Why Does Copywriting for Coaches Matter?

In a world flooded with constant sales pitching, your potential clients find themselves navigating through a barrage of offers, multiple times a day. Great copy is the secret to breaking through this constant stream and getting people to stop scrolling or to click that ‘Book A Discovery Call’ button on your website.

Copywriting has a job in your coaching business: to articulate the aspirations and desires of your potential clients and then offer the packages that align with that. It’s the bridge that connects their dreams to the transformative power of your coaching program. A delicate dance of words, where every sentence weaves a narrative that resonates with the profound impact your services can have on their lives. 

However, copywriting is not a magic wand. It won’t single-handedly sell your coaching packages. It possesses the unique ability to elevate your coach brand above the noise. Think of it as the charismatic storyteller at a noisy party, drawing people in with tales that captivate and connect.

Great coaching programs are the backbone of your business, but effective copywriting acts as a magnet, pulling in prospects and converting them into not just clients but believers in the potential for positive change that your coaching offers. SEO for coaches has an important role in drawing people in and growing your website traffic but without good copywriting those visitors will never turn into clients.

 

 

 

 

But the biggest challenge is to face the blank page (fear of the blank page is real – most of my clients start there) Most of the time this writing block comes from a lack of clarity about what you’re selling and who you’re selling it to. 

 

Once you know the goalposts, have all the information and are familiar with the writing steps, you’ll be able to craft compelling copy for your coaching business.

 

As a coach and small business owner, the most lucrative skill you can learn is copywriting. Mastering copywriting as a coach will help you write persuasive sales pages, enthralling about me pages and blog posts that turn into discovery calls booked.

 

Copywriting is the gift that keeps giving. 

 

Put in the work to get good at it, and you can rest assured that your marketing efforts will yield good results. No matter what you’re creating in your marketing, good copywriting will supercharge it, whether it’s:

– a tagline

– an email

– your offers page on your website

– a social media post

– a blog post

– a video script

– ad copy

 

Good copy is the key to converting viewers and visitors into engaged users and customers.  

 

 

 

 

 

Here are 5 important skills to master if you want to become great at copywriting for coaches:

 

1. ICA Research as a basis for good copywriting

   The first step is to create your persona a.k.a ideal client avatar. This is an individual that embodies all the properties of your target audience. However although fictional to some extent, it needs to be based on real experience, what you know about your clients through engaging with them and listening.
   
   

2. Call to actions

   
   The second important skill is CTA (call to action) messaging. If you cannot inspire your audience to take the next step through a call to action, no amount of traffic can save your business.  Get good at writing and testing CTA’s – they are the key to a growing client base and the only way to get your audience and traffic to buy from you and/or take the next step towards becoming a client or a warmer lead. Adapting the CTA to the platform/medium you’re using is also important.

3. Intros

   
   Introductions are probably the first thing you should learn how to write in terms of priority. Whether you’re writing a blog post or a sales page, it’s important to keep people reading. If you lose them in the first few lines, you don’t stand a chance of converting them. So focus on getting good at peaking interest and curiosity with a strong introduction and you will have learnt how to retain attention – the first step towards getting more clients.

4.  Storytelling
   

   Storytelling is a very important skill to learn – it will help you write better introductions, write emails that make people reply and write social media posts that stop people scrolling. Storytelling is not different for coaches or businesses,  learn how to write and tell stories. Humans are wired to listen to stories, we can’t help but get drawn in.

5. Persuasion

   The skill of persuasion is key to getting your audience to self-identify and say “oh h/she/they’re talking about me. It helps warm up your leads through the copy to bring them closer to making a purchase. Aligned with in-depth knowledge of your target audience, persuasion skills are key to conversion. When you learn how to write in a way that makes people understand why you’re the best match for them, you can sell through any medium, blog, social, website etc.

 If you don’t want to write your own copy or need support while you learn here are a few options to consider when outsourcing copywriting for coaches.

 

 

 

 

         Bonus: Options to hire a copywriter for coaches

1.  Fiverr.com – bottom tier

   
   You can hire writers on Fiverr, but beware, it won’t cost you a fiver. You can either go cheap and give the same job to 3 to 5 people so you find the best quality for your budget or pick proven and more expensive people or agencies.

2. Content VA

   
   A content VA is a nice in-between. Not a professional copywriter but a multitasker who knows a bit about copy and can dish out your first draft quickly and efficiently. With feedback and a good brief, a content VA can produce a pretty nice copy, given that you pick an experienced one with a proven track record.

3.  Experienced copywriter for coaches
