Life Coaching Resources For New And Established Coaches

Free Life Coaching Resources for All Aspects of Your Business

Protect your life coaching business with the right legal agreements

In these days of litigation, it's important to have firm agreements, disclaimers and refund policies in place to protect you and your coaching business.

It is increasingly easy to copy someone else's material and so if you have quality, original content on your website or in your webinars, legal protection against plagiarism will help keep your material as yours.

You can read more about protecting your life coaching business in my article covers Life Coaching Agreements.

How can I check for broken links on my website?

Take advantage of a FREE tool to check for broken links, using brokenlinkcheck.com  

Brokenlinkcheck.com enable you to ensure that all your links are working and up to date.

Why should you check for broken links? If a prospective client clicks on a link on your website and finds it doesn’t work or goes to the wrong place you’ve most likely lost them to another coach.

And, while it is invaluable to check that the links on your own website or Facebook pages are still working. Also check any links that a guest posts on your website or FB page. 

I've found this to be one of my most valuable life coaching resources to keep my website relevant. When doing my monthly broken link check recently, I discovered three contributions posted by other people on my website that were no longer working. So make it a habit to regularly use this free link tool. brokenlinkcheck.com.

What Are The Best AI Writing Tools for Websites?

AI can be appealing as a time-saving way of helping you create website content, especially if writing is something you find challenging. The emphasis here, though, is on “support” rather than “doing it for you". 

I’ve found AI services can be very useful for giving me ideas for headings and prompting me to fill in information gaps I may have missed. I mainly use ChatGPT.

However, there are a couple of important distinctions. The free Chat GPT service is effective but limited in how much time it gives you until you revert to a reduced (and accurate) service. So, if you ask your questions and it says "you now only have a limited service", you will need to wait many hours  before you are able to try again. The free version, although very useful, can also be limited in the quality of the results. 

Similarly Claude and Gemini AI free versions are limited. 

Whatever service you use, you need to edit and add to what AI comes up with to reflect your own voice, tell your stories, add pictures, and include some of your own original material.

This is because Google and other search engines are clever enough to recognize entirely AI-created content, which can be literally robotic and bland, and may downgrade the page in the search rankings.

I have also found that you need to check any recommended websites AI comes up with in a created article to make sure they are really relevant to the subject you are writing about.

Remember, AI draws on what has already been written but is not clever enough to make every distinction. And often gets it dangerously WRONG!

My favourite AI writing support tool for websites

There IS one particular AI writing support tool for websites that I love and you can try it for yourself free for 7 days. Called TAI, it provides a complete education and support package as well as writing and search tools that bring you excellence in your written material.

There is no pre-payment needed and once signed in, there is a complete education program. You are shown how to ask the right questions so you get the best answers and even create images. You can give TAI a trial here for free and I recommend you use often during this time.  It will blow your mind once you discover the functionality, the support and education that is build in.

Trusted Partners of Life Coaching Professionally 

Over the years, I've found some great resource partners for Life Coaching Professionally. Before partnering with them or recommending them, I've made sure that they are offering authentic, proven and well established tools and services. This means that I can honestly recommend them as being of benefit to your coaching success. Check them out and see if they can work for you. 

Paperbell Coaching Software

More and more coaches are using coaching software to help with their coaching admin. Choosing the right service means you can have your own social-friendly website with scheduling, payments, messaging and more built right in.

I recommend Paperbell as an all in one service that will support the marketing and administration of your coaching business. However, they aren't the only option and if you are at a point where you are considering software, you can work out what you want, need and don't need when investing in a coaching software on this page. 

Paperbell has the credibility of being a partner of the ICF (International Coach Federation). 

Plus, I particularly like that they offer a month’s free trial with lots of help - without the hassle of giving a credit card. So you've nothing to lose by signing up for the month's free account to explore and trial. As well as my article, just following that simple process will help you get more clarity on whether it is a good fit for you.

 Efficient way to get paid for your coaching

There are many ways to get paid for your services as a life coach; Direct Debit, Paypal, Stripe, Cash and so on.

But if you are aiming to have an international client base you want to find a payment system that is easy, efficient and importantly doesn't cost you a fortune in exchange and/or bank fees.

I found that Wise (previously Transferwise) was the one for me, both for clients and my products. The reason was  because wherever you are in the world you can set up a bank account in your preferred payment currency at a significantly cheaper rate than say Paypal.

You can read a lot more about how Wise works and avoiding hidden international payment expenses in my exploration of hidden payment fees and how to save money when you are paid by your clients.

Resources To Grow Your Online Presence

These days, most coaches recognise the need to have an online presence through a website that fulfils its purpose of attracting clients from any location.

I recommend the following specific website-creation resources for life coaches because they are supportive, practical, useful and reliable. Please be careful you are not taken in by website offers that offer free, very cheap and/or an almost instant creation process. They may be beautifully presented but unfortunately they don't always provide what you need to help manage your website and attract new clients  (without a lot of extra investment in plug ins).

Solo Build It -  An online business building system

As a life coach in the 21st century you are more than likely going to want to create a website to showcase who you are, how you coach and all your great client testimonials.

This is especially true if you are planning to coach nationally or internationally online, rather than just locally. I chose Solo Build It! to create Life Coaching Professionally and my previous personal coaching site because it met all my needs and had a very reasonable annual fee.

It has a unique step-by-step Action Guide for building a business online, design templates, safe and secure hosting, SEO (search engine optimising) brainstorming function to find the best keywords, easy editing of all functions and a community forum where you can get advice about your site from SBI's website experts and other users.

It also features a fully integrated AI support tool for creating your website, called TAI. I covered this above but if you have a full hosting and business building package, TAI is included in the cost.

Solo Built It costs $365USD annually for everything and you can even trial the system for free for 90 days so you can check it out to see if it is going to be what you need.

If you want everything you need in an online business building website in an all-in-one-package without spending a fortune, I suggest you include Solo Build It! in your research.

Do you already have a Wordpress site?

If you already own a Wordpress site, you could consider investing in Solo Build It! for Wordpress. This provides some of the most important features of SBI! including the Action Guide business building education package; the unique keyword brainstorming tool and the fabulous free support.

The Coaching Website Guide

A Design & Content Blueprint to Attract Clients Like a Pro (2025)
Reading this book, I was really impressed by the way its author Kenn Schroder has covered every aspect of creating a coaching website that will engage and attract clients from content to navigation and SEO (search engine optimisation) in an easy to understand writing style.  

The book is in PDF and has links to the various chapters so it is easy to dip in and out of and find whatever website related content you are looking for including how to write an engaging "about" page. 

At US$97 + GST, The Coaching Website Guide may seem like a big investment but in reality, it could save you a vast amount of time and a fortune in avoiding costly website mistakes. Now in its 5th Edition and with free lifetime updates, you can review the first chapter for free and Ken often has special offers!
