I’ve known Nathalie Lussier for several years. I followed her online for a bit, then eventually got to know her in a group where we were both members. What I’ve felt about her from the beginning >> she’s SMART. Super smart. And she’s also very gutsy. She bets on herself and has been doing this from the beginning of her career when she declined a job offer from Wall Street straight out of college to start her own business instead. It’s been quite an evolution and ride for her in business. And we go DEEP on this episode because ya’ll know that’s how we roll on Get Gutsy. Some sparkly gems you’re going to love: How to know if your path is right for you (and how to pivot quickly if you go off course) How she determined what roles new team members could handle to make space for her first baby The mindset she had to embrace to be ok with supporting full-time employees The magic word that makes for smooth sailing with her husband who is also her business partner The power of pop-ups on your website to increase conversions by a HUGE percentage Why membership sites matter Why you need to use ideas before they expire Who you are writing for when you craft your messages (this may surprise you!)   Dive in.

A few weeks back I told you to stop creating content. Now I'm telling you to stop buying courses. What gives? Keep reading! Or listen to this latest episode. Listen to Episode 98- Stop Buying Courses   Thanks to our sponsor: AmbitionAlly, the creators of PopUpAlly Pro! I use and LOVE this plugin. Check it out HERE. Confession: I'm a course junkie. Not even just a course junkie, but a resource junkie. I love to learn and I love to buy resources that help me learn. These days that's mostly courses. I LOVE courses. So why am I telling you to stop buying courses? First, for context, you should check out my post about why you should stop creating content. The main point there is the same main point here: Be a good steward of what you HAVE. Whether you are creating or buying more, first take care of what you've got. So...if you're a course junkie like me, what do you do? How can you be a good steward with the courses or information sources you have? Stop Buying Courses...and DO THIS 1.Make a List. Whether you are a spreadsheet person or something else, you need to make a list of the things you've purchased. Am I the only one who has bought a course and then FORGOTTEN I BOUGHT THE COURSE? Yep. Done that. So keep a running list in a Google doc or somewhere of what you own. Don't waste your money! Track it. 2. Make a Plan. There are two parts to this. The first is that you need to think about what gives you the most ROI. (That's return on investment.) What will bring you cash or benefit first? Consider what course might bring you a return for the time or money invested first. The second part is that you may need to go in order. If you want to make money with Facebook ads, you need to drive them to something. So you might need to take the course that helps you to create a product that you'll sell through webinars through Facebook ads, you'll need to first take the course on courses, then the course on webinars, then the course on Facebook ads. Make sense? First, plan around ROI. But within that, you'll need to plan in the order of how the pieces fit together. The actionable part of this is that you need to plot this out on a calendar. Make an actionable plan to complete the courses & resources so that you have the space to apply it. 3. STOP BUYING COURSES. Once you have your list and have your plan, do not invest in any more resources. Yup. Stop buying courses until you've complete the plan and the list. The caveat, of course, being if you find a really great deal that will expire. But you should ask these questions: Do you NEED it? Can you FINISH it? Will you have time to APPLY it? Ask those questions before you invest in any new resource or even tool. (Because often tools take time to learn and set up.) On then should you ignore the advice to stop buying courses.  With all this in mind, I DO hope that you'll sign up for the Profitable Blogging Summit. It's not a course, but it's a summit with 30 + actionable sessions that can act as a course in terms of training and information. So why would I tell you to stop buying courses and invest your time in the summit?  I ask you this because you can go in with a plan. You can apply the three pieces of advice I gave you in a smaller sense with investments you make. Make a list of the schedule. Make a plan of what sessions you'll watch. And take some time off during the summit week to invest your time in the summit.  I recommend this not just because I'm biased as one of the hosts. But because it was so hard NOT to take notes during these interviews. That's how actionable the sessions are. I plan to watch them again and to watch the ones that I didn't record. This is GOOD STUFF.  So despite my advice to stop buying courses, you should invest your time and money in the things that move you forward. I really do think that the Profitable Blogging Summit will do that!

But she turned down this […] The post Episode 75 – Fixing What’s Broken to Develop New Products with Nathalie Lussier appeared first on What Works.

This is a really special episode because we’re going behind the scenes in my business to talk about publishing with a content calendar. I’m joined by Maria Myre, AmbitionAlly’s own technical writer & editor. Throughout this episode, the focus is on the importance of publishing regularly with a content calendar, but also how to streamline…

This week we've welcomed Heartpreneur and Digital Marketing Expert Nathalie Lussier to share with us her secrets for creating a profitable business without the sleaze. Nathalie is a genius when it comes to leveraging tools and technology to create an out of this world user experience for your prospects and customers, so that they not only feel good while consuming your content, but become brand evangelists who share it with their friends and rave about you online!   Time Stamped Show Notes 00:59 – Introduction. 6:06 – Nathalie says that some of the common mistakes people make when they are ready to scale is that they create their first launch or their first course and it is not a huge success but maybe there’s something there that attracts attention or it hit the right point but maybe they didn’t have a big enough list yet to grow it. What Nathalie sees people do a lot is that they throw the whole thing out and they decide to do a second course or a second program instead of trying to reach more people with the same thing that you sold in the first place. So one must think that I did great with this so how can I improve it and reach more people this time maybe it’s getting more affiliates on board or improving the marketing around it a bit so that the next time you go out there it is even stronger.  7:08 – Nathalie says that when you want to scale you can’t do it all by yourself and she also struggled with it in the beginning because she had a team consisting of just one VA and herself and when she added more people they were able to grow much faster. 8:44 – According to Nathalie you need to find out is it a lack of people seeing your offer, is it lack of traffic, is it a lack of list building and thinking about those numbers will help you make the right decision so that you are focusing on the right stuff.  So don’t assume that people didn’t like your stuff they probably just didn’t know about it. 10:22 – Tip # 1: Creating free courses works very well and then you can focus your energy on marketing your free stuff and then people can go into your paid offers. So focus your creative energy on new ideas and stuff on bringing people in through your free courses. A free course is more powerful as compared to other free resources because you actually get people in your membership site, you also get their name and email, you get them to login and be a member and that member experience is one step above a subscriber or a website visitor and you can build a relationship with the members. 11:24 – Tip # 2: Once your visitors are inside your membership area you can show them your different courses or programs that you have and they can see what’s available. You don’t necessarily need to have a sales page with a buy now button but it is that curiosity and you are letting people self-select without being pushy. So when people opt in to your free course and start getting value and if they like the experience they are having with your free course then they are a lot more likely to say yes to a paid course. 12:23 – Nathalie likes to look at the stats on her website and she found that a lot of people visit her products page but they are not actually looking to buy but if they are in a member’s area already and if you are seeing the free course and then a couple of paid courses so they can’t escape it and if you do click through you can bring people to a sales page and give them some more information or promote special offers in the member’s area and you can give them some time sensitive reason to sign up for the  paid courses using a countdown timer or a special price instead of creating an evergreen offer to encourage  them to enroll. 14:33 – Nathalie uses AccessAlly which has one box which says unlock your free course and they see a greyed out icon or something that says I don’t have access yet and we humans have a psychological tendency to have access to everything and this way is not pushy if it’s not for them they are not going to sign up but if they are already in that direction then it’s a much easier and gentler way to get them to say yes. 17:11 – Nathalie learned a lot of these things through experiencing and practicing and trying different things in their membership site and you might not find these features of in other plugins because they tend to be built by mostly developers and not necessarily people who are in business as well. 18:28 – Tip # 3: As a course creator you must think about the user experience side of your courses and your programs. Nathalie has taken a lot of online courses and as a course creator she wants to make sure that people get the results that she is promising on her sales pages so she ensures that they do finish the course or are able to take action on the stuff that she is teaching. 19:18 - Nathalie gives the example of the thirty-day challenge where there are thirty videos over thirty days and that could be a bit overwhelming so they have put little checkboxes that people can check off as they are going through and if they wanted to come back to day 10 they can keep it unchecked so that they can come back and go through it again or take action on that and as they progress they’ll see how far they’ve come. There are also things like a video bookmark option so when people click that button it will start playing the video at the right spot. 22:00 – You can even go further with ProgressAlly so let’s say you want to have it as a certification or you just want to reward people after they go through your course you can actually have a quiz that checks people’s understanding of what they’ve gone through and then you can give them an auto generated pdf certificate. You can also follow up with people who haven’t completed something for a while so if they haven’t logged in or if they haven’t completed anything in say two or three weeks you can have your email system send them an email saying hey is everything alright you should probably log back in this is waiting for you and that can also increase people’s completion rate and they feel better at having used what they purchased. 24:37 – As the whole focus is on list building and scaling, people might think I created these free courses but how is that going to help me build my list but if you have really good content the people and people are  going through your free courses you can set up social sharing for them within your membership site and have people share your opt in page for your free course and Nathalie has noticed that about 20% of the people end up joining from social shares saying hey I am taking this free course come and join me. 28:11 – Your business doesn’t get built in a day all of us are extremely ambitious and we have great ideas but implementing them takes time and Nathalie says that your website is never done it is like the spiral staircase that you are going to keep improving upon and the same goes for your membership site and your courses you will probably have more great stuff to add to your courses or you might have new ideas for your membership site and the beauty of the internet is that you can change things over time and it’s not like a book where you publish it and you can never make changes.   Resources mentioned: 30daylistbuildingchallenge.com – Totally free to sign up and get more tips on list building.

Ever spend 5, 10 or even 20 hours writing a high quality blog post only to watch it fall by the wayside? Your new post fails to attract social shares, traffic or email subscribers. It’s the ultimate reason most bloggers quit after 3 months. So what should you do? Spend years honing your writing skills? Make a deal with the devil, go to sleep a nobody and wake up an Influencer? But what if there was a way… To drive more traffic and subscribers to every post you publish, to know with utmost certainty that every post you publish will crush it before you write it? Well, there is: Content promotion. About Cody Lister: When Cody Lister graduated, he stayed in New York to start his career in corporate finance. When Cody was 24, he caught an intense case of the startup bug and changed careers to work at two startups, one in financial research and news and another in social media reputation management. Before Cody worked at the social media reputation management company, he started managing pay per click ads for small and medium-sized businesses. Along the way, Cody found out that he had a knack for optimizing online ads! Once he left the social media company, Cody ramped up his pay per click advertising clients to turn it into a full-time business. Along the way, he learned how to write “epic” content and guest posts by following what the other top blogs were doing. (That means he jumped from “Financial Analyst” to “Marketing Director” to “CEO” as my job title) The issue then became scaling up. He's always had fire in my belly for helping small businesses and he love the impact paid search, content marketing and guest blogging can have on a business’ bottom line. But he knew if he wanted to grow his business and make more money, he would need to find larger corporate clients that could pay him bigger fees. That’s when Cody decided to start the MarketDoc blog and create online courses, to help small business owners, solopreneurs and bloggers grow their businesses by combining the power of effective blogging and content promotion strategies that work. There’s too much misinformation out there and he wants to serve as your go to resource for what’s working right now. Cody has been featured by some of the top blogs out there, like Lifehack, SEMrush, Kikolani and soon Kissmetrics, Nathalie Lussier’s AmbitionAlly blog and more! Cody writes at least 1,000 words per day because he enjoys it and enjoys teaching small businesses as much as possible.  About Vincenzo Landino: Vincenzo is an entrepreneur, speaker and host of the Brand Boost Podcast.
