“The biggest mistake that I see speakers make is that they think that if you just go on stage, and you do a good job speaking, the spinoff business will magically present itself.”Being on stage is pretty much always the most fun and most rewarding part of being a professional paid speaker — but as all experienced speakers know, what happens on stage is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to building a successful speaking business.

Arel and Grant talk about how to build a solid reputation, nurture relationships, and leverage connections to turn one speaking gig into two or three more. Arel goes into detail about his challenges while starting out as a speaker and what tools he used to break into the industry and get past the toughest part: getting his first gig. Finally, Arel talks about a tool called Talkadot that speakers can use to expand their reach and build more connections from the stage.

Following on from last week, in this episode we are chatting about why you need to be completely in love with and head over heels with your brand if you expect anyone else to feel the same way about it. It all starts with you and how you feel towards your brand. If you aren't loving your brand and if you aren't able to back your own brand, your audience is not going to feel that way either. When we fall out of love with one particular area or multiple areas of our brand, it's really hard for us to get out there, sell and be proud of it and to have other people in our audience genuinely believe that too.What I cover in this episode:The importance of loving your brand for your audience to feel the sameHow being unaligned with your brand can impact your visuals, messaging, content and trust with your audienceWhy trust is so important in today's day and age, where consumers are more smart and aware than ever beforeWhat to do next if you don't feel absolutely obsessed with your brand---Access The Brand Lab here.Join Studio Society here. Enrol in my brand strategy mini-course, Be That Brand.Want to work with me?

Tell me if this sounds familiar. You've identified what you want from a decision maker and you're ready to make your case. You got your facts all lined up. Your logic flow is great.  You've got your slide deck and your one-pager all set. Your infographics are brilliant. And then you lay it all out for the decision maker. And it falls flat. They don't buy what you're selling. They don't engage. Maybe they don't even fully pay attention to your whole pitch. And you're left wondering what the heck happened. You gave them every piece of information they need to make the right decision. The facts are all there. The logic is all there. How come they're not getting it? If anything like this has ever happened to you, you know how frustrating it is. And it's easy to think that the problem is the decision maker. But the reality is, it's very likely that your messaging strategy is flawed. That you skipped some critical steps in the engagement process. And it's very possible that your informational materials are missing some key content. The good news is you can fix all of that. In this episode, we reveal:The hidden assumptions we make when delivering information, and how they create friction with our audienceWhy the method you were taught for how to build a case will fail to persuade most decisionmakersHow to structure your conversation with a decisionmaker to get them to engageHow to use informational tools successfully as part of an engagement strategy (and what not to do!)How to improve the effectiveness of the informational tools you're already usingThe key questions you must answer if you want to successfully persuade a  decisionmaker to help youThe critical step many nonprofit leaders skip when persuading a decisionmaker to actI'd love to hear about how you've fine-tuned your informational tools using the principles we shared in this episode.  Connect with me on LinkedIn @The Nonprofit Power Podcast, or on the podcast website.

Jessie Frances was never really drawn to social media.   Growing up in Southeast D.C., Jessie gravitated towards fashion, spending what little money was available to her on thrifted clothing to bring her joy during a difficult time. It started as a way to connect with her mother. Today, her outfits have been viewed over 50 million times on Instagram and 1.3 billion times on TikTok through her blog Cappuccinos and Consignment by her many fans, who she affectionately refers to as "mes amis."    Jessie's journey is an absolute whirlwind. From starting her social media journey while caring for her hospitalized son to losing her mother during the pandemic, she continues to share moments like this with her audience to foster truly intimate, authentic connections. In this conversation, Jessie talks about why "niching down" was never the reason for her success as an influencer. She also dives into the many life lessons from her late mother that she continues to reflect on, and why moving past the desire to be "perfect" gets easier over time.  Follow Jessie on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.Learn more about Cappucinos and Consignment.  In this episode, we cover:Jessie's sprawling journey to start and scale Cappuccinos and ConsignmentWhy "niching down" isn't the answer to developing a meaningful, lasting relationship with your audienceWhy seeking perfection is really just another form of procrastinationThe most impactful life lessons that Jessie learned from her motherDistancing yourself from the expectations of others to enjoy your life right now Quote of the Week:“Once I let go of this, I'd say, very antiquated thought of perfection, that's when I was able to live, knowing that things will never be perfect." - Jessie Frances  Hosted by Katherin Vasilopoulos.

Have you ever heard that you can't create a $1 million business off of a smaller offer? That simply isn't true and today's guest is proof of that. In this episode of Art of Online Business, I sat down with Jessica Berk from Awesome Little Sleepers to talk about how she did that in her niche within a niche. In this case study, we talk about how Jessica runs an evergreen funnel to her course and gets better sales than when she offered live launches. In this episode, she's here to share exactly what she does, how she does it, and how she got to where she is today. You'll also get some behind-the-scenes coaching so you can see how I am working with Jessica to solidify her business so that she can scale it even more. When her 3 year old moved to a big girl bed and started refusing to go to bed and waking up at all hours of the night, she felt like she had a newborn again. She and her husband were miserable! She decided she couldn't survive like this.Everyone talks about sleep struggles when you have a baby, but no one was talking about the sleep struggles that happen when kids get bigger!So, she learned everything she could about toddler development and behavior and got certified as a sleep coach.She's spent the last 7 years perfecting a foolproof framework, the REST Method™, to turn kids into independent sleepers.And she's successfully helped thousands of parents with even the most strong-willed kids get them to bed happily before 8pm and sleeping soundly 10 - 12 hours through the night – with no wake ups.In this episode, you'll learn:Why it's so important to know your audienceWhy she decided to launch a courseWhen she decided to switch to an evergreen modelWhy you need to have your audience at the front of your mindThe impact her course has enabled her to make on her audienceThe foundation we are working on strengthening Jessica's conversion ratesTips for using ad data to make decisions Links & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

I recently shared a behind-the-scenes look at what happened at our Accelerator retreat. We all went around and shared what was working in our businesses right now and to tell you the truth, nothing was revolutionary.It was all of the fundamental business methods that we have heard time and time again. It goes to show that what's old really is new. When you stick to it, refine as you go, and do what feels good for you and aligns with the audience that you want to help, that's when things really click.In this episode of Art of Online Business, I'm sharing three small case study examples of “creative” funnels that a few of my Accelerator members are doing right now that are working really well. None of these methods are revolutionary or new. It's all about staying consistent and doing what aligns with you and how you want to serve your clients.In this episode, you'll learn:How one member uses weekly live webinarsHow another member uses monthly paid live workshopsHow a different member offers different membership offersHow a member filled their offer by knowing their audienceWhy these methods work so wellLinks & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

In this episode of Art of Online Business, I am digging into creating leverage in your business, and I am doing this in the context of what I believe is the most effective Facebook and Instagram strategy today. If you regularly listen to the show, you have probably heard me talk about the concept of “leverage” many times. It's one of my favorite words to use when it comes to growing and scaling your business without working more than 25 hours a week. What I'm sharing with you today is a huge leverage point, and it's something that is likely right in front of you: your email list.This topic is thrown around a lot. Everyone is talking about lead generation, and while some people may say that email marketing is dead, that is absolutely not true. You own your email list and that is a massive asset to your business. So when you're thinking about running Facebook or Instagram ads, you want to move your audience from the platform they're on over to your email list. This gives you a much greater leverage point for marketing and sales. Listen closely to this episode to learn how to do it.In this episode, you'll learn:Why leverage matters if you want to grow and scale your businessWhy your email list is so important The ways that your email list can help you growHow your email list helps you build a relationship with your audienceWhy running ads to grow your list will cut your ad budget and increase your sales during launchesLinks & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

Today I want to talk about a topic I'm seeing come up more and more in my coaching sessions.I've been in business now for eight years with my online business. For the first several years I made the huge mistake of not segmenting the conversations that I had in my business.When we segment, it's going to lead to stronger relationships with people that you serve or want to serve.When you segment, it's going to serve them for where they are at, based on interests or their level of expertise, or whatever it is that you do in your niche.It can increase open and click rates in your emails. It can increase sales. It can increase your repeat customer count. It can also bring in lost revenue from card abandonment.There's a whole bunch of benefits to segmenting. I think the biggest one is how it allows you to have the right conversation with the right person based on wherever they are at in their journey.We're going to cover all of this in today's quick tip episode.In this episode, you'll learn:Which main categories to segment your audience intoHow to structure your email surveys for segmenting your audienceShould you be using lead magnets?Different tools you can use to streamline your segmentationHow to use your YouTube channel or podcast to segment your audienceWhy you need to tidy up your email list on a regular basisLinks & Resources:CommunityRightMessage10XPRODM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clipsThe Art of Online Business websiteThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.
