#anyways I think I just need to unfollow some people on instagram and tiktok and that’ll probably fix it

do you know the show outer banks? I don’t watch it but for some reason the TikTok algorithm thought I was important for me to know everything that is happening behind the scenes and as a larrie I just had lo laugh.

Apparently two of the actors (a man and a woman) of the series had and incredible chemistry off and on the screen, so much that the writers decided to make their characters a couple even tough that wasn’t the initial plan. Anyways they’re the best friends ever and are constantly together, inevitably people start shipping them irl too and at first they laugh about it and is all fun and games but them both of them got girlfriends and everything went downhill. They stopped hanging out together, people started noticing and asked about it and both of them and their respective girlfriends losed their minds and in multiple occasions told people that they needed to stop asking about them and their girlfriends were uncomfortable and that they weren’t an item and so on.

Given my background of course I thought they were just trying to create a little bit of drama for pr reasons but the more I learned the more I knew the similarities ended there because those two really hate each other now, the videos of them doing press for the series are painful to watch, they look at the other like they have the plague, their respective circle unfollowed the other one, they had to use body doubles to film a scene where they were hugging, the man not only deleted every photo of her of his Instagram but also the pics of him she took and the pics random people tagged them together and finally they killed his character of the series because apparently they can’t work together anymore.

Anyways, I laughed because not that I didn’t knew but this made more obvious how forced harry and louis was/is, you can’t fake two people hating SPECIALLY when they really love each other and are soulmates and all of that

hjdcjhdskjds my daughter actually told me they killed his character off, but I don't think she knows all of this (she hasn't watched it in a long time). I agree with you, though. It's so obvious H/L don't hate each other. Even if they broke up, they don't hate each other. It's just such a stupid thing to keep pushing. Louis has literally spoken a number of times about how proud he is of Harry blah, blah, blah.

Just wanted to talk about this because it is serious to me. It is concerning the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss fandoms. Mainly, Hazbin Hotel.

This will mention these topics: Shipping discourse, self harm, threats of violence, proshipping, mentions of racism, generally disgusting subject matter, and sa

If you are uncomfortable with these subjects, you probably shouldn't read this.

I have been getting sick and tired of the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss fandom lately, like at this point, it is insane.

Here are my main issues and incidents that have happened that I am tired of hearing about.

1. The recent "RadioApple is canon" incident

Now, I do often repost RadioApple art and do ship it in fanon, but not in canon. I am sick of people editing shit and making a big deal out of nothing.

The incident happened when Vivziepop posted a censored image on Instagram of stuff for season 2. However, somebody made an uncensored image with RadioApple fanart. When I told one of my Discord servers that this was obviously fake, someone threatened to hurt themselves if RadioApple wasn't canon. I had to explain to them why RadioApple probably won't be canon.

2. Another RadioApple incident

Why is it always RadioApple? A few months ago, I came across a comic on my TikTok page. It was of Cursed Cat Alastor, sa ing a cat version of Lucifer. Do I even need to explain why this is wrong? Because it is, simple as that.

3. The racist Alastor incidents.

Now, this will consist of 2 specific incidents. The first of which happened at a convention where a cosplayer thought it was a bright idea to cosplay Alastor, but paint their face and body black. Now, this is obviously inexcusable and has been labeled as racist. The second incident included the YouTooz figures for Hazbin Hotel. Some people are claiming that the shadow Alastor is a reference to the previous incident. I obviously think that theory is dumb. I do think it's lazy that Viv said, "Yeah, let's just make a shadow Alastor," when we could've gotten another character.

4. Proshippers

Now, I used to be friends with a proshipper. I say used to because we had a terrible falling out over an incident regarding proshipping. I will not name names or the server I chose to leave because of this, but it did happen. This person was a huge shipper of Lucifer and Charlie, and it made me as well as so many others uncomfortable to the point that we made a rule that she had to keep stuff like that to herself. She was a nice person otherwise. However, she is one of many proshippers in this fandom. I have found so many illegal, incestuous, and disgusting ships while searching for art. I am completely against proshipping. If you are a proshipper, I will politely ask that you leave my page and unfollow me.

5. The incidents on my Valentino blog

As some of you know, I run a Valentino roleplay blog, and I have had several incidents on that blog. The most common one I keep seeing are minors asking to do lewd things with me. It got to the point that I had to put a disclaimer at the top of my page even though it was already there. The few minors I allow to interact with my blog are friends that I know won't interact with anything sexual. If you want to interact with a Hazbin character and you are a minor, I don't know. Go to my friend's Alastor blog @cannibals-and-radio

The second incident, which has happened multiple times at this point, is when a user asked Val to hurt himself. However, this has happened in incidents where they included myself. It is NEVER EVER okay to tell a person to hurt themselves.

These reasons are one of the many I am embarrassed to admit I am a part of this fandom in public. I feel like my Discord servers, and here are the only places I feel safe to talk about my interests.

Anyway, done with my rant.

“Booktok” authors are so wild, I used to follow this one on Instagram bc my friend recommended me a book of hers and had to unfollow when she recommended one of her books when Taylor and Joe broke up, like… she said that “that story about a singer and an actor (whatever I don’t remember exactly but you get the comparison!) had a happy ending!!! 😵‍💫 Now my friend was telling me the same author is going through an impasse with her readers because she decided to write explicit content/every detail of those hot scenes when she didn’t use to do that. And I remember back when I used to follow her that she used to answer questions explaining why she preferred/felt good about writing books without explicit content… I read her post and she’s saying she’s not doing it for marketing or to get more popular idk, but it’s very suspicious. Especially for someone who apparently lives fitting the books she writes in trope boxes. It’s honestly so awful. I’m sorry I’m like gossiping to you about an author you don’t even know but I thought it was relevant to the topic jshsjsj The tropes thing especially makes me so uncomfortable, bc lately I feel like I can never recommend books that aren’t from this “genre” booktok created. Or NA in general became something that people read like their lives depend on it, they read every single book from those long “series” and I feel totally out of place when my friends are going on about those… :(

listen i have got nothing against smut or explicit content but i think the way that so many booktokers judge books based purely on "spice" is so strange. i also think authors need to stop with their weird parasocial thinly-veiled rpf books, it's so invasive. trying to find any sort of book community irl or online rn is so difficult when you're not into the booktok trends, i'm so sorry :( like some of us like to read books that aren't just a jumble of tropes written specifically for the algorithm. don't feel bad for gossiping to me because i am always willing to be a hater with you <3 it's just sooooo bad especially when i look at like the most popular books on goodreads this year and they're all tiktok books. when i tried using tiktok i looked through booktok tag or whatever it's called there and it was just like. the worst books i've ever read. and yeah litblr doesn't have the best taste all the time either but at least here i can escape the colleen hoover fanaticism. anyway if you ever wanna talk about books with me i'm always around and i loveeeee talking books <333

deleting instagram 11.25.2024

as the title says, i deleted my instagram this morning.

many reasons behind this decision, i was always a firm believer that if you wanted to take a break from social media and knew you wanted to come back at some point just delete the app, i didn't understand the point of deactivating. i understand now though as i decide to take this break that if i know my account is up i'm going to want to redownload the app and check notifications. i basically decided to delete my instagram because i am way to addicted to it. i'm ashamed to say that yupp i cared way too much about presenting myself in a certain way to people who just don't care.

this is embarrassing, but ever since my last ex, i've been a chronic who-viewed-my-story-checker. i usually look for guys that i am infatuated with at that moment to see if they liked or viewed my story, and it would always make me feel some type of way. i am also an avid "women need to stand up for themselves regarding guys who don't give a fuck about them" truther but i can't even front i post to cater to guys and other specific people in general that also don't give a fuck about me. so i need to get off. i have grown to cherish the people i have in my life currently so much, i don't even talk to them or post them that much on ig anyways. my friends and family that really love me and know where to reach me just text or call me anyways. the endless amount of stories that i view are from people that i don't even care about. it's just an endless cycle of scrolling past people i barely even speak to, but would be offended if i unfollowed, people i wants attention, who don't even think twice about me throughout the day, and bigoted idiots on ig reels. i have a good time when i'm not thinking about instagram. i have a good time when i feel like nobody is perceiving me, even if it can be painfully boring.

i'm not doing a whole social media cleanse however, i'm going to keep twitter and tiktok for the memes. twitter has lk become a brainrot ragebait website as well but at least i don't care what people think on there, and i feel like i can just mute phrases and block people that really irritate me (elon musk). instagram is just too superficial for me and i partake in that fakeness and just want a cleanse. if you see me back on there anytime before next year just put me down like a dog.

anyways, me, kj, bri, and zoie started a book club. the book we're reading right now is none of this is true by lisa jewell. i'm about 70 pages in and it's good imo so far. i finally finished tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow after leaving the last 50 pages unread for like a week because it made me too sad after the climax. it was beautiful and i'm glad i picked it up, despite some reviews saying it was boring. i really related to it and saw myself in both sam and sadie in how they viewed the world.

one sad part of deleting instagram right now (i feel like if i don't do it rn i'm never going to do it) is i won't be able to share and see peoples spotify wrapped this year lolol that's the only thing i care to see about others because i love music.

update you guys on how i feel about this decision later.. byeee

[morgansyorkie]

We are really out here trying to “cancel” someone over a fucking ig post that may or may not have been liked!! (I say that because some say that his like comes up and some say his like doesn’t whatever) BUT ARE WE FUCKING FOR REAL RIGHT NOW!! Good fucking luck trying to do that. I’m about to get real for a second and if you don’t approve or like what i have to say than so be it, block or unfollow me. But listen up, knock if off with the unnecessary drama, this doesn’t concern you or anyone else for that matter. Nolan didn’t do a damn thing wrong, he is allowed to have his own opinions about certain things and he doesn’t need to please anyone of you either. He is allowed to post and like whatever he wants to on HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT! (key word here is HIS not YOURS but HIS) i highly doubt that every little thing he does when it comes to instagram he is thinking oh no i shouldn’t like this or that or post this or that because the tumblr and twitter world might cancel me, he can give two fucks what any of us thinks, as along as it not hurting his family, friends, etc he doesn’t care (none of us care what we do on social media) Sorry to say it but this is the real world here people everyone is going to have different opinions on certain matters. ALSO WE DONT EVEN KNOW IF ITS HIM WHO THE GC WAS REFERING TO! So again, we don’t know the moral of the story nor do we need to, it doesn’t concern any of us. Holy shit please stop trying to poke and pride into people’s lives and business when it fucking doesn’t concern you! Honestly go get a damn hobby and life, go read a book, go make a TikTok i don’t know but stop trying to “cancel” people for fucks sake. You’re making yourself look ridiculous and stupid here sorry to say it. It also makes people like myself and others who follows Nolan for the sake of the game and his playing more so than his “looks” want to bash our heads into a wall and scream our lungs out! Like get out of dreamland and realize that no one is perfect, that we all make mistakes and have flaws! Secondly, Nolan is one of the most kind hearted souls that you will ever interact with or meet in your life. He is the real deal, he doesn’t try to put on a front for anyone. Lastly, if you wanna “cancel” him than so be it because he doesn’t need the support from “fans” like you anyways. Now you wanna know why celebs, athletes and basically anyone who has a name to themselves want to keep their lives private or want to get rid of their social media accounts, it’s because of people like you who again poke and pride too much into their lives, again just let them be. He is allowed to live his life they way he wants to and if your gonna judge and hate him on something that might not have anything to do with him than shame on you!! He deserves love and support from fans who are going to be with him through thick and thin, he is battling a lot right now so he doesn’t need this shit or need to be attacked for no apparent reason. Stop causing unnecessary drama, just because you want to start something and want your 15 seconds of fame or want a name to yourself or because you wanna be heard. At the end of the day his main concern is to get onto the ice with his team mates and play the sport that he loves so much again! That’s all I’m gonna say...so take it as you want to!

Fed up of people acting like Harry can’t be queer and also date a woman. We are not owed who Harry has dated, gone on a date with, had a one night stand with but when he is clearly dating a woman/anyone just respect that! Multi gender attraction exists and acting like Harry is hiding his sexuality because he is currently dating a woman is so wrong. I know for a fact if he had the same relationship and pap pics of him and Olivia with another man, fans and Larries would still call it fake as it’s not Louis or say it’s a PR stunt. I’m loosing excitement for Harry and it’s sad. I think I’m just over the drama, misogyny and blatant bullying of people with different views in his fandom. I would say I could ignore it but I can’t. It’s all over TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and on here. I block and unfollow but Harry is just too big now to never see these people takes. I think I’ve come to this conclusion after Anne clapping back and being visibly upset and disgusted at what fans were saying about her simply because she posted about DWD! I know Harry doesn’t have to speak out and it won’t stop the hate around him but it’s to the point fans are acting out because they believe Harry is loving what they are doing. His recent interview where he spoke about the hate his friends and loved ones gets and how it’s upsetting meant nothing when he then says he hasn’t publicly dated anyone and caused more speculation on his sexuality (we are never owed it btw but his choice of words eggs on some people) I just don’t get why he thought that was a good thing to say tbh. I get he probably didn’t mean it to sound like it did but it annoyed me and I thought, ok I can’t defend him on that one as it gave the haters and crazies exactly what they wanted. I’m just tired and I hate feeling like this and hate feeling this way to Harry but it’s gotten so toxic I can’t help it anymore. I think he needs to just state his mind at this point but also keep it polite. He needs to be more specific. People will still hate but at least his actual words will be meaningful and can’t become twisted. Like Robert Pattinson has done and other celebs. It’s ok to speak out at a certain point and I believe Harry has reached that level now, especially with the smear campaign against Olivia. When it got to the point of Anne being so upset it clearly shows it’s gotten too far, made me feel sick.

I would have preferred it if he'd said he was dating Olivia because him refusing to speak about it really fuels their theories. However, we have to remember that he keeps off Twitter, TikTok and Tumblr so he doesn't see what we see, and I doubt he witnesses much hate whilst browsing the plants and architecture tags on Instagram. Speaking out probably wouldn't have much impact anyway. Louis spent eight years talking about Eleanor in interviews and Larries reacted by making ugly memes out of what he said.

How to Become an Online Nutrition Coach

I didn’t set out to be an online nutrition coach. And I sure didn’t set out to launch an entire company like Stronger U Nutrition.

At the time I got my first client, I was the human-resources manager at a company with no connection to the fitness industry. I had no idea what to charge, how to deliver meal plans, or how to turn my passion for helping people into a business.

I left my job a year later. By then I had 350 clients. Today Stronger U has 69 coaches who’ve worked with more than 30,000 total members. Our coaches include 23 registered dietitians. One has a PhD in nutrition and exercise science. Many others started out as personal trainers. And about half of them started out as members.

What they all have in common: They know people need help with their diets, and they want to help them.

If that describes you, and you think you can be an effective nutrition coach, either part- or full-time, here’s the best advice I can offer.

READ ALSO: Five Mistakes Trainers Make When Offering Nutrition Advice

Step 1: Define your market as a nutrition coach

Long before anyone paid me for nutrition coaching, I was “that guy” on Facebook. I wanted to help people, and I shared advice anywhere and everywhere. There was no strategy to it. It was just something I felt compelled to do.

As I said in this article, I had ideas about nutrition I thought people weren’t getting from other sources. So I leaned in. I engaged with people and encouraged them. And instead of focusing exclusively on how to solve problems, I talked about how to head those problems off.

What I didn’t do was target a particular type of client. As I saw it, most of them had the same general goals: Lose some fat. Look better. Feel better.

People’s issues are pretty much the same. Same cravings, same life events, same confusion about what’s healthy and what’s not. It doesn’t matter if it’s a 65-year-old guy, a 25-year-old woman, or anyone in between.

So that’s my first piece of advice: Don’t narrow your market.

Don’t put out a message that turns anyone away. Don’t promote yourself as a coach who’s only interested in helping one type of client achieve one type of goal.

However, you also have to consider how you’re going to convince those clients to do enough to get results. You’ll be more effective with some clients than with others. Their success may eventually narrow your market to people who look at before-and-after pictures of those clients and see themselves.

But it’s usually a bad idea to narrow your market before you know for certain who’s interested in your coaching, and who’ll have the best results.

Step 2: Earn nutrition coaching credentials

You don’t need any education or credentials to get started as a nutrition coach, just as you can become a personal trainer without studying anatomy or physiology, or even earning a personal training certification.

But why wouldn’t you want to? Why wouldn’t you want to know the fundamentals of human metabolism and energy balance? And why would clients trust you if you didn’t take the time to earn some kind of credential?

I got my first nutrition-coaching certification from NASM. It didn’t offer a lot of guidance on how to coach, but it gave me a solid foundation in nutrition science.

You can pass some online courses in a weekend, but you’re doing yourself a disservice if you do. Take your time and absorb the material. Give yourself several months with a self-guided course like Precision Nutrition Level 1, which I’ve taken, as have most of our Stronger U coaches.

Step 3: Build credibility as a nutrition coach on social media

You can’t just wake up one morning and announce, “Okay, I’m certified. Who wants my help?”

I mean, you could, but you can guess how well it would work.

So while you’re working on your certification, you also need to earn credibility and trust. There’s no single way to do it. Some advocate for a specific diet or system, like Paleo or keto or intermittent fasting or whatever people are interested in at the moment. I went a different direction, with no fixed or branded diet.

Your first step is to figure out where your potential clients are. They probably aren’t on TikTok or Snapchat. And they probably are on Facebook and Instagram. Facebook is best for building communities, and Instagram is best for getting exposure and expanding your reach (for now, anyway).

Participate in communities where people can get to know you, and where you can be genuinely helpful. People want to work with coaches they know and like. You never want to be an intruder who pops in to offer unsolicited advice or hawk your services.

READ ALSO: How to Build an Online Following from Scratch

Give advice that gets the right kind of attention

How you present yourself matters. Nutrition knowledge isn’t visible. At least not the way people can look at your pictures and videos and see how strong you are, or how much muscle you have.

Maybe some people will give you more credibility if you’re jacked, especially if you’re offering advice on how to get the result you’ve already achieved. Same with someone who’s lost a lot of weight and is trying to help people do the same.

But for most of us, it’s not that simple. You need to look like someone who follows your own advice (because you do follow your own advice), but your biggest advantage will come from how you share information and offer help.

A few suggestions:

Be prepared for negativity

No matter what platform you’re on, or what community you’re in, one thing is guaranteed: You’ll get pushback on just about everything you say. The people you’re trying to help have heard it all before.

Moreover, the best advice you can offer tends to be simple, but your potential clients don’t trust simple advice. They think they have complex problems that require complicated interventions. You’ll see the same issues over and over again, and almost every time, the person you’re trying to help believes his or her problem is uniquely difficult. But you can’t come straight out and say that.

Speak to the individual as well as the group

Talk to people like you’re in the same room with them. Don’t lecture or cut and paste study abstracts to make your points.

At the same time, remember that you aren’t alone in the room. You aren’t just talking to the person who asked a question or requested your advice. You’re talking to everyone on the thread, everyone in the group, and everyone who will ever see that post. It could be hundreds or even thousands of people over the following days, weeks, and months.

Stay out of food fights

Don’t engage in conversations to score points or put someone down. You aren’t helping anyone reach their goals, and you aren’t helping yourself.

And don’t let other posters pull you into those conversations. Block, mute, or unfollow people who start pointless arguments or get rude or belligerent.

Avoid imposter syndrome

For many new coaches, your biggest fear is that an expert will jump in, tear your answer to shreds, and humiliate you in front of the entire group, including all your potential clients.

Three ways to avoid getting big-footed:

Don’t offer answers that would be easy for an expert to tear apart

Avoid black-and-white assertions, and never present your opinions as fact or your anecdotes as data.

Show humility and empathy

If you come off as an arrogant know-it-all, others will jump at any opportunity to knock you down.

Let the Wookiee win

If you’re afraid your reasonable, well-intentioned advice will be savaged by the group’s resident bully, find another group.

Some groups are set up to be a specific expert’s forum, or to advocate for one type of diet, and if you’re at odds with that person or that diet, you don’t belong there.

If it’s just some rando who’s dominating a group or an expert’s comment threads, and there’s no way to avoid interacting with him or her, you can report the person, or just find another place to share your knowledge and advice.

Build an archive

When you write a great post, or give someone a helpful, detailed answer in a comment, save the link in a spreadsheet, arranged by subject.

Subjects can include weight loss, body composition, macros, supplements, fasting, fad diets, and dozens of others.

Since you aren’t sharing this archive with anyone else right now (although that could change down the road, if you hire an assistant or bring in another coach), you can organize it any way that makes sense for you.

Just make sure you understand it, because the more your business grows, the more valuable this content becomes. Your archive not only provides you with a trove of answers to common questions, which you can update as you learn more and refine your approach. It also gives you a database of topics for future content for your articles, posts, newsletters, and podcasts.

Step 3a: Set up your nutrition coaching business

Everything I’ve discussed so far sets you up to coach clients when you’re ready. But sometimes, as I learned, clients come to you before you’re ready for them.

If you’re already working independently as a personal trainer, online or in person, this part is easy. Just add nutrition coaching to the services on your website, and make sure your insurance policy covers your new venture.

But if this is a new business for you, you need to do four things before you accept money from your first client.

READ ALSO: Create a Personal Trainer Business Plan in Six Steps

File any paperwork you need to get started

If you don’t know what paperwork you need to file in your state or province, contact a local business lawyer, or look for help online from a service like LegalZoom.

Open a business bank account, if you don’t already have one

And if you don’t have a good accountant to help with your finances, find one. Don’t wait until your taxes are due!

Get liability insurance

You can usually get it through a professional group or certifying organization. Or, like me, you can go through a local insurance broker.

Set up a website

The current Stronger U site has hundreds of articles and gets 100,000 visitors a month. But I started with a simple, cheap Wix site, which I set up myself.

Your site needs to tell potential clients four things:

Who you are, with a short bio and a simple, friendly photo

What you offer, and how much you charge for it

Where they can follow you on social media

How to get in touch with you

That last one is the most important. It should be super-easy to get in touch with you. And when someone does, you need to respond super-fast.

Step 4: Take on your first nutrition coaching clients

Ideally, if you’re helping someone online, there should be a natural transition to them showing interest in your services, followed by another natural transition to you asking for the sale.

But it’s hard. I know I still struggle with it.

And that’s just at your end. Consumers also have trouble assigning value to your time. They have conversations all the time, and with a few clicks have access to all the free advice the internet has to offer. Why should they pay you for things they don’t value?

Look at it this way: If you were offering tangible items, like cookware or supplements, nobody would expect you to give them away. You have to think of nutrition coaching the same way, as a product with value that people should pay to receive.

There’s a fine line between showing interest and concern for someone and giving away your professional services for free.

Even when your business is up and running, you have to be careful about giving away too much. Think about how a paying client will feel if they see you giving the same attention to someone who’s not paying for your time. In those cases, you’re better off giving the non-client links to articles, posts, or comments that help to answer their question, but don’t replicate the service your clients pay for.

Onboarding your first clients

Onboarding offers your first chance to wow your new clients, to let them know you’re taking care of them.

So right after you send a new client their first program, send a text to let them know you’ve done it, and to check their inbox.

After that, it’s in your best interest to do whatever you can to help them succeed. I believe in giving clients constant support. Nutrition coaching is different from personal training, where you have clients who work out three or four times a week. Your clients eat three or four meals a day.

And it’s a lonely process. That’s a big reason people fail on diets. So if you’re my client, I want you to know I’m always in your pocket. I’m going to let you talk to me when you want to talk to me. I’ll answer as quickly as I can.

In my experience, few clients will overwhelm you with their need for support. And the ones who get the support they need, without worrying about whether a question is dumb or feeling guilty about taking too much of your time, will get the kind of results you can showcase to attract future clients.

Finding more clients

Some coaches will read what I just said and consider it a green light to invest all their energy in their clients, who’ll be happy to take all the energy you have.

But you have to do more than that. As Jonathan Goodman likes to say, doing a great job is just half the challenge. You also have to make sure people know you’re doing a great job.

The success of your clients will certainly help you there. Sharing my clients’ results on my personal Facebook page, with their permission, usually generated new leads from their friends and followers.

To turn those leads into clients, you need to follow up. Few people will buy a package the first time they show interest. Checking in on them will show you care, and also remind them of the problem that led them to contact you in the first place.

And don’t forget about former clients. When a client finishes a contract and decides not to renew, encourage them to stay in touch with you. Invite them to stay active in your Facebook group, if you have one.

If you don’t hear from them, or see them participating in your group or responding to your posts, reach out to see how they’re doing. A simple text might convince someone who’s struggling without your guidance to return to you.

What about paid marketing?

You don’t have to spend money on marketing if you’re willing to put yourself out there in groups where you can help people.

And if you don’t want to put yourself out there, you’ll probably find that paid ads and promoted posts don’t bring you many clients.

Final thoughts about online nutrition coaching

When you take care of people, you’ll have more people to take care of. That’s why, to this day, 99 percent of our client base at Stronger U comes from word of mouth.

As I said at the beginning, I never set out to become a nutrition coach. I just wanted to help people. Something I did for free turned into a job, and then the job turned into a business. But if the business went away tomorrow, I’d still find a way to help people.

Does that sound like you? If it does, you just may have a future as an online nutrition coach.
