Not Paid What You’re Worth?

Coaching can be one of the most rewarding and lucrative businesses you could start…

But, as you may know, you can’t just be a coach, consultant, expert, or trainer, and make a lot of money.

Your business must be a HIGH TICKET business.

One HUGE problem I see many coaches and consultants face is they don’t know their worth.

As such, they give away free strategy or clarity calls…

And don’t charge enough.

So, in this week’s newsletter you’ll discover how to charge what you’re worth, so you can make more money, and give yourself and your family the lifestyle they deserve.

Why Free Strategy Session Don’t Work

I know a lot of the “gurus” out there swear by giving away free sessions…

And on the surface it makes sense.

If you give away a full session and coach someone to help them achieve part of their goals, they’d be crazy not to work with you long term and pay for your time, right?

WRONG!

In my experience, a high percentage of people who take you up on a free session do so because it’s free.

And if you want to hear a funny story of when I first started out doing marketing consulting for free, you’ll love this video >>

So what’s the best way to close new clients?

I shot you a quick video where you’ll discover:

  • Why free strategy sessions are BAD for positioning
  • Why it’s hard to balance how much value to give in each call
  • How to set up a filter to ensure you only speak with qualified prospects
  • My 4 step qualification process that makes the above filter work, and more!

So you now know why free coaching or consulting is a bad idea, but that’s only half the battle.

Your next problem could be charging too little for your time.

So let’s talk about that.

3 Reasons Why Undercharging Hurts Your Coaching Business

In my opinion, high ticket pricing is the only way to run a business.

Why?

Because low ticket prices create all kinds of issues.

One HUGE problem is your ability to spend money on marketing and advertising.

If your fees are low, there’s no way you can outspend your competitors for clients.

And this is just the beginning.

Here are 3 other reasons why undercharging hurts your coaching business.

  1. A new client doesn’t add much to your bottom line.

    If you’re going after cheap clients with a low cost offer, you’ll likely see a big client turnover as they aren’t very committed.

    You’re constantly having to hunt for new clients but if your margins are low, one client doesn’t make much difference to your business.

    Versus, high ticket clients which could mean an extra few thousand to your business.
  2. Naturally, if one client doesn’t make a huge difference to your business, you need far more clients to make 6 figures.

    Rather than 20 $5K clients to make $100K, you’ll need 200, $500 clients.

    Remember, Business is a game of margins not volume.
  3. The less they pay, the less committed they are, as I mentioned above, but they also value you and your expertise less.

    Versus, high ticket clients who are committed and truly value your time, expertise, and what you have to offer.

    They know real results take time, and they’re not afraid to put in the work to get what they want.

How To Calculate What Your Time Is Worth

No matter how much you want to make per year, your time has a specific value.

If you don’t know what that number is, you’ll likely invest your valuable time into tasks that won’t take you closer to your goals.

Put another way, if you invest your time into a task so you can save $50 an hour, but your time must be worth $200 an hour…

Then you haven’t saved $50. You’ve lost $150, because you could have earned $200 and outsourced the task for $50.

So, if you want to calculate how much your time must be worth in order to hit your income goals…

Click here for a very powerful video on the value of time and charging what you’re worth >>

In the above video, you’ll also discover WHY you may not be charging what you’re worth and more.

How To Know Your Worth and Ask For It

As you saw in the last video, your goal should be to ask for as much as the market is willing to pay.

If your clients are getting value and a good return on investment, then they’ll have no problem paying you what you’re worth.

Price is only a problem in the absence of value.

That’s how I’ve been able to go from charging $5K an hour, to $10K, and now to $25K per hour.

Because they’re not paying for my time, they’re paying for the value I bring to the hour.

Here’s a short clip from High Ticket Mastery™  where I talk about charging what you’re worth and the two common reactions people have when you tell them your price >>


In Closing…

Stay away from free sessions…

Don’t undercharge…

Know what your time must be worth…

And always charge as high as the market is willing to pay

Until next time… go high ticket,

Dan Lok

Checkboxes:

Pros:

  • Diverse Answers: Checkboxes allow for multiple correct options, accommodating nuanced responses.
  • Effective for Concepts: Ideal for assessing understanding of concepts with multiple facets.
  • Flexible Scoring: Instructors can assign partial credit for partially correct answers.

Cons:

  • Complexity: Crafting effective checkboxes questions can be more time-consuming.
  • Ambiguity: It may be challenging to determine the extent of partial credit for complex questions.

Short Answer:

Pros:

  • Open-Ended Reflection: Short answer questions encourage students to provide detailed, open-ended responses, promoting critical thinking.
  • Versatility: Suitable for various subjects, from essays to mathematical problem-solving.

Cons:

  • Subjectivity: Grading short answers can be subjective and time-intensive, as it involves assessing the depth and quality of responses.
  • Varied Lengths: Responses can vary in length, making grading consistency a challenge.

File Upload:

Pros:

  • Multimedia Integration: File uploads enable students to submit diverse forms of work, such as essays, images, or multimedia projects.

Ensure that the questions are clear and concise, avoiding any potential confusion.

Not Automatically Graded:

Step 6: Configure Timing and Completion

If applicable, set a time limit for completing the quiz.

Consider the complexity of the questions and the time required for thoughtful responses. 

Additionally, decide whether students can retake the quiz or if they have one attempt only.

Step 7: Add Gamification Elements

Enhance the learning experience with gamification elements. Incorporate point systems, badges, or progress bars to reward students for their achievements. 

Gamification fosters a sense of accomplishment and encourages students to excel.

  • Unlock Achievements with Badges and Points: Develop a rewarding system where students earn badges and points as they progress through the course. Craft quizzes, assignments, or interactive activities within Kajabi, and utilize its Community product or compatible themes to seamlessly assign points and badges based on key milestones and student actions. These actions can trigger automated responses, enhancing the learning experience.
  • Compete and Climb the Leaderboards: Motivate your students by setting up leaderboards that showcase their rankings compared to peers. Kajabi’s Community product can automatically update these leaderboards as students make progress, adding a competitive edge to your courses.
  • Interactive Learning Elements: Elevate engagement by integrating interactive elements like videos, quizzes, and games. While Kajabi currently doesn’t support interactive videos, you can embed them from external applications. Check out our comprehensive guide on embedding interactive assets into your Kajabi courses for step-by-step instructions.
  • Track Progress Effectively: Kajabi offers standard progress tracking, allowing students to monitor their course journey. Ensure your students are well-informed about how to access and interpret their progress details.
  • Challenge Your Students: Foster active learning through challenges that unlock new content or levels. Design quizzes, assignments, or interactive tasks that students must complete to access further course material. Kajabi’s Community product is a valuable asset for creating and managing these challenges.
  • Reward Excellence: Recognize student achievements with rewards such as badges, points, or certificates. Implement a system that automatically grants rewards upon course completion. While Kajabi can trigger basic certificates through Zapier, our preferred method involves Jotform integration. Embed Jotform forms into your courses to personalize certificates, issue them securely, and ensure one-time use, guarding against unauthorized duplication.
  • Encourage Peer Interaction: Facilitate peer-to-peer interactions within your course by incorporating forums, chat rooms, or interactive elements. This not only enhances the learning experience but also encourages collaboration among students.

Step 8: Provide Instant Feedback

Enable the option for instant feedback after completing the quiz.

Students will appreciate receiving immediate insights into their performance. 

Utilize feedback as an opportunity to encourage improvement and celebrate correct answers.

Step 9: Review and Revise

Best Practices for Kajabi Course SEO

Greetings, fellow course creator!

Today, we’re exploring the art of optimizing your Kajabi course for Search Engines (SEO), a digital magic wand that can lead eager students straight to your virtual classroom door

So, let’s roll up our sleeves and uncover the best SEO practices that will make your course shine brightly in search rankings!

Understanding the Power of SEO for Course Pages

Before we delve into the nitty-gritty, let’s grasp the importance of SEO for your Kajabi course. Imagine your course as a hidden gem that awaits discovery by eager learners. By implementing effective SEO strategies, you’ll elevate your course pages, making them easily discoverable by students who are actively seeking knowledge in your niche.

Keyword Research: Unlocking the Language of Your Audience

The foundation of successful SEO lies in thorough keyword research. These keywords are the words and phrases that your potential students use to search for courses like yours.

Conducting keyword research helps you understand the language of your target audience and allows you to align your content with their search intent.

Begin your keyword research by identifying the main topics and themes of your course. Utilize tools like Google’s Keyword Planner, SEMrush, or Ubersuggest to explore relevant keywords and their search volumes. Aim for a mix of high-traffic keywords and long-tail keywords, which are more specific and less competitive.

Optimizing Course Pages: On-Page SEO Magic

Now that you have your precious keywords, it’s time to weave them into the fabric of your course pages. Start by optimizing your page titles, URLs, and meta descriptions. Craft compelling and keyword-rich titles that entice readers while accurately representing your course content.

Next, ensure that your URLs are clean and descriptive. Avoid lengthy strings of numbers or irrelevant characters. Instead, create concise URLs that give readers a clear idea of what to expect on the page.

Additionally, don’t forget to craft engaging meta descriptions. While not a direct ranking factor, a well-written meta description can significantly impact click-through rates, driving more organic traffic to your course pages.

Creating Valuable Content: The Heart of SEO

SEO isn’t just about sprinkling keywords everywhere; it’s also about providing valuable content that resonates with your audience. Search engines love content that genuinely helps and educates users. Thus, focus on creating high-quality, informative, and engaging content that answers the questions and needs of your potential students.

Diversify your content formats to cater to different learning preferences. Use a mix of text, images, videos, and interactive elements to keep your audience captivated throughout their learning journey. Remember, the longer students stay engaged on your course pages, the better your SEO signals become.

Building Backlinks: The Popularity Factor

In the world of SEO, backlinks are like votes of confidence from other websites. When reputable sites link back to your course pages, search engines perceive your content as valuable and authoritative. As a result, your pages are more likely to climb higher in search rankings.

Reach out to relevant blogs, industry publications, and websites to pitch your course content for potential collaboration. Guest posting, partnerships, and providing valuable insights can earn you those coveted backlinks, driving more traffic and boosting your SEO standing.

Monitoring and Improving: The Ongoing SEO Journey

SEO is not a set-it-and-forget-it affair; it’s an ongoing journey of monitoring and improvement. Keep an eye on your course pages’ performance using tools like Google Analytics and Kajabi’s built-in insights. Track your keyword rankings, organic traffic, and user behavior to identify areas for enhancement.

As you gather data, be ready to refine your SEO strategy based on real-world insights. Continually update and optimize your content, refresh keywords, and adapt to evolving search trends. The more you invest in your SEO efforts, the greater the rewards in terms of organic traffic and student enrollments.

Captivate the World with SEO-Optimized Courses

Congratulations! You now hold the keys to unlocking the true potential of SEO for your Kajabi courses. By implementing these best practices, you’ll captivate the world with your valuable content and attract eager learners who are searching for precisely what you offer.
