Thanks everyone..
Yes, the fitness channels are so saturated, I origninally began with a fitness channel because honestly after reading Think and Grow Rich I thought to myself if I could have any job in the world what would it be? And I said I'd want to have a life like Chris Jones from youtube who does what he wants all day, makes videos, trains, and make business moves.
So, I started my channel, and stopped due to the saturated market. Now, I am doing lifestyle help (hair, clothes, dating, grooming etc), but yes, there is already the Alpha M channel who does this. I also don't want to be seen as a "Scammer" - as in i'm teaching people to be successful (although not with money) but yet I am broke (well i'm a teacher in NY so i'm no where near rich).. But all of your suggestions are great-- I guess the question is can I have a channel that's different already than someone who is similar to what i'm doing- ALpha M... and its very difficult.. so i am stressed and confused..
There are a lot of people in the market, just as everyone else said, what makes you better than them? Find what you are fantastic at and utilize it. There are people who specialize in coaching in specific areas such as being a "style consultant" and there are a absolute ton of people in the "dating" market, yes there are the pickup artists, but there are also a lot of "real" relationship coaches as well. There is absolutely room for you to have a similar channel to these people, but you have to add VALUE to a large enough market. You also need to at least look the part, if are teaching about style, your style better be top notch, fitness you better be 6% bodyfat, etc or you will come off as being that "scammer," type.
I am not trying to discourage you, but when you say "I am stressed and confused" all of this over becoming a life coach, you might want to ask yourself "am I a life coach, is this who I am meant to be?" I am not saying it should be effortless, everything worth doing is hard work, but you should also find joy and be passionate about this, the best life coaches are extremely passionate about what they do, and love helping and adding VALUE to others.
My only successful venture outside a traditional job has been life coaching, I did zero marketing, started by helping friends and grew via world of mouth personal referrals, and I "fell" into it. I always try to help people, but began to be so busy trying to build a fastlane and focusing on improving myself that people realized they had to pay me to get my attention. I really enjoy doing it, but I know it's not my calling or career in life, it might be something I do for fun when I have already built myself the life I want.
