The plugin is first in the industry to combine membership, online course, and coaching functions, as well as support for recurring revenue streams, in a single platform.
CEDAR CITY, Utah, Jan. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MemberPress, the world's most widely used monetization, learning management system (LMS), and membership plugin for WordPress today announced the release of CoachKit™, an online coaching framework built on the MemberPress platform.
MemberPress CEO Blair Williams said, "We haven't been this excited about a release in a long time. CoachKit™ is disrupting the 6.25 billion dollar online coaching industry big time by putting WordPress front and center, giving online coaches an easy 'in' to the recurring revenue model, and allowing them to expand globally. Things are about to change in major ways."
CoachKit™ is part of the MemberPress software, available through the platform's Elite plan level. Therefore it allows coaches to build an unlimited number of programs for an unlimited number of clients for one annual fee.
"With the current online model, coaches are used to paying per-client, which has made it extremely difficult for these small business owners to scale. CoachKit™ opens up limitless potential to grow in two ways – its annual fee structure and its support for recurring revenue streams," Williams said.
The MemberPress team built CoachKit™ to address what Williams said are the two biggest pain points among online coaches – high cost and complexity.
Traditionally, a user has had to piece together multiple platforms and plugins to create an online coaching platform with all the necessary functions. This, Williams said, is expensive and requires a high level of technical ability. CoachKit™ combines these functions, as well as additional ones, including memberships and support for recurring revenue streams, into one platform.
COACHKIT™ PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
- Membership management that allows a user to sell coaching services, and to sell their coaching program to other practitioners
- "Cohort" function that enables lead coaches to hire and manage under-coaches
- Research-based program structure designed around "habits" and "milestones"
- Integrated, automated reminder system
- Granular content paywalling
- Client management pathways
- Integrated individual and community messaging function
- On-site self-scheduling capability
- Integrated online course builder
- Integrated page styler
- Recurring payments support
- Built-in global payment processing through the Stripe gateway
Williams said he hopes the release of CoachKit™ will mark a new era for coaches running online businesses.
"Our goal as a company, everything we do, is to support small business owners [...] to help them succeed in an increasingly competitive market dominated by big players. CoachKit™ is a big step in that direction. I can't wait to watch our brilliant creators take this ball and run with it. Get ready, because it'll be amazing."
