The Modern Coach’s Marketing Challenge
Why Traditional Lead Generation Methods Are No Longer Effective?
Old-fashioned lead generation methods aren't working anymore.
Sending cold DMs that get ignored, building static landing pages that don’t convert, or hosting random webinars that no one attends—all of it feels like shouting into the void.
You can post motivational quotes, write value-packed captions, and join 10 Facebook groups.
But if you don’t have a system that actually guides people through a journey from “Who are you?” to “Where do I sign up?” — you're stuck playing the visibility game on hard mode.
Old ways like sending cold direct messages, using basic landing pages, or hosting single webinars feel random. They might get some interest, but they don't create lasting trust or connections.
Why? Because your audience has changed.
Today your clients are smarter, more selective, and crave authenticity.
They don’t want to be pitched—they want to feel like they know you before they invest in you.
How Video Funnels Transform Client Attraction?
This is where coaching video marketing changes the game.
A well-crafted video funnel gives your prospects a front-row seat to your expertise, energy, and values, without needing to be live all the time.
It guides them from being curious to feeling ready to say, “let's go for it.”
Example? Imagine a life coach who replaces her scattered Instagram efforts with a simple 3-part video funnel:
→ Video 1 shares a relatable story about burnout—your audience feels seen.
→ Video 2 gives a peek into your coaching method—now they trust you.
→ Video 3 invites them to book a free clarity call—warm, organic conversion.
You don’t need to overthink.
You could use an AI script generator to quickly write your video scripts. A mobile teleprompter app helps you stay natural on camera without memorizing lines.
And on busy days? You could even record using an AI twin avatar that speaks your script for you—no need to show up every time.
Building a High-Converting Coaching Video Marketing Funnel
Let’s break it down: a successful video funnel isn’t just a bunch of videos thrown together.
It’s a system. One that mirrors your client’s decision-making journey—from "I think I have a problem” to "You're exactly who I need.
For example, a solopreneur feels overwhelmed juggling client work and marketing. She stumbles on your video about burnout and instantly relates.
A few days later, she watches another video where you walk through your signature framework. Now she’s nodding along, thinking, “Okay… this person gets it.”
By the time she sees your third video—an invite to book a clarity call—she’s already sold on you.
That’s the kind of journey a coaching video marketing funnel can create—one step, one story, one connection at a time.
Mapping the Ideal Client Journey
Before you hit record, you need clarity on who you're speaking to—and where they are in their decision journey.
A solid funnel typically has three key stages:
- Awareness – They just discovered they have a problem
- Consideration – They’re actively looking for a solution
- Decision – They’re ready to invest, but need a nudge
Your job? Create a video for each stage that speaks to what your audience is feeling and what they need to hear next.
Essential Video Types for Each Stage of the Funnel
Let’s say you’re a business coach helping overwhelmed solopreneurs grow sustainably. Here’s how your coaching video marketing funnel could look:
Awareness Video
A short video that hits on a common struggle (“Feeling stuck juggling 10 roles in your business?”) and shows empathy. You're not selling—you're connecting.
Consideration Video
Share a quick breakdown of your framework or a client transformation story. This is where trust starts to build.
Decision Video
Here’s where you invite them to take action. This could be a video walking them through your offer, how it works, and what results they can expect.
Each of these doesn’t need to be fancy. Be clear, authentic, and strategic.
Using BIGVU to Automate the Funnel Process
Now, how do you create all this without burning out?
That’s where BIGVU makes things ridiculously simple—even if you’re not tech-savvy or don’t like being on camera every day.

- Don’t Want to Record Your Voice? Use AI Voiceover

You don’t need to hire a team or buy fancy gear. You just need a smart, repeatable funnel creation process—and BIGVU gives you exactly that.
Crafting Video Marketing Content for Coaches That Converts
The Importance of a Compelling Hook
Most coaches lose their viewer in the first 5 seconds.
Why? Because their intro sounds like, “Hi, I’m Sarah, a business coach and I help…”
You need to lead with a hook that makes them pause. Something that hits a pain point or sparks curiosity.
Try this:
Instead of saying: “In this video I’ll teach you how to beat burnout…”
Say: “If you’re googling ‘how to stop feeling exhausted all the time,’ this is for you.”
See the difference?
Telling Stories That Connect and Convert (Without Being Too Salesy)
Salesy = skippable.
Stories = sticky.
Telling a quick story—about a client win, a past version of you, or a moment of truth makes your audience feel something.
And when they feel, they trust. And when they trust… they buy. But keep it grounded.
Instead of this: “I helped a client go from zero to six figures in 30 days.”
Try this: “My client Sarah went from not knowing how to price her coaching to signing 3 high-ticket clients in one week—with one mindset shift we worked on together.”
It’s still powerful—but believable, relatable, and real.
Call-to-Action Techniques for Maximum Engagement
Here’s where most coaches go flat: their CTA is either missing, weak, or sounds like a desperate plea.
“DM me if you’re interested” isn’t it.
Your CTA should feel like a natural next step—not a pitch.
Here are three CTA styles that work really well in coaching video marketing:
- Soft & relational: “If this resonated, drop a 💬 in the comments. Let’s talk.”
- Value-first: “Want my exact journaling prompts for this? Grab them via the link.”
- Actionable & direct: “Feeling stuck with your offers? Book a clarity call—I’ll help you get unstuck fast.”
When you match the right CTA to the right funnel stage, that’s when your content starts to convert.
Automating & Scaling Your Funnel
Setting Up Automated Video Email Sequences
Email remains a powerful tool for nurturing leads. But in a crowded inbox, a plain text email might not capture attention.
This is where video emails come into play.
Why Video Emails?
- Personal Touch: Seeing and hearing you fosters a deeper connection than text alone.
- Higher Engagement: Videos can increase click-through rates, leading to better engagement.
How to Implement:
- Create a Video Landing Page: Instead of embedding videos directly into emails (which can be problematic), use BIGVU to create a branded video landing page. This page can include your video, a personalized message, and a clear call-to-action.
- Craft Your Email Sequence: Develop a series of emails that guide your leads through the decision-making process. For example:
- Email 1: Introduction with a link to a video about who you are and the problems you solve.
- Email 2: Share a client success story via video.
- Email 3: Address common objections and provide solutions.
- Email 4: Direct invitation to book a consultation.
- Automate Delivery: Use an email marketing tool to plan and send these emails at the best times. This will help keep in touch with people regularly without needing to do it all by hand.
Optimizing Social Media Distribution
Consistent presence on social media amplifies your reach and positions you as an authority. However, manually posting can be time-consuming.
Automation tools can streamline this process.
Steps to Optimize:
- Centralize Your Content: Use BIGVU Social Media Scheduler to manage and schedule posts across multiple platforms from a single dashboard.
- Tailor Content for Each Platform: Change your video titles and styles to fit the different social media platforms.
- Schedule Posts Strategically: Analyze when your audience is most active and schedule posts during these peak times to maximize visibility and engagement.
- Monitor and Adjust: Regularly review analytics to understand what content performs best, allowing you to refine your strategy over time.
Enhancing Lead Capture with AI-Driven Tools
Beyond email and social media, integrating AI-driven tools can further improve your lead capture and nurturing processes.
- Chatbots: Add AI chatbots to your website. They can talk to visitors in real-time, answer questions, and help them book a consultation.
- Personalized Video Messages: Use AI to create personalized video messages for leads, addressing them by name and referencing their specific interests or pain points.
- Predictive Analytics: Use AI tools that look at how users behave on your site. They can help you guess which potential customers are most likely to convert, so you can focus your efforts better.
Measuring & Optimizing Performance
Tracking Key Metrics to Improve Conversions
One of the biggest mistakes coaches make? Creating content blindly. If you’re not measuring performance, you’re guessing.
That’s where BIGVU’s social media dashboard comes in.
It gives you a central place to track how your videos are performing across platforms—without hopping between apps.
- See which videos get the most engagement
- Track views, likes, shares, and comments by platform
- Spot what topics or formats actually drive traffic or clicks
- Adjust your strategy based on what’s actually resonating
Let’s say one of your Instagram reels consistently outperforms others. Instead of starting from scratch each week, double down on that topic, style, or CTA—and turn it into a mini content series.
Data makes you smarter. Smart coaches convert better.
Quick Strategies for Optimizing Your Funnel
Don’t worry—you don’t need a huge overhaul. Small tweaks can lead to big results.
Here are a few quick optimization ideas:
- Improve your hook: If drop-off happens in the first 5 seconds, tighten your intro.
- Test different CTAs: Sometimes a “DM me” won’t land—but “Comment ‘READY’ and I’ll send the next step” does.
- Check video length: Short attention spans are real. Trim the fluff. Keep it punchy.
- A/B test topics: Create two videos with different angles on the same topic. Track which pulls better.
- Use captions and B-roll: These can boost watch time by making videos more engaging (especially for silent scrollers).
Scaling Successful Content for Long-Term Success
Once you’ve found content that works—don’t reinvent the wheel.
- Repurpose high-performing videos into new formats (reels, emails, lead magnets). Use BIGVU’s Autoshorts feature to automatically turn your long videos into short, engaging clips.
- Schedule them in advance using a tool like BIGVU’s social media scheduler.
- Track new performance trends with your dashboard to keep growing smarter.
Great content isn’t just about one moment—it’s a system. When something hits, scale it.
That’s how your coaching business builds momentum—and how your video funnel becomes a growth engine.
Conclusion
