Hey, I know what you are worried About Deep down you know you need to create an online presence, and how much it’s important for yoga teachers, but you are dragging your feet back.
Possibly you are worried about it will be too hard, too expensive, or too time-consuming.
but the truth is building websites is not hard or as expensive as people think. but now let’s talk about how a website can help you to grow your yoga business rapidly.
A Yoga Website that authentically portrays your essence as a teacher and speaks to the heart of the person stopping by to take a look!
The person that goes on to become your student because they resonate with you. And want to learn more about how you can help them with their yoga journey.
It’s all possible and it’s true for all successful yoga teachers – they have a website!
Do yoga teachers really need a website?
The world is becoming saturated with yoga teachers. More than 15,000 people graduate from teacher training each year (source). Yoga teachers desperately need any advantage they can get to stand out from their peers.
A website is a small investment in your future.
When a person is interested in something, the first thing they do is Google it.
A yoga teacher’s website is their resume, brand, and marketing vehicle all rolled into one
1. Become Effortless To Found Online
Imagine this…one of your common students tells their bestie about you and how they love your classes and teachings. Their bestie goes online, types “yoga – your name – their location”…and nothing.
You’re nowhere to be discovered. Possibly they find you on Facebook but the information doesn’t actually show them what they were looking for.
They were expecting to find out how you can help them with their yoga journey. They were hoping to find your website so that they could connect, sign up for your newsletter and book a class!
So instead…they move on. Whilst they’re there looking at yoga in their local area, they slip upon another yoga teacher. And guess what? They book a class.
This is the fact of what not having a yoga website means for you and your yoga business. You must be searchable and discovered in the places your students and potential students are hanging out online.
It also means you can keep your existing students updated so that if you move studios or have a new class, they can find this information on your website. And then continue to practice with you.
2. Builds Credibility
Having a website is mainly important when you’re applying for a yoga teaching job. The website immediately creates credibility and sets you apart from your peers.
When applying for a teaching job (or any job nowadays), a simple paper resume falls short.
A website shows potential employers that you’ve invested in your career and that you take teaching yoga seriously It also gives them a little taste of your personal style.
3. Connect with the yoga industry (people and businesses)
Your website allows you to easily attach with other people in the industry. Rather than being a random girl named Jane, you are Jane from YogaRockstar.com which comes with a higher perceived value.
After networking with the yoga industry – imagine all the new connections (and friends) you will meet. These connections will help you advance in your yoga career faster and have more fun along the way!
4. BUILD DEEPER Relationships With Students
Your new website will also be a spot where you can publish your ideas, beliefs, your yoga perspective. It provides your students an opportunity to learn more about you and your teachings so that they feel more related to you.
Building more serious connections with your students is a rewarding part of your job.
You can use your blog posts to extend your teachings from your studio to your website. Basically, this helps your students to keep coming back to you and your teachings.
When they see the value, they’ll talk about you with their friends, which will help to build your classes and following.
The students that you have a deeper relationship with will be the students who book your events, workshops, and retreats.
The beautiful thing about a website is you can publish one article that gets read by 1,556,970 people. Imagine how long it would take to reach that many people without a website?
5. Increases your average class size
Ok, but how does a website get more people to my class?
Let’s say a student gets a suggestion to take your class. First thing that students will do is google your name to try and find your teaching program. If you don’t have a website – you could have lost a potential student all because you didn’t put in a little effort to set up a website.
Most yoga teachers don’t only teach at one specific place. I’m assuming you teach at a few different places?
What if you start teaching at a new studio – how will your old students find you?
Having a simple website will increase your average class size by keeping your students informed of your teaching schedule!
6. Build Email List Of Your Future Customers
The most useful type of online marketing is email marketing. The most suitable way to collect email addresses is by having a website where you can direct your students and collect their email addresses.
Think of your email list as your tribe. These are the dedicated students who will someday attend your yoga retreat in Costa Rica or buy your book. They will be the first people you tell when you start teaching at a new studio.
How do you actually “collect” the email address?
Then you insert an “opt-in form” on your website which is essentially a place for your reader to submit their email address. Easy
7. Attract new students
Having your own website allows you to attract new students in a cost-effective manner.
When someone googles “yoga teachers in your city” – your website can appear.
Anytime you publish a blog post it’s an opportunity for new students to find and connect with you. Maybe you write something that a student really resonates with and they share your article on social media.
Who knows how far and wide your online yoga teachings will travel.
8. Make Money While Sleep
First off, of COURSE, yoga is not about making money. However, as professionals, yoga teachers deserve to be compensated for the value they create in this world.
Your website can be used to build your community online and market your retreats/workshops.
And you can also start earning money from your website alone, let me explain…
Oh, you’re still reading? Ok, here are just a couple of ways you can earn an income from your yoga website/blog.
- Affiliate Marketing
- Selling Banner Ads
- Selling E-books
- Selling a Course
