#392: One-On-One Coaching Vs. Digital Courses: What’s Best For You?

The difference between a “one-to-one” and “one-to-many” business model I live for a good debate. Journey or Queen? Blog or podcast? Seinfeld or Friends? And while we’re at it...were they really on a break? But if we’re talking about building an online business or adding a digital asset to your existing business, there’s one debate that comes up over and over again... Digital course or one-on-one coaching? (Orrrr… can both work in one business?) AKA which offer is best for you, your clients, or your business? And how the heck can you know for sure? (After all, you sure don’t have the time or money to go all-in on the wrong thing.) Well, with over 12 years of experience in the online world, I want to help you decide once and for all if a digital course or one-on-one coaching is best for you. I’ll be guiding you through a self-assessment that’s sure to help you identify which offer is best suited to you, your clients, and your business (and life!) goals. Here are the questions to consider: Do you have information, know-how, or a skill set that could be turned into a digital course? Does what you teach have steps or a roadmap of some sort or could it be turned into that? Could what you teach be taught to more than one person at a time? Could your area of expertise be taught via video or audio? Do you like doing one-on-one coaching? And while, based on my own business, you may think I’m “Team Digital Course” all the way...my answer might just surprise you. PLUS in this episode, we’ll discuss: The unique way that a digital course serves you and your customers (that you probably haven’t considered yet) The main differences between the two offerings Specific examples of how digital courses and one-on-one coaching work within my students’ real-life business And if all of that still leaves you scratching your head, I’ve gone one step farther to make your dream business game plan extra simple.
