How can a mini course help you attract coaching clients and build trust before they even book a session? In this episode, we explore the power of mini courses as a marketing tool for coaches. Many coaches struggle with attracting new clients because potential clients often hesitate, they don't know if coaching is right for them, if they'll get value from it, or if they even need it. That's where a mini course comes in. We break down how creating a short, valuable course can help potential clients experience your coaching style, get to know you, and start solving a problem; making them much more likely to invest in full coaching sessions. A mini course acts as a bridge; it reduces risk for the client, builds trust, and allows them to experience transformation before committing to full coaching. We also share how we use Kajabi to create and deliver mini courses effortlessly, making the entire process smooth and scalable. If you've been wondering how to attract more coaching clients without relying on social media every day, this episode is packed with insights, practical strategies, and step-by-step guidance to help you create a mini course that works for you. Creating a mini course is one of the best ways to attract new coaching clients while providing real value. It allows clients to experience your coaching style, solve a problem, and trust you; making it far more likely they'll invest in your paid coaching programmes. If you're ready to build your first mini course, check out our Kajabi partner page at www.igcompany.co.uk/kajabi to get started with the best all-in-one course creation platform.   Key Lessons Learned: Mini courses help clients experience your coaching style, Many people don't fully understand coaching, so giving them a low-risk way to try it increases trust. A mini course lowers barriers to entry; Some clients hesitate to book coaching because of cost, uncertainty, or lack of time. A mini course solves a small problem first, making coaching feel more accessible. People pay for speed and convenience; If you help someone get a quick win, they're more likely to invest in a full coaching programme. Your course should solve a specific problem; A successful mini course guides clients through a challenge, helping them feel a small transformation. Kajabi simplifies the process; Instead of using multiple platforms, Kajabi allows you to create, host, and sell your course in one place. A great mini course builds your reputation; Clients who see value in your free or low-cost course will share it with others, creating a natural word-of-mouth effect. Your mini course should connect to your paid services; Don't just teach, introduce your coaching offer at the end of the course so clients know their next step.   Step-by-Step Guide: How to Create a Mini Course: Define the Purpose of Your Mini Course What problem does it solve? How does it connect to your paid coaching? Decide on the Length & Format Keep it short and impactful (1–3 hours max). Consider video lessons, PDFs, workbooks, or a mix of formats. Create Engaging Content Use bite-sized lessons (e.g., three 20-minute videos). Include actionable steps or exercises for engagement. Make it shareable; something clients will recommend to others. Record & Edit Your Course Use Zoom, ScreenFlow, Camtasia, or Kajabi to record. Write a script or outline to stay focused. Keep branding consistent with your coaching business. Host & Deliver the Course Kajabi provides an all-in-one solution for hosting, sales, and automation. If using other platforms, consider Teachable, Thinkific, or Podia. Promote Your Mini Course Use social media, email marketing, and website pop-ups to attract sign-ups. Encourage word-of-mouth referrals from existing clients. Follow Up & Convert Clients Send follow-up emails to engage participants. Offer a special deal or invitation to a coaching session at the end.

In this episode I detail my production workflow for my new show, Fractal Bitcoin. I publish daily episodes both as video and audio-only. Fractal Bitcoin covers Bitcoin news and other Bitcoin topics.  Overview my current audio equipment setup:  RE20 microphone — https://products.electrovoice.com/na/en/re20/ sE Electronics DM1 Dynamite Active Inline Preamp — https://seelectronics.com/products/dm1/ Neve Portico II Channel Strip — https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/rupert-neve-designs-portico-ii-channel Sound Devices MixPre-6 Gen.1 — https://www.sounddevices.com/product/mixpre-6/ Overview my production workflow:  Gather posts and news stories from Nostr, X and a few other industry websites. (Takes me around 2 hours)  Order all the posts and stories for the shownotes.  Create a title for the episode.  Create a 16x9 thumbnail for the episode using ChatGPT which uses DALL-E 3 to generate images. — https://chatgpt.com/ Restart my computer.  Arrange all the browser tabs.  Open OBS Studio and do a short test recording. (My audio levels, video camera and lighting stay the same everyday)  I record my episode as if it's LIVE to a .mov file at 1920x1080, 60 frames per second, video bitrate at 16,000 kbps, and audio bitrate at 2304 kbps. (My average video is about 15 min. long, which ends up being around a 2Gb .mov file)  First I produce the video: Process the audio in iZotope RX:  Make it a mono file, usually Silence any lipsmacks and noises (can't delete anything because the audio has to line up with the video) Level it to -16.5 LUFS mono or -13.5 LUFS stereo (for video) Save it as a 32-bit .wav file Bring the raw video and processed audio into Screenflow. Usually I don't need to make any edits but sometimes I do. — https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm Render the video as a .mp4 file at 1920x1080, 60 frames per second, video bitrate at 16,000 kbps, and audio bitrate at 256 kbps and audio sample rate at 48kHz. (The resulting file size ends up being the same as the raw video recording — about 2Gb for a 15 min. long file)  Upload and publish the video to YouTube, Rumble, Bitchute, TikTok, and Flare.pub (a Nostr platform to which I upload a smaller 960x540 version) I promote my YouTube video on Nostr, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and a few other platforms.  I also post the Youtube link to my Locals community that I'm growing.  I also use Opus Clip to create 5 shorts from each of my daily videos. I post all 5 to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and LinkedIn. — https://www.opus.pro/ Then I produce the audio-only podcast: I edit the audio a bit:  Remove any isolated umms and flubs Reduce the length of any dead air, if there is any, in order to speed up the pacing slightly.  Level it to -18.5 LUFS mono or -15.5 LUFS stereo (for audio-only podcast)  Save it as a 32-bit .wav file as well as an .mp3 file (96 kbps mono or 192 kbps stereo).  Tag the .mp3 using ID3 Editor. — http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/ Upload .mp3 to Captivate along with shownotes and publish. — https://www.captivate.fm/ For my website I use Podpage which automatically brings in each podcast episode from Captivate as a blog post. I'm able to quickly optimize the post, add the YouTube video, and add images, etc. — https://www.podpage.com/ FRACTAL BITCOIN LINKS:  YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/@fractalbitcoin Rumble — https://rumble.com/c/c-5471042 Twitter — https://twitter.com/fractalBitcoin Nostr — https://nostr.com/npub1jz42cy8qxw6dres86sn0cr42hww24pnjqssa4k9wxqvzm5l0mvqsq2f5ku Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/fractalbitcoin/ A GREAT BITCOIN RESOURCE:  BOOK — The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous — https://saifedean.com/tbs OTHER NOTES: The start date for the next PES semester is JUNE 4, 2024!

Hey there, hero!Our NarrateYourOwnBook.com training course, designed for authors who want to be the voice of their own books, has a lesson in it that shows them how to "claim their title" from Kindle and start the process of producing the audiobook version of their book on ACX.You'd think you'd need some sort of permission to claim a title, but you'd be wrong.In this episode we discuss how easy it is for scammers to create ACX projects from any title that has yet to be claimed, leaving us in the position of being taken advantage of.As a narrator, you'll want to watch this, and then be extra vigilant when someone contacts you out of the blue on ACX to narrate their book. And if you're an author, you'll want to watch for your title being claimed without your permission.Could it be any easier? Thoughts on this?

Hey there, hero!I'm just starting the process of taking a course, and I'm looking for advice from you.Whether you formally teach others or not, we all make the move from showing others how to do something to learning how to do things ourselves.What do you do to be as open as possible to the great things headed your way? How do you combat the assumptions you've made about something you're learning? What do you do to quiet the distractions? What are your best practices as a learner?I'd like to maximize my level of success in this course I'm taking, and I'd love to hear your best practices.Let me know in the comments below.REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes, where the comments are moderated and civil.#Acting #Voice #VoiceOver #Performance #Productivity #Tips #Art #Commerce #Science #Mindset #Success #Process #Options #BestPractices #MarketingThe VOHeroes Podcast is heroically built with: BuddyBoss (site platform and theme) LearnDash (learning management) DreamHost (website hosting) Screenflow (video recording/editing/production) eCamm Live (Facebook/YouTube Live production tool) Amelia (workout and event scheduling) MemberMouse (membership management) SamCart (ecommerce and affiliate platform) Aweber (email list management) GamiPress (gamification platform) Stackable Premium Blocks (advanced Gutenberg blocks) TextExpander (customer support content management) BuzzSprout (podcast management platform) Backblaze (cloud backup)

Hey there, hero!This episode is a quick reminder that there are a lot of ways to go about doing things in our business.Some are pretty good.Some are uh-MAZE-ing.But some...um, no.

Hey there, hero!It's easy to get into a rut. You get used to doing something, you're not challenged any longer, and it starts feeling monotonous.Even if your goal was to create a reliable ritual. It just gets old. You get stuck.Then Ajarae Coleman jumped in with a new concept.You try to shake things up, and strike out for something more challenging. Something new.And it doesn't quite work out.The feelings you have when you try something, fail at it, and reflect on the process can range from the thought that you learned something to "meh" to disappointment to outright sadness to..."goal trauma."(Yeah, I didn't know what that meant either, until I used the google to find out what Ajarae was on about.)Please discuss, once you've watched the episode.

Hey there, hero!The number one answer to the question I ask when I'm trying to gauge a student's concerns about learning, "What are you most worried about?" is so interesting.And we don't really think about that one moment, that one concern, that everyone in the world has also experienced. It's a universal.And if you give this momentous occasion a thought or two, it can really change your perspective on being a beginner.Or a "never tried it.".Or, at some point, an experienced professional.Do remember the moment you switched from "I've never done this" to "I know how to do this!"?

Hey there, hero!Knowing your brand is essential, but once we determine the boundaries of our brand we might mistakenly misuse that knowledge.In this episode, I'm going to give you two examples around opportunities and your brand.Your brand can be your first filter, but then...I have a secret weapon for you. And it depends who is asking - if you're searching, or if someone is searching for you.You might be tempted to reject opportunities because "it's not my brand." My advice might run counter to that.Ever turn something  right off the bat because it wasn't your brand?

Hey there, hero!My grandfather was a funny, smart cookie. He wasn't a performer, rather my grandfather was a plumber.I'm not really shocked anymore at how many lessons I learned from him, even though he was a tradesman, about how to execute my occupation and run my business.One of the basic rules he lived by was to be damn sure he had a measure of a job before he executed the plumbing needed.He measured, then measured again, just to be sure. Then he cut his pipes. And they always seem to fit perfectly together.It wasn't hesitancy, it was being sure, and then double sure.Can you see how you might use this concept in creating your characters and doing your work? Would it be worth it to you take a moment and take a second measure?

Hey there, hero!We may not have control over what happens to us in life.Sometimes, it's our doing.Sometimes, life happens with no input from us.And although we might not be the cause of some event in our life, there is one thing that we can control: how we react to it.And I'm telling you, your choices on how to react are far more numerous than you think.And being mindful, imaginative and deliberate about my reaction is something I've been concentrating on with great results.I want to share that with you.Do you face knee jerk reactions, that are less useful to you than other choices?

Short-form video is all the rage! On this episode we talk with a Meta Ads expert who is using short videos to teach.  The enemy of done is perfection and that is one of our biggest takeaways from our chat with John Loomer -- just start.  Learn about... - The importance of getting started and not overthinking: John emphasizes the key to creating effective short-form video content is to simply get started without worrying too much about perfection. The goal is to learn and improve with each video, so it's essential to not overthink the process and just start creating. - Consistency and long-term trust are crucial: Consistency is super important with short-form video content. Focus on your brand's messaging and create content your ideal audience will find interesting. Building long-term trust with your audience should be more important than chasing short-term gains. - Find the right tools and workflow for you: John uses the editing software ScreenFlow for creating short-form videos. But, every marketer has their own preferred tools, so it's important to use what you're comfortable with to help you achieve your goals. Finding a workflow that works for you and your brand is key. Our guest... Jon Loomer is a Meta ads educator who started jonloomer.com in 2011 and his private community PowerHittersClub.com in 2014. Jon focuses on the most advanced Meta advertising topics, helping his community look good and reach their goals along the way. Jon is an accidental marketer who started his business with hopes of creating the freedom he wanted to spend as much time with his wife and three sons as he could, dedicating countless hours as a baseball coach (now retired!). He's now taking short-form video and AI head-on as we head into this next crazy phase of marketing. ~._.*._.~ Take our LISTENER Community Survey!!! HERE Making a Marketer is here to give our guests a platform and to provide oodles of value to YOU, our listener!

Hey there, hero!This one is worth listening to without the distraction of video. Wear headphones or earbuds, seat them properly and listen.And, I'm gonna warn you. I tear up a bit in this podcast episode.Because of the power of human breathing.How breaths are used run the gamut from comedic to tragic to frantic to romantic.And I'm on a mission to give you a permanent permission slip around your breaths, as a part of your work that needs to remain, and not be deleted.De-breathing plugins.

Hey there, hero!It's a pretty simple question, but we might fly right by it because we see it as a huge issue.We face things all the time that have the potential of being an issue......but it might be worth taking a moment and determining whether it's actually real or not.When you're worried about something...take a moment and survey whether you're worried about nothing.

Hey there, hero!We hear the phrase "game changer" all the time. And we take for granted that it's a major shift that leads to a victory.Is that always what it means?

Hey there, hero!The rest of that quote (from Helen Keller) is really important to know.Life in general, and our chosen path in life (being an artist) specifically, has some twists and turns in store for us.Some unexpected stops, some uphill climbs and some out of control skids.Some bends in the road.Unless...you are watching, vigilant and prepared.I wonder how you handle the unpredictable. Especially when the unpredictable is as weird as it can be as a voice talent, an actor or a writer.I'm going to show you how simple acknowledgement of the challenge can go Do you find yourself at a loss when the road sign is squiggly?

Hey there, hero!Taking care of ourselves is paramount - as actors, voice talent, writers and other creatives, we don't have an office infirmary and an in-person support community when we are in need of self-care.And one area where your personal mental and physical health can be threatened is when you choose to disagree with someone's point of view...especially in online communication.The anonymity of social media emboldens some to take very big liberties with the basics of good manners - we can be attacked from many angles without the ability to defend ourselves (or sometimes even know who is doing the attacking).But rest assured that when you make a commitment to a tool or process, something that you know works for you, know that you can feel so much better by choosing to ignore the attacks altogether.Don't respond at all if it's going to cause you grief. Just...move on.I'll give you some basic self-care choices you can make to move on and feel sooooo much better.Does this make sense? Do you enjoy the power of deciding not to engage?

Hey there, hero!I feel like I'm a weird artist. When I'm designing a performance, I work toward something that I can rely on, in a character, in business, in life, and then, if I can, lathering, rinsing and repeating.And I feel like I'm in the minority - I see most other artists achieving great performances, and then instead of repeating those performances, immediately trying to change it up.Make it different.Find a new way.Make a new choice.And I think that's fun, but that there are advantages to re-using things that you find work for you, and not immediately insisting on changing it up the next time around.What about relying on the solution that's elegant, and works? Without instantly jumping to making it different next time around?

Hey there, hero!When trying to understand a problem or challenge, while getting to the root of the problem and then on to the solution, we often ask "Why is this happening?"Great question. It's worth getting an answer, and one way to do that is to use a process that some call "about five WHYs" - asking "why?" over and over.Begin with the general question and describe what's happening, and then ask the question again and again, five or so times, looking for more details, drilling deeper to get more specific.And hopefully, your drilling will get to the root cause, and eventually, the solution.Ever use this process? Is it new to you? Getting details a challenge?

Hey there, hero!We continue with the second of two episodes hearing from NAVA's Carin Gilfry, and in this installment, she gets a bit more personal about her own decisions when it comes to AI, and in particular why she decided to take the plunge......and arrange to have her voice modeled for future AI and synthetic use.You might be surprised that a talent would not only consider doing this, but following through on a smart, legal and ethical basis, with an eye toward future income from her modeled voice. Carin also discusses the ways that an AI version of her (and your) voice might even be preferable to the real (time) thing.Got questions about keeping your voice safe from being ripped off?

Hey there, hero!One of my fave people in VO is NAVA's Carin Gilfry, and in this first of a two part series, she shares with us how NAVA (the National Association of Voice Actors at navavoices.org) is working on behalf of all voice actors and lots of different areas: DEI, representation, insurance and more.Including...AI and synthetic voices.If you want to know what the NAVA group is up to and how they have your back as a performer, take 9 minutes and let this flow over you.Got questions about NAVA?

Hey there, hero!Do you find the random irregularity and odd, weird opportunities that are the bulk of our business...annoying?Does the lack of a regular, traditional 40-hour work week make you...irritated?I want to help you be at peace with this - and help you with a bit of advice on how to help set up your performer life so that you're prepared for these opportunities.Because the opportunities in our business are, most of the time, effing amazing.Show business is not organized for your success. It's not an office or cube farm job. It's certainly not predictable, nor does it follow any observable pattern.Being prepared for random irregularity just might be your super power - if you know how to take advantage of your downtime.How do you react to the absolutely weird timing we are presented with when it comes to our opportunities?

Hey there, hero!Clara Tristan is an excellent host and a wise woman.She casually dropped that phrase...when you create something, you automatically serve others...with me when I appeared on her podcast.And it so resonated with me, and hopefully for you - specifically because of the type of business we're in.I mean, you can doubt your level of experience and accomplishment, and look at your income and think it doesn't come up to snuff...but look what you're doing for others.It's best to remember that what we do has multiple effects in the world, both for us and for our audience.How did that statement land for you?

Hey there, hero!As a performer, you've made the choice to be in a very weird, counterintuitive, awesome, creative world. And it has its own quirky way of presenting us opportunities.There's a phrase we dive into in this episode to help us recognize those quiet moments of opportunities: "Listen carefully, because opportunity sometimes knocks softly."When I heard that phrase, I had to stop and think about it for a moment.And it happened at a restaurant I go to. I'll share the story about what happened in this episode.What experience do you have with listening for acting and VO opportunities? How developed is that sense for you? What can you do to hone that?

Hey there, hero!There are lots of strategies and tactics to help us to get better at what we do, but there is one thing we will sometimes do that likely won't help at all.And that's guessing.Or listening to someone online who likely is guessing as well.In this episode, I show you why this probably won't work, give you some better options to stay on course, and some things to avoid when looking for answers.How has guessing, educated or not, worked out for you?

Hey there, hero!I know there are times when I've told you that it's an advantage to be brief. To be essential. Focused and tight in your communication.One big exception: asking for help or support.Don't worry about giving too many details. When you need help, and you're frustrated, tale a moment to give as much information to the person helping you as you can - you will do so much better, and be up and running so much faster.Are you someone who just blasts "this thing sucks!"? Or can you take a breath, and give the details that will help them help you?

Hey there, hero!I'm feeling sheepish.I feel like sometimes I might be failing at reminding you that you're an artist.My priority lately has been you ways to maximize your focus, do your busy work easier and faster, manage your productivity and so on. And with the number of auditions you could be getting, I've given you ways to make that process easier and more reliable.But what I don't want to do is forget the art.I don't want you to be so mechanical and workaday that you forget the fun, the joy and the privilege we have to ba artists.Is what you have created for yourself as an actor and voice talent still art? Or has it become a tiresome "job"?

Hey there, hero!If you haven't seen the announcement from Amazon that they are going to give Kindle authors the option to have the audiobook versions of their titles read by synthetic voices, well...it's happened:https://www.kdpcommunity.com/s/article/Invite-Only-KDP-Beta-for-AudiobooksAnd there's really nothing we can do to stop it. But......there are some very big positives that you and I, as voice talent, need to remember about art and writers and voice artists and money and more.I also want to know what you have to say, once you've watched this episode and read the short announcement at the link above, in the comments below.REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes, where the comments are moderated and civil.#Acting #Voice #VoiceOver #Performance #Productivity #Tips #Art #Commerce #Science #Mindset #Success #Process #Options #BestPractices #MarketingThe VOHeroes Podcast is heroically built with: BuddyBoss (site platform and theme) LearnDash (learning management) DreamHost (website hosting) Screenflow (video recording/editing/production) eCamm Live (Facebook/YouTube Live production tool) Amelia (workout and event scheduling) MemberMouse (membership management) SamCart (ecommerce and affiliate platform) Aweber (email list management) GamiPress (gamification platform) Stackable Premium Blocks (advanced Gutenberg blocks) TextExpander (customer support content management) BuzzSprout (podcast management platform) Backblaze (cloud backup)

Hey there, hero!You get a lot of choices in life, and some you very much want to take advantage of.Others, not so much. Some are a hard "no."Especially if you don't feel qualified or up to the task.As a coach, there can be a tendency to not want to be perceived as anything less than a superman. That you're capable of anything and helping anyone.And I can tell you that this can apply to you as an actor or voice talent. We are encouraged to be as inclusive in our roles and auditions as we can.I can also tell you that the more you qualify yourself (without being overly self-judgy) the better you'll do at the things you end up saying yes to.But when you say no to something, how does that make you feel? ?

Hey there, hero!Remember when you couldn't wait to open your inbox...juuuust in case you had gotten an audition or seven while you were away from your email?Remember that feeling of anticipation? Or curiosity? Or joy?You likely had anything but a feeling of dread, right?How do you feel now? Have things changed for you? Do you dread having to do an audition?And most importantly, doing and audition "right?"I want to help you regain the joy of that moment of getting an audition.One way to do that is to quash the urge to look at auditions as something you get right and succeed, or you get wrong and you horribly fail.I actually want you to be a bit selfish. Watch the podcast (or listen to it) to hear what I mean by that.What's the initial emotion you feel when you seen an audition headed your way? Why do you feel that way? Do you feel like you're about to be tested?

Hey there, hero!If you're like me and you're engaged in the pursuit of a successful, satisfying and profitable VO and acting career, you work really hard to get better.Better at everything. Skills. Strategies. Planning. Execution. Results.So things are a bit easier in the long run......so you can experience joy and happiness.Let's remember to take a moment to enjoy those achievements, and actually experience and savor the happiness we create. If not, why are we working so hard?We can forget in the hard work it takes to get better, that the fruits of those labors are worth pausing the pursuits of those labors and grab a joyous whiff of satisfaction and happiness.You deserve it. And doing so teaches you that there is lovely reward in hard work, not just hard work.Do you give yourself the moments of happiness and joy you deserve? Might you do a bit more of that in the future?

Hey there, hero!The fact is, you're going to make mistakes. And you're going to be disappointed, feel less than and that wish that you could get a do-over.But don't let that be your norm. That's certainly one way to look at it, but there may be another to consider.If you know you're not going to be perfect, if you know that there are times when you don't have enough information to succeed or that you simply missed the mark, you can choose how you respond to it.Here's what the pros do: they simply move on.Do you beat yourself up when you make a mistake? Or can you take a moment, acknowledge it and immediately move on?

Hey there, hero!Solving problems for yourself or others likely require asking questions.In some cases, those questions are straightforward, and the answers you get will get the job done.But many times, the question being asked isn't quite getting to the heart of the matter.There's more information required, or context needs to be added, or the solution is found from an entirely different method of discovery. A different question, or questions, need to be asked.And how you ask that "different" question requires a bit of finesse - even if you're asking it of yourself. You don't want to insult the other person by not answering the question they DID ask.How do you handle this situation without making the other person feel less than, or foolish? I always am looking for guidance.

Hey there, hero!The strike against the TV/Theatrical/Streaming contracts and the members of the AMPTP continues, now months in for both writers and actors.Writers are really hamstrung in terms of what they can work on, but our strike is slightly different as there are many areas of work, covered by many different contracts......many of which are voice over based, rather than on-camera.(And what can you so with the time you might have spent doing on-camera auditions.)Let's find out which ones you can get paid to do, and which ones you can't.UPDATE: SAG-AFTRA has asked for a strike authorization against the producers of interactive projects (most obvious is video games). We will update once we get more information.Once you watch or listen to the episode, is there an area of union acting work that you're not clear about in terms of accepting work? Are you a non-union actor that is confused about what work you can do?
