To sell a rank-up coaching package from your bio link, create one Creator Service, name the rank goal in the title, state the session count in the listing, set one price for the whole bundle, collect that payment upfront before session one, and stage delivery so each session lands inside its own turnaround window instead of one open-ended deadline.
FanBell is free to start with no monthly fee and applies a 12% platform fee only when a fan pays (pricing).
A student who wants to climb from Gold to Platinum, or from Diamond to Immortal, rarely gets there in one session. Selling that goal as a single bundled package — instead of hoping the same student rebooks a one-off session every week — turns an uncertain, recurring relationship into one purchase with a defined scope.
What is a rank-up coaching package?
A rank-up coaching package is a defined set of coaching sessions — for example, four VOD reviews plus one live session — priced and sold as a single unit toward a stated rank goal, rather than quoted and booked one session at a time. The listing names the session count, what each session covers, and the total price before the student pays.
A package differs from a single hourly session in scope and from an ongoing subscription in structure: a package is a fixed, bounded engagement with a defined end, not an open-ended monthly relationship. How much do game coaches charge per hour covers pricing one session; this page covers bundling several sessions into a single offer.
Why sell a package instead of one-off sessions?
Selling a package instead of one-off sessions removes the weekly re-booking step, replaces several uncertain future payments with one payment collected before the work starts, and gives the student a bounded scope to evaluate. Coaching marketplaces including Metafy list multi-session bundles as one of their standard session types — the same bundling logic applies to selling streaming and channel-growth coaching, where progress toward a subscriber or view-count goal is also staged across several sessions rather than sold one at a time.
Metafy's help center lists five common session types for booking a coach — Live 1:1 Coaching, Replay/VOD Review, Text-Based Feedback, Bundles, and IRL Sessions — and defines bundles in one line (Metafy Help Center, "How to book a Session"):
"Bundles – Multi-session packages tailored to specific goals." — Metafy Help Center, "How to book a Session"
A package also lowers a coach's collection risk: instead of chasing the same student for a fourth booking after three good sessions, the coach collects the full package price once, before session one begins (how it works). That upfront-collection pattern already applies to single sessions on FanBell — getting paid upfront for coaching covers the one-session version of the same idea.
How many sessions should a rank-up package include?
Three to six sessions is FanBell's recommended starting template for a rank-up package, not an evidence-backed market norm — no coaching marketplace publishes a recommended session count. Three to six is small enough to deliver inside stated turnaround windows and large enough to represent real progress toward one rank tier rather than a single lesson.
Metafy's help center defines a bundle only as "multi-session packages tailored to specific goals" and publishes no recommended or minimum session count for one. Treat the table below as a scoping template, not as market data.
| Package size | Typical use | Risk if scoped wrong |
|---|---|---|
| 1 session | A single lesson or VOD review, not a package | N/A — price it as one session instead |
| 3 sessions | A focused push on one specific weakness | Too short to show real rank movement |
| 5-6 sessions | A multi-week push toward one rank tier | Can run past the delivery turnaround if not staged |
| "Until you rank up" | Not a fixed, priceable offer | No defined scope or end point |
Naming the session count up front — "4-session Gold-to-Platinum package" rather than "coaching until you rank up" — gives the student something concrete to evaluate before paying, and gives the coach a scope they can actually deliver.
How do you price a multi-session package versus single sessions?
Price the bundle below what the same sessions would cost booked individually, then subtract fees before judging the number. FanBell's pricing page states the arithmetic directly: creator earnings equal the fan's payment minus the 12% platform fee minus the payment-processing fee, which is deducted separately.
Published marketplace rates show how wide single-session pricing runs before any bundling. Valorant and CS2 coaching marketplace UpForge states that most sessions on its marketplace fall between roughly $15 and $80 per hour, with each coach setting their own hourly rate (UpForge, "How much does Valorant coaching cost?").
The table below applies the two published fee figures — FanBell's 12% platform fee and Stripe's US online-card rate of 2.9% + $0.30 per successful charge (Stripe pricing) — to three illustrative bundles:
| Sessions × single-session price | Bundle price | Discount vs. separate | FanBell 12% fee | Stripe 2.9% + $0.30 | Estimated net to coach |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 × $25 = $75 | $65 | 13.3% | $7.80 | $2.19 | $55.01 |
| 4 × $40 = $160 | $140 | 12.5% | $16.80 | $4.36 | $118.84 |
| 6 × $60 = $360 | $300 | 16.7% | $36.00 | $9.00 | $255.00 |
Every price in that table is illustrative arithmetic from published fee rates, not a FanBell earnings figure or a recommended price list: FanBell does not set, suggest, or cap creator prices, and the right number depends on the game, the coach's peak rank, and demand. Stripe adds 1.5% for international cards and 1% more if currency conversion is required, so a student paying from outside the US nets the coach slightly less.
What does each platform take from a coaching package?
FanBell charges a 12% platform fee only when a fan pays, with no monthly fee. Metafy Core takes 12% of earnings plus $1.79 per transaction, capped at 30% of earnings. UpForge takes 20%. Fiverr credits sellers 80% of the purchase amount. Stripe processing is charged separately from the platform cut.
| Where the package is sold | Published platform cut | Monthly fee | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| FanBell Creator Service | 12% per paid transaction | $0 | FanBell pricing |
| Metafy Core | 12% of earnings + $1.79 per transaction, capped at 30% of earnings | $0 | Metafy Help Center |
| Metafy Pro | 0% commission | $99/month, or $69/month billed annually | Metafy Help Center |
| UpForge marketplace | 20% | Not published | UpForge, "Become a Coach" |
| Fiverr | 20% (seller credited 80% of the purchase amount) | $0 | Fiverr Payment Terms |
| Stripe card processing | 2.9% + $0.30 per successful domestic charge | $0 | Stripe pricing |
UpForge's coach page states its take rate in one sentence:
"You set the price. Charge what your time is worth. We take 20% to cover the platform — nothing else." — UpForge, "Become a Coach" page
Fiverr's own Payment Terms state that "each Order you sell and successfully complete, credits your account with Earnings equal to 80% of the purchase amount". Metafy Pro removes the commission entirely for $99 per month, or $69 per month billed annually, which only pays off above a monthly earnings level each coach has to calculate for themselves.
How do you write the package listing?
A FanBell Creator Service listing has a fixed set of fields: Title, Description, "What you'll get", "What I need from you", "What's not included", Delivery time, revision count, and price (Creator Services). Put the rank goal and session count in the title, and put the delivery staging in the description.
Copy this structure and swap in your game, rank, and numbers:
- Title:
Gold → Platinum: 4-session Valorant rank-up package - Description:
Four VOD reviews aimed at one rank tier. Session 1 is delivered within 3 days of purchase; sessions 2-4 are scheduled one at a time as each prior review is delivered, so you always have one active session in progress. - What you'll get:
Four written VOD breakdowns with timestamped notes, one prioritized fix list per session, and a short end-of-package summary of what to keep drilling. - What I need from you:
Your current rank and role, your agent or champion pool, and a replay link or uploaded VOD before each session. - What's not included:
No duo-queue games, no account access, no guaranteed rank. Ranked progress depends on how much you play between sessions. - Delivery time:
3 days(this is the per-delivery window; FanBell caps any single delivery promise at 120 hours) - Price: one number for the whole package, not a per-session rate
The "What's not included" field is where the rank disclaimer belongs, because it appears on the listing before the student pays rather than in a message after purchase.
What should the FanBell bio link say?
One FanBell link carries every offer a creator turns on, so the bio line should name the package rather than the platform. Fans check out as a guest by card, with no account to create and no app to install, so the path runs from bio line to paid package in one hop.
Copy/paste lines for each surface:
- Instagram / TikTok bio:
Rank-up coaching packages (Gold → Plat) → fanbell.link/yourname - Twitch panel:
COACHING — 4-session rank-up packages, paid upfront, VODs reviewed async. fanbell.link/yourname - YouTube description:
Want me to review your VODs? 4-session Gold-to-Platinum package: fanbell.link/yourname - Discord pinned message:
Coaching packages are here: fanbell.link/yourname — 3 or 4 sessions, one price, no scheduling ping-pong. - X / Twitter reply to a "can you coach me?" DM:
Packages are on my page: fanbell.link/yourname
Each line names the offer and the price structure before the click, which is what keeps a bio-link visitor from landing on a page they can't parse.
How does delivery work for a package that spans several weeks?
FanBell caps a single delivery promise at 120 hours — five days — and a creator sets it from dropdowns offering 1 to 24 hours or 1 to 5 days, with no longer option available. A multi-week rank-up package is therefore structured as staged deliveries, each session inside its own turnaround window.
In practice, that means naming session one's delivery window in the listing itself, then either splitting the package into separate purchases per session, each with its own turnaround, or clearly stating that later sessions are scheduled progressively as prior ones are marked delivered. What the format cannot support is an open-ended "whenever you're ready" delivery promise stretching past the 120-hour per-delivery cap.
Should a rank-up package promise a specific rank as the outcome?
No — a rank-up package should describe the coaching provided, not guarantee the rank achieved, because a student's final rank depends on factors a coach does not control, including practice time, mechanical skill, and how many games they play between sessions. "Structured coaching toward Platinum" is a defensible scope; "guaranteed to reach Platinum" is not.
Framing the package around the coaching delivered — sessions completed, VODs reviewed, specific weaknesses addressed — keeps the offer honest about what is actually being sold: time, attention, and structured feedback, not a rank as a purchasable outcome.
Should a rank-up package be a Creator Service or a Paid Private Question?
A rank-up package should be listed as a Creator Service, not a Paid Private Question, because a package needs a set price, a defined turnaround, and file uploads. Paid Private Questions are text-only from the fan, with the creator replying by text or voice, and support no file or video in either direction.
A student sending replay files, a Discord tag, or their current rank and role before session one starts needs the file-attachment support that Creator Services carries. If a student only wants one quick answer — "which of these two builds is stronger for my rank" — without buying a full package, that narrower request fits a Paid Private Question instead, priced separately from the bundled offer.
How is a rank-up package different from duo-queue coaching?
A rank-up package is staged, largely asynchronous coaching delivered as VOD reviews, written notes, or scheduled sessions toward a rank goal. Duo-queue coaching means the coach plays alongside the student in real time during actual ranked games on the game's own client. A package can include a duo-queue session as one component, but the two are not the same offer.
Selling duo-queue or 1v1 sessions covers that live, played-together format specifically, and neither format happens inside FanBell itself. A rank-up goal is also not the only staged package worth structuring this way — pricing a speedrun route-and-strats coaching package follows the same bundled, asynchronous structure toward a different goal: shaving time off a route instead of climbing a rank ladder. The distinction matters for turnaround: a duo-queue session is scheduled and synchronous, capped by how many games a coach can realistically queue in one sitting, while a package's VOD-review sessions can be delivered within a stated window without both people online at the same time. FanBell's role in either case is the same — collect payment and hold the private thread where join details, replay links, or session notes get shared.
Frequently asked questions
How many sessions should a rank-up coaching package include?
Three to six sessions is FanBell's recommended starting template — enough to represent real progress toward a rank goal without stretching past what a coach can deliver in staged turnaround windows. No coaching marketplace publishes a recommended session count, so treat three to six as a template rather than a market norm.
Can a rank-up package guarantee a specific rank?
No. A package should describe the coaching delivered — sessions, VOD reviews, specific feedback — rather than guarantee a rank outcome, since a student's actual rank depends on factors outside the coach's control, including their own play between sessions.
Does a multi-week package fit FanBell's delivery cap?
Yes, if it is structured as staged deliveries. FanBell caps a single delivery promise at 120 hours (five days), set from dropdowns of 1 to 24 hours or 1 to 5 days, so a multi-session package is delivered as separate, sequential sessions rather than one deadline covering several weeks.
Should a rank-up package be priced lower than the same sessions booked individually?
Many coaches price a package below the cost of booking each session separately, since the student commits to the full set upfront. That is a common structure rather than a fixed rule, and the discount a coach can afford depends on the fees deducted: on FanBell, creator earnings equal the fan's payment minus the 12% platform fee minus processing.
What does FanBell charge for a rank-up coaching package?
FanBell is free to start with no monthly fee and applies a 12% platform fee only when a fan pays. Stripe's published US online-card processing is separate, at 2.9% + $0.30 per successful charge.
