Suggested Tech Stack for Online Coaches

This tech stack is designed for online coaches who want a simple, professional system to attract clients, manage relationships, deliver coaching, and stay consistent — without juggling dozens of disconnected tools.


1. Website & Core Platform

Recommended approach: WordPress-based website

Why:
WordPress gives coaches full control over content, SEO, and growth without locking them into expensive platforms.

Typical setup includes:

  • Homepage (clear positioning)
  • Services / Coaching page
  • Book a Call page
  • Blog or resources section

This becomes the central hub that everything else connects to.


2. Scheduling & Discovery Calls

Recommended tools: Calendly or TidyCal

Use case:
Allow prospects to book discovery calls without email back-and-forth.

Best practices:

  • Link directly from website and emails
  • Set buffer times
  • Send automatic reminders

This alone can significantly increase booked calls.


3. Video Coaching & Live Sessions

Recommended tools: Zoom or Google Meet

Use case:

  • 1:1 coaching sessions
  • Group coaching calls
  • Recorded workshops

Zoom is preferred for structured programs and recordings, while Google Meet works well for simpler setups.


4. Email Marketing & Lead Nurturing

Recommended tools: AI Alpha Hub, MailerLite or ConvertKit

Use case:

  • Welcome sequences
  • Weekly insights or newsletters
  • Course or program follow-ups

Approach:
Email is used to build trust gradually, not push sales aggressively. Short, consistent emails perform better than long campaigns.


5. CRM & Lead Follow-Up

Recommended tools:

  • AI Alpha Hub Sales Follow-Ups
  • HubSpot (free tier)
  • Or a lightweight custom CRM approach

Use case:

  • Track inquiries
  • Log discovery calls
  • Schedule follow-ups

This is where many coaches lose opportunities. A simple CRM ensures no serious lead is forgotten.


6. Course & Content Delivery

Recommended tools:

  • Thrive Apprentice
  • Teachable
  • Kajabi (for all-in-one users)

Use case:

  • Deliver self-paced courses
  • Host program materials
  • Share replays and resources

The choice depends on whether the coach prefers an all-in-one platform or a modular setup.


7. Payments & Subscriptions

Recommended tools:

  • Stripe
  • PayPal

Use case:

  • One-time payments
  • Monthly coaching retainers
  • Program instalments

Automated payments reduce friction and awkward follow-ups.


8. Customer Support & FAQs
