The Starting Five
1. Podcast Promotion Strategies You Haven't Heard Before
I break down how to write effective digital ad copy, how to use local marketing to promote your podcast, and what to post on social media if you're involved in multiple niches.
Watch it at the link above or listen here.
2. 5 Questions To Figure Out If Your Newsletter Is Working (And What To Do If It's Not)
I'm getting great feedback on this blog post I recently published - readers seem to find it VERY helpful.
3. How To Create, Price, And Sell A High-Ticket Offer
You can (and probably should) charge more as long as you construct your offer in the right way - this will help you do that.
4. A Proven Cold Email Template You Can Use To Approach Successful People
You'll learn what to write and how to frame your asks in a way that makes people more likely to agree to them.
5. How To Get A Client To Say Yes To An Upsell
In this quick video I deconstruct someone's upsell pitch and show her how to reframe it in a way more likely to convert.
