Why Video Works for Coaches
Coaching is intimate work, and clients buy trust first. Video transmits tone, micro-expressions, and empathy in ways text cannot. When prospects hear your voice and see your eyes, rapport begins before the first discovery call.
Why Video Works for Coaches
Short videos ignite curiosity and spread quickly; long-form content nurtures understanding and readiness to commit. Use short clips to open loops and longer sessions to close them with frameworks, case stories, and actionable guidance.
Design Your Signature Video Strategy
Define who you help, the words they actually use, and the promise you can stand behind. A career coach speaks to stalled promotions differently than a wellness coach addresses burnout. Clarity makes every video more relevant.
Design Your Signature Video Strategy
Pick three to five pillars—such as Mindset Reframes, Practical Tools, Client Journeys, and Coach Q&A. These pillars ensure variety while staying focused. Ask followers which pillar they want more of, and let responses guide your queue.
Deliver one problem, one reframing insight, and one simple next step in under a minute. Use a strong hook, a surprising example, and a clear invitation to comment or save. Short breakthroughs create momentum and build daily authority.
Creative Formats That Convert
Production on a Coach’s Schedule
Your Five-Minute Smartphone Studio
Natural light, a quiet room, a simple lapel mic, and a stable tripod deliver clean results. Place your camera at eye level, frame from mid-chest up, and smile before pressing record. Ask followers if they want your gear checklist.
Batching That Respects Your Energy
Outline six scripts on Friday, record three on Monday, and three on Wednesday. Keep water nearby, stretch between takes, and celebrate small wins. Share your batching ritual and ask your audience to vote on next week’s priorities.
Editing for Clarity and Warmth
Trim the first seconds, add captions, and weave in subtle on-screen prompts. Keep your brand colors gentle and your cuts purposeful. Invite viewers to suggest segments they’d love to see expanded into deeper tutorials.
Hooks, Captions, and Retention Cues
Open with a specific moment your audience recognizes, like missing a promotion or plateauing at mile three. Use captions to aid silent scrollers and pattern breaks to re-engage. Ask viewers to share their moment in the comments.
YouTube, Shorts, and Repurposing
Turn one 10-minute tutorial into a long-form YouTube video, three Shorts, and a community post. Link related videos to build session time. Encourage subscribers to ring the bell and tell you which chapter helped most.
Email and Community Amplification
Embed your videos in a weekly newsletter and in your private community. Add one reflective question and a simple next step. Invite readers to hit reply with a challenge you can address in next week’s video.
Watch for comments that mirror your language, DMs asking about next steps, and discovery calls referencing a specific video. Create a simple sheet to log which topics consistently lead to qualified conversations.
Measuring What Matters
A leadership coach published a two-minute reframing on conflict. One manager shared it internally, sparking a department workshop. Within a month, twelve leaders booked sessions. Ask your audience where they shared your message today.
Measuring What Matters
Ethical, Authentic Persuasion
Secure written consent before sharing any client details, anonymize sensitive facts, and favor composite stories when needed. Explain your standards on camera to model trust. Ask viewers what ethical questions they want addressed.
Ethical, Authentic Persuasion
Relax your shoulders, breathe, and speak as if guiding a client. Imperfections humanize you. Share a moment you stumbled and what it taught you. Invite commenters to share how they ground themselves before filming.
