I've been thinking more about coaching when I get titled and I was thinking of charging £25 an hour

What would be the best way to advertise my coaching services tho? Should I make bot comments on Reddit to say how great of a coach I am or smth? Maybe make a youtube channel?

What do coaches usually do ? How did you get to your coach ? What level would your coaching be aiming at ?

My coach just coaches me and most my OTB friends. I'd just coach anyone untitled lol

Coaches mostly just identify your weaknesses and suggest stuff to improve

But I'm fine with the content side of things, I'm just pretty sure nobody would wanna pay £25 for me when there's cheaper options from stronger players. So I'm gonna need a goated advertising campaign I think?

I mean what do they usually do for advertising lol

You could launch a start up company for chess coaching, with multiple coaches available. But that would be difficult, especially if you dont do commercial studies. You could get closer to a company that either 1. Helps doing ads 2. Helps little entrepreneurs to get bigger

I might be spitting absolute nonsense right now though

My coach is a GM he doesn't really need to advertise, people come to him

For minor titles like CM and NM you need to do a lot of advertising though, I'm not sure how though

Maybe I should make fake testimonials like “I was 1200 before cbb started coaching me and now I'm Anish Giri”
