🧭 Coaching & MentoringA focused membership: Coaching & Mentoring for people who want results, not another feed
With 6,600 monthly searches in the US for "life coaching," interest in Coaching & Mentoring is notable, reflecting a steady 3% year-on-year growth. Among the four communities in this category, three publish a monthly price, with a median of $49.92. Given that pricing is mostly unpublished and only one community charges under $25 a month, your clear pricing strategy will distinguish you in this space. Your course-led format combined with community engagement can effectively cater to this interest, drawing initial members from a fraction of your existing audience while allowing you to manage your commitment within five hours per week.

8,150 searches a month across these terms. Ranking difficulty 35/100, unusually soft for a topic this size. Search volume measures interest in the subject, not willingness to pay for a community about it. Treat it as the size of the room, not the size of the business.
The gap: Pricing here is mostly unpublished: 3 of 4 Coaching & Mentoring communities show a monthly price, and 1 of those 3 are free or under $25 a month. Anyone who states a price plainly is already unusual.
