  • What if you don't have a M A S S I V E audience?
    Is creating content a waste of time?
    Do you need to keep building, building, building your audience before you can expect to make any money?
    NOPE.
    It's not impossible to create big profits when you don't have big audience numbers.
    Sooooo, okay. How do we do it if we don't have huuuuuuuge numbers?
    Stacey Brass Russell, business & life transformation coach, offers her point of view on this topic in today's episode of Content Creation Made Easy.
    (Buckle in. You're gonna love her energy!)
    Stacey comes to business with what I deem a *completely fascinating* background!
    How does a former Broadway actress, yoga teacher, NYC studio owner wind up with a thriving business?
    She's gonna tell you. Then she's gonna tell you what happened after her first round of clients seemingly "dried up" and what she did about it.
    You'll hear Stacey's insights on:
    -What to say that attracts Right-For-You clients. (You KNOW this is my favorite topic in the world!)
    -Creating business that thrives, even when you don't have big audience numbers.
    -Debunk myths around what kind of information you *actually* need to share in your content
    Stacey has a methodical approach to
    1. creating value that resonates
    2. establishing personal connections - BTW, so important in this online climate…
    3. adapting your business model & mindset - because what used to work might NOT be working for you OR your audience anymore.

  • Dallas Travers had a GREAT freakin' idea for a VERY large initiative she wanted to put into the world…
    It was an e-magazine that a bit of a 'disruptor' in the online space, with 3 main goals:
    1. Offer coaches alternatives to outdated approaches
    2. Provide space for underrepresented voices to be heard
    3. Raise money to donate funds to a meaningful cause
    When I got my eyes on it, the first thing I thought while it was, "DAMN. This is a fantastic piece of content."
    The second thing I thought was, "DAMN. This must've been an enormous amount of work to pull off."
    So I reached out to Dallas to see if she'd talk about the REALITY behind what it took to actually getting that big, exciting, impactful, amazing piece of content into the world…
    When she said yes, I was thrilled!
    You probably already know Dallas Travers: she's the host of Coaches on a Mission podcast AND is a well-known & highly respected coach of coaches.
    Dallas takes us behind the scenes to reveal what it's really like to develop such a big vision and bring her online magazine - called What To Do Instead (WTDI) - to life.
    The What To Do Instead project created challenges & forced Dallas (and her team) to
    evolve their priorities,
    put Dallas' strategic gifts into overdrive,
    and play with new tactics & approaches so they could hit their goals.
    In true Dallas form, she generously shares the lessons learned & gives advice that'll help you bring your own ideas to fruition…
    While honoring 'the dignity of your own process' - one of my personal favorite Dallas-isms.
    Listen in for inspiration, motivation, and a dose of reality - always a great trifecta.

  • Using storytelling is a content approach that will only become more & more important as AI tools & technology becomes faster, better, & more prevalent.
    We can absolutely use AI tools to help us, but...
    Your audience is STILL looking for a connection to you, a dose of YOU - as a personal brand.
    So, as you try to market your program, services, books, and courses in the online world, learning to tell great stories is vital because:

    3. Your stories need to be designed to shift your audience into customers and clients.
    Storytelling is 100% a learnable skill -
    And even if your life is soooo boring, you're a "horrible" storytelling, or you have no idea where to find story ideas...
    LISTEN UP TODAY!
    Because over the next 3 episodes, I’m offering you what's basically a mini-training on how to effectively…
    a) Provide value to your audience while helping them get to know you…
    b) Come up with simple story ideas from your real life (yes, even if you barely leave the house)
    c) Tell stories without feeling like your audience is getting to know you at the expense of you feeling like your privacy is invaded
