About Yoga With Shaheeda
Here’s how Shaheeda scaled her coaching business:
YouTuber First
MBA Shaheeda worked at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt Ltd for 10+ years. Meanwhile, she holds a Masters in Yoga Therapy. Shaheeda’s decision to transition from a corporate job to becoming a full-time yoga coach didn’t happen overnight. Neither she had thought about it seriously.
She used her expertise and experience to create informative and engaging videos that resonated with viewers. What started as a passion eventually turned into a full-time profession in the coming years. Her content related to yoga and wellness won her fan following and audience.
Trainer Next
As Shaheeda Bano’s YouTube channel gained more subscribers and views, the idea to monetize her content grew stronger. And who could blame her? After all, with ads, sponsorships, merchandise, and paid subscriptions, the revenue potential is massive.
As your community grows, so do the expectations of your audience. Learners who want to learn from you expect more refined content, with a clear structure that takes them from A to Z in their quest for knowledge. Without a clear structure, viewers can feel lost and overwhelmed, unable to follow along or retain the information being presented. Therefore, you should strive to create a structured and organized learning experience for your audience, balancing their needs with the revenue potential of your content.
Therefore, in order to truly deliver an effective learning experience, Shaheeda added structure and organization to her content and introduced weekly group coaching sessions, live learning & recorded content to meet the needs of her viewers.
(a) Online Courses
Creating online courses can be a lucrative and efficient way for creators, like Shaheeda Bano, to share their knowledge and generate revenue.
- Structured delivery of learning experience: By creating online courses, creators can provide a more structured and comprehensive learning experience for their audience. With a clear syllabus, lessons, and assignments, learners can better understand and retain the material being presented.
- Bundling of existing content: Creating online courses allows creators to bundle their existing content into a more comprehensive package. By curating their best blog posts, videos, and other content, they can provide added value for their audience while also monetizing their work more effectively.
- Flexibility and scalability: Unlike traditional in-person teaching or coaching, online courses offer creators greater flexibility and scalability. They can create courses once and sell them repeatedly, without the need for ongoing time investment. This can be a great way to generate passive income while also reaching a global audience.
By partnering with Knorish, creators like Shaheeda Bano access a comprehensive suite of tools and resources to create and market their online courses effectively. Knorish offers a user-friendly platform with customizable templates and design options, making it easy for creators to build and launch their courses.
(b)Live Zoom Sessions
Uninterrupted live sessions are essential for coaches like Shaheeda Bano because they provide an opportunity to interact with learners in a more effective and personalized manner. Through live sessions, coaches can address learners’ queries and doubts in real-time and provide a more engaging and interactive learning experience.
Moreover, coaches can use live sessions to be available to their community, whether it be through chats, assessments, or one-on-one sessions. This level of availability builds trust and confidence among learners, who feel that they have access to their coach whenever they need it.
In addition, live sessions provide coaches with an opportunity to gather valuable feedback and insights from their learners. They can ask for feedback during the session or use interactive tools to gauge the learners’ understanding of the material.
However, interruptions during live sessions can disrupt the flow of learning and hinder the learners’ ability to fully engage with the content. Therefore, having uninterrupted live sessions is essential to ensure that learners can focus on the material without any distractions.
With Knorish’s Prime Feature of Live Zoom Sessions for up to 500 users/3 hours each, coaches like Shaheeda Bano conduct uninterrupted live sessions and engage with their learners more effectively. This feature also saves them the cost of a Zoom Enterprise Pro account, which can cost up to Rs. 60-65000 per year.
At present Shaheeda does weekly Live Group Coaching Sessions and charges subscription fees for access to the live sessions.
(c) One-On-One Consultation
One-on-one consultations are an essential aspect of coaching and training, particularly in an online setting. By providing personalized attention and guidance, coaches like Shaheeda Bano can help their learners achieve their goals more effectively.
Her one-on-one consulting is priced at 15000 per session.
(d) Recorded Content
Going by the popularity & need, Shaheeda does offer recorded content to benefit beginners and people who prefer to have their content on-demand because they can access the material at their own pace and convenience. They can pause, rewind, and review the content as many times as they need to fully grasp the concepts being presented.
This is also especially helpful for learners who may not have the opportunity to attend live sessions or who may need to review the content at a later time. Additionally, recorded content can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, allowing for flexibility in scheduling and location.
Knorish empowers 40,000+ content creators like Shaheeda Bano to provide both live & recorded content that opens for them a passive income stream, as learners can purchase access to their material even after it has been created.
