    If I didn't need a paycheck, I would love to manage/answer an email inbox where people, in need of advice, can anonymously send their worries and troubles. If the sender is comfortable, next step are phone call(s) to discuss issue(s) in more details.

    There are many platforms that offer services like that. I am for example collaborator at a coaching platform that works exactly like this. I am the "staff" and I answer remember's questions. They have the chance to see that there is a solution to their problem and if they want more they can book private coaching sessions with me.
    As a business model it can be either as a membership site or as a free platform that charges only when a members wants to buy a session and go further into discussion with a coach.
    What area of life/ career are you interested to go into?

  3. Bonnie

    Life coaching interests me.

    Life coaching is growing as market and as demand right now. There are many facets and niches. The way you choose one impacts almost everything after. It needs to account for not only what is out there but also who you are, your values, personality etc. It is a highly rewarding direction though. Do you have a niche already?

  5. Bonnie

    No niche yet. Where can I find more information about life coaching niches?

    The most reliable way I see to find your niche is to start with you. Because This is a type of work that can only be done from inside out. The outcome is coming from a process of sorting what you have est to offer and you check against what the demand is right now. The thing is that given that we are all unique, your niche might be unique as well. Which is perfect because only you can do that, it's your superpower.
    The way I do this work is going through a sequence of questions about yourself, conscious, subconscious levels, skills, life experiences, formal training, talents, passions, etc. From here we identify trends and establish possible paths. Then we test those against the demand and choose the best fitting right now.
    I do not know what type of material others use but I find that the only authentic way to do it is to build it from the ground up completely personalized around your gifts and strengths.
