017: Creating Online Courses That Generate Revenue For Years To Come With Bailey Richert In this episode, we chat with Bailey Richert from BaileyRichert.com Bailey is a business coach for Beginning and Budding Infopreneurs Bailey didn't start out as an online business guru. Like many others, she was caught up in the 'rat race' as I tried to follow what I thought was the 'right' path in life. She was high school valedictorian, graduated magna cum laude with multiple engineering degrees from university, and took a job for many years working the 9-to-5 consulting grind in California. "To most, it must have seemed like I 'had it all', but I wasn't anywhere near being fulfilled. I had dreams, goals, and ambitions that the cubicle life would never allow me to achieve. I didn't want to do just one thing for the rest of my life". So She decided to make a change. She left her corporate career, studied entrepreneurship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and launched my own online, location independent business with the goal of earning my own income from anywhere in the world. An avid globetrotter (then and now), she began her journey as an infopreneur by writing ebooks, teaching courses and speaking about safe, savvy and sustainable international travel.

014: A Passion For Creativity And Helping Others To Build A Business In this episode, we chat with Brock Shinen. Brock is a licensed attorney with a passion for helping others out. Here is what Brock has on the homepage of his website: As an entrepreneur, business owner, executive, or creator, it's critical for you to identify the obstacles to your success - and then learn how to overcome those obstacles. There is no one size fits all approach. I work with you to architect and implement custom-tailored strategies to get you to the next level. Here is a little more information about who Brock is and where to find him! For years, people and organizations would come to me with legal problems (I'm a licensed attorney). But solving a legal problem wasn't my only response. In each circumstance, I would see things no one else would see – communication issues, management failures, inefficiencies, weak structuring. Regardless of the title of my role, I wound up helping these same individuals and organizations address the underlying, non-legal issues. This ultimately led towards increased efficiency, profits, and productivity among my clients. My role as a strategic advisor had developed even though I had never even defined it. One day, a client said to me, "Brock, you're an amazing strategist. You should doing something about that." In my mind, I was already doing it. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized my client was right. I wasn't devoting enough energy to clarifying my role as a strategic advisor. I no longer wanted to only help individuals and organizations with legal problems. I wanted to help any entrepreneur, business owner, executive, creator, and business – large or small – become more efficient, productive, and profitable, whether they had a legal problem or not. In a single pivot, I took action and started doing it. I'm now writing for some of the largest and most influential publications in the world, like Huffington Post and Addicted 2 Success, and I wrote and published an Amazon #1 bestselling book, "Crush the Stops: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Finishing Things." I offer strategic advisor services to individuals and organizations even if they have no legal issues, and I write and speak extensively on these and other topics. With a spirit of humility, I believe I have a rare gift to offer the world. My experience, passion, skill set, and focus led me here. I thrive in seeing others succeed, and I'm uniquely positioned to help you get where you want to be. Let me be your guide to success.

011: Building An Email List And Trust To Gain Clients With Brad Finkeldel In this episode, we chat with Brad Finkeldel about his business, the best ways to build an email list and then what to do once you have grown your list. Here is the story that started Brad's journey of getting into business for himself: My big Aha moment was when a life coach told me I wasn't confident and that I was buying all my confidence with a big paycheck. I was buying things and experiences in order to get people to like me. She helped me realize that I was pulling all of my confidence from being comfortable and never stepping into my fears. I had the comfortable 90k/year job that included benefits, an amazing schedule and bonuses, but I should've been pulling that confidence out of myself. She was right! Fast forward a few months – here I was in a magnificent 3BD 2.5BA home that was loaded up with "stuff," but it still felt empty, my life void of people I cared about and I was in a city(Austin, TX) far away from my loved ones in St. Louis, MO.

How To Start A Podcast In this article, I am going to talk about something that I am extremely passionate about. PODCASTING. If you are thinking about starting a podcast, there are some things that you will need to know before you start and during the process. I am going to take my knowledge from creating over 250 audio podcasts and 125 interviews. The Podcast Movement Is Here The time is now for podcasting, and if you are a Doctor, Business Owner, Public Figure, or almost anything else you are losing networking opportunities if you do not have a podcast. I do a show called "Podcasters Unplugged" where I interview different podcast hosts about their journey in podcasting. You would be SHOCKED at the types of people that are doing audio content, AND the results that they are getting are astonishing. There may not be any better way to network and market your content online other than video. Podcasting Is Here To Stay A lot of times people look at the iTunes store and think that there isn't any room for their content. This could not be further from the truth. The beautiful thing about podcasting is that your voice/personality IS THE SHOW. You are unique, thus making your show different than anything else out there. Podcasting Benefits For Business 1.) Podcasting Is On Demand People love content that they can access immediately and whenever they want. Along with streaming music and video, podcasting allows the audience just to pick up their device and begin listening when and where they want. With podcasting, similar to YouTube content, people can subscribe to the podcasts they enjoy listening to and be notified when new content is published. 2) Podcasting Diversifies Your Content Marketing As a business, you should already be creating video and written content, and podcasting is just another form of putting your brand out there. Also, think of ways you can republish your content. If you have a blog post, why not record a podcast focused on that particular post. You will be targeting two different groups of people. Re-purposing content is key in content marketing, and podcasts make this much easier. 3.) Podcasting Is The Best Way To Network I have not found a better way to connect with like-minded individuals than podcasting. When I do interview-based shows, I am always getting in touch with people in my space, as well as making connections that end up paying off in the long run. Also, just building your circle of influence is a fantastic way to grow your brand. Steps To Starting A Podcast Alright, now that you see the benefits of starting a podcast, let's talk about the "how" part of it. Creating a podcast may look like a daunting task, but if you break it down into a few different parts, it's not bad at all. 1.) Purchase Audio Equipment Obviously, if you are going to start a podcast, you are going to need equipment to record with. I am going to break down the different items you will need to produce a great sounding show. USB Microphone --- The Blue Yeti is my recommendation for an excellent starting USB microphone. Headphones (This is important because when you record interviews and just, in general, you are going to want to listen to how you and your guest sound). --- The Audio Technica ATH-M50X headphones are what I use, and I highly recommend them to anyone getting into podcasting. Recording and Editing software --- You can decide to purchase audio software, OR you can use something like Audacity that is free and is PERFECT for podcasting. If you are going to buy software, I recommend Adobe Audition. 2.) Record and Edit Your Podcast Brainstorm ideas as to what you want your first few episodes to be about. I always recommend that you launch your podcast with ATLEAST 3-5 episodes. There are some reasons for this, BUT the main one is that you are more likely to be noticed by iTunes and listeners if it looks like your show is consistent. Set a time limit at the beginning of your show and stick with that for the remainder of your podcasts life. It is important for your episodes to be somewhat consistent in time, so your audience knows what to expect each week when they download your content. ALWAYS test your equipment before recording to make sure your levels are right, especially if you have a guest. One of the mistakes I made, in the beginning, was having an interview with a guest and not pressing record! After you have finished recording your audio, it is now time to begin editing your podcast. This is my favorite part, BUT most people don't enjoy it. Listen to your ENTIRE show and remove unwanted parts of the audio, as well as other areas of the show that need to be added such as the "Intro and Outro" (I use Fiverr and Music Radio Creative to do all of my podcast intros/outros. 3.) Design Your Cover Art As with thumbnails on YouTube, A podcasts cover art is the doorway to your content AND could be the reason someone listens to your show for the first time. The cover art for your show should stand out and be colorful. I always use 99Designs to crowdsource the design of my podcast artwork. 4.) Create A Feed For Your Podcast This is where a lot of people get stuck. When you hear people talking about their podcast RSS feed, this is what they are referring to. Find a program that will help you in making an XML document for the RSS feed of your podcast. I use a company called Libsyn to host my audio, and they make it very easy to locate and use your RSS feed to distribute your podcast to places like iTunes. If you use our promo code "Value" at checkout when using Libsyn to host your audio, you will get TWO FREE MONTHS of hosting to start off with. 5.) Publish and Submit Your Podcast Now it's time to release your show onto different platforms such as iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play. To do this, you will need to find your RSS feed (This will be found within your hosting provider such as Libsyn). iTunes and other distributors will ask for your RSS feed. Just copy and paste your feed from your hosting provider into iTunes and you are ready to go! It will automatically update when you publish your audio on your content host. 6.) Promote - Promote - Promote Congratulations! Your show is live, and it's now time to begin sharing and promoting your content. Utilize all of your social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and yes even YOUTUBE. I always upload a video version of my episodes to my YouTube channel to reach that audience as well. Include the link to all your podcasts on your profiles, and also make a Facebook post/tweet/email about each episode as it is published. Here are some more ideas for promoting your podcast: Interview a local celebrity who has a lot of followers (To gain their audience as well as yours) Upload a video version of your podcast to YouTube and Vimeo Include a link to your podcast in your Amazon author profile if you have one Make an agreement with another podcaster in your field to promote each other's podcasts. Other Things To Remember When Starting A Podcast Re-Purpose Old Content (Use an old blog post to pull content from to reinvigorate older content) Batch record multiple episodes in one day and have at least 12-15 episodes recorded and ready to publish at any time. This will help if you have an emergency come up, you will still have content to fall back on. Listen to other successful podcasts to get a feel as to what they are doing, and try and mimic that on your show. Include show notes on your blog. This allows for you to point back to a link for your listeners to go back to recap what happened in that specific episode. In the end, just make sure you are consistently creating valuable content for your audience to consume. Also, DO NOT get discourage with your download numbers. If you are creating content, consistently you will build an audience!
