How do you guys poker coaches usually deal with coaching sites? A fix income? Some payment per video you create...? Do you get a % of the subscription for premium content? Anything I should watch out for?
Another poker news website also invites me to write poker strategy articles for their blog. How much is the typical rate?
I know this depends on a lot of factors (my skill, my reputation, their traffic...) but knowing some numbers as benchmark, or any insights would be very helpful. Thanks!
If you're creating videos, it usually depends on your success (graph) and your popularity.
If you're a low to mid stakes winner with no real fan base, you'll likely start out closer to your poker table hourly for something like a video. Articles generally pay less than videos, and can take a lot of time. If you have a fan base/beat high stakes, you're going to look at a larger rate.
Coaching is based on supply and demand usually. If you're coaching for a private group, you should have some coaching experience already and a good idea of your hourly rate. That rate is basically a range in my mind. I've seen a coach that can fill 20hrs a week at $100hr, but only 5 hrs a week at $200hr.
Generally, new coaches overvalue their rates. They think their information is going to be incredibly valuable and damaging to the games, and they want to make sure they get a "fair" pay for it. They also have less teaching experience, and teaching experience is a huge factor in how good a coach a winning player can be.
