The subscription-based platform provides users with the ability to create tailor-made coaching courses with individual modules, interactive forums, and the ability to upload videos and workbooks. Coaches can then promote their courses to customers, who simply follow a custom link and log on to JigsawBox.com to access their chosen programme.

Coaches are able to personalise their JigsawBox accounts with their brand colours and logos, so that all the courses are seen to be an extension of their current website. The platform can help coaches from any sector to boost sales online, with users ranging from business- performance coaches, through to life coaches and personal trainers offering virtual fitness bootcamps.

With a current paid-for membership base of over 1000 and impressive year-on-year revenue growth since it was first launched in 2009, JigsawBox is rapidly becoming a popular platform for delivering e-based coaching services. JigsawBox is the brainchild of Nicola Bird, an international coach who utilised virtual coaching to create a sustainable income of her own before deciding to invest in developing her JigsawBox platform for coaches worldwide.

Nicola Bird says, "The internet provides amazing opportunities for coaches to leverage their skills to make money and help many more people than they could possibly do through 1:1 coaching alone. My reason for opening up JigsawBox in this way was because I want to help more coaches reach a wider group of people than they could achieve alone. My personal goal for JigsawBox is, through our members, to help a million people receive the guidance and support to make positive changes in their lives."
