Health Coaches: 10 Must-Know Strategies to Attract More Clients & Grow Faster!

Why New Clients Matter (and Why You Might Be Struggling to Get Them)

You could be the best health coach in the world, but if you’re not bringing in new clients consistently, your business is in trouble. Many coaches think that being good at what they do is enough—that clients will just show up. That’s a costly mistake.

Your success depends on marketing. Not random social media posts or hoping for referrals, but a proven, strategic approach that keeps new clients coming in like clockwork. Let’s break it down step by step.

1. The Fastest Way to Get Clients: Speak & Network

Nothing builds trust faster than speaking in front of people. It positions you as the expert and attracts clients who already see you as credible. Here’s how:

  • Host workshops on nutrition, fitness, or stress management—online or in person.
  • Speak at wellness events, corporate health programs, or local community gatherings.
  • Network with other professionals (gyms, therapists, dietitians) to build referral partnerships.

Make it easy for attendees to take action—offer a free consultation, exclusive discount, or valuable resource they can download.

2. Use Newsletters to Stay on Their Radar

People won’t always sign up right away, but they might later—if you stay in touch. A well-crafted newsletter builds that relationship.

  • Send weekly or bi-weekly emails with actionable health tips, success stories, and Q&A sections.
  • Make it conversational. No one wants a boring newsletter—write like you’re talking to a friend.
  • Encourage referrals by adding a ‘Share with a Friend’ button in every email.

This keeps you top of mind so when they’re ready to commit, they think of you first.

3. Never Rely on Just One Marketing Method

One of the biggest mistakes health coaches make is putting all their eggs in one basket—whether it’s social media, word of mouth, or paid ads. Smart marketing means diversifying:

  • Digital Marketing: Facebook Ads, Google Ads, SEO, and blog content.
  • Traditional Marketing: Direct mail, local newspaper ads, and postcards.
  • Strategic Collaborations: Partner with influencers, gyms, and wellness businesses.

Different people respond to different approaches—using multiple methods ensures you’re reaching them all.

4. Leverage Referrals & Word-of-Mouth the Right Way

Most coaches don’t ask for referrals properly. They wait and hope clients will spread the word. Instead, make it easy and rewarding:

  • Offer incentives for clients who refer friends (free sessions, discounts, exclusive content).
  • Make referring effortless. Provide a simple referral link or a “Refer a Friend” button.
  • Feature success stories. When potential clients see real transformations, they’re more likely to reach out.

People trust recommendations—use that to your advantage.

5. Direct Response Marketing: Get Clients to Act NOW

Most marketing fails because it’s too vague. You must give people a reason to act immediately. That’s where direct response marketing comes in:

  • Offer a free consultation, but with urgency (“Only 5 spots left this month!”).
  • Give away a valuable resource (e.g., “Download my free 7-Day Meal Plan”)—in exchange for their email.
  • Use limited-time promotions to push people to take action (“Sign up before Friday and get a free coaching session!”).

Every marketing message should have a clear, direct call to action (CTA)—no exceptions.

6. Position Yourself as the Go-To Expert

People want to work with the best. The more credibility you build, the easier it is to attract clients. Ways to boost your authority:

  • Write a book or eBook (even a short one helps!).
  • Start a podcast or YouTube channel where you share advice.
  • Contribute guest articles to respected health and wellness sites.

Being seen as an expert eliminates price resistance—clients are happy to pay more when they see you as the best.

7. Smart Online Marketing: Get in Front of Clients Every Day

People spend hours online daily. If you’re not showing up, you’re invisible. Use these online strategies:

  • SEO: Optimize your website so you rank on Google when people search for a health coach.
  • Social Media Ads: Facebook and Instagram ads let you target ideal clients directly.
  • Guest Blogging & Partnerships: Writing for popular wellness blogs or teaming up with fitness influencers drives leads to you.

8. Events & Challenges: The “Slippery Slope” to More Clients

Getting people to take small, low-risk actions leads them naturally to becoming paying clients. This is the “slippery slope” principle in action.

  • Host a free 5-day health challenge. Once engaged, they’re more likely to sign up for coaching.
  • Run live or virtual workshops. Teach something valuable, then offer a deeper coaching program.
  • Use online groups. A private Facebook group builds trust and engagement, making it easy to offer coaching services.

9. Track & Measure Everything—Stop Guessing!

Most coaches don’t track their marketing efforts. Big mistake. If you don’t know what’s working, you’re wasting time and money.

  • Measure where your leads come from. Are they from ads, referrals, speaking engagements?
  • Track conversion rates. How many inquiries turn into paying clients?
  • Double down on what works. Ditch what doesn’t.

When you treat marketing like an investment, you ensure it keeps delivering results.

10. Common Mistakes That Keep You Stuck

Avoid these client-killing mistakes:

  • Relying on only one method (e.g., only posting on Instagram).
  • Waiting for clients to come to you instead of actively marketing.
  • Failing to follow up. Many leads need multiple touchpoints before they commit.
  • Not having clear CTAs. If people don’t know what to do next, they won’t do anything.
