In This Episode: [00:43] How do you handle those people who aren't paying in a timely fashion or skipping payments? [01:08] When this happens you're going to have to do and say some things that might be uncomfortable. [02:06] "Selective amnesia" is when you have to do or say things that are outside of your normal behavior. Once this is done, you act as if everything is fine. Use "selective amnesia" to your advantage. [03:41] There will be times when you have to determine whether this is a relationship you would like to keep or not. It's okay to "bless and release" when needed. [04:21] Language you can use includes: "I'm reaching out today is to ask, what do you need in order to take care of the payment that is now due today?" [05:10] "In order for our relationship to stay in good standing, it's important that we both keep to our agreements." It's important to always keep a balance of power. [06:00] You can also let them know if they're unable to pay today to contact you to find out what's needed to make the payment happen. [08:31] There are also times when you're just not going to get the money. If it's not worth chasing this person down to get a payment, you may want to "bless and release". [11:36] Nikki shares a personal story about someone who she needed to stop chasing for money. [14:06] Another personal story of someone not paying. [15:25] There will be people who can't or won't pay. Think about how you're going to handle it up front. Payment up front is a good idea.

Ever wonder how to scale your consulting practice without a huge team or complex tech stack? In this episode, Ashley Rose from Systems Over Stress reveals how she built and manages her business using primarily Airtable and strategic automation. A self-described "systems nerd," Ashley opens up about how her ADHD diagnosis led her to create systems that work with her brain instead of against it – and ultimately helped her build a thriving consulting practice.But here's what makes this conversation particularly valuable: Ashley isn't just sharing theory. She breaks down exactly how she uses Airtable as her "first team member," managing everything from client experience to launch tracking with just two part-time VAs. She also gets refreshingly honest about the financial reality of scaling, including a recent $43,000 business loan and her journey to more intentional business spending.Whether you're drowning in spreadsheets or trying to figure out how to scale without sacrificing client experience, this episode offers practical insights on building systems that actually work. Ashley shares specific examples of how she automates everything from sales tracking to content management, and why the right systems can help you make better business decisions.Highlights:Your Systems Should Be Your First Hire - Before bringing on team members, invest in systems that can automate routine tasks and provide clear visibility into your business metrics. A good system is like having an extra team member for just $24/month.Data-Driven Decisions Change Everything - When Ashley ignored her data and followed industry trends, her template shop made $23,000 compared to her group program's $422,000. Having clear metrics helps you make decisions based on what actually works in your business, not just what everyone else is doing.Scale Without Sacrificing Experience - The right systems let you maintain high-touch client experiences even as you grow. From automated check-ins to progress tracking, you can use technology to enhance rather than replace personal connection.Simple Can Be Sophisticated - Ashley manages her entire business with primarily two tools: Airtable and strategic automation. You don't need a complex tech stack to build a successful consulting practice.Resources Mentioned:Airtable: https://www.airtable.com/ Kit (Email Platform): https://kit.com/ Thrivecart: https://thrivecart.com/ Systems Over Stress: https://systemsoverstress.co/ Find Us Online: https://www.confessionswithjessandcindy.comConnect with Ashley:Website: https://systemsoverstress.co/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/systemsoverstress/# Connect with Cindy:Cindy Wagman Coaching: cindywagman.comFractional Fundraising Network: fractionalfundraising.co/LinkedIn: ca.linkedin.com/in/cindywagmanConnect with Jess:Out In the Boons: outintheboons.meLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jesscampbelloutntiheboons/
Simplify, Amplify, Automate - That's the 2025 Vibe! That's the energy we're channelling this year to make waves in business and I'm excited to share how this approach is going to help us 10x everything! We kicked things off by getting crystal clear on who we're targeting. Our society of action-takers, the ones ready to get uncomfortable for growth, that's who we're dialling in as our dream clients. It's about diving deeper, knowing exactly who she is and what makes her tick, so that when we talk, she feels seen and heard. I've been streamlining like a madwoman – think less about juggling multiple offers and more about giving clear paths: either you're in the Academy or the Accelerator. It's less hustle, more clarity for everyone involved. And hey, if you're one of those amazing souls needing a hand with this, you know BBA is your go-to! Key Takeaways: Simplify everything! Whether it's your offerings, your client avatar, or the messaging – keep it tight. Make it undeniably clear who you serve and how. We're talking about going back to our brand strategy and getting even deeper with it. It's not just about doing more, it's about making what you already have reach further. Use ads, more podcast appearances, and of course, lots of content! We're working smarter, not harder, with the help of an awesome content manager. If you're dreaming of scaling up, automation is your best friend. We're refining our funnels, getting cozy with tools like Thrive Cart, and integrating ManyChat to handle those massive peaks in leads smoothly. Building a business isn't just strategies and systems – it's also about working on the personal growth front. We keep those limiting beliefs in check because thriving businesses start from within. So here we are, simplifying, amplifying, automating our way through 2025, which means more time doing what we love with clients who are just the right fit.

MONETIZE A PODCAST WITH FOCUS Focus is the key to monetize a podcast. [Get info on ThriveCart through my affiliate link - CLICK HERE] When I started, I struggled until I focused on one offer to one avatar. As I launched Podcast Talent Coach, I wanted to do everything. I started with one-on-one coaching. I wrote a book that was to be part of a comprehensive course. There were plans for a membership. I was helping people launch their podcast. It was everything I could think of to create multiple streams of income to monetize my podcast. But, nothing was working. There was no traction. Then one day I met my mentor. He taught me the power of creating a signature course. Through his process, I created my signature course through market research with a single avatar. I focused on coaches trying to grow their business. He then showed my how to focus all my efforts on that one offer. My business quickly took off and created my best year yet. DON'T MONETIZE A PODCAST WITH SPONSORS Create one stream of income. Focus is powerful. It is tough to avoid getting distracted. I know multiple streams of income sounds appealing. But you can't create multiple streams until you create your first. And you can't create your first without focus. Many podcasters want to start with sponsorships. It's difficult without a real focus. Trying to monetize a podcast with sponsors is a challenge. Rick was able to get a sponsor in a much different way. Rick Sizemore is the host of the VR Workforce Studio podcast. It is a podcast focused on Individuals with disabilities and stories of employment including training and education, vocational rehabilitation. On the show, Rick celebrates the champions of employment who hire people with disabilities as well as vocational rehabilitation professionals and the work they do to create hope and a path forward to employment for people with disabilities so they can work and lead better lives. The audience for Rick's podcast is very focused and niche. He is totally focused on those in and around vocational rehabilitation. He connected with an organization who wanted to reach that specific group. Rick showed that group how effective his podcast was in sharing a message with the rehab community. The group paid Rick a nice sum to be the sponsor of his show. He was able to land the sponsor, because the show was focused on one specific avatar. NOT ALL LISTENERS ARE THE SAME Unfortunately, most sponsors don't understand the power of the podcast audience. Most podcasters, sponsors and ad agencies treat ads on podcasts like they are ads on traditional media. On traditional media, commercials are sold at a rate per thousand listeners. If the rate is $25 per thousand listeners, and you have 2,000 listeners, an ad on your show is worth $50. But podcast listeners aren't equal to traditional media listeners. If QuickBooks advertised on a football game, only a fraction of those listeners or viewers would be interested in QuickBooks. Therefore, paying $25 for a thousand listeners doesn't really get them a thousand listeners. It's just a fraction. On the other hand, if QuickBooks advertised on a small business podcast, nearly every listener needs accounting software. Paying for a thousand listeners will get you nearly a thousand listeners interested in their product. Podcast listeners are immensely more valuable than traditional listeners. Unfortunately, traditional advertisers treat them the same. You become a commodity with ads and sponsors unless you find that special unicorn of an advertiser that understands the power. Finding that unicorn takes a lot of time and effort. Time away from your business. Monetize a podcast by focusing on your core offer. Ads and sponsorships also cap the revenue potential. How many ads can you possibly put on your podcast? Finally, your listeners don't want ads and sponsors. They are fleeing traditional media to escape ads. How irritated do you get when an ad pops up in the middle of a YouTube video you're watching? MONETIZE A PODCAST WITH YOUR OFFER Instead of ads, monetize your podcast by marketing your own stuff. Focus on one offer. You might think it is easiest to sell a low ticket offer. Something like a $19 book or a $47 course. The opposite is true. Price conveys value. If you are offering a $47 course, people think it's worth $47. Few people are clamoring to buy $47 anything. If it's a $2,000 program, people feel it should be packed full of value greater than $2,000. People save up to buy a $2,000 product. It isn't uncommon to buy a $47 course and never even start it. When people invest $2,000 in a program, it is much more likely they will consume it. People value what they invest in. LOW TICKET TAKES MORE TIME AND EFFORT It also takes just as much time to sell a $47 product as it does to sell a $2,000 product. A sale is a sale. Low ticket products also create more headaches. People who purchase low ticket items tend to complain and want refunds. When I was selling my $497 course, I had multiple people want payment options. It's a 4-week course for $497. How can I possibly break that into payments. When I started selling my $20,000 coaching program, coaches would ask how to pay in one lump sum or just simply as how to pay. There were very few issues. Those who can afford to invest in high-end programs tend to have their business dialed in. They aren't worried how to make a $200 payment. It's more about the results than the price. I recently stopped offering my free strategy call. It was a struggle to get people to take advantage of the opportunity. People value what they pay for. Then, they would often book and not show up. Instead of free strategy calls, I began offering an hour of my coaching for $150. You can see it at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/apply. On the first day I changed from free to the $150 call, I had someone sign up. People value what they pay for. MONETIZE A PODCAST WITH PARTNERS We now have your avatar and offer dialed in. You have offered it and sold it. More importantly, you want to keep selling it. It is time to market your offer to monetize a podcast. Instead of buying ads, get partners to promote it. Joint venture partnerships are a powerful way to market your stuff to your ideal clients. Find partners who are already speaking to your avatar. When a partner promotes your offer, they are typically paid a commission on those sales. If the offer is digital or a physical product, commission is typically around 50%. When the offer involves your time such as coaching, commission is 10% or 20%. These sales are tracked through affiliate links. When you have affiliate tracking software, it will create a link specific for each of your partners. Your JV partners then promote your offer through that link. When their tribe clicks the link to make the purchase, your affiliate software tracks it. THRIVECART OPPORTUNITY I currently use ThriveCart. It is a great way to track affiliates and pay commissions. I have been using it for a few years now. Here is the best thing about ThriveCart. You can currently purchase ThriveCart for a one-time payment rather than a monthly fee like most software. You can see ThriveCart at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/ThriveCart. That is my affiliate link. When you purchase ThriveCart through that link, I'll make a small commission from your purchase. It doesn't cost you any more. This is just a way ThriveCart markets their software. Now, I can't tell you how long it will be a flat fee purchase and when they will move to a monthly fee. I can only tell you that as of this recording, it is a flat fee and you own it. Check it out at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/ThriveCart. MONETIZE A PODCAST WITH ONE STREAM Now you have an offer for an avatar and you have partners promoting you. The next step is to do more of the same. To monetize a podcast, really get your process working. You'll be tempted to focus on other products and additional streams of income. Stay the course. Get this offer really refined. Make it generate more cash with less work. It may sound boring, but it's worth it. Avoid the headaches that come with juggling multiple offers. Once your offer is generating over $100k in annual revenue, you can then begin working on offer number two. Until then, keep refining your primary offer. Sell more to more people. There are two ways to make more money. First, sell to more customers. Next, make more from each customer by increasing prices or selling more. Business is a simple process when you focus. To monetize a podcast, focus on your offer.

Let's talk launches - do you love them or hate them? Lots of business owners, coaches and course creators approach them with a mix of excitement (potential for great sales) and dread (it's a ton of work and what if it doesn't bring in the numbers we're hoping for?) Launches can feel quite overwhelming because there are typically a lot of moving parts to set up behind the scenes for something that runs for a short time. I wasn't a huge fan of big launches for my first few years in business because of that workload - we all know I like to keep things simple! But I also love a puzzle, and found launches really interesting when I watched my entrepreneurial friends do them! And they really can bring in an incredible amount of revenue, so I had a go, kept at it, and once I learned a few tricks to make launches simpler and more manageable, they became such a handy tool, not just for bringing in great money but for growing and scaling my business at the same time. Launches for my passive products are the reason I can keep my client numbers low and enjoy working just a couple of hours a day instead of full time, and I think once you find the version of launching that works best for you, you'll love having that extra time and financial abundance in your business too! --- Mentioned in this episode: Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula free masterclass *I'm an affiliate for Jeff, and receive a commission if you join one of his paid programs via my link Leadpages (affiliate link) ThriveCart (affiliate link) ConvertKit (affiliate link) --- Come chat with me on Instagram! --- Ready to simplify your business?

Doing It Online : The Doable Online Marketing Podcast with Kate McKibbin
In today's episode, we're diving into a showdown between two checkout platforms: Thrivecart and Samcart. With experience using both extensively, I've broken down their comparison into key categories to help you make an informed decision. Pricing: Samcart offers multiple price options, with the $149/month tier being the most common. Thrivecart, on the other hand, requires a one-time payment of around $500 for lifetime access, so it's the more cost-effective option. Stability: Thrivecart has a history of stability issues, prompting my switch to Samcart, which guarantees a 99.9% uptime. Support: Samcart shines in support, offering better communication and even a paid option for priority support. Courseware: While both platforms offer courseware, Thrivecart emerges as the easier-to-use and aesthetically pleasing option. Design: Thrivecart's checkout designs are visually appealing but come with stability concerns. Order Bump Design: Thrivecart offers a more user-friendly experience for creating order bumps, though limited to one per transaction. Samcart allows for multiple order bumps, albeit with more manual adjustments required. Affiliates: Thrivecart's all-inclusive pricing surpasses Samcart's tiered structure, particularly in affiliate management. Upsell Tracks: Samcart's unique feature of creating different upsell tracks based on purchase price puts it ahead of Thrivecart. Reporting: While Thrivecart offers clearer funnel breakdowns, Samcart provides a more comprehensive overview of individual product sales. Final Decision: After careful evaluation, Samcart emerges as the preferred choice due to its stability and support. However, the right choice between the two depends on individual business needs and preferences. Tune in to understand the nuances of each platform and make the best decision aligned with your business goals. LINKS: Website | Instagram | Programs | YouTube

When it comes to growing your podcast and building your business, a joint venture partnership is a powerful way to find success. Many people view a JV partnership in a very simplistic way. The most common JV partnership is an agreement to promote a product or service in exchange for an affiliate commission. But, there are many other ways to leverage a JV partnership. Why would people want to promote you? This is a common question, especially if you have a small audience or small email list. There are various reasons, and money is only one of them. PARTNERSHIP FOR MONEY Money is surely one motivation for promotion. This is what most people think of when they hear JV partnership. In this agreement, you would provide your promotional partner an affiliate link through your system like ThriveCart. You can see the power of ThriveCart at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/ThriveCart. Your partner promotes your offer using their affiliate link. When their audience makes a purchase through your link, your partner earns a commission on the sale. You can also created a simple referral system if you're a coach. In this system, your partner would send an introductory email to you and the person they are referring to you. If that person signs up for your coaching, you can pay your referral partner a referral fee. This method requires a little more manual work, but you don't need a lot of software to help you set it up. Just track it with a spreadsheet. YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY The second reason people would promote you is because they love you. Your friends and family would be willing to promote you, because they want to see you succeed. Reach out to the people you know who also know others who could be your ideal client. Ask if they will help you spread the word. YOUR CONTENT People may want to promote you, because they love what you do. Your superfans love to be part of a winning team. When Alex Hormozi launched his new book “$100M Leads”, he had thousands of people promoting him. These people received a bonus chapter of the book when they hit a threshold. Alex's partners weren't in it for the money. They just loved what Alex teaches and wanted to be part of something exciting. He simply empowered his superfans to spread the word. PARTNERSHIP SWAPS The next reason people might promote you is for exchange of promotions. Partners will often promote you in exchange for promoting them. Sometimes, your list isn't big enough to match your partner's list. How can you give equal exchange? My tech guy wanted to be part of an AI summit. Unfortunately, he didn't have an email list largest enough to qualify. My tech guy came to me and offered some services in exchange for using my list. I will email about the summit to fulfill his obligation to the summit. In exchange, I will receive some tech work. He will promote the summit. In exchange, he will get exposure to the summit audience to promote his services. Get creative with your partnerships. ASSOCIATION PARTNERSHIP That other reason people might promote you is for association. These people may want to gain the credibility just by being associated with you. I volunteered as the Dean of Podcasting in Dan Miller's 48 Days Eagles community. I happily offered value in the community and promoted it whenever I could. The biggest benefit I received was being associated with Dan. He was a great man, and I was honored to be part of his world. Find people who want to be in your world. WAYS TO PROMOTE There are a variety of ways people can promote you and you can promote others when you create a partnership. The easiest way is to feature them on your podcast and get on their show. This is the best way to grow your audience. Podcast listeners listen to podcasts. Get on other shows. Cross promotion is the second way to promote each other. This can be in exchange for money as described before. It could also be simple exposure. In a cross-promotion, I could mail your lead magnet offer to my email list. In exchange, you could email my offer to your list. No money exchanges hands. It's a simple promotion. Next, you could use gift giveaways in your partnership. A giveaway is a collection of gifts contributed by a group of experts. Each expert emails their list a link to the giveaway for the free gifts. As people visit the giveaway page, the giveaway host grows her list by people opting in for the giveaway. Contributors grow their email lists by people opting in for their gift. Many times there is a fee to participate in a giveaway. It is nominal, but usually worth it to grow your email list. I love using summits as a way to create partnerships. This is like a series of webinars centered around a theme, but each expert doesn't sell anything. They simply offer free gifts to build their email lists. Live events can also be used in a partnership. This is similar to a summit. It's just live. You can appear on my stage in exchange for a fee or promoting the event. UNIQUE JV PARTNERSHIP At my Podcast Profits Summit, Marc Mawhinney laid out the power of joint venture partnerships. Marc Mawhinney is a lifelong entrepreneur who helps coaches get more clients without paid advertising. He achieves this with his coaching programs, his podcast Natural Born Coaches, his Facebook group The Coaching Jungle, and his Secret Coach Club. Marc has been a speaker at events like Social Media Marketing World, frequently makes media appearances and contributes for Entrepreneur.com, and is a master at the joint venture partnership. I want to share this interview to help you see how you can implement JV partnerships in your podcast and business. Enjoy. Marc's May 2023 issue of his Secret Coach Club newsletter was dedicated to the topic of flat fee JVs. You can get a copy of that newsletter, which sells for $97, at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com.flatfeejv.
