vrtual.ly includes several features designed to help you grow from zero signups to a steady stream of clients. These tools are built around how real creators grow: by showing up consistently, lowering the barrier for first time clients, and giving people more ways to work with you.

What if nobody signs up for my first event?

Every successful creator starts at the same place: zero signups. It is completely normal. vrtual.ly gives you tools to build momentum even when you are just getting started:

• Coming Soon mode – publish your event in Coming Soon mode so people can see what is coming and join your audience early.
• Invite contacts directly – share your booking link with people you already know: past clients, followers, or community members.
• Campaign links – create unique campaign links for different channels (social, email, community posts) so you can see which efforts are working.
• AI generated posts – use vrtual.ly's AI tools to generate social posts, emails, and descriptions that promote your page without staring at a blank screen.

Even if only one person signs up, you have taken the most important step: you launched. Growth comes from repeating that step, improving your message, and using the tools consistently.

Can I offer new clients a free trial session?

Yes. You can set up a free service or free event to give clients a taste of what you offer. Free trials:

• Lower the risk for first time clients.
• Build trust and familiarity with your style.
• Often convert trial users into paying, long term clients.

You can surface free trial options directly on your profile booking page or as a dedicated free event, then promote those links just like any other offering.

What are packages or consulting packages?

Packages let you bundle multiple sessions or services together at a single price. For example, instead of selling one coaching session, you could sell a 5 session or 10 session package at a discounted rate.

Packages help you:

• Encourage commitment instead of one off bookings.
• Increase the lifetime value of each client.
• Create more predictable and stable income.

On your profile booking page, packages are displayed alongside your standard appointments, so clients can choose between a single session or a bundled plan that saves them money and keeps them engaged with you longer.

What is Connect Now and how does it work?

Connect Now is an on demand option for clients who want help right now instead of scheduling for later. When Connect Now is enabled on your profile:

• Clients click the Connect Now button when they see that you are available.
• They pay for the session and join a live video room immediately.
• You receive a notification and can join the session in real time.

This is perfect for quick advisory calls, urgent questions, or impromptu coaching sessions where scheduling ahead would create friction.

What happens when someone tries to use Connect Now?

vrtual.ly always keeps you in control:

• If you are available, the client can initiate Connect Now and you will receive a prompt to join.
• If you are unavailable, clients will not be able to start the session and will be guided to book a scheduled time instead.

This ensures Connect Now works on your terms and never surprises you with a session you cannot take.

Can I display my events on my profile page?

Yes. vrtual.ly lets you cross display your offerings so visitors who land on your profile can also see your events.

For example, someone looking at your 1 on 1 consulting services can also discover upcoming workshops or live classes listed on the same page. This increases visibility and gives clients multiple ways to work with you:

• Private 1 on 1 sessions
• Group events (Live Classes, Live Sessions, Workshops)
• Packages or longer programs

Cross displaying your events on your profile is an easy way to boost overall bookings without creating separate marketing flows for every type of offer.

Putting it all together

Free trials, packages, Connect Now, and cross displayed events are all designed to work together. They give new people a low pressure way to try you, returning clients a reason to stay longer, and motivated clients more ways to buy. When you combine these tools with consistent promotion and AI generated content, vrtual.ly becomes a powerful growth engine for your business, not just a place to host links.
