The Juggle Is Real

As August draws to a close, so does ‘Membership Month’. But we still need to go over a few things to prepare you to launch your membership site. So today we’re going to jump right in and talk about adding value to your membership site so that you can increase your profit margin.

In my last blog, I touched (very) briefly on hosting webinars as a form of content creation. I want to talk a little more about that in this blog because they can be a great way to add value for your members while reduc…

I love how a membership site can maintain an ongoing connection with your customers. One of my favourite things is the enormous amount of value you can provide them month after month, which helps keep people interested enough to stick around and continue engaging! Creating this valuable content takes time, but it has so many benefits. Building community for members and keeping their attention long term by consistently providing good information they may not find elsewhere.

Content is the backbo…

In last week's blog post I detailed how membership sites come in all shapes and sizes and include everything from simple blogs that require a login, to exclusive Facebook groups and dynamic content sites with access to premium content.

Running a membership site can be a big undertaking unless you understand your options and take time to set it up properly.

Basically, there are three types of membership sites:

- A free membership site - where members simply need to register with their name and…

Here is an automation myth I hear too often…

It takes too long to automate parts of my business.

Not true!!!

Actually it’s the opposite of true.

While there are some areas of automation that require a longer investment in time, you can get some super quick automation wins if you know where to focus your efforts and energy.

Today I’m sharing 3 of my favourite speedy automation wins with you.

1. Add an auto response to your inbox - let people know that their email has been received and you’ll…

Very early on in my business I decided to create a mini-course to bring some passive income into my business.

My plan was to create a 1 module, 3 lesson course, sell it for $27 and sit back and watch the money roll in.

So I did what most first-time course creators do…

I started creating content.

I wrote my scripts, filmed the videos, loaded them to my video host, created the emails to deliver the trainings, designed a super simple sales page, and wrote some social posts to promote it.

And I…

“What platform do you recommend?”

This is probably the most common question people have asked me over the last few years.

And it’s the easiest question to answer because I have one recommendation…

Simplero.

Doing what I do means that I have worked with the most well-known, and not-so-well-known platforms that can help you get results in your business.

Some of them are wonderful…

Some of them not so much…

And even though I have serious shiny object syndrome and a new piece of tech hitting …

If you’ve been following me for more than 5 minutes, then you know I love automation. Actually, it’s more than just loving automation. I am passionate about it, it’s my zone of genius, and I get so much joy in sharing the power of automation with other coaches and consultants.

But there is a big mistake that I see people making when they automate parts of their business.

They jump straight into putting the process on autopilot without considering how effective the process is first. That’s not …

If you were to make contact with me about automating your business, one of the first questions I would ask you would be “What are your goals with automation?”

Some of the typical responses I hear are 

to save time, 

to stop being so manual, 

to not have to do the things that don’t light them up.

While these are certainly goals, they are so general that it’s going to be very difficult to determine if you have been successful in attaining them.

It may seem cliche to say that you need to be ‘…

One of the questions I get asked quite a bit in regards to course creation is how to get started with outlining the content for the course. Once someone has decide to create a course this can be a big roadblock; deciding what to include and how to include it.

In my Course Creation Formula, I share the structure of outlining your course as The Roadmap to Transformation.

Through our course, we are taking our students from a pre-transformational state to a post-transformation state.

My husband HATES the little numbers that show on applications on his iPhone screen and he will do anything and everything he can to get rid of them, even if that means deleting the application itself (I know...extreme right). 

If you’re like him at all and get a little freaked out or frustrated by the numbers on your screen or counting unread emails in your inbox, then you’re probably going to want to look away…

But this is the number of unread emails in my private inbox (not my business ones)…
