Life Coach Priya Scaled to 2X ROAS
Client Background
Client: Priya Dhandapani
Business Model: Coach
Industry: Vocational Training & Career Transition (Life Coaching)
Primary Audience:
Tamil women aged 25+ seeking financial independence, identity, and respect, especially:
- Homemakers who paused careers post-marriage or maternity
- Stressed IT professionals looking for an exit from the 9–6 grind
- Women wanting a “respectable” work-from-home career
Language Advantage: Tamil + English (major trust lever)
Entry Offer: ₹51 Paid Webinar
Upsell: ₹999 Bootcamp
Sales Mechanism: Webinar → WhatsApp → Self-Serve Checkout
The Core Problem
Before this funnel, Priya had tried:
- Organic content
- Book-a-call funnels
- Ads with multiple agencies and in-house attempts
But none of them solved the real issue.
What wasn’t working
- Leads were coming, but not the women who were seriously interested
- People weren’t aligned with the certification journey
- Webinar audiences lacked intent or emotional buy-in
Main pain point:
Not getting quality leads who were actually ready to invest in a coaching career.
Strategy Overview
Channel Selection
We built the system using:
- Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram)
- Email
Meta was chosen because:
- Tamil women spend significant time on Facebook & Instagram
- Video-based emotional storytelling works exceptionally well
- Entry-level paid offers scale efficiently on Meta
Funnel Logic (Cold → Warm → Hot)
Cold:
Emotion-driven video ads addressing identity, purpose, and income-from-home.
Warm:
₹51 webinar acted as a commitment filter, not a profit driver.
Hot:
High webinar show-up rate (~80%) and live pitch for ₹999 bootcamp.
Offer Positioning
Priya was positioned as:
- A trusted, culturally aware mentor
- Someone women already come to for emotional clarity
- A guide who helps convert empathy into a coaching career
Top Performing Angles
- “Do people naturally open up to you with their problems?”
- “If you’re a homemaker and want to earn ₹50k–₹1L/month…”
- “It’s never too late to start a meaningful career from home”
Execution Details
Ad Formats Used
- Reels
- Feed
- Stories
What Worked Best
- Video ads with Tamil emotional context
- Limited creatives, used efficiently
- Strong engagement (150+ likes on winning ads)
Budget Strategy
- Started at ₹500/day
- Never crossed ₹1,000/day
- Scaled carefully using CBO with ABO testing for new creatives
Challenges Faced & How We Handled Them
Challenge
Performance fluctuated daily… some days low purchases, some days spikes.
Root Cause
- Small creative pool
- The audience was niche and culturally specific
Fix
- Doubled down on video creatives
- Used consistency instead of aggressive scaling
- Optimized for quality & show-up rate, not volume
