People don't buy "an hour of coaching"; they buy a result. Before you set up a booking page, answer five questions in writing: - **Outcome:** what will the client have at the end? A plan, a decision, a reviewed portfolio, a stronger resume. - **Client:** who is it for, and who is it not for? - **Length:** how much time does that outcome need? - **Format:** video or voice, and what happens before and after the call. - **Limits:** what you don't cover. If a topic needs a licensed professional, such as medical, legal or financial advice, say so. Put those answers on your offer page. They do much of the selling for you and attract clients who fit. Here is how that reads as a short offer, as a labelled example: "Resume Review Call. 45 minutes on video for mid-career professionals changing industries. Send your resume and the job you want before the call; you'll leave with a marked-up resume and a list of three changes to make first. I don't write resumes for you, and I don't give legal advice on contracts." Every line answers a question a client would otherwise have to ask. ## Should you sell single sessions, programs or per-minute calls? There are four common ways to package coaching, and each suits a different kind of client: Model | How clients pay | Best for | Where to sell it | Single session | A set price when they book | One clear question or a deep dive | A store.fan coaching call | Ongoing program | A recurring fee, or weekly booked sessions | Clients working toward a bigger goal | A store.fan membership, or weekly sessions on hello.fan | Group session | A price per seat | Common questions at a lower price point | A store.fan webinar | Per-minute live call | By the minute, only while connected | Quick questions and drop-in advice | hello.fan | A practical start is one single-session offer. Learn what clients ask for, then add a program for the ones who want to keep going. When you do build a program, give it a shape clients can picture. Labelled example: four weekly sessions, each with one focus (where you are, the plan, the first attempt, the review), plus short written notes after each call. A fixed start and end makes the program easier to sell than open-ended coaching, and the review session is a natural moment to offer the next step. ## How much should you charge for a coaching session? Work backward from your time. Decide what an hour of your focused time is worth, then add the prep and follow-up each session needs: a 60-minute call with 30 minutes of preparation and notes is really 90 minutes of work. Then check the number against the value of the outcome and what clients in your niche expect to pay. Two labelled examples from real prices: - **Example, store.fan:** a 60-minute session at $120 on Starter ($24 a month at the launch price) has a 0% platform fee, so the $120 goes to your Stripe account before Stripe's processing fees. On Free Plus ($0 a month), store.fan keeps 30%, or $36, and you get $84. - **Example, hello.fan:** at 200 credits a minute for video (100 credits = $1), a 20-minute call costs the client 4,000 credits, or $40. You keep $24 at 60%, or $28 at 70% with a linked store.fan shop on a paid plan. Raise your price for new clients as your calendar fills. Our guide on [how much to charge for video calls](https://thebestplatform.com/blog/how-much-to-charge-for-video-calls/) and the [hello.fan earnings calculator](https://thebestplatform.com/hello-fan/creators/#calculator) help you test numbers. ## How do you set up booking, payment and video in one place? The do-it-yourself setup is a scheduling link, a separate payment link and a video app. It works, but you end up matching payments to bookings by hand, sending video links yourself and chasing people who booked without paying. A store that sells coaching as a product removes those steps. We make store.fan and hello.fan, the two platforms in this guide, so read our recommendations with that in mind. store.fan's 1:1 coaching calls are built for exactly this: you sell the call from your link-in-bio shop, it syncs with Google Calendar and adds an automatic Google Meet link, and the payment goes to your own Stripe account. The inbox and customer CRM keep client messages and details together, so you can see who you've worked with before. Details are on the [store.fan coaching calls](https://store.fan/features/coaching-calls?utm_source=thebestplatform.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=blog-sell-coaching-sessions-online&utm_content=body) page. Our [best platform for online coaches](https://thebestplatform.com/best/coaches/) guide shows how coaches can use store.fan and hello.fan together. ## When do live per-minute calls make more sense? Fixed sessions suit planned work, but some clients only have a quick question, and a 60-minute booking is too much for them. That's where per-minute calls fit. On hello.fan, you set your own per-minute prices for video, voice and chat, from 50 to 5,000 credits a minute. Clients pay per started 15 seconds, only while you're both connected, and ringing is free. Working hours switch you online and offline automatically, booked sessions inside your hours are paid up front, and weekly sessions repeat at the same time every week, which suits ongoing clients. Live translated subtitles in 30 languages let you coach people who speak another language, and nothing is recorded. You keep 60% of what clients pay, or 70% with a linked store.fan shop on a paid plan. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe from $100 after a quick ID check, and each earning is ready 14 days after it is made.

First clients tend to come from people who already know your work. Make it easy for them to see how you think and to take the next step: - **Teach in public.** Post short breakdowns of problems your clients face, and show your reasoning, not just tips. - **Name the offer.** "Resume Review Call" is easier to remember than "coaching". - **Pin it.** Keep the offer at the top of your profile and in your link in bio. - **Answer DMs with the link.** When someone asks a question that needs a session, offer one. - **Share results with permission.** A real client's words, shared with their consent, say more than any claim you make. Never invent them. For more ways to get people to your link, see [how to promote your link in bio](https://thebestplatform.com/blog/promote-your-link-in-bio/). ## How do you run a session clients book again? - **Before:** send two or three intake questions so you start the call already knowing the goal. - **During:** agree on the agenda in the first minutes, keep to time and end with clear action steps. - **After:** send a short summary of what you agreed and suggest a sensible next step, such as a follow-up in a month. - **Boundaries:** start and end on time, keep client conversations in your inbox rather than your personal number, and know how to end a call that goes wrong. On hello.fan, your phone number stays private and block and report are in every call. Keep a short note on each client after the call: their goal, what you suggested and what they planned to try. When they book again, read it first. Remembering the details is one of the simplest reasons clients come back. Tip: write your rescheduling policy on the offer page before your first booking. Deciding it in the moment, with a client waiting, is much harder.

It depends on what you coach and where you live. General coaching often has no license requirement, but therapy, medical, legal and financial advice can be regulated. Check the rules where you and your clients are, and describe your experience honestly. ### How long should an online coaching session be? As long as the outcome needs. Short calls suit one focused question, and longer sessions suit planning or reviews; 30, 45 and 60 minutes are common lengths. On hello.fan, per-minute calls let a client talk for just a few minutes. ### What should I do if a client doesn't show up? Decide your policy before it happens and write it on your offer page, such as one free reschedule with notice. Taking payment when the client books means the time is already paid for, which makes a missed call less painful. ### Can clients book calls with me on hello.fan? Yes. Booked sessions inside your working hours are paid up front, and weekly sessions repeat at the same time every week. Clients can also call whenever you're online and pay by the minute, only while you're both connected. how to sell coaching sessions online sell coaching sessions online online coaching packages how to price coaching sessions paid coaching calls Published by Premiums Only LLC, the company behind hello.fan and store.fan.
