With so many coaches and trainers primarily using social media and email newsletters as their primary form of communication rather than creating a full website, it can be hard to actually book clients and start getting paid. New coaches are often cobbling together the business side of things as they write training plans and do consulting calls for clients, but this can lead to looking unprofessional and disorganized—and more importantly, it’s harder to get paid!
Enter Google Forms and the Payable Add-On. With this simple setup, you can create a Google Form to collect necessary info about your coaching clients, whether you’re offering one-on-one, group coaching or a combination thereof, and you can collect their payment at the same time. If you offer monthly or weekly coaching, you can even create subscriptions so you continue to get paid. This Google Form can serve as your ‘landing page’ that you link to in social media, and you can use Canva to create a professional-looking header image and use the description section to share a bit about your offerings.
While you may eventually want to create a more robust website to host info about your coaching, this is a free and fast way to get started—and even if you do create a website eventually, you can simply embed the Google Form on a page and continue to take signups with it and Payable!
We even have a free template set up to get you started—simply copy it and customize it to suit your needs. (Don’t forget to follow the instructions in the template to activate the Payable Add-On and set it to start collecting payments.)
Simply set up a Google Form, activate the Payable Add-On, and in minutes, you can collect money as friends/friends/etc. fill out your Form and are moved through the checkout process.
There’s no muss, no fuss, and no subscription fees. Payable only makes money if you do, and our fees are significantly lower than online coaching platforms.
