The Surprising Truth Behind Why Most Coaches Struggle to Stand Out

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, standing out as a coach, author, or expert is more crucial than ever. Back in 2019, there were an estimated 71,000 certified coaches. Projections suggest that figure will rise to 145,500 active certified coaches for 2024, that's a 53% growth according to CoachRank.com

The competition is fierce and getting worse. It’s critical that you amplify your message, raise your visibility, and make a lasting impression. But let's face it—most coaches didn’t sign up for this gig to become an expert marketer, graphic designer, or copywriter.

That’s where I come in. I’m Victoria Hepburn Pezzillo, founder of Helpful Content Studios, established in 2024 with a clear mission: to help coaches, authors, and experts like you leverage AI tools to refine your content quality while reclaiming your valuable time. 

Since I started my first online business over a decade ago and my certified coaching practice shortly after that, I have had to develop a deep understanding of marketing, design, and content creation. I’ve paid thousands and spent hundreds of hours studying sales copywriting, graphic design, AI, and automation from experts with decades of experience, all to make my business run smoother and look as professional as possible. 

Helpful Content Studios all started to help my friends - also coaches, authors, and speakers. I saw their struggles to create consistent, impactful content, so I rolled up my sleeves, streamlined their processes, and ghostwrote pieces that resonated with their audiences. I shared new AI-powered tools and the expertise I’ve learned from famous experts in AI, automation, copywriting, and graphic design over the years. I noticed that some wanted to learn how to create content more efficiently. Most wanted it done for them so they could go back to doing what they enjoy - serving their clients and talking with new leads.

At Helpful Content Studios, we envision a thriving community of helpers, healers, and innovators like you, channeling your energy into making a difference in people’s lives rather than getting bogged down by the intricacies of content creation, marketing, and branding. 

With cutting-edge AI technology and our marketing expertise, we simplify this process for you. By handling the nitty-gritty details, we empower you to focus on what truly matters—transforming lives and sharing your wealth of knowledge.
