As business owners, there will inevitably be a time when something unexpected comes up and we have to figure out a solution. The problem is that when we are coming up with solutions from a fear-based or scarcity-based mindset, our ideas aren't going to be very good. We have to take a step back and try to get some perspective on things.

Diversifying your marketing channels is always a good decision. In this episode of Art of Online Business, I'm sharing 14 fresh traffic ideas for when things hit the fan and you need registrations immediately. We have all been there at some point.

How do you know it's time to make a change in your business or your offers?In this episode of Art of Online Business, I wanted to open up and share about my own experience changing course and really optimizing my business over the last two years, specifically my offers.So many people are afraid to make changes to their business because they don't want to be locked into something that they don't enjoy, or because they don't want to rock the boat on something that's already working for them, even though it isn't in alignment with their goals. Sometimes you do need to make a change though. In this episode, I'm sharing how to know when it's time to change, how to pinpoint opportunities for your business, and improve your business using data and intuition. In this episode, you'll learn:Pivots I made within my Accelerator programMy pilot program How I tested and optimized my offerWhy you should check in with yourself about your offerTips for gathering and analyzing dataHow to start making changes in your businessLinks & 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.

Is your business aligned with your goals and vision for your life? The word alignment gets thrown around a lot and it has a lot of different meanings. I've been in business for a while now, and I really just got into alignment in the last four years. In this episode of Art of Online Business, I am sharing why I shut down a revenue stream that was bringing in $750K because it just wasn't in alignment with what I wanted for my business. If you feel like something isn't right in your business or it feels out of alignment but you can't figure out why, then it's important to take a step back and really think about why that could be. This is especially important if you are heading toward burnout. You may need to make a big scary decision about your business if you are feeling this way. It can be hard to shift out of something that is bringing in money but it will likely be one of the best decisions you make because it will free you up to do the things you enjoy.In this episode, you'll learn:How my business has expanded over the yearsThe three different audiences I served with my Facebook ad programsWhy my Facebook ad programs started to feel out of alignmentWhat to do if something doesn't feel right in your businessWhat will happen when you get into alignment with your businessLinks & 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've been a copywriter and a launch strategist for some epic online entrepreneurs, and you know what I've noticed?The most common issue that brings people unstuck in their marketing is not communicating WHAT or HOW they do something, it's actually understanding their WHY.The reason you do your thing is what makes you absolutely unique from everyone else out there.Understanding yourself, your motivation and your purpose is what allows you to have that clear, refined and UNWAVERING message that attracts perfect fit clients. Because when you're wobbly on why you do your thing, it's difficult to work out who you're really selling to, and sometimes even how you do it differently.And then it's almost impossible to feel really aligned with your message.That's where astrology comes in. I describe it like a personality test on steroids.In this episode, you'll find out:How astrology can help you go deeper on ALL the big business questionsHow I work with clients to uncover their ‘WHY' (and what to look for if you're doing this yourself)Examples of how this works ‘in action' in your businessLinks to check out once you've had a listen to this episode are here:Simon Sinek's TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action Create your own free birth chart and start uncovering more about yourself here: https://cafeastrology.com/free-natal-chart-report-whole-sign-houses.html Get my Cosmic Communication Guide: https://sophiapallas.com/cosmic-comms-style/ Follow me @sophiapallas on Instagram.PODCAST DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this podcast and the resources available for download or purchase are for educational and informational purposes only. ​ This information is not a substitute for advice from a professional who is aware of the facts and circumstances of your individual situation.

Do you ever feel like you are working too much in your business? As business owners, many of us find that we are working way more hours than we would like to because there's always work to be done when you're running a business. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can actually work less while making more in your business. In today's episode of Art of Online Business, I have a case study for you. I sat down with Laura Peters to talk about how she went from working 80 hours a week in her business to decreasing her workload to 50 hours a week and making more than ever. Laura is the creator behind Mike & Laura Travel and the CEO of Scale Your Travel Blog. After watching their travel blog grow rapidly in 2020, she decided to teach others how to grow their websites using SEO, affiliate marketing, and email marketing. To date, the Scale Your Travel Blog program has helped thousands of travel bloggers monetize their websites.It can be hard to give up that control in your business and let other people do things that you're used to doing, but in order to have some balance in your life and scale your business, you have to learn to simplify and delegate. By shifting your mindset and trusting the people on your team, you can begin to work less and make more, just like Laura did. In this episode, you'll learn:How Laura grew her travel blog through ads and affiliate marketingThe launch strategy Laura uses to sell her courseThe difference between Laura's evergreen vs live launch methodsLaura's average cost per leadWhy you don't need to reinvent the wheel for your businessHow Laura cut her hours spent working down by automating moreWhat it's like working with your spouseThe power of SEO in your businessLinks & 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.

So she decided to create her own, a blog and brand called Des Moines Girl.With a full-time corporate job, Morgan slowly built Des Moines Girl on the side, investing first in branding and then creating her website and social media presence on her own. She started by sharing topics she was interested in herself like all the happy hours in Des Moines, or best brunch spots or upcoming weekend activities and quickly gained a loyal audience.Morgan walks our listeners through how she creates a two way conversation with her followers and tips she has for others looking to build an engaged community primed to act.

In today's quick tip episode I want to dive into a topic that I've been hinting at a few times in recent shows.I want to spend a few minutes talking about what I mean when I say, “Simplicity is what scales.”I was recently auditing an Accelerator member's business. I discovered there was a ton of unnecessary complexity in their business.Complexity that's holding them back from scaling their business faster.I'm a huge fan of simplicity. Years ago, however, my business was anything but simple.It was super complex, with different offers for different audiences. The back end of the business was a spider web of different tools connected to each other in weird ways.Things got so much better when I simplified everything down to four key components in the business.We scaled the business. We created more revenue and more profit. I was working the least amount of hours that I ever had, and I was the happiest I'd ever been in the business.That's what I want for you and your business, and it starts with simplifying the business into four different systems, which I'm going to share with you today.In this episode, you'll learn:The four systems of a successful businessHow to scale your business using these four systemsWhere the easiest “wins” are in your businessLinks & Resources:10XPRODM 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.

For this episode Emily chats with Raven Rose, an Herbalist and Educator, although she personally identifies as a medicine woman. After experiencing years of excruciating pain that came with her own menstrual cycle, Raven began exploring the possibility that the root cause was much deeper within her. This search for healing led her down a discovery path to her ancestors and ultimately to opening Moon Medicine. Whenever there is a block in our external world, or something that we are trying to create, there is usually some connection to the physical body. That's one of the things Raven likes to teach people - how they can learn to navigate their personal human process vs. everything they may have read in books or observed in others.Listen in as we learn from Raven about the power of our cycles and how they are connected to our voice, how getting in touch with our bodies and listening to the messages they provide can help push us past feelings of being blocked (in life and business!), and how healing is fluid and different for everyone. Tune in for topics like:How Raven followed her own menstrual journey that lead her to open Moon MedicineThe power of ancestral connection and how it shows up in the bodyHerbalism, ethnobotany, womb massage, spiritual healing, and moreHow to tune into your body's messages and break through blocks in life and businessLinks from the episode: Moon Medicine website Moon Medicine InstagramMoon Medicine FacebookFree Training – Sign up + learn how to generate consistent sales for your local business WITHOUT a complicated or expensive marketing strategyFollow me (Emily Steele) (Love Local) on Instagram for a little business + a little life, and a whole lot of positive energy!
