Link in bio, coaching and email

Before most creators sell a course, they sell something smaller from a social profile: a free download that builds an email list, a coaching call, a template pack. The tools for that are a link-in-bio page, a booking page that takes payment, a lead magnet and an email list, and later a membership that keeps paying. These guides cover each piece: what to put on the page, how to sell and price coaching, which free offers grow a list, how to email that list within the rules, and how to turn followers into members.

What should go on a creator's link-in-bio page?

One clear first action, then the few things you sell. For most creators that's a free download or a booking link at the top, the main product next, and two or three secondary links below. What to put in your link in bio goes through the order and examples by niche, and selling digital products on Instagram covers what Instagram itself allows: bio links, link stickers and shopping. On Klasira the link-in-bio page is part of your school, so its buttons go straight to your own checkout.

How do you sell coaching online, and what should it cost?

Sell a defined session or package with a booking page that only shows the times you're free and takes payment before the call is confirmed. How to sell coaching online covers packaging, booking and follow-up; how much to charge for coaching works the rate out from your income goal and the sessions you can realistically sell, and the free coaching rate calculator does the arithmetic.

Which lead magnets grow an email list fastest?

Small, specific and quick to use: a checklist, a template, a short email course or a sample lesson that solves one problem your paid product solves in full. Lead magnet ideas for course creators lists formats with examples, and growing an email list for your course covers where to promote them and the consent, unsubscribe and bulk-sender rules your emails have to meet.

When does a membership make more sense than a course?

When you'll keep adding something people value every month: new lessons, live help, a community or templates. How to create a membership site walks through the model, pricing and churn; membership vs one-time course compares the two on revenue and workload.

Frequently asked questions

What should I put in my link in bio?

Lead with the one thing you most want people to do, such as a free download or a booking link, then your main product, then a few secondary links. Keep it short enough to read on a phone.

How much should I charge for coaching?

Work back from your income goal: add your costs and time off, divide by the sessions you can realistically sell, then compare with what coaches in your niche charge. Packages often sell better than single sessions.

What is a lead magnet?

A free resource, such as a checklist, template, mini-course or sample chapter, that someone gets in exchange for their email address. The best ones solve one small problem your paid product solves in full.

Do I need permission to email my list?

Yes in many places. GDPR in the EU and UK requires clear consent for marketing email, the US CAN-SPAM Act requires an unsubscribe link and your address, and Gmail and Yahoo require easy unsubscribes from bulk senders.
