In this Salt and Light Office Hours session, Dr. Leland Stillman guides participants through practical aspects of building a health‑coaching business, focusing on content creation, audience segmentation, lead‑magnet design, pricing strategy, and relationship‑based marketing. Olivia seeks help defining her target market and structuring posts; Valerie wrestles with wording the elimination‑diet concept; Brooke shares her perfectionism and over‑thinking challenges. Dr. Stillman demonstrates how to ask probing questions in discovery calls, use feedback from comments to generate new content, and tailor messaging to attract either price‑sensitive or affluent clients. He also shares examples of leveraging local partnerships, creating premium offers with a charitable component, and using concise, specific social‑media copy. Throughout, participants discuss personal obstacles (e.g., social‑media fear, divorce, audience mis‑alignment) and receive concrete frameworks for lead‑magnet outlines, carousel posts, and community engagement tactics. The session ends with encouragement to post consistently, experiment with audience polls, and keep refining messaging.
