#1. Group and 1:1 Holistic Weight Loss Coaching
Weight loss is the #1 thing clients seek out holistic health and nutrition coaches help for. If you are not offering weight loss coaching, you are missing out on HUGE opportunity and clients.
To maximize your time, effort and revenue, it is best to run in person or online GROUP weight loss coaching programs. You can help multiple people in one session. We commend running 4 – 12 week group coaching programs (not drop ins!) for more results and more revenue
You can also compliment your group coaching with personal and 1:1 coaching but this should be sold as packages vs per hour (value RESULTS vs TIME)
Our final verdict…..run a combination of both!
POTENTIAL EARNINGS? $200 – $2000 A PACKAGE
#2. Post Group Coaching Monthly Support & Members site
This is an AMAZING way to get a monthly membership style site up without a ton of expenses, time and tech knowledge while still giving your clients the support they crave AFTER the group coaching program is complete.
This can be done via a private Facebook group that your client’s get access to with a monthly fee or for a duration of a program.
All you need is a smart phone or web cam attached to your desktop so you can stream to your FB group.
POTENTIAL EARNINGS? $7 – $197/Month
#3. Create an Online Course, Program or Challenge
Weight Loss Challenge, Green Smoothie, Water, Vegan, Keto, Paleo, Walking…people love a challenge or program!
Timing? 7 day, 14 day, 28 day, 8 week..it is up to you how long to run for based on the result you are providing in the challenge.
Run with your in person clients PLUS this allow you to bring new people into your biz that don’t have access to your live program in your area.
It takes time to create your online program but once it is done, you can use it again
BONUS- You don’t even have to write your challenge! The done for you challenge like our 28 day Total Body Clean Up Challenge is included as a BONUS in the HWLE Program and start running it right away with clients!
POTENTIAL EARNINGS? $27 – $997
#4. Write an E Book or Sample Meal Plans
Meal plans are ALWAYS as a hot sell health & weight loss industry especially if you have experience in a specific niche such as vegans, vegetarians, Keto, Paleo, GAPS, FODMAPS and more!

#7 -Be a Brand Ambassador for Supplements, workout clothes, equipment
Many health coaches are scared of the idea of affiliate programs and think they are not big enough but if you love any products and are recommending them to your clients, you are marketing for that company so you should get some money back!
Think about it: Protein Powders, supplements, water bottles, cooking equipment, books, timers, etc …how many of these products do you use and get asked about which ones to get.

Health Coaches have sooo much knowledge that goes beyond just coaching a client. Weight loss, how to meal prep, set your kitchen up for success, the power of green smoothies, how to calculate macros…there are sooo many topics!
Like we said earlier, if your clients already love you – they want more from you so give it to them. This can be done via an online platform like Zoom or you can run it live following any of your fitness classes so they are more likely to stay or show up.
