Your first three steps

  2. Write a simple offer such as a free 15-minute intro call and a four-session starter package
  3. Create a short profile page or social media account and invite friends to try a session in return for honest feedback
Who pays

Busy professionals, people with irregular schedules and those who prefer privacy or live too far from classes.

How it makes money

Fees per private session, monthly packages for regular clients, and paid online group sessions or short courses.
