Helped hundreds of women build their dream businesses, breaking the rules and becoming their most authentic self since 2016, from a tiny island called Nusa Lembongan, located next to Bali (Indonesia). I love freediving and spending time with my 2 rescue doggies, hubby and 6 years old boy.

If you’re a yoga teacher, creating content to attract paying students can feel like a never-ending struggle. You pour your heart into crafting engaging posts, videos, and freebies, yet the conversion just doesn’t seem to happen. Trust me, I’ve been there.

I want to share with you the five reasons why your free content might not be converting and how to turn that around. Let’s dive in!

1. Too Much Education, Not Enough Inspiration

It’s natural to want to share your expertise, but sometimes we go overboard with educational content. The reality is, people don’t necessarily pay for information – they pay for transformation. Shift your content to inspire, motivate, and help your audience believe in their ability to achieve their yoga goals.

2. Using Language That Doesn’t Resonate with Your Audience

If you’re talking about root problems rather than symptoms, you may be missing the mark. For example, talking about improving posture might not be as engaging as addressing pain relief or relaxation. Speak to your audience in a way they can relate to, and paint a clear picture of what’s possible for them.

3. Ignoring the Importance of Personal Connection

People don’t just buy services; they invest in people they trust. Share your personal experiences, your struggles, and how you overcame them. By connecting on a personal level, you make it easier for potential students to trust you and see value in your services.

4. Lack of a Clear Call-to-Action (CTA)

A simple, compelling CTA can make a world of difference. Whether it’s signing up for a free trial class, downloading a yoga guide, or joining your mailing list, make sure your audience knows exactly what the next step is.

5. Failing to Address Their Beliefs

This one is crucial. If your audience doesn’t believe that what you’re offering is possible for them, they won’t invest. Share success stories, show real-world examples, and provide content that helps shift their beliefs. Make them realize that they too can achieve what you’re promising.

Recap

Turning followers into paying students doesn’t have to be a complex puzzle. By focusing on these five areas, you can create content that truly resonates, converts, and builds a community of loyal, paying students.

I'm GWEN — Business mentor & mindset coach

I help ambitious women build six and multi-six-figure businesses that are bold, profitable, and fully aligned with who they are,  without following cookie-cutter strategies or burning out trying to do it all.

I’ve built three multi-six-figure businesses from scratch, and I’ve helped hundreds of women refine their offers, master their messaging, step into their power with positioning that actually gets them paid.

I don’t teach one way to grow your business online. I help you find YOUR way. The way that matches your energy, your vision, and your big goals. I know you are building an empire, not a cute little side business. 

As a mom of a 6 years old boy, living on a tiny 7km² island in Asia, running a business I love and working just four days a week, I know that you don’t have to choose between ambition and freedom. You get to have both.

Ready to stop doing business like everyone else and finally become the one people buy from because your content and offers are fire?! Let’s go!!
