Frequently asked questions

How much can a career coach earn online in India?

It varies with skill and consistency, but career coaches commonly earn ₹15,000–₹1,50,000/month. Income grows as your profile, portfolio, and audience build credibility and bring in repeat clients.

Do I need a degree to make money as a career coach?

No. Clients hire on proof of work, not certificates. A public profile showing your projects, services, and posts matters far more than a degree for career coaches earning online.
