How Coaches Can Use Crowdsourcing to Boost Their Brand

You know the saying, "Great coaches don't just teach – they also learn from their community"? Well, it's true. The best part is, it helps you create a strong community around your brand. It makes people feel more connected to you and your work. So, give these ideas a try and see how they can benefit your coaching business. 

Co-Created Coaching Tool

Work with your clients to make a useful tool for coaching. First, ask them what problems they face. You can use online surveys to collect their answers. Then, invite them to help you think of solutions! You could use online whiteboards for this. Make a few test versions of the best ideas.

Let your clients try them out and tell you what they think. Keep improving the tool, based on what they say. Do you know why this is so important? It’s because when you make something together, people feel more connected to your brand.

Crowdsourced Coaching Sessions

Let your clients pick what you will coach about next. Each month, ask them to vote on a topic! You can use online voting tools during live videos to do this as well. Also, ask people to share their own stories or questions about the topic. Pick a few to talk about in your coaching session.

This shows you care about what your clients need help with. Record these sessions so people can watch them later! Over time, you'll build a big collection of helpful videos on many topics. Talk about innovation!

Crowdsourced Creation

Get your clients to help you make great material. By doing so, you can not only save your time but also add value and create more informative material. You can set up a simple system, or try an easy-to-use online form using tools like Google Forms or Typeform. You can further ask questions and jot down key takeaways.

But most importantly, you need to offer incentives- that is very crucial! For instance, you can offer small rewards like a free coaching session or exclusive content for those who contribute. That’s how you make people connect to your brand.

Collaborative Blog Posts and Articles

Write blog posts with help from your audience. Choose a topic and ask your audience about their thoughts. Then, write an article that includes many different views. Add your own expert advice too. You could make the article interactive, letting readers click to see more from each person who helped.

For example, an ideal leadership coach invites his followers to share their leadership challenges. He then creates rich, interesting posts that increase the knowledge of his whole community. You could even turn your popular posts into free guides for people to download!

Idea Contests for New Programs

Create a contest for new program ideas. Set up a place online where people can share and discuss their views for your next coaching program. Make it fun by giving points for good ideas and helpful comments.

Let everyone vote, and offer a special prize for the best idea! This not only gives you great new programs but also shows you who your most engaged followers are.

Conclusion

Using these crowdsourcing ideas can really help your coaching brand grow. They're all about working together with your followers to make great things.
