They are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>By the session ($100 per hour, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>By the month ($500 per month for x number of sessions)<\/li>\n<li>By the package (3 or 6 month packages for a specified fee \u2013 usually with a discount built it)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many coaches like to offer packages because it helps to make their income more predictable and steady. But, whatever works for you is fine. It&#8217;s determining the amount that is the key to making the money you deserve.<\/p>\n<h3>Do You Charge Too Little For Your Coaching Services?<\/h3>\n<p>New coaches often set their <strong><u>life coaching fee<\/u><\/strong> lower than average in order to attract clients. This is not necessarily a bad strategy for new coaches. However, once you begin to build up a clientele and a reputation, your <strong><u>life coaching fee<\/u><\/strong> should begin to rise. Many coaches don&#8217;t do this because they fear they will lose clients. But, the more experience you have and the more satisfied clients you work with, your fee needs to rise.<\/p>\n<h3>5 Reasons Your Life Coaching Fee is Too Low<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You&#8217;re trying to sell your services to people who don&#8217;t value coaching. Some people may think $25 per hour is too much to pay for coaching. Forget those people \u2013 you will never make a living targeting them for your coaching practice.<\/li>\n<li>You don&#8217;t value your own coaching services. What do you think you&#8217;re worth? If you are a new coach, you might be right to value your coaching below the average, but with experience comes greater knowledge and ability. You become a better coach. Raise your fees \u2013 you&#8217;re worth it!<\/li>\n<li>You are coaching too many people. Sure, you can coach a shipload of people at lower rates, but there will come a time when you will prefer coaching fewer people \u2013 you&#8217;ll have more time and you&#8217;ll actually become a better coaching when you focus on fewer clients.<\/li>\n<li>You are afraid of losing clients. Sure, the more you charge, the more likely you will turn a few potential people away. However, most people view coaching as a professional, highly-personalized service. When you charge lower fees, you risk looking like a bargain-basement coach. If you can deliver dramatic outcomes for your clients, they will see the value and pay higher fees.<\/li>\n<li>You don&#8217;t see the value in coaching. Sounds odd that a coach might not see the value in what he or she does, but it is more common than you would think. It sometimes takes a few years in the business to really understand the impact you can have on people&#8217;s lives. It is much more than just a job or a business, it is a potentially life-changing profession, and you need to value yourself and your work.
