Starting Small

Starting Small

Many Coaches begin on Elevate Golf alongside other commitments. Starting small keeps things manageable while learning the flow of requests, refining delivery, and building early trust. A few well-delivered Tips can set the tone for everything that follows.

Quality comes first. Keep wording plain, focus on one or two actions, and present the message cleanly - see Tone & Wording and Using the Video Editor. Meet the stated Average Response Time and follow the requested Format, Tone, or Style so Players know what to expect. Clear, on-time delivery leads to stronger results in Ratings& Reviews and makes it more likely that Players will save the Coach for future Tips.

This stage is also a good time to test pricing within sensible ranges - see Setting Prices & Payouts. Small adjustments, paired with consistent delivery and a complete profile, help find the balance between value and demand without pressure.

Starting small is not a limitation. It is a foundation. Each clear, timely Tip adds to reputation and confidence. As repeat Players grow and saved connections increase, a side hustle can become a steady coaching presence on Elevate Golf.
