Hi all,

A short background: I'm from the UK and I am a professional in my field of work, and want to make some additional income by offering one-on-one coaching services online. Initially I was setting up a store on Shopify and was almost ready to go until I started learning about GDPR compliance, privacy laws, and the endless rabbit hole of other laws and regulations that need to be complied with internationally. I currently don't have the funds necessary to hire a lawyer or seek professional advice, and quite simply don't want to take any risks by being non-compliant through my own ignorance / lack of understanding of the law.

I then looked at services which act as a platform for freelancers, like Fiverr, for example. I was slightly put off by the number of low-quality and non-professional-looking adverts on there, and am concerned that I could damage my professional reputation by using it (I could be completely wrong, but if I got that impression then it's possible that others will too).

What I'm wondering is if there is something like Fiverr where I can offer my services that has a bit more of a professional look, something like SkillShare or Udemy but for one-on-one coaching as opposed to pre-recorded courses.

Thanks for any help/advice! :)

You need platform where u can get job as trainer ? Or u have existing students/ candidates ? If existing u why not use whatsapp or telegram which is used in your country and use FB/IG to post your course Ad. Manage payment offline via bank or paypal or stripe link. Use free Google meet or zoom for classes.
