Why Consider Online Income?
Expanding your income online isn’t just about making more money; it’s about creating a life and career that works for you. Here are just a few reasons why this could be a game-changer:
Career Longevity: Reduce hands-on hours and prevent burnout.
Flexibility: Earn money while you’re on vacation, recovering from illness, or even sleeping.
Scalability: Reach a global audience without the constraints of a physical location.
Authority: Establish yourself as a leader in your field and grow your reputation.
Online Income Ideas for Bodyworkers
During the podcast, we shared several actionable ways to expand your income online. Here are some highlights:
1. Digital Products
Create downloadable resources like eBooks, guides, or tutorials. These are beginner-friendly and require a one-time effort to produce but they can be sold repeatedly.
Example: An Ayurvedic self-massage guide for stress relief.
2. Online Courses
Take your expertise further by creating video courses. These are perfect for teaching foam rolling, mindfulness, or even continuing education (CE) for peers. Courses take more time to create but can be sold at higher price points.
3. Memberships and Subscriptions
A membership offers consistent income by providing ongoing value, like yoga classes, tutorials, or mobility resources. Sound familiar? The Virtual Studio is built on this model—and it’s why we love it!
4. Coaching and Mentorship
Use your knowledge to guide others, whether it’s practice-building for peers, life coaching for a broader audience, or something entirely different.
5. Content Creation and Affiliate Marketing
Create blogs, YouTube videos, or social media content. Share your expertise and monetize it through affiliate links, ads, or partnerships.
