What changed: Made the first H2 a question, dropped two citations we could not verify, and added the fatigue forecast and hook writer.

Facebook ads are the primary channel for coaches, with webinar signups averaging $5-15 and VSL opt-ins at $3-8. High-ticket coaches ($3K+) need a webinar-to-call funnel, while low-ticket creators ($50-500) can sell directly with 1.5-3x ROAS.

Key Takeaways

✓Average webinar signup cost: $5-15; VSL opt-in: $3-8 on Facebook ads
✓High-ticket coaches need 50-100 webinar registrants per sale on average
✓Low-ticket creators see 1.5-3x ROAS selling directly via Advantage+ campaigns

Does a coaching funnel change with the price point?

High-ticket ($3K+): ad to webinar to application to call. Budget $5,000+/month, $5-15 per signup, 1-2% webinar-to-sale. Low-ticket ($50-500): direct-to-sale Advantage+ campaigns, 1.5-3x ROAS, $1,000-3,000/month.

Webinar Funnel Optimization

Optimize show-up rate (avg 25-35%) with 3 reminder sequences. Replay campaigns capture no-shows at 60% of live conversion rate. Webinar titles matter more than ad creative — test titles as hooks. Track cost per application, not just registrations.

Scaling Without Killing Profitability

Walls at $5K (lookalikes), $15K (expand to interests), $50K+ (go broad). Each tier requires new creative angles. Refresh every 2 weeks — coaching audiences fatigue 40% faster than ecommerce due to smaller pools.

FAQ

Common questions

How much should coaches spend on Facebook ads?

High-ticket: $5,000-10,000/month for webinar funnels. Low-ticket: $1,000-3,000/month for direct sales. Need 100+ signups for meaningful data.

What's the best funnel for coaching ads?

Over $3K: ad to webinar to application to call. Under $500: ad to sales page to purchase. The funnel must match the price point.

Why do coaching ads stop working?

Creative fatigue — smaller audiences mean frequency climbs fast. Refresh every 2 weeks, rotating testimonials, value content, and direct offers.
