#240: Before You Build Your Coaching Website… Do This First

When I first started my coaching business, one of the first things I did was build a website.I thought having a website would make my business look legitimate.So I bought the domain, started designing the pages, and planned to send people there.But what I didn’t realize at the time was this:A website only works when the foundation behind it is clear.Without the right messaging, niche, and copy, a beautiful website won’t bring you clients.In this episode, I’m sharing two of the biggest mistakes I see coaches make when building their website — mistakes that can cost thousands of dollars and months of frustration.If you're thinking about building a website (or already have one), this episode will help you make sure it actually works.In this episode we talk about:Why many coaches build their website too earlyThe real purpose of a coaching websiteWhy copy should come before designThe messaging mistake that makes websites confusingWhy nobody will visit your website unless you promote itThe two foundational things every coaching website needs🔗 Links MentionedWebsite https://elevatelifecoaching.orgFree Resource: 7-Step Roadmap to Build Your Coaching Business & Get ClientsYouTube ChannelMarketing, But Easier for coachesDrop me a line and share your thoughts!Meet Your Host: Hey, I’m Michelle — The coaches’ coach.
