of lead magnets that do best, and teaches you how to message your offer in a way that ensures your leads understand the value of what they're opting in to.    Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

There are a million little tasks you could be doing in your business, and the only way to get clarity is just by doing them. Running a business requires a growth focused mindset, and the ability to manage your expectations, get clinical about results, and to iterate over and over again.

We all know that a steady diet of junk food will leave us feeling uneasy and sick, and it's no different in business. Today, Jill shares the concept of a 'junk food business,' contrasting it with the idea of building a sustainable brand. She emphasizes the importance of authenticity, integrity, and long-term relationships in business, and warns against quick sales tactics that may compromise values—they'll never get you where you want to go.

In this episode, Jill discusses the nuances of following up with potential clients after sales calls. When you have a sales call that goes nowhere, it isn't always an issue of the wrong price—rather, your potential client doesn't yet see the value of what you bring to the table. No one is great at sales calls right off the bat. It may take a few reps and a few new follow-up strategies, but with time and practice, you can start closing sales calls like a pro.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Posting reels on Instagram is one of the best things you can do for the growth of your business. Of course, a big following is meaningless if you don't have a next step for your audience to take, but you are going to need some eyes on you in order to sell your products and services. Social media content creation doesn't need to be a huge deal or a paralysis-causing event, so in this episode, Jill is sharing her personal social media content planning strategies for maximum connection, engagement, and growth.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

You can't build a business on defense—if you want to make sales, you have to be proactive about getting them.

You only need to be one step ahead of the next person if your goal is to help them, but if you want to stand out of the crowd in a saturated online coaching space, you'll need to become an expert. There are three types of experts: the researcher, the results getter, and the role model. You're probably already one of those three, but in order to get to a level 2 expert, you need to develop your own systems and frameworks.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Posting on social media is a non-negotiable aspect of growing an online business and the faster you accept that it's simply a part of the process, the better you'll get posting regularly. Social media is the best tool business owners have for brand building, and you'll find greater success if you create posts to attract the audience you want, rather than posting to impress your peers. No one is an expert on content creation right away—it'll take some reps before you really feel confident—but the only way to get better is just by doing and not overthinking it.    Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of human connection and learning. People want to follow along with and be included in someone's story, so naturally, storytelling should be a large part of the content you share.
