Honestly, I can't believe I made it this far; it's mind-blowing. I know that's cliche, but it's how I feel when I see that episode number. Let's just say it has been a wild ride, a ride that is not yet over, and I'm glad I stuck with podcasting through those difficult times. And I've dabbled with a few great interviews and had my first-ever guests. It's been both challenging and fun all at once.In the spirit of celebrating the 100th episode milestone, I'm going answer the top questions asked by my Blog Readers, YouTube Subscribers, and Podcast Listeners, and questions asked through my Ask A Question form on my website.The QuestionsHow do I turn a page of notes (637 words) into a story?Should you self-publish an ebook, paperback and audiobook all on the same launch date or separately?Do I need separate ISBNs for a paperback novel published through KDP Print and Ingram Spark?Is it ok to post an unpublished novel on your blog?I've heard that blogging is dead. Is this true, and is it worth doing as a fiction author?Is it better to wait until you have more than one book in a series beforeWhen discovery writing, how do you ensure that all the scenes and chapters you write move the story forward and not end up being wasted words that are deleted during revisions?How do I know when it's time to finish revising and start working with an editor?Can you recommend an editor to me?Do I need developmental editing? It's very expensive, and I'm not sure if I can afford to spend that much money.How long did it take for you to get consistent book sales when publishing-wide?Course, Podcasts, Books, and Tools MentionedCheck Out the Show Notes ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/100th-episode/TAP033, The Case for Outlining, Outlining Pitfalls, and Overcoming Writing Obstacles ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/tap033/TAP034, From Idea to Outline: How to Outline a Novel (Part 1 of 3) ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/tap034/TAP035, From Idea to Outline: How to Outline a Novel, (Part 2 of 3) ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/tap035/TAP036, From Idea to Outline: How to Outline a Novel (Part 3 of 3) ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/tap036/TAP037, How I Edit the Outline of a Novel Before Writing the First Draft ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/tap037/TAP043, A Tale of Two Novels: My Experience Writing into the Dark ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/tap043/Course on Writing into the Dark by Dean Wesley Smith (WMG Publishing) ⇢ https://wmg-publishing-workshops-and-lectures.teachable.com/p/writing-into-the-darkBook on Writing into the Dark by Dean Wesley Smith ⇢ https://amzn.to/3LUjkNV *Blogging as an Unpublished Fiction Author ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/blogging-unpublished-fiction-author/ProBlogger ⇢ https://problogger.com/Products I RecommendScrivener ⇢ https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener-affiliate.html?fpr=authorpreneurpod *Grammarly Premium ⇢ https://www.grammarly.com/Pro Writing Aid ⇢ https://prowritingaid.com/?afid=22911*AutoCrit ⇢ https://www.autocrit.com/Marlow/Authors.ai ⇢ https://authors.ai/marlowe/?awref=rt2q4bq7zq*Fiverr ⇢ https://www.fiverr.com/Host Your Author Website with SiteGround ⇢ https://www.siteground.com/go/authorpreneur*Other Useful LinksLooking for an affordable premade book cover? | https://levillainbookcovers.com/shop/ **Be on the Podcast | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/podcast/interview/Support the show by buying me a coffee ⇢ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/authoradhayWant the podcast straight to your inbox? ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/podcast/tap/Got a burning question that you would love me to answer on the podcast ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/question/Answers to Questions on Writing from Previous Shows ⇢ https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/question/faq/My Books **My Short Story, the Lawn | https://dl.bookfunnel.com/wi5nh80cx4The Candidate | https://books2read.com/the-candidateSuspicion | https://books2read.com/suspicionDuplicity | https://books2read.com/duplicity-adhay/The Locked Room | https://books2read.com/locked-roomRead Entitled to Murder on my blog | https://ameliadhay.com/entitled-to-murder-001/Read Entitled to Murder on Wattpad | https://www.wattpad.com/story/245779659-entitled-to-murder-a-murder-mystery-book-clubConnect with me on Social MediaTwitter: https://twitter.com/writeradhayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/authorpreneurpodcastFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/indieauthorpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorpreneurpodcast/YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/authorpreneurpodcast/videosGoodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/authoradhay/RedBubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/WriterADHay/shop ***** This is a service or product offered by me*** My bookish merchandise store

Email is a powerful medium. At minimum, it serves a company's need for transacting with vendors & customers, etc. But some companies go much further, putting it at the centre of their business. The author of today's book, has done this in three distinct businesses. How did he get there? Just listen to his story. In his primary school years, Matt Paulson played games like SimCity on his family's PC. Keen to share what he learned with other fans, he made a website and watched as visitors started coming by the hundreds. Learning that you could make money by putting banner ads on your site, he signed his little website up and small cheques started rolling in. But for the time being, it just served him as a way to make pocket money. Like many University students, he found himself in the middle of his studies, needing money to cover tuition costs. The college newspaper had part-time job openings for writers. Between that and taking freelance gigs on ProBlogger, mainly about personal finance, he managed to get by. Matt then fused his writing skills with selling banner ads like he'd done before. He launched a finance blog that generated about the same income as you'd make on a computer science graduate's salary. He made many websites along this theme, and because they were highly dependent on Google's algorithm for traffic, they rode some high highs and low lows. In the aftermath of one rankings smackdown, he resolved to never give a tech platform the power to damage his business like this. The solution was to manage their own content distribution. That meant showing their brand on a variety of finance portals, but also networking directly with their audience, getting them used to seeing the site's brand in places like their email inbox. So they launched an email newsletter. That newsletter, called MarketBeat, now has three million email subscribers. Financial product companies pay top dollar to advertise in the newsletter, to get a piece of the one million monthly outbound clicks it receives. Along with premium subscription products, this business now employees thirteen people and grosses more than $25 million in top-line annual revenue. You now know the story of a young guy who founded an email empire. And while he's proud of it, he's equally passionate about living in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with his wife and 3 young kids.

Join us as he shares his compelling story of why it's so important to him, his passion for sharing it with others, and the surprising benefit of systemizing your own business. David's entrepreneurial journey begins back in his early 20's when he sold Australia's most-loved sporting ground, the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Since then, his business experience spans from franchising retail clothing stores to founding one of Australia's most trusted digital agencies, melbourneSEOservices.com. In 2016, he successfully systemized himself out of the business, hired a CEO, and stepped back from the daily operations. Through this process, he became a systems devotee – founding systemHUB & SYSTEMology. Today, his mission is to free all business owners worldwide from the daily operations of running their business. Recognized as a high-achieving entrepreneur, you will find many of David's keynote presentations on YouTube including TEDx, WordCamp and Problogger. Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group. Show Highlights: David shares how, when he found out his wife was pregnant, he was working 70 hours a week, which made him consider what kind of dad he wanted to be for his kids. He intuitively knew that systemizing the process was going to be his way out. He had a background in stock market trading and this had initially taught him about systems and plans. Getting stuck because he built the business around himself, locking him deeper and deeper in the business. Dr. Sabrina recognizes a key limiting belief in the story that David is relating: “This business needs me. My business is different. David gives us the worries that he had as he was considering how to systemize his business, and how he finally realized he didn't have to hold that bag. Dr. Sabrina's test that she relies on: “It's just the way it is.” If she starts thinking this, it is her red flag to stop and say, “Oh, no, sister, it doesn't have to be this. There could be another possibility.” David describes the process of getting his team involved of systemizing, in the midst of their busy-ness. He discovered that it's easier to have two people working on the systemization: one who has the knowledge, and one who does the documentation. If you can figure out what the problem is, then you can consult an expert who has that part of the process already figured out. Utilize GoPros and video cameras, talk it out, let somebody capture it, then the process can be put into place using these tools. Over-complicating things in small business is the biggest gap that David has recognized. A minimum, viable system is the place to start, and then test it out, and see what needs to be added. Other business opportunities open up for you once you systemize your business. Valuing opportunities for the experience over the money. Freeing people from the operations is David's dream. The deeper story behind David's “why”. “The Sheet” - a weekly allowance scorecard from childhood that taught David some important life lessons. Growing as a person, when your business begins to grow. Bad habits that need to be broken. David describes the benefits of systemHUB. Complexity is the enemy of systems and systemizations. Simplify as much as possible. Features actually take away from the outcome. Figure out and use the key systems that need to be in place for your business to function. Nail “simple” first! Want to learn more?

How can we turn our small idea into a successful business with a reliable income? In today's episode, we're going to discuss how to build a digital business from scratch through an online community. Kate Toon is an award-winning businesswoman and SEO strategist who has helped more than 10,000 businesses demystify digital marketing, grapple with the Google beast, and grow their success. She was named the Business Woman of the Year at the National My Business Awards, and she is also the author of Confessions of a Misfit Entrepreneur and the host of the Kate Toon Podcast and the Hot Copy Podcast. While Kate's digital business is very successful now, she had to start from scratch and build her way to success. In her journey, one of the first things she did was build an online community. Build a Community One of the first steps we should take when starting a digital business is to build a community. “My whole business has been built on creating what some people would call a tribe. I like to think of it as a Viking Horde—a big horde of people . . . who are there for you and who support you through your business journey. They'll be the first to listen to your podcast and the first to buy your products,” Kate said. “Community is really the foundation of everything I do.” Before we start a podcast, create an online course, or launch a SaaS product, we should begin to build a following and community. That way, when we release a new product or service, we will already have a group of people who are willing to use it. We can begin by selecting a social platform to post frequent content on. From there, we can slowly build our brand and community on our own platform, such as our own email newsletter, before we offer any products or services. Kate began her career in advertising and eventually moved to digital marketing. When she got pregnant, she realized her current job wouldn't be a good fit for her new lifestyle, so she gave up her job and started her own business in SEO. Near the beginning of her entrepreneurial journey, she spoke at an event in Australia: ProBlogger. They had 10-minute slots for audience members to get up and speak, so Kate gathered her courage, got up on stage, and spoke about SEO to about 600 people. When she got back home, she went online to a Facebook group for the ProBlogger community. She left a message saying that if anyone wanted to learn more about SEO, they could come and join the personal group she had created. That short, 10-minute speech became one of her greatest home runs because it gave her an opportunity to build her community. Her group now has 10,000 people in it. “From that group, I started building all the courses and resources that I now have and the podcasts and everything. It came from that one little speaking opportunity that I was brave enough to do,” Kate said. Once we have a following, we can launch all of our products and services into that group, and then we will have an instant audience which can lead to instant sales. Build Engagement As we build our communities, we need to remember to constantly engage with our audience. Kate said her best monetization secret is to not waste any money on paid ads. She doesn't spend any money on Facebook or Google ads. Instead, every marketing campaign she launches is through content marketing and organic SEO. “It's really about that top of funnel awareness, so having the podcasts and being very present on all social media,” Kate explained. “Be present and really work on engagement. . . . No comment gets left behind, that's actually part of my company mantra.” Instead of spending money on ads our customers likely won't trust, we can engage with them directly in our communities. We should take the time to engage with everyone that comments on our posts. As we build those customer relationships, we help direct them through our marketing funnel and lead them to a purchase decision without ever having to launch paid advertisements. As we respond to our customers, they will be much more likely to comment again. One of the most important parts of building a business is building relationships. If we aren't engaging with the community we have created, we aren't getting to know our customers. And if we don't have good relationships with our customers, we aren't going to have a successful business. In Kate's business, she personally responds to each comment her followers or group members make. She doesn't have social media managers reply to comments for her because she wants her customers to feel like they have a personal relationship with her and her brand. She wants them to feel valued and cared for. “We all want to feel seen and heard and listened to. We want to feel valued and if you can give your customers that feeling, genuinely, then I think that's a beautiful thing and way better than spending money on Facebook ads,” Kate said. Be Unique In our businesses, we need to focus on being unique and personal. We should strive to develop our own personal brand and create our own voice and personality. It can be hard to avoid comparing ourselves to our competition as we build our own digital business from scratch. Yet, we should remember what Theodore Roosevelt said: “Comparison is the thief of joy.” If we constantly compare ourselves to competitors who are more successful than us, we're going to feel like a failure. We shouldn't compare our beginnings to someone else's years of progress, and we shouldn't obsess over trying to be exactly like them. The biggest failure Kate made in her journey was obsessing over her competition and comparing herself to them too much. When she did this, she felt inferior to them and it brought her a lot of self-doubts. “You really have to rely on your own skills. Not everybody's going to like you and that's okay. There's always going to be competition, and everyone is always going to have choices, and you just have to focus on why they're going to choose you, not worry about why they're choosing other people,” Kate said. Instead of focusing on our competition, we should focus on ourselves. We need to determine how we can offer a unique value to our audience that other competitors won't have. Instead of trying to be like everyone else, we should focus on being ourselves. We should be personal and unique. Be Authentic In our communities, we need to remember to be authentic. One of the biggest tectonic shifts Kate sees happening today is the increasing popularity of audio. “We are really craving community and connection in a way that we never have and that's partial because [of] this collective trauma we've all been through in 2020,” Kate said. “I think the future [is] trying to make smaller communities. I think we need that right now in the world.” She continued to explain that audio, such as podcasts or Clubhouse, is a great way to build community. Clubhouse is an audio-only communication platform. A host can open up a room and invite others to participate and have an audio-only discussion. In order to take full advantage of the opportunity Clubhouse provides, we need to take control. “You can't be a passenger, you have to drive your journey on Clubhouse so you can't sit in other people's room hoping they're going to bring you on stage and you might get two seconds talking to Grant Cardone. You need to be your own Grant Cardone,” Kate explained. “You need to set up your own rooms, bring across your personality, your knowledge, and speak to your people. Don't try to find lighthouses, be a lighthouse and have people come to you.” In audio platforms, it's hard to hide. The real you will come out and hopefully, that will be a good thing. Personality and authenticity help us connect with others as we relate to them. People are tired of having to look and be a certain way. When we listen to a podcast or engage in a discussion on Clubhouse, we don't have to care about looks, we only get to focus on ideas and conversation. It gives us a chance to talk and listen to real, authentic people, without being distracted by the worldly visual status cues we look for. “I have image fatigue—the Instagram perfection fatigue of just having to look a certain way, be a certain way, and being judged on your sex or your color. I think Clubhouse is the great leveler,” Kate said. “I can't see you. I have to take you not on face value, but on voice value. . . . I think it's a more intimate relationship and it feels more honest than some of the other channels like YouTube and Instagram. It feels less produced and more raw and more honest.” By removing the visual aspect of our content, we may be a little less pretentious and more authentic. We don't want to create a performance whenever we interact with our audience and community. We want to be real and authentic. When we are, our audience will really start to connect with us. As we build our communities, we want to remember to engage with them, provide unique value, and stay authentic. As we do this, our small startup will start to gain traction on the path to success. Key Takeaways Thank you so much Kate for sharing your stories and insights with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode: One of the first steps we should take when starting a digital business is to build a community. Once we have a following, we can launch our products and services into that instant audience, which can lead to instant sales. Instead of spending money on ads our customers likely won't trust, we can reach them through SEO and content marketing and then engage with them directly in our communities. In our businesses, we need to focus on being unique and personal. We should strive to develop our own personal brand and personality instead of trying to be like our competitors. We want to be real and authentic. When we are, our audience is much more likely to connect with us.

If a successful podcast host told you that he wanted no ads on his program, would you believe him? Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, explores why you should start a podcast; build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more. If you're thinking about starting a podcast, or simply finding a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you At We Are Podcast 2016, we held a panel with four successful podcast hosts, who gave us the skinny on how sponsorships work and how to make them profitable. The thirty-minute talk covered everything from mistakes that people make when monitising their show to how you can build a reputation that will earn you money. The results were informative, amusing and enlightening, and you'd be surprised how difficult it can be to find advertisers that are worth their weight. The featured panel guests include: Omar Zenhom, Co Founder & CEO at WebinarNinja Aaron Fifield, Podcast Host of Chats with Traders Jordan Harbinger, Host of The Jordan Harbinger Show Darren Rouse, Founder of b5media, ProBlogger.net and digital-photography-school.com During the panel, they talked about: Why you shouldn't focus on sponsorships at the start How certain sponsors can add legitimacy to your show The risk of working with small sponsors Why you should have a product or service that you sell during your show How to recruit long-term, loyal listeners The potential for lucrative relationships with advertisers Why traffic is what you should really be focusing on Links: We Are Podcast - website We Are Podcast - Facebook Group
What does it mean to have creative freedom in your life? And what's more, how do you get it? Our guest shows us how he and his family followed a surprising path to creative freedom, and how he is helping others do the same. His name is Jared Latigo, and he is a personal development consultant who works with individuals, families, and companies in corporate settings. Jared's writing has reached millions of readers through various online publications such as Addicted2Success, ThriveGlobal, MichaelHyatt.com, 48Days, ProBlogger, and Lifehack. He has also been able to work with companies like Stetson, Mountain Dew, Pier 1 Imports, and more. Jared shares the journey he and his family took to becoming debt-free, and how it has allowed him to pursue a whole new path in life. You'll learn why it's important to have freedom in your life, all about the connection between creativity and being debt-free, how managing your money well sets you up for success as an entrepreneur, and so much more. Highlights & Key Takeaways 1. Financial wellness is a stewardship issue. It is easy to view our money as its own little “box” in our lives, but it's intimately connected to every other area, including our creative work. Ultimately, it's a matter of being a good steward or manager of what God has entrusted to us. 2. Getting out of debt can have a major impact on your ability to be creative and serve others. I asked Jared to come on the show because I wanted to explore the connection between debt and creativity, and he delivered! Jared laid out in clear detail how becoming debt-free has helped reduce stress and expand his family's ability to explore new directions. It has also given him the freedom to try things that might now work. 3. The importance of having freedom in your life. We don't often realize how much we are “shackled” to things that weigh us down and hold us back from achieving our dreams. It might be debt, a job you hate, or even a bad relationship. When you are free, you are able to do the things you want and start fulfilling the dreams God has for your life. 4. Getting control of your finances helps you be a better entrepreneur. Something we think, “If only I had a better job or more opportunities, then I could achieve my dreams.” But the reality is that our dreams begin right here, right now with what we have in the moment. Becoming a better manager of our resources, and being a better employee, will help us develop the skills to apply to our entrepreneurial efforts later on. 5. Develop an entrepreneurial mindset in your job. I love how Jared emphasized how we can think like an entrepreneur even while employed by someone else. If fact, that's how we should think. We should be constantly finding ways to add value to our employer and make our organization more profitable and successful. It's not only more fun to think this way, it's also a great way to prove your value to leaders above you. 6. You can quickly generate income. Jared mentioned several ways to generate income quickly: selling things you already have, getting a 2nd job, or taking on extra hours at work. Can you do any of these things to generate some income in the next month?

Advice on helping individuals live a life of freedom through blogging.
This week we're stepping back in time to revisit one of our all time favourite pods - and by the look of the stats one of your faves too. It's all very good and well to understand how to use modal verbs and where to place your colons, but seriously the hard fact is that no copywriting business will survey with our CLIENTS!! Sadly too many copywriting businesses fail in their first year because they simply can't find enough clients. Friends and family are a great place to start, but where on earth do you track down awesome potential clients with money to spend? So we thought it was a good idea to circle back around and revisit this pod and remind of our tips on how to grab more clients. Tune in to learn: Our key ways to find clients Whether freelancing websites are worth the effort Our number one new client tip Share the pod love!

And some people now are calling them masterminds which I think is a cool girl boss term because a tribe doesn't necessarily have to be everybody in your exact niche." Taylor Bradford "What it feel like to be part of a tribe, just the camaraderie of having people that kind of know what you're doing and kind of understand it." Taylor Bradford "I can't stress enough how important finding a blog tribe is." Taylor Bradford "Seasons change. Friendships change. Tribes change." Taylor Bradford "The biggest, number one thing you need to look for in a tribe is people you can trust." Taylor Bradford "You want to be able to freely share about the things that are going on in your head, like your ideas, in a space where you will not feel like someone might scrape that idea, or steal that idea." Taylor Bradford "Cultivating your tribe is more than just blogging and commenting on their blogs." Taylor Bradford "Always give back, always offer support, and always provide value." Taylor Bradford JENNIFER SAID "Finding people who were of the same mind and interested in the same things, which was blogging, was so key for me not going crazy." Jennifer Salter "Your tribe will change, guaranteed, it will change overtime, but that's a good thing because you're growing, which means your tribe needs to grow." Jennifer Salter "You want to look for people too that are learning things, you don't want to talk about the same old things." Jennifer Salter "Try to find a least two or three people who are experts in something that you suck at." Jennifer Salter "Your tribe is not about getting ahead, your tribe is about supporting each other and sharing knowledge." Jennifer Salter "Don't be afraid to put yourself out there because, if you're doing it through your computer, there is a little bit of a buffer so you don't have to be afraid of rejection because you know it might happen but, just feel comfortable."
