add a few things:
1. partnering with influencers to gain followers etc
2. clipping + reposting livestream into short-format content

Some additions that could be useful:
- I think client testimonials and interviews would quickly garner attention on social media.
- Email marketing lists (Or access to other people's lists to promote the coaching)
