The benefits of taking your yoga or fitness business online
There are so many benefits to taking your wellness business online, and a membership site is the perfect way to do this. Combining online teaching with traditional in-person teaching can not only expand your audience and elevate your status; it can also give your income a nice boost as well.
Let’s take a closer look at the main benefits:
When you only run your business offline, there’s a limit to how many people you can reach and help. You only have so much time and energy to spend teaching. Not to mention all the people who would love to learn from you, but can’t make it to classes for some reason. When you put your teaching online you can teach people all over the world, at any time of the day or night. Just one basic video can help to teach hundreds or even thousands of people. That’s a pretty good time investment, isn’t it? |
When you add an online element to your business you open up a whole new stream of income. A membership site is such a good way of achieving this – you upload courses, workshops, stand-alone videos etc, and your members pay monthly to get access. That’s a regular monthly income that can complement your existing one, without too much extra effort. Obviously, it takes a bit of time to get everything ready, but our Speedy Set-up service can help you get online before you know it. How great it will feel to wake up in the morning to find you’ve made money overnight? |
When it comes to awards and accolades, applying for grants or funding, or even adding extra streams of income to your business such as speaking engagements or prestige teaching posts, an online presence can put you head and shoulders above the competition. Sharing your expertise and knowledge online is a fantastic way to show that you really know your stuff and can offer you some fantastic opportunities. Plus, you can use any press or PR you get to promote the offline side of your business as well. It’s a win-win. |
Bonus benefit – it’s FUN!
That’s right – adding an online side to your business is great fun. You’ll meet people you never would have met, you’ll get to stretch your creative muscles and you’ll make some extra cash in the process.

How SubHub can help you to profit from your passion
SubHub is a membership website building tool, which offers many features to help grow your business online, including member only content, recurring subscription payments (cha-ching!), live Q&A sessions and much, much more...
What you get
Member Only Content Your content can be anything you want it to be - videos, training guides, worksheets. If you’re already profiting from your knowledge and expertise in your business, then it’s as easy as pie to take it online and reach a wider audience. The SubHub platform allows you to set up different member levels and groups, so you can organise your content and make it available to a specific group. For example, beginners, advanced users, special diets etc. Of course, you can also offer free content as well - people love a good freebie! So, set up some free content on your site (perhaps a couple of videos or downloads), get them hooked and then convert them to a paying monthly member. |
Studio Membership Payments The perfect marriage of the off- and on-line parts of your business! Ask new students to sign up for their in-person class payments online. It’s a fantastic, hassle free way for them to pay, and for you to collect your money, and a great alternative to accepting payments in person! SubHub has a variety of ways for you to take their payments, either weekly, monthly, or annually. Once they have signed up, you can ask them to manage their membership online - leaving you more time to concentrate on other tasks. You can also set up promotional codes to give out to users - perfect for marketing campaigns and promotional activities. |
eCommerce / Store The SubHub platform has a built in store/eCommerce feature, enabling the sale of physical and digital products, and also Pay-Per-View content. You can offer member only discounts within the store, which is a great way to add extra benefits. If you are organising an event, boot camp or weekend retreat, sell your tickets within your SubHub site and avoid having to chase people to pay in person - simply send them to your website to pay. How easy! |
Training Programs Take your in-person classes to the next level, with online programs and workshops your users can participate in wherever they are in the world. And you can even sell access to your training videos to your non-members via the Pay Per View store feature. |
Live Q&A / Discussions Build an online community within your SubHub site using the built-in tools. The forum can be made available to members only, providing a 'safe' space for members to share their progress, ask questions or share their tips with others. And what about scheduling in Live Q&A sessions? You can host these via the forum, or even embed a third party webinar tool such as Facebook Live or Join.me. |
