Reesa Teesa is the latest internet sensation. She went viral for her 50 part content series called "Who TF Did I Marry?" that captivated millions of people. It's rumored that she's made hundreds of thousands of dollars (with more brand deals to come) from the series. When we look at her series with a content marketing lens, we can see so many reasons why this type of content works well. I don't believe this type of content is a fad that will fade, I believe it's here to stay. That's why I'm breaking down exactly what I loved about her series in this episode, including tips for using these strategies in your own business... without creating a 50 part series, of course.

If you've been trying to crack the Instagram code, this episode's for you. This week, we talk to Kindergarten teacher and Classroom Management Coach Gina Venancio about how she went from experiencing imposter syndrome and the feeling that she wasn't enough of an "expert" in her niche to feeling confident in sharing about (and monetizing) her passions as a teacher online. Gina walks us through her exact content creation process and how she uses my Visibility Blueprint to make coming up with ideas simple. She shares how she repurposes content, batch records her reels, and how she measures success with her social media content (spoiler: it's not her follower count!). Gina's reels are SO good, with some topping over a million views, and we discuss why this visibility strategy is so key for her marketing (plus next steps to convert even more of those new followers to buyers). We even dig into launching your first online program and how you can use social media to refine your offer suite. This episode is absolutely FULL of amazing advice for new and seasoned business owners looking to bring more intention and creativity to their marketing.

Ever wondered, “What are the exact steps I can take to turn my amazing in-person professional development training into an equally amazing online course?” Well… here's your answer! And it's not as easy as making a bunch of slides and recording yourself talking over them. (That's not easy, anyway!) In this episode, we're talking about alternatives to the traditional modules and lessons structure of an online course, especially for those of you who are turning an in-person professional development training into an online experience. If you have an online course and you haven't looked at your course completion rates or asked from feedback for your learners yet, we encourage you to do just that! Because if your learners aren't consuming your course, you're not actually making the impact you set out to make… and it could be the exact reason your course stopped selling. We'll share our top reasons for learner drop off and tell you how to avoid it. And of course, we'll share more about our PopStudio tools- because we were able to 5x one course creator's completion rates with our tools and methods… so we're sharing it all! Megan and I have supported hundreds of course creators between the two of us and have created our own online programs. We've worked with teachers, educational consultants, business consultants, and all kinds of entrepreneurs from dog trainers to branding experts to home organization gurus. We help thought leaders turn their expertise into a unique, shareable offer… and we love doing it! Megan focuses on creating the best online learning experience, which helps you get more feedback, better testimonials, and make more impact! I focus on program messaging and marketing, which helps you figure out exactly how to talk about the methods you teach in your online program in a way that makes people want to dive right in and then share it with their friends… immediately. We're so passionate about our work, that we've put our brains together to create a space for you to craft better learning experiences that are totally wow-worthy and shareable. Our newest program design studio, PopStudio, is your place to get support to think outside of the box when it comes to program design and marketing, so that you can create something that actually impacts… and sets your offer apart from the rest. Now through January 1st of 2024, we're offering support for course creators who want to work with us on the first or next design of their program. We'll help you sort out your ideas into a unique map of your knowledge, and we'll uncover your unique methodology so that you have the right words and visuals to share with your audience that will be different from what they've heard before. We'll help you create your learning experience in half the time (because we believe you can do so much better than a string of 20 minute talking head videos…. so we've custom built a platform to support you, where you can embed PDFs, demo videos, and other resources and add your own annotations to turn this into a one-of-a-kind experience). During our time working together, we'll support you from the initial map of ideas all the way through the launch of your program using PopStudio's custom creator tools to help deliver a learning experience your audience will rave about. We can work on your program design as part of our group coaching program, or you can snag one of our limited spots for 1:1 support, along with a private Slack channel and 1:1 support calls with our team of program design strategists. Both packages come with one year all-access pass to our PopStudio creator platform, where they'll be able to interact with your online course by taking digital notes alongside your resources and use our project management system to track tasks you've assigned. We're just at the beginning of building out our creator studio, so we're excited to get you on board to share your ideas and help us shape the ultimate learning experience platform.

Laura posted an IG story the other day saying she was having a pinch me moment because she's running her own business, writing a children's book, launching a new online program, feeling like she's winning motherhood, sharing her authentic, unfiltered life with 122k strangers that feel like besties, and is the strongest she's felt mentally and physically. She started this journey in 2019, and in this episode she walks us through exactly how she ended up here today, including her successes and her struggles. One thing I love about Laura is how willing she is to get vulnerable and tell her story. There's something powerful about hearing someone's story when they're just as willing to walk us through the bad times as they are through the good. How to be yourself and find your people in the online space, even when your views and style aren't for everyone. In this episode, Laura talks about finding your internet besties on IG stories, what to do when you have all the ideas and not enough time or resources to get everything done, and how to build a business that allows you to show up fully in your zone of genius.

One of my biggest inspirations in business and mindset is Amy McLaren, author of Passion to Purpose, and today I'm sharing some key takeaways from her podcast episode about getting out of your comfort zones, overcoming self-doubt, and taking action on the things you love. Amy and her husband, Stu McLaren, are two of my biggest influences in business, entrepreneurship, integrity, and how to use your passion to make an impact. I especially identify with Amy, because she has a background in teaching, but chose to ultimately leave to focus on her passions. She is also very passionate about women and entrepreneurship and has some incredible advice for following your passion, even when things get tough, your mindset junk gets in the way, and you can't really see where you're going. Today, we're talking about how you can follow your passion in a way that aligns with your values, supports your relationships, and allows you to be the role model you want to be for your children and community.For a bit of background, Amy is a busy mom of two and author of Passion to Purpose. She splits her time between leading Lady Strength, a growing online community of driven entrepreneurial women, growing an Airbnb business, and being a hands on CEO of Village Impact. Village impact partners with communities in rural Kenya to provide community led access to quality education and entrepreneurship opportunities. To date, this organization has built 14 schools that deliver education to nearly 5000 students daily.Links Mentioned in the Episode:Stu McClaren's website and InstagramAmy McClaren's website and InstagramAmy's NEW book, Passion to Purpose This is a public episode.
