FBU 522: The Distinction Between Coaching, Teaching + Training in Your Online Business Aug 04, 2025

Show notes

Training, coaching, and teaching are all very different skillsets that you'll have to learn as you run your online fitness business. In this episode, Jill emphasizes the importance of understanding these differences if you're looking to enhance your business models. Online coaching focuses on behavior change and transformation, while virtual training is more about providing workout plans and accountability, and teaching is the least customized of the three but requires communication and broadcasting skills. Even if you don't have the most experience with any of these skillsets, the good news is that each one of them is something you can learn and perfect through time and repetition.

FBU 520: Watch Out For This Pricing Trap Jul 28, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Jill discusses the complexities of pricing strategies for fitness and wellness professionals. There are many people who will tell you to "charge the most" for your services, but premium prices need to be set for premium products, and if you're just getting started with online coaching, that probably isn't you yet. Jill advocates for starting with lower ticket offers as a means to gain experience and social proof, and gradually increasing your rates as you build confidence and results.

FBU 519: How to Interact with Busy People Jul 23, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Jill explains good practices when it comes to interacting with busy people. It's important to network, especially if you are just starting your coaching business, and talking to people and peers who are doing the same thing as you. However, it's also important to take into account that that person might have a lot of things on their plate and it's smart not to take it personally.

"When someone is really busy, for them to give their time to you or their energy to you – especially for free – they need to feel like it's worth it." – Jill Coleman

FBU 516: How to Not Make People Feel Like Just a Number as You Scale Jul 14, 2025

Show notes

Marketing and sales are only one part of starting an online business. Once you get clients in the door, it's just as important for your business that they feel valued and not like they're just a number to you, because when people feel like they don't matter, they end up giving up. As your business grows and your time and energy become even more limited, making clients feel important gets even trickier. Today, Jill shares some strategies for maintaining quality control, managing boundaries, and attracting the right clients so you can nail your customer fulfillment.

FBU 515: Improve Your Relationship to Money Jul 09, 2025

Show notes

In entrepreneurship, talking about money is far from taboo. So many people are raised with an aversion to talking openly about money and often tie their income or ability to make money to their self-worth. If you really want to get good at online business, you have to learn to get clinical with your feelings about money and realize that just because the client is the one with the money, doesn't mean they hold more power than you do. Leveling up your money mindset if the first step in figuring out how to make lots of money with your online business.

FBU 514: When Is It Okay to Change Your Niche? Jul 07, 2025

Show notes

Choosing a niche is a crucial part of running an online business, but are you locked into your niche forever once you choose one? As a human being, change is inevitable, which means as you run your personal brand, your interests and ideas will naturally begin to evolve. Even JillFit wasn't always a fitness business brand—it started as a fat loss company. You will change over time, and that means your business and your niche might, too. As long as you include your audience in your personal journey and build a solid foundation of trust, you can always change your niche.

FBU 513: Should You Use a Video Sales Letter (VSL)? Jul 02, 2025

Show notes

You might have heard of a sales technique called a Video Sales Letter (or VSL), but what actually is a VSL and what's the best way to use one? Jill is diving deep into the concept of VSLs and explains their structure, purpose, and effectiveness in making sales. Generally, the higher friction your potential clients face before deciding to work with you, the higher chance you have to convert a lead into a sale. With a VSL, you can be increasing engagement, qualifying your leads, and making sales with a lot less front-facing work.
