If you’re running your online business purely on launches, you already know the drill: you’re “on” during a launch, sales come in, momentum is high… and then? Crickets. Income drops, your energy crashes, and you start worrying about how long that launch cash will last.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly why more coaches and course creators are turning to a hybrid business model in 2025 — a setup that combines live launching and automated evergreen sales funnels. This isn’t about choosing between launch or evergreen. It’s about using both, strategically, so your business works with you, not against you.

Let’s break down what this actually looks like — and why it’s the smartest move for long-term stability, growth, and freedom.

What is a Hybrid Business Model?

A hybrid business model blends the momentum and visibility of live launches with the consistency and automation of evergreen sales funnels. For coaches, this means you can plan launches when it makes sense (not when you’re desperate), while letting your evergreen funnel sell your signature offer in the background year-round.

Instead of “feast or famine” income spikes, you create consistent income through a system that doesn’t rely on you being online all the time.

Why Relying on Launches Alone Isn’t Sustainable

Many coaches fall into the trap of building their entire business around launches. You spend weeks or months planning, promoting, and showing up… only to crash after it’s over. Not just financially, but energetically.

Then what?

You’re stuck managing your income so it lasts until the next big push. And if you don’t feel like launching again right away? Sales stop. This is exactly why building an evergreen funnel for coaches is no longer optional — it’s essential.

Evergreen Funnels Give You Stability

When you set up an evergreen funnel the right way, your audience can join your offer at any time. Whether they found you through a freebie, low-ticket product, or training, your system guides them through a personalized buyer journey — even if you’re offline.

This is how I filled my group program with 30–50 clients without constantly showing up or doing a hard sell. My consistent income strategy was simple: smart funnels, clear messaging, and strong entry points like free workshops or low-ticket tripwires.

And no — I didn’t use ads. This was all organic.

How to Make a Hybrid Business Model Work

Here are five steps to build a profitable, low-pressure business that runs on both launch energy and automation:

  1. Anchor your business with a signature evergreen offer.
    This is your core product. Whether it’s low, mid, or high ticket, it should be available all the time. Build a funnel that sells it without you needing to be involved.
  2. Use launches as accelerators — not band-aids.
    A solid evergreen funnel gives you breathing room. Launch when it feels aligned, not out of panic. That way, you show up fully and actually enjoy the process.
  3. Warm your audience all year round.
    Your content should lead somewhere. Whether it’s to a free planner, workshop, or a waitlist, give people a reason to engage with you regularly — and drive them to your email list.
  4. Segment your offers.
    Don’t sell everything to everyone at once. Know where each offer fits and let your automations move people through the right path based on their actions.
  5. Drop the idea that you have to choose.
    The most profitable online coaches in 2025 aren’t picking between launches and funnels — they’re building both. The key is flexibility. Launch when you want, automate the rest.

What This Looks Like in My Business

Since 2022, I’ve run my business using this exact hybrid business model. My programs sell year-round through evergreen funnels. I only launch when I actually want to — and if the launch flops? No stress, because my systems are still working.

Even my newest offer, The Funnel Minimind, started filling before I even announced it. Why? Because I funneled leads from a workshop and followed up with automated emails. Zero public launch. Just a working system.

Ready to Build Yours?

If you’re tired of riding the launch rollercoaster and want a business that sells every week — with or without you — the Funnel Minimind is where we build that.

You’ll set up your evergreen funnel, optimize your offer flow, and install the automations that run your business while you’re living your life.

A hybrid business model isn’t just smart — it’s the only way to grow your income and protect your energy in 2025. Set up your evergreen funnel, launch when you want, and stop letting sales depend on your next burst of energy.

You deserve a business that runs with or without you. Build that now.

I help ambitious women build 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 (starting from zero to 7+ figure/year) refine their offers, master their messaging, step into their power with positioning that actually gets them paid, and build systems and funnels to automate their sales.

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 wild 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.
