One of the questions I most commonly hear from yoga teachers is “do I need a website?”. We finish teacher training and are unleashed into the yoga world feeling confused about what we need to do in order to be successful.
Of course, you don’t need to have a website, but if you want to be a successful, sustainable full-time teacher, I would highly recommend it.
Why?
Because it’s a place + space where your students can find you. They can follow you if you move, they can find out more about your offerings (cue sales funnel), such as workshops or retreats or trainings. It’s another space to advertise + sell yourself to your students.
On this episode, I walk you thorough the top 6 steps that you need to know to start a website, and why you should create one. I often hear that websites are too expensive + too hard to set up, which is why yoga teachers don’t do it. These are fallacies, and I share how you can set up a website while on a budget + with very little hassle. If I can do it, you can too!
