Have you ever wondered how successful online course creators generate consistent revenue without the constant stress of launches? If you have an online course or are considering starting one, this episode is for you. Today, we have Caitlin Bacher, CEO of Skill with Success. Caitlin's company is dedicated to teaching coaches and course creators how to turn their online courses into seven-figure businesses without launching every month. Caitlin has successfully grown her business to over $11 million in revenue, moving away from the traditional launch model. For those of you who dread the stress of constant launches, Caitlin is about to share invaluable insights into how you can achieve consistent revenue through an automated sales process. Caitlin advises focusing on a signature offer when your course still generates less than a million dollars annually. Having a range of products might break your business rather than expand it. Instead, zero in on creating a single, powerful signature course that serves a specific need. Caitlin's key to success is listening to her community and reiterating her courses based on feedback. For those new to selling online courses, Caitlin offers extensive resources on her website, including a free masterclass on generating launch-size revenue without launching.

Have you ever struggled to get the right people to show up for your webinars? If so, you're not alone. In today's digital marketing world, having a compelling topic for your webinar can be a game-changer.  Getting prospects booked on your calendar is one thing, but if those booked appointments don't show up or they're not actually qualified, you're kind of wasting your time. Instead, I recommend setting up your marketing in a way that pre-qualifies people. Push away those who aren't a good fit and pull in those who are truly aligned with your business goals. Webinars, masterclasses, and coaching sessions—whatever term you prefer—are far from being outdated. They continue to deliver outstanding results for my clients and me. So why fix something that's not broken? Let's tweak, optimize, and push for even better outcomes. If there's one piece of advice I can offer, it's this: Don't wing it.

As business owners, we constantly face opportunities to evolve, pivot, and even step back to move forward. It's about listening to your gut, making strategic changes, and sometimes taking financial steps back to leap forward eventually. What makes this week's conversation stand out is Jessica Sorentino's blend of entrepreneurial wisdom and personal branding insights.  Whether you're an author, a small business owner, or just passionate about personal branding, there's plenty to learn from Jess's experiences. Jess offers practical advice for anyone looking to build a personal brand on social media: Focus on Storytelling: Developing a storyline beyond your expertise is crucial. Show your audience that you’re a real person, not just a professional. This emotional connection can foster relationships and drive your brand. Authenticity in Social Media: Aim to make your social media interactions one-to-one rather than one-to-many. Picture speaking directly to your dream follower and post content that fosters genuine connections. Content Pillars: Define content pillars or categories. Jess recommends balancing value-added posts and occasional sales posts. Four of every five posts should be community-building, and one can be sales-oriented. Journaling Exercise: To uncover your unique brand story, Jess suggests journaling your daily activities for a week, highlighting recurring themes. This practice can reveal aspects of your life and business that resonate with your audience. Are you ready to take your personal brand to the next level? Reflect on Jess’s advice, connect with your true story, and watch your business expand.

Have you ever felt like you're just spinning your wheels with your marketing efforts, unsure if you're reaching the people who truly need your service or product?  Maybe you have a fantastic course or service but struggle to convert initial interest into paying clients. If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. Building a digital marketing funnel involves creating a step-by-step guide that turns potential clients from strangers to loyal customers. Think of it as a roadmap guiding potential clients from the first moment they hear about you to becoming devoted advocates for your brand.  In today’s crowded online world, relying on chance encounters with your website or profile won't cut it. You need to nurture potential clients through every stage of their decision-making process, typically needing 10 to 12 touch points before they trust you enough to make a purchase. Knowing your target audience inside and out is crucial. Research their demographics, behaviours, and needs to create a buyer persona. Get insights by surveying your existing clients, monitoring social media, and using analytics tools like Google Analytics. Email marketing automation lets you send personalized content to nurture leads through your funnel. Segment your audience, create automated email sequences, and personalize your messages. Dive into this episode and learn how to grow your client base.   We talk about:  00:00 Intro 03:03 The Five Stages of the Marketing Funnel 11:04 Building Your Ideal Customer Profile 14:48 Optimizing Your Marketing Funnel 17:57 Nurturing Leads with Email Marketing 19:18 Tracking and Analyzing Your Funnel   Resources Spotlight Theory: https://spotlighttheory.lisaanne.ca Connect with me Lisa's Website - https://www.lisaanne.ca   Agency Website - https://www.stockmedia.ca Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/LisaAnneCoaching Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LisaAnneCoaching YouTube - http://www.YouTube.com/LisaAnneCoaching  LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/LisaAnneCoaching  

Have you ever wondered how high-performing entrepreneurs manage anxiety and depression, especially in the age of social media? If so, you're in the right place. In this episode of the More Than Social podcast, we dive deep with therapist Valerie Martin, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience working with high-performance entrepreneurs. We cover everything from burnout to structured workdays and how social media impacts mental health. There are some key insights you will want to take advantage of. We also got into how biological cycles impact performance. Valerie shared her perspective on how entrepreneurs, particularly women, must be aware of their cycles and adjust accordingly.  One of the key takeaways from our discussion was the importance of being present.  Both Valerie and I talked about the need to live in the moment, understanding that life is not just about climbing the career ladder but also about enjoying the journey.  She highlights the need to balance work with personal life, ensuring that entrepreneurs don't just survive but thrive. Valerie provides valuable advice on maintaining mental wellness as a high-performing entrepreneur.  She suggests setting clear boundaries, recognizing signs of burnout, and ensuring that personal well-being is not compromised for professional gains.  Remember, even high performers need to pause, rest, and recharge.   We talk about:  00:00 Intro 05:50 The Importance of Structured Workdays 09:30 Embracing a Lifestyle-Centric Career 11:38 High-Performance Coaching Explained 15:22 The Impact of Cycles on Performance 17:50 Burnout in High Performers 19:45 Burnout vs. Mental Health Issues 21:26 Wellness Tips for Entrepreneurs 22:57 Impact of Social Media on Mental Health 29:58 Being Present in Life and Business 33:49 Final Thoughts and Advice   Resources Spotlight Theory: https://spotlighttheory.lisaanne.ca You Are Motherf*ing Enough": https://www.honoryourspark.com/enough Connect with Val Website - https://honoryourspark.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/honoryourspark Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/honoryourspark LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriekmartin/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@honoryourspark Connect with me Lisa's Website - https://www.lisaanne.ca   Agency Website - https://www.stockmedia.ca Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/LisaAnneCoaching Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LisaAnneCoaching YouTube - http://www.YouTube.com/LisaAnneCoaching  LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/LisaAnneCoaching

If you were to ask me right now, what is that one piece of advice I would give an entrepreneur who is looking to grow their client base through social media?  That piece of advice is to focus on your lead generation first.  As someone who has been navigating the challenges and opportunities of social media for years, let me tell you, it's all about generating high-quality leads online. Why focus on lead generation?  It's simple.  This strategy is what will actually help you grow your business, boost your sales, and expand your client base. Though aspects like posting content, engaging in trends, and being active are important, you're essentially wasting your time if they don't convert into leads or sales. Welcome to another episode of the More Than Social podcast! Today, I'll dive deep into the world of lead generation, focusing on attracting high-quality leads who are eager to work with you. I'm not just talking about posting random content on social media. If you're not seeing leads as a result, then it's time to change your strategy. Focus on posting content that brings in leads, not just engagement or followers. Many people try to generate leads online through typical advertisements like "Buy now," "Get this free," "Sign up for a discount," and so on. The issue with these approaches is that they generally attract price shoppers, not high-quality leads. A well-crafted lead magnet will attract people who genuinely want to work with you because of your expertise. Once you’ve identified your ideal lead magnet, integrate it into your social media strategy. Get on social media, talk about your freebie, and get people into your bubble. Convert social media followers into email list subscribers, and you'll be well on your way to generating quality leads. Focusing on lead generation and employing one or more of these lead magnets can significantly enhance your business's growth on social media. Go ahead, implement these strategies, and watch your business flourish. We talk about:  00:00 Intro 01:36 The Power of Lead Magnets 03:29 Common Mistakes and Best Practices 03:49 10 Effective Lead Magnet Examples 14:36 Implementing Your Lead Generation Strategy 16:00 Conclusion and Next Step   Resources Spotlight Theory: https://spotlighttheory.lisaanne.ca Connect with me Lisa's Website - https://www.lisaanne.ca   Agency Website - https://www.stockmedia.ca Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/LisaAnneCoaching Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LisaAnneCoaching YouTube - http://www.YouTube.com/LisaAnneCoaching  LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/LisaAnneCoaching

Have you ever wondered how you can attract new clients, even if you're an introvert? Socializing and interacting with people can be daunting for many, but it doesn't have to be an impossible hurdle for your business.  As an introverted entrepreneur, in this episode, I share seven strategies to help introverts thrive in attracting new clients without the stress of constant socializing. As you'll hear in this episode, being an introvert doesn't mean you have to constantly present yourself in person.  One of the best ways to attract clients is by using online platforms. Introverts often thrive behind a screen, where they can thoughtfully compose their messages and engage with others at their own pace. Leveraging social media, websites, and email marketing can significantly expand your reach without stepping out of your comfort zone. Create valuable content that showcases your expertise. This can be in blog posts, videos, podcasts, or any other medium you're comfortable with. By demonstrating your knowledge and skills, potential clients will be naturally drawn to you for your expertise, and this can happen without the need for constant direct interaction. Introverts can indeed thrive in attracting new clients by leveraging these strategies. It's all about finding ways to align with your strengths and comfort. Embrace the digital age, focus on quality relationships, and let your expertise shine through various content channels. Remember, you don't have to shout from the rooftops to be heard — sometimes, the quiet and thoughtful approach is the most effective. Hear all of my best tips in this episode! We talk about:  00:00 Intro 01:43 The Power of Online Presence for Introverts 05:49 Creating Engaging Content 06:51 Email Marketing Tips 08:12 Hosting Online Workshops and Masterclasses 09:42 Leveraging Client Referrals 10:49 Optimizing Your Onboarding Process 11:55 Enhancing Your Website with SEO 13:55 Networking Strategies for Introverts 14:58 Nurturing Existing Relationships   Resources Spotlight Theory: https://spotlighttheory.lisaanne.ca https://lisaanne.ca/referral-marketing-how-to-turn-clients-into-your-best-advocates/ Connect with me Lisa's Website - https://www.lisaanne.ca   Agency Website - https://www.stockmedia.ca Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/LisaAnneCoaching Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LisaAnneCoaching YouTube - http://www.YouTube.com/LisaAnneCoaching  LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/LisaAnneCoaching

Are you a solopreneur looking to scale your business without bringing on an entire team?  In this week's episode, I am thrilled to introduce you to Jessica Freeman, owner of Jess Creatives.  As a seasoned website designer and SEO strategist, Jess shares her insights on building a successful solopreneur business and optimizing SEO efforts. Jess Freeman is the creative force behind Jess Creatives. With a background in website and graphic design, Jess started her journey in college and took her business full-time in 2014 when she was just 24 years old.  She provides comprehensive web design and SEO services, including hands-on SEO for clients ranging from brick-and-mortar shops to solo business owners. Her story is of hard work, efficiency, and continuous adaptation to the evolving digital landscape. Jess shares that automation tools and software are crucial to managing her business without a larger team. Tools like HoneyBook streamline her client onboarding process, and automated social media management tools like Social Bee help maintain a consistent online presence. Jess emphasizes the importance of having a structured, efficient workflow and not getting bogged down by perfectionism. One of the main focuses of this insightful interview is SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Jess explains that SEO optimizes website content to rank higher in search engine results. This involves using relevant keywords in a natural and non-spammy way, ensuring web pages provide valuable and comprehensive information to users. Jess emphasizes the importance of not relying too heavily on one marketing channel. Whether it’s social media, SEO, or email marketing, diversifying helps ensure business stability.

In the hustle and bustle of entrepreneurship, the word "no" often gets overshadowed by the constant pressure to say yes to every opportunity that comes our way.  However, what if I told you that saying "no" could be the key to unlocking your full business potential? In this episode, we explore the transformative power of setting boundaries and embracing the word "no." Through my journey, I've learned that saying "no" was not about shutting doors but wisely choosing which ones to open. By setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care, I reclaimed my time and sanity and made better leadership decisions. My transformation shows how saying "no" can lead to saying "yes" to opportunities that align with your goals and values. One of the most important lessons I share is the importance of setting boundaries for self-care and business growth. By learning to say "no" to projects and clients that do not respect my time or expertise, I attracted a loyal client base and saw her business thrive.  I encourage you to embrace the strength of saying "no" and watch your business soar. By setting boundaries, saving time and energy, and staying true to their visions, entrepreneurs can empower themselves to open new doors and reach new heights of success. Saying "no" is not a weakness but a strength that can lead to transformative growth and fulfillment in business.   We talk about:  00:00 Intro 02:06 Saying 'No' to Say 'Yes' to Growth 02:32 The Wake-Up Call: Hitting Rock Bottom 03:26 Embracing No: The Path to a Thriving Business  03:50 The Five Big Benefits of Saying No 04:06 Prioritizing What Truly Matters 05:55 Setting Boundaries for Self-Care and Business Growth 12:37 Concluding Thoughts: The Strength in Saying No   Resources Spotlight Theory: https://spotlighttheory.lisaanne.ca/   Connect with me Lisa's Website - https://www.lisaanne.ca   Agency Website - https://www.stockmedia.ca Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/LisaAnneCoaching Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LisaAnneCoaching YouTube - http://www.YouTube.com/LisaAnneCoaching  LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/LisaAnneCoaching
