I already touched on this subject a few times before.
So today I want to update it for coaches out there.
Because.
Many of you want to transfer your private tennis coaching business from offline to online.
Other coaches.
Are looking for coaching jobs.
Either way.
You can use this information I will share as an outline when getting started.
So.
Let's get into how it should look.
First, start building your email list.
The online tennis coaching funnel starts with the email list.
Actually.
Many coaches don't focus on building their email list like they should.
And this isn't difficult.
Just start capturing the email list of all your students and your prospective ones as well.
Offer a freebie in exchange for them signing up.
Another thing.
You don't need a huge email list to make good passive income on the backend of your coaching funnel.
All you need is to build a solid relationship with about 200 to 500 subscribers.
Start a free newsletter.
This is the most important part of your online sales coaching funnel.
That means.
Build it around your free newsletter.
Give great content 3 to 4 times a month, don't promote anything during this time.
Then.
At the end of your email campaign.
Make an offer.
Which brings us to the next part of your coaching funnel.
Become a tennis affiliate.
To monetize your free newsletter.
You must become a tennis affiliate and offer services and products that your subscribers would be interested in.
I have to stress this fact too.
Less than 5% of all tennis coaches are using affiliate marketing right now.
Which is sad, and this is why I am always stressing this to the coaches that I advise.
Stop leaving all this passive income on the backend of your coaching funnel.

Okay, moving on.
Start a mail-order drop-shipping business.
This is a creative way to generate profits for your coaching business.
Because.
In your online coaching funnel.
You want to be using a business model that is bringing you multiple streams of income eventually.
Most coaches only have 1 source of income, active coaching on the court.
Anyway.
Back to the mail-order drop-shipping business.
It's basically like offline direct mail.
But.
Instead of using postage and bulk mail.
You can use email marketing and create a free online store or a cheap one and drop-ship the items to the buyers!
Imagine that.
No inventory, at all, and you can use the purchase money to fulfill the order!
Which is why.
Many tennis clubs and coaches should be doing this, as well as brick-and-mortar tennis shops.
Again.
This is all about building your email list, and then building a great relationship with that list, to generate multiple streams of income from the same list!
Make sense right?
Now.
Go grab a pen and notebook and create your online coaching funnel using this post as a guide.
Mind map the outline for it, then brainstorm ideas on how you want it to look.
Also.
Funnel hack other successful coaches and proven sales funnel online, to learn all that you can about them.
Since I don't want to make this post too long.
I'll stop there.
Oh, yeah.
Learn how to write direct response email copy and ads.
Create a swipe file and test it out in your email campaigns.
Of course.
The more you practice, the better you will get at doing it.
