#232 - 7 Steps To Creating a 7-Figure Course
I’ve made my fair share of mistakes in business.
I’m currently calling Hello Funnels ‘Business 3.2’, because for a long time, while I could get businesses quite quickly to the mid-6 figure mark, they would frustratingly stay stuck there for years.
So I’d drop the business and start again - unfortunately, always ending up at that same point. I was forever asking myself, “What is happening? Why am I not moving?”
Finally, I began to figure it out. I came to some strategies that finally started to move the needle and got me closer to creating the 7-figure course I was dreaming of.
Today, I’m going to share those 7 steps with you - so grab a pen and your notepad, because you're going to want to jot down a few notes!
We’ll explore:
Knowing your dream client inside out
Offering quality over quantity
Assembling your team
Doing the live reps
Systemising your processes
Knowing how to drive leads
Make marketing pay for itself
With these steps in mind, you’re well on your way to creating an online course that could reach 7 figures.
These might seem daunting at first, but trust me, they’re critical to your long-term success. Put these steps into action and you’ll be scaling new heights in no time!

#231 - 3 easy ideas to smash your end of year sales goal
Have you hit all of your business goals this year? If there are some things you’re still hoping to achieve before the year’s end, I’ve got some high-converting ideas you can implement to see a bump in sales and end the year with a bang.
In this episode, I share four simple strategies that are fast to implement, yet super effective:
Refresh and relaunch one of your online programs. You can re-record a couple of lessons, or perhaps update the workbook fonts or colours for an updated look. This will give you a chance to sneak in one more little promotion for the year.
Create a VIP experience for existing clients. Whether it’s a live workshop or a planning session, you can show your appreciation to your valuable customers and provide added value during the busy holiday season.
Hold an end-of-year or new-year workshop. Consider hosting a live workshop to help your audience either wrap up the year on a high note or kickstart the new one with some energy.
Set up a funnel. This one is a game-changer that I believe every business owner should implement. So why should you set up a funnel? Funnels work tirelessly for you, like a little machine running in the background of your business. They effectively convert leads into customers, bringing in sales while you focus on other tasks in your business.
So, there you have it - four high-converting ideas to help boost your end-of-year sales and set the stage for an amazing 2025. Remember, you don't need to tackle all of them at once. Pick one or two that resonate with you, and take action. Your goals are absolutely within reach, and these strategies are here to help you achieve them.

#230 - How She Did It: How Summer hit reliable $10k months with a low ticket offer and no list
Funnels don’t work. I don’t have time to try and create one.
Maybe if the launch actually works this time, I’ll get around to doing it.
Does this sound like you? If you’ve been telling yourself this story for a while, like many of us business owners out there, it might be time to see it for what it really is—just a story!
For most people running their own businesses, there’s just not a lot of time to crack the code on creating that reliable, passive income.
The good news is, creating your funnels and ecosystems doesn’t have to take that long. You just need to understand how to do it right.
While I usually love walking you through the tactics and the step-by-steps on successfully scaling your offer, today I’m doing something different.
I have some real life examples for you of people just like you who've been able to successfully set up, automate and scale their own online sales and marketing ecosystems - hitting those $10k months and more!
From hearing these stories, I know you're going to start to realise just how possible it is for you too.
For those ready to dive in, I’m hosting a free, live masterclass where I will walk you through everything you need to know about creating these robust systems. Find out how you can save your seat for free via the link below.

#229 - Is this why evergreen isn't working for you?
You nerded up. You stood up and did the big, scary thing. You created that funnel.
But…it didn’t go as well as you hoped.
Even after promoting your lead magnets and running ads, the sales came through at a frustrating trickle. We’ve all been there - especially as busy business owners who don’t necessarily have the time to perfectly optimise our funnels.
When you feel like your funnel’s a flop, it’s too easy to come to the conclusion that funnels don’t work - or at least, not for you.
But what if I told you there was a workaround that could save you time and create higher conversion rates, all with you becoming a marketing expert?
Today, I’m introducing a new, easy way to create funnels that might just change everything for you and your business: stacking multiple, imperfect funnels.
While creating more than one funnel might sound ambitious, it’s actually all about working smarter, not harder.
So join me and learn about this time-saving, high-converting strategy that will transform those trickles into floods of sales!

#227 - The Iceberg Effect: The TRUTH behind those income claims posts
You know those big names you follow online, the ones with the impressive income claims and mind-blowing success stories? Ever sensed that there's more beneath the surface?
You’re absolutely right.
The truth is, the real magic happens with the strategies you don't see – the ones running quietly behind the scenes, often making up 30 to 40, even up to 60%, of the successful revenue.
That's right, without these tactics, many of these influencers and entrepreneurs would be running close to or at a loss. And yet, these strategies are rarely shared or discussed.
But don’t worry, today I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the invisible strategies that truly drive success.

#226 - Email Marketing 101
Ah, the magical world of email marketing.
It can be a confusing space to navigate, especially when the rules seem to be constantly changing.
Naturally, I get asked a lot of questions about how to approach it and the best practices for increasing engagement with our email list.

The questions we’ll cover are:
How often should I email my email list?
How often should I promote to my list?
What are good open rates?
What size list do I need to start selling products?
What percentage of my email list should I expect to buy?
What size list do I need to create a funnel?

#224 - How to make MORE sales (faster) from your email list - with Kennedy from Email Marketing Heroes
The way we consume things is changing.
We’re so distracted and overwhelmed as a society, that even the way TV is produced is different.
For example, producers like Netflix are developing shows to cater to two screens: the TV, and the phone in our hand we’re scrolling through as we watch.
If this kind of behaviour is true across all mediums, what do we do to keep our audience engaged through our marketing?
Today, our guest Kennedy from Email Marketing Heroes is here to let you in on the secret that has helped his and his clients’ businesses not just reach, but engage more and more people. Kennedy is a dear friend of mine, a marketing genius and one of the brains behind the Countdown Hero Timer.
Whether you're aiming for more sales, more appointments or just want to grow a fiercely loyal audience, he has some actionable strategies and insights on reaching your goals and making more sales faster - all from your email list.
We chat about the importance of establishing a core email list, why deepening relationships with the people on it is more important than your subject line and how consistent you need to be with sending to your list in order to stay visible.
No matter the number of people currently on it, your email list holds so much potential in helping you make the kinds of sales you’re really after. Master the art of engagement with the humans whose attention you have right now, and you’ll be on the fast track to significantly boosting your sales.

#223 - 7 Questions To A Sold-Out Offer (Everytime)
Too often, making a sale feels like trying to get blood from a stone.
You’ve poured your heart, soul, time and money into creating your offer, but when it comes to launch time, the sales count leaves a lot to be desired.
So what can we do to make sure our offer not only sells, but sells OUT every single time?
The answer: you need to create a “hells yes” offer. This means your offer is crazy valuable, clear to understand and exactly what your audience needs.
Today, I've got a simple exercise you can do to make sure your offer is irresistible to your ideal client and infinitely easier to sell.
I recommend grabbing a glass of wine or a cup of coffee, finding a quiet spot and diving into these 7 questions that will help turn your offer into one that’s undeniably a “hells yes” to your audience!
What is the #1 Thing Your Ideal Client Wants?
How Long Do They Actually Want It to Take?
What Do They NOT Want to Have to Do to Get It?
What Have They Tried Already That Hasn't Worked and Why?
How Stressed About Money is Your Target Market Right Now?
What Feels Risky to Them About Your Offer Now?
What Has Changed in Your Market Recently That Impacts Them?
These questions are powerful tools to help you create a sold out offer every time you launch. Not only that, but take the time to ask them and you’ll be well on your way to helping your clients kick some serious goals!

#222 - Do this BEFORE you spend money on your funnel
So, you’ve created a funnel. You designed it, built it, got it up and running. But now what?
You’ve still got the same problems in your business as before, and it certainly didn’t make you the overnight millionaire you secretly hoped it would.
It might not be that you have a bad funnel. It could be that you just don’t have all the other pieces in place to make it convert how you want.
Today, we’ll explore the importance of having a solid funnel strategy - the first step in optimising your funnel to perform at its best.
I take you through common mistakes I see people make once they’ve created their funnel: rushing to ads, avoiding ads altogether and neglecting their existing email list.
I then share some ideas to consider to really get your funnel working, such as knowing your numbers, upselling and planning live promotions.
Want to grow your list? I introduce you to the Traffic Trifecta, the three systems you need in place to build your marketing machine:
Content Marketing
Paid Ads
JV Promotions
In a nutshell, having a beautifully designed funnel is just the beginning. To succeed, you need a rock-solid strategy that includes testing, optimising and engaging your audience consistently. Implement these steps, and your funnel can become a sales powerhouse.
So let’s make a start on getting that funnel to make sales for you, expand your list and ensure your business continues to grow.

#221 - Do you need to delete your email list?
Are you getting low open rates on the emails you send to your list?
If you’re like most people out there, you might be getting email open rates of between 10-20%. Now, this might mean you’ve either been a little neglectful of your list or have been bombarding your audience with too many offers. Unfortunately, it’s showing!
But don’t worry - I have a really simple process to help you re-engage your list, increase your open rates and give your email list a little CPR.
In this episode, I’ll take you step-by-step through that strategy so you can keep your audience engaged and make sure your emails don't end up in the spam folder!
We’ll explore cleaning out your email list, segmenting your most engaged contacts and A/B split testing subject lines. I’ll also give you some ideas on crafting emails that will give your email list a little jolt of life.
Getting your emails moving again really can be simple, and I’ve seen firsthand how powerful these steps are in giving that email list a little jolt of life. So, tune in and get ready to revamp your email marketing today!

#220 - Is this the easier + more profitable way to launch?
Let’s be real - launching has always sucked. But in 2024, it sucks just that little bit more.
For many of us, especially those without huge teams, the process of preparing, running, and recovering from these launches leaves little time for anything else.
But fear not: there is a way around all of this. Today, I’m taking you through a new and exciting way of launching that is less stressful, potentially more profitable and just a whole lot better overall.
Now, I’m sorry to say that I won’t be recommending stopping launching altogether or giving up on live events. Instead, I’m talking about evergreen launches and the power they have to transform your workflow.
These smaller, more frequent campaigns can be reused, repeated and partially automated, giving you back your precious time and providing consistency in your revenue.
So, if you're fed up with the traditional launch model and ready to discover a new way of doing things, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore evergreen launches as your easier and more profitable way to launch!

#219 - Is closing in the DMs more work than sales calls (and how to fix it)
Who actually loves sales calls? I know there are a few people who thrive on them, but for most of us out there, that’s not a reality.

Today, I’m taking you through some practical ideas to help reduce the time spent on answering the influx of questions in your DMs and make your sales strategy a whole lot more efficient.
We’ll explore the realities and problems that come with DM sales, and my favourite solution to mitigate them: automation!
Automating messages can save a whole lot of time and energy, and you likely already have the tool to best execute this with: ManyChat.
I'll walk you through my experiments and findings over the last couple of months, illustrating how automation can be a game changer for your customer engagement.

#218 - Stopping launching is not the answer... THIS IS
Most launches these days are using more time, effort and revenue than they’re giving back. It too often feels like there’s just no payoff for the amount of hours we spend on trying to make them work.
So what’s the answer? While you might be tempted to throw in the towel and give up on launching altogether, I'm here to tell you that stopping launching isn’t it.
Today, I’m sharing another behind-the-scenes look at our recent UFW live event—a three-day extravaganza that was incredibly fun and value-packed. I’ll take you through some of the biggest aha moments from those three days, as well as how to implement some practical strategies to combat those live launching blues and start making more sales.
So, strap in and get ready to learn how to transform your business, one simple piece at a time. I can guarantee that if you take the first step today, you’ll look back in a few months and be amazed at how far you’ve come.

Want to know the secret to selling out your offers consistently?
Well, you’re in luck, because today I’m sharing a snippet from Day 2 of our UFW live event that blew our attendees away and armed them with some crucial strategies to sell their offers with much more ease.
With so much marketing advice making the rounds online, it can be really confusing to know what the best path to take is. But I have some good news for you: you don’t need to be a sales and marketing expert to make more sales.
In this episode, we’re talking about a simple reframe that will highlight what you should actually be focusing on to move the needle forward in your business.

Despite the economic waves, your business can thrive with the right adjustments. Little tweaks add up, whether it’s pricing, promise or payment options. Remember, our goal is continuous improvement – the layer-by-layer approach often leads to the most substantial gains.

#216 - These exact words will make you more sales
I recently held an epic three-day experience called “Unf*ckwithable Live”. This was a live online event packed with value to help business owners make more sales and thrive, no matter what the economy is doing.
We received such amazing feedback from this event, I couldn’t resist sharing the top three takeaways with you. So, pick up your pen and paper and get ready for some serious value bombs that you can take right into your business:
Speak Your Audience’s Language
Getting in front of lots of people is one thing, but how do you make it so that they remember you? The answer: You need to learn to speak their language. We’ll explore learning your audience’s pain points and how to communicate with them in their own words.
Create Impactful Lead Magnets
Once you’ve uncovered the right messaging, it’s time to create lead magnets that tie to your talking points. I talk about the 20-minute rule, where any freebie you offer should take no more than 20 minutes to consume. A concise and impactful lead magnet lets them see immediate value, making them much more likely to buy your paid offers.
Can You Afford to Pay for Your Customers?
This might look like a weird question, but hear me out: once you’ve nailed offers that sell with ease, you’ll know exactly how much you can spend to acquire new customers safely. You can dive into the marketplace of paid ads and put them on repeat. It’s a bit like having a superpower – you’re protected against any market ups and downs, and you’ll keep making sales no matter what.
Now, don’t be scared off by these strategies if you don’t have the greatest budget or all your systems in place yet. They’re the end goal, the stuff we’re always working towards. Just start with connection, and you’ll be on your way to kicking all your business goals.

So, let’s take a deep breath, dust ourselves off and look at this six-step plan that will help you increase sales, maintain growth and stay proactive in these challenging times.
We’ll step through:
Getting clear on your numbers
Identifying and focusing on profitable offers
Adapting and optimising your offers

#214 - What is a Sales Ecosystem and why do you need one for your course?
Have you ever been told that you could be just "one funnel away from a million dollars"?
While this sounds pretty enticing, I’ll be honest with you: it’s just a much-quoted line of BS. The truth is, relying on just one thing for your business is terrible advice.
So, what can you do instead that works easier, better and faster?
Today, we’ll explore creating a sales ecosystem, which includes these three main components:
Email Engine: The Heartbeat of Your Business
Social Selling System: Engaging Your Audience
Evergreen Launching: Sustaining and Growing
By integrating these three systems, you can create a resilient sales ecosystem with multiple revenue layers. This approach gives you control, flexibility and peace of mind.
So, if you’re tired of running on the spot and hoping things work out in your business, give these strategies a try. I guarantee it’ll give you the confidence you need to plan and grow strategically.

#213 - 3 things you need to change in your business to survive in 2024
I recently celebrated a big milestone – five years in business! Reflecting on this journey got me thinking about how different it's been from my first online venture, a blog. Market maturation is a big reason why.
Remember those free-wheeling blogging days? We were all about sharing knowledge and building communities. But as the market matured, things got more competitive. Higher-quality content became the norm, and established media crowded the space. That's market maturation at work!
The online course industry, my current playground, is experiencing a similar shift. Those early days felt like a gold rush for creating and sharing knowledge. Now, market maturation is changing the game. There's more competition, and learners expect top-notch production and in-depth content.
But here's the good news: market maturation can be your friend! In the episode, I share three key takeaways I've learned to navigate this evolving market:
Find your niche and own it. Don't try to be everything to everyone. Become the go-to resource in your specific area.
Show up and connect with your audience. People buy from people they know and trust. Build relationships by consistently showing up, providing value beyond your courses, and fostering a community.
Offer courses more frequently. Ditch the launch-and-disappear strategy. Embrace an evergreen approach with smaller, more frequent course offerings.
By understanding market maturation and implementing these tips, you can position yourself for long-term success in the online course world.

#212 - Are YOU the problem with your offer?
Are you finding it difficult to sell your online courses or offers right now? Let's be honest, things have gotten tougher lately, and I’ve been having so many conversations in our community and in my DMs about just how slow things are.
So what’s the secret sauce to actually making sales? For 90% of us, the answer isn’t in our marketing - it’s in the offer itself.
Before you go and try new selling tactics or binge on other people’s launch debriefs, let’s look at the basics. Is your offer the right fit for you? Does it suit the life you’re hoping to live, as well as address the needs of your audience?
Today I’m going to run you through:
Creating the Right Offer
Aligning Your Offer with You and Your Market
Understanding the Market
Understanding You
The Result: A Win-Win Offer
So, have a think about what you really want for your business. How do you like showing up? How do you like to sell? There’s no wrong answer here, and once you figure out how to tweak your offer to maximise your time, energy and joy, you’ll be on the right track to seeing your online sales grow.

#211 - If launching feels hard right now : listen to this
Let's face it, launching online programs in 2024 is rough. It just keeps getting harder, and there's no magic bullet on the horizon. If this sounds like you, constantly launching but with fizzling results, you're not alone.
So, what's the answer? We need a sustainable, manageable system to remove the launch cycle without sacrificing income.
Forget the one-size-fits-all funnel. We teach our clients to build an ecosystem that consists of three parts:
Social Sales System (aka InstaATM): This is your sales engine on autopilot, powered by the magic of ManyChat and a few automations..
Email Engine (aka M3 Funnel): This is your tireless salesperson, working 24/7 to turn leads into sales with a nurturing sequence.
Evergreen Launches: We're not ditching launches entirely, but we're making them evergreen.
This isn't a get-rich-quick scheme – it's about building a sustainable business. After a few months of implementing this ecosystem, you'll not only have a well-oiled sales engine, but you'll also have a system that pretty much runs on autopilot. This frees up your time and energy to focus on what truly matters – growing your business and serving your clients.
We've got a free tool to help you see the potential – a calculator that lets you plug in your numbers and project your monthly revenue with this system in place. Head over to hellofunnels.co/quit (as in "quit launching") to check it out.

#210 - 3 ways to 2024-proof your webinars
I love webinars. They're still one of my favourite ways to convert online, but let's face it – people's consumption habits are changing. I have seen so many business owners struggling recently with very low attendance rates, dismal consumption rates on their webinars and they’re starting to wonder whether webinars are dead.
Well before you throw the whole strategy out, I’ve got three simple tweaks that can help your webinars convert for the sophisticated 2024 consumer.
Audio on the Go: Your New Secret Weapon
Repurpose your webinar as an audio recording, basically a podcast episode. This lets folks consume your content while they're commuting, exercising, or tackling chores.
Snackable Content: Bite-Sized Knowledge Bombs
Let's be honest, attention spans are shrinking faster than a free sample table at Woolies. Instead of one long webinar, why not break it down into bite-sized, 10-minute modules? Think of them as "snackable content" – easy to digest and perfect for busy schedules.
The Mini-Webinar: Your Warm-Up Act
Imagine a supercharged version of your webinar, condensed into a power-packed 10 minutes.

#209 - Thrivecart VS Samcart
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.

#205 - Steal our 6-figure social media funnel
Have you seen the abundance of Instagram posts asking you to DM a specific word to receive a freebie?
I’m sure you have! It’s been a hugely popular strategy in recent months and has brought success for a lot of people. How exactly does something so simple create success and profit in your business?
That’s what we’re exploring in today’s episode! I’ll take you through my Instagram funnel and the steps I use to maximise its impact.
Phase One: Engagement: The first phase of a social media funnel is where you engage with your audience and ask them to DM you a specific word or phrase for a freebie. Then an automated tool like ManyChat, responds to them and gives them the product, all without you lifting a finger!
Phase Two: Qualification: A bit of time after they received whatever they opted in for, you should check back in to tell them about another offer that could benefit them. If they’re interested, ask a qualifying question to help you determine which of your products is best suited to them.
Phase Three: Connect and Convert: The final phase of the social media funnel focuses on connecting with users on a deeper level and guiding them toward conversion. I don’t mean pretending they aren’t talking with a bot; I mean adding personal touches to the automation that helps people connect with you.
What happens next is going to differ for every business and every offer. Maybe some people get sent to a low-ticket offer, another group gets a discount code to access a program, and another group gets invited to book a call with you. Wherever they end up, phase two & three will significantly boost your chances of converting to a sale.
Enjoy!

#202 - We started a new Instagram account and this is what happened
It’s tough out there in the world of social media. If you have an Instagram account, you've probably thought more than once about throwing it in the bin and just starting all over. You’ve also probably seen people shouting about how old accounts are dead and that you actually can get crazy growth if you start from scratch.
Yep, we’ve felt and heard it all too. So, you know what? We decided to give it a go!
Now, the idea of leaving behind our previous Instagram account of 24,000 followers was scary. And how would it look on the brand to have a new account with zero followers? But something had to be done. We had lost a whole lot of engagement on our previous account due to a rebrand, and were desperate to revive things.
So, we took the plunge and decided to make 2024 the year of trying things out to see what would happen. Today, I'm going to break down exactly what we did, how it's going and our takeaways after 30 days of starting our Instagram account completely from scratch.
I’ll take you through our strategy of 90 days of Reels, the surprising increase in reach we’ve seen after 30 days, and the tactics we’ll be turning to next.
As we continue on this interesting path of growing our new Instagram account from zero, we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop of what is and isn’t working. And of course, if you want to be one of our first 200 followers, then head on over to @hellofunnels.co and check out what we’re doing!

#201 - If I had to start from scratch, this is what I would do
Are you wondering how to start a successful business in 2024? I was recently sent a question in my DMs asking me what I would do if I was starting all over again this year. Firstly, what I would do starting out in 2024 is very different from what I’ve done in the past.
And as someone who’s currently on business 3.0 and has grown faster with each iteration, I just may have a tip or two to share!
So whether you’re looking to start a successful business or start one over, grab your notes and listen in as I walk you through what I’ve learnt and what my exact strategies for 2024 would be, including:
Identifying Your Target Market
Setting Up a Simple Funnel
Hiring a Virtual Assistant
One-on-One Packages for Cash Flow
Monthly Mini Workshops
Creating an Implementation-Based Community
Offer a High Ticket Online Course
While each step takes a little bit of work to set up in the first place, you’re doing it with the intent to eventually automate, systemise or outsource your processes. This gets your business working for you, while giving you the time to expand in other areas that will see it continue to grow!

#199 - Circle vs Kajabi for online course creation
If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll know that I’m a bit of nerd for tech. So today, we’re talking software - specifically, platforms for online course creation and why moved away from our previous platform set up.
When it comes to delivering our online courses, we had been using a few different platforms: Kajabi for our course curriculum, Slack for our community, Zoom for our coaching calls and AddEvent for managing our client's calendars. While these tools all worked well individually, the lack of cohesiveness and the limitations of Kajabi was really starting to bug me!
In this episode, I’m talking about why we at Hello Funnels made the move from Kajabi to Circle. I take you through the different platforms we explored first, such as Mighty Networks and Heartbeat, as well as their pros and cons.
After a bit of a battle of the bots, Circle was the clear winner. I highlight the features that won us over, such as its user-friendly design, streamlined backend and overall simplicity.
A quick word of warning: moving platforms can be a big procrastination technique and a massive waste of time if you don’t need to do it. However, if you know it’s time to improve your processes for online course delivery, tune in and find out why I highly recommend giving Circle a closer look!

Do you want to scale your online course, or get more people on your list? Maybe you’re tired of having to make endless social media posts or appearances on podcasts. Well, look no further, because I’ve got just the thing for you: micro offers. Today I’m doing a rerun of this episode to help you hit the ground running and start 2024 right with this #1 marketing strategy.
If you've been around this part of the internet for a while, you've probably heard me talk about what we call ‘mini but mighty’ offers. They're also known as self liquidating offers and typically at a price point of $27. Micro offers, however, are a little different.
Usually around $9, micro offers aren’t so much about raking in huge profits. So what are they good for? The beauty in them is that they help cover your ad costs upfront. They provide a safety net for your business, allowing you to scale faster and reach higher levels of success.
So, if you want to learn how to make your ads pay for themselves and achieve the scalability in your business you’re after, this episode is for you!

#189 - Steal my end of year ritual
We’re approaching the end of the year, and I have a specific end-of-year ritual that I’m sharing with you today. You’re more than welcome to steal this very simple ritual, which will not only help you finish the year with a positive mindset, but will help you in the planning phase for the following year.
To really make the most of this process, I recommend finding a comfortable and inspiring space outside of your usual work environment. Whether it's a park, a cozy café, or your favourite corner of your home, choose a place where you can unwind and allow your thoughts to flow freely.
Celebrate Your Wins: Reflecting on all your wins, big and small. Did someone you admire follow you back on Instagram? Did you write an email that you were incredibly proud of? Celebrate every single achievement. Take a moment to acknowledge your progress and savour those victorious moments. You'll be surprised by how much positivity this exercise brings.
Embrace the Lessons: Think about the lessons you've learned throughout the year.. Each one has contributed to your growth and will propel your business forward.
Recognise your Improvements: Appreciate the areas in which you've improved or upleveled your business. Celebrate these significant upgrades, even if they overlap with the lessons you've learned.
Identify Areas for Growth: Consider the aspects of your business or skills that you'd like to improve in the coming year. These goals will guide your future plans and help you achieve greater success.
Set Three Meaningful Goals: Envision three goals—ambitious and exciting—that you want to accomplish in the new year. Choose goals that excite you and feel within reach, while still pushing your limits.
Once you've written everything down, take a deep breath, read over your notes, and make any necessary refinements. Consider this draft as the foundation for your future planning endeavours.

#188 - Which of these marketing mistakes did you make this year?
It’s time to get a little reflective. 2023 is almost over, and we could probably all use a reality check to see how our year went. In particular, to think about which marketing mistakes we made this year. I’ve seen many people - hell, even myself! - fall into some harmful traps when it comes to messaging, creating content and showing up online.
I’m taking you through the biggest marketing mistakes I noticed so that you can ensure you don’t make them again next year:
Trying to Be Like Someone Else: Attempting to emulate someone else's marketing style or personality traits instead of being authentic and finding your unique voice.
Lack of Planning: Failing to create a solid marketing plan, especially in a year of unpredictability, where traditional practices may not work as effectively.
Single-Use Marketing: Spending too much energy on short-lived content like Instagram Stories or TikToks, resulting in wasted resources and a need to constantly create new content.
Marketing for a Pre-Pandemic World: Relying on tactics that worked in previous years without adapting to the changing preferences and behaviours of the post-pandemic audience.
So, have you made any of these big marketing mistakes this year? If so, you are definitely not alone. The good news is, you don’t have to get it right straight away. Refining, testing and experimenting is the best way to uncover what works best for your business. Not only that, you’ll learn how to serve and engage with your audience in the most effective way.

How do you make sure your online course business is built to last? In this episode, we’ll explore the essential elements of building an online empire that stands the test of time. I've had my fair share of ventures, but it was my third attempt that truly made me realise the importance of intentional business building. These experiences taught me the value of creating a business that resonates with your goals, passions and long-term vision.
In this episode, I break down the three critical pillars for a lasting online business:
A Strong Offer Suite: Your offers should be easy to sell, deliver exceptional results, be profitable, and align with your passions.
Effective Sales Systems: Create reliable, repeatable, predictable and ideally, enjoyable sales processes to achieve better planning and scaling.
Robust Marketing Systems: Simplify your marketing approach, make it resilient in the face of life's challenges, ensure predictability, measure success, and aim for self-sustainability.
Building an online course business that endures is all about having a strong foundation in these three pillars. Tune in to learn how to set yourself up for long-term success and navigate the unpredictable moments in business. Remember, it's not just about immediate success but creating something that lasts through changing times.

#186 - 3 ways to predict exactly how successful your business will be
In today’s episode, we're diving into the 3 characteristics for success that I see in clients who have smashed it out of the park and received insane results in their businesses.
So listen up, because I’ve got some strategies to help you think about how you’re showing up, learning and growing in your business. I would put money on the fact that if you learn to foster these values, you're going to see even better results than you thought possible:
#1 - Fast Implementation: Learn to let go of perfectionism and just get started. I believe that everything in business is an experiment, so rather than getting paralysed by the fear, just get it out there. This will give you the chance to iterate and refine until it’s right.
#2 - Genuine Client Care: In the online business world, authenticity and genuine care for your clients can set you apart. When your mission is to create impact and provide exceptional experiences for your clients, it resonates with them and changes the way you market and sell.
#3 - Bouncing Back from Failure: Failure is inevitable in business. And while it hurts, it can be a valuable teacher. Analyse your failures, learn from them and use those lessons to improve. Each setback can be a stepping stone toward future success.
I encourage you to take some time to reflect on how you embody these characteristics in your business. If you find that you're lacking in one or more areas, don't worry. Self-awareness is the first step toward growth and improvement in your business and your life.

Vesna is a successful naturopath and the first person I ever helped set up a funnel. We chat about the power of sales funnels and their undeniable impact on business growth.

Vesna now enjoys the advantages of a well-optimised funnel and its ability to bring consistency in income and scalability to her business. We also explore the importance of continuous optimisation in funnel creation.

#184 - 4 high-converting ideas to end the year with a bang
Have you hit all of your business goals this year? If there are some things you’re still hoping to achieve before the year’s end, I’ve got some high-converting ideas you can implement to see a bump in sales and end the year with a bang.
In this episode, I share four simple strategies that are fast to implement, yet super effective:
Refresh and relaunch one of your online programs. You can re-record a couple of lessons, or perhaps update the workbook fonts or colours for an updated look. This will give you a chance to sneak in one more little promotion for the year.
Create a VIP experience for existing clients. Whether it’s a live workshop or a planning session, you can show your appreciation to your valuable customers and provide added value during the busy holiday season.
Hold an end-of-year or new-year workshop. Consider hosting a live workshop to help your audience either wrap up the year on a high note or kickstart the new one with some energy.
Set up a funnel. This one is a game-changer that I believe every business owner should implement. So why should you set up a funnel? Funnels work tirelessly for you, like a little machine running in the background of your business. They effectively convert leads into customers, bringing in sales while you focus on other tasks in your business.
So, there you have it - four high-converting ideas to help boost your end-of-year sales and set the stage for an amazing 2024. Remember, you don't need to tackle all of them at once. Pick one or two that resonate with you, and take action. Your goals are absolutely within reach, and these strategies are here to help you achieve them.

In today's episode, I'm diving deep into a question that's been top of mind for me lately: How can we tell if we've got the wrong offer or the wrong audience?
If you’ve launched an offer that hasn’t received great results, there’s no need to panic. It happens to many people, and quite a few of my clients have been asking for my guidance on what to do next. Before you consider throwing it all out and starting from scratch, let's take a step back, breathe and explore a few crucial questions.
We'll begin by examining the signs that could indicate your offer isn't quite right for your audience. I'll share insights into how you can align your offer with your audience's preferences and your own values. We'll also explore the red flags that might suggest you've attracted the wrong audience, including low engagement, customer service issues and resistance to sales.
I take you through some actionable steps to correct any underlying issues, such as refining your offer to better suit your audience and running tests to assess a different approach and attract the right audience.
So, tune in to this episode for a practical guide on not only getting yourself unstuck, but moving onwards and upwards in all that you have to offer.

#180 - Steal our totally do-able 90-Day content batching plan
I've got an exciting strategy to spill in this episode – how to batch-create three months' worth of content in just seven hours. Let's be honest, creating marketing content can be a bit of a drag and I’ve often struggled to find a way to make it more fun after creating so much content over the years.
I knew batching my content creation was something I needed to do, but I used to grapple with the planning versus changing plans dilemma. We like our content to align with our marketing events, but life happens and plans shift. Then, a friend dropped a brilliant idea – making content evergreen with "pre-roll ads." This game-changer allowed us to batch content creation efficiently while staying flexible.
I'll walk you through my detailed batching process, from planning to fleshing out and recording. Plus, I'll share the importance of taking breaks during recording to avoid voice strain. And here's the best part – my team takes care of the post-batch workflow, making my time required after I’ve created the content minimal.
If you've ever found content creation draining, my insights offer a fresh approach to reclaim your time and creativity. Tune in if you want to optimise your content creation process and make room for business growth.

The 4 emails you should be sending to your list right now
Email marketing is a powerful tool, but coming up with engaging content can be a challenge.
For the sake of my sanity, I've devised a simple structure that you can use to plan your emails each month. It's a lifeline, especially on those days when creativity seems to have abandoned you.
The template covers four types of emails: Value, Inspiration, Connection, and Aha.
Value Emails: provide practical content that your audience can use immediately. Share your best posts, resources, or tips related to your topic.
Inspiration Emails: feature success stories or testimonials from your clients, inspiring your subscribers.
Connection Emails: build a personal connection with your audience by sharing personal anecdotes or taking them behind the scenes.
Aha Emails: showcase your unique perspective and expertise on a topic, making you stand out.
This structure ensures you consistently provide value, inspiration, and connection to your audience while showcasing your unique perspective.
Use AI tools like chat GPT for content generation when needed, and watch your email marketing efforts soar.

”Front End or Back End? What’s Your Offer Game Plan?”
Hey there everybody, it's Kate here from HelloFunnels, and welcome to the Doing It Online podcast. If you already have an online program that's selling but not as well as you want, and you're ready to scale and increase your profits, then this episode is for you.
I'm going to dive into the concept of front-end offers and back-end offers, and why you need both if you want to grow a successful online education business. A front-end offer is designed to cover the cost of your marketing, while a back-end offer is pure profit. Having both allows you to scale without breaking the bank on ads.
Here's a sneak peek of what we'll cover in this episode:
The difference between front-end offers and back-end offers
Why having only one offer can limit your growth
The challenges of relying solely on paid traffic
How a second offer can unlock new opportunities for your business
Making the right decision for your niche and business goals
I'll also share some pros and cons of running a mini offer upfront and the benefits of having a more premium back-end offer. Plus, I'll provide practical tips on creating solid funnels and maximizing your profits.
So, if you want all the details, make sure you listen in to episode #159 of the Doing It Online podcast now!

Top BS beliefs stopping you from hitting 6-figures
Hey there! It's Kate McKibbin, and on this episode of the Doing It Online podcast, I discuss the top BS beliefs that stop people from hitting 6 figures in their business.
I cover the power of recognizing the stories we tell ourselves, the importance of testing, tweaking, and refining, and how to automate your business to make sales without being physically present.
Here are some key takeaways from this episode:
Our subconscious tries to protect us by telling us certain things are better options, but they may not actually be true.
Testing, tweaking, and refining is the only way to grow. Fast, furious, and imperfect action is how you move forward.
It is possible to make sales without being physically present. You just need to be willing to test and refine your strategies until you find what works.
Automation is a great tool for entrepreneurs and business owners to use in order to increase their success.
Tune in to learn more about how you can overcome these beliefs and achieve success in your business.

3 things to simplify NOW to make more sales this year
The good thing about having been in business for a while?
You start to feel like you know what you’re doing.
The downside?
With every year that goes by, your business gets more complicated.
You know what it’s like. Everyone’s offering X as a lead magnet, so you figure you’ll do something similar. Shiny object syndrome kicks in every so often and your inner magpie has created a bunch of different offers for different audiences. And so on…
By now, you’ve got a bunch of stuff running in the background, much of it held together by sticky tape and even more of it forgotten completely.
We mean have you ever had a sale come through from a program you haven’t launched in three years and thought “Janet, how the hell did you find that!”
If this is ringing all sorts of bells, you’ll love our latest pod where we look at 3 things you can simplify in your business right now to make life easier — and help you increase your sales.

How to QUIT launching (but still sell more!)
Real talk: launching sucks.
(It’s not just you!)
The way most people are taught to launch is a death spiral of doom, and we’re not exaggerating — it’s built on this model that requires you to basically always be in debt to your next launch, and means you’re riding this constant wheel of stress and exhaustion.
There’s a better way though. And that’s what we’re talking about in this episode.
Join us to hear why we decided to quit launching in 2022 — and how you can actually make a lot more $$$ if you join us in trading out live launching for evergreen launching.
And if you have a listen and just have to learn how to do this for yourself, check out eCourse Empire!

Common mistakes people make when adding offers to their business and trying to boost their growth…

Can you over-deliver with your free stuff? (Encore)
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
The answer to the question: can you over-deliver on your free content?
How to add more value to your offers and blow your audience away. (That’s a good thing.)
If you’ve ever been afraid about how much content you can give away for free...then this episode of the Doing It Online podcast is for you.
We’ve been taught for a while now that there’s a super delicate balance we all need to meet… we have to give away just enough content to entice people and show them we know our stuff…
...but not too much that they won’t want to buy with us…
But, is that actually true?
And how do we know how much is too much? Can we actually find that balance? Or is it a mythical quest like finding a unicorn or a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?
Well, I’m giving you the goods in this episode and let me tell you…
If you don’t feel empowered and free after listening...then you listened to the wrong episode.

Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
4 ideas for protecting your launches from the unexpected…
The number 1 MOST important part of “life-proofing” your launches and your biz…
Hey entrepreneur! Do you have your new badge yet? The one that says “YAY! I’m a REAL entrepreneur now because sh*t hit the fan in the middle of a big launch?”
It could be Covid. It could be that your team or family got sick…
And while the old rite of passage for an online entrepreneur used to be: “My webinar crashed and burned so I must be a REAL entrepreneur now!”
This is the new rite of passage.
And let’s face it, it’s not just covid that can show up during a launch, all kinds of things can happen.
Life just shows up.
And it's made it more clear than ever how much it sucks to rely on a launch, AND for a launch to rely on YOU…
Because “life” happening at launch time, can affect your revenue, your community engagement and customer care, in a really big way…
But don’t stress, because in this episode, we dive into a few ideas to help you “life-proof” your launches!

How you can avoid the launch-zillas of the internet and be valued for the strategic, highly-skilled expert you are...
Funnels can be kind of addictive, so we totally get that.

And guess what? Right now, the demand for funnels is growing…
But! There’s this huge gap in the market, of people who can actually step in and build them.
Not just the tech and actually building it, but someone who knows the strategy AND the tech.
Someone who can advise people on the bigger picture, and make that picture happen.
And these people? They’ll be the unicorns of the internet. Or, as we’ve termed them…
...Funnel Pro’s.
So, not only do we chat together over the pro’s + con’s of becoming a Funnel Pro, but I’m also creating a couple of awesome resources and tools for the Funnel-Pro-Curious out there…

As with everything, there’s always trends and things are always changing. And it seems especially in the last few years that the world has been changing rapidly.
So whether you’re creating funnels for yourself, or (more importantly) for others, it’s so critical that you have your finger on the pulse, so you know what is or isn’t working so you and your clients can get the results you’re after.
I’m a big believer that the right funnel, at the right time, done in the right way, is such a powerful life-changing, business-changing tool…
So let’s dive in.

Funnel Pro is our amazing, brand new 12 week Certification Program and the process to create something as high quality as this, with so much incredible baked-in support, wasn’t an easy feat!
And as always, we like to pull back the curtain and walk you through what worked, what didn’t, and how we went about creating a Certification Program…
So, if you’ve thought about creating a certification program or you’re just really curious about what the difference is between an online course and a certification, we’re spilling all the details here.
And if you are looking for someone amazing to come and build your funnels, we have an awesome group of ladies who would absolutely love to help you out! Check out our Funnel Pro directory here.

My 3 fave funnels - which will be best for you? (Encore Episode)
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
My three fave funnels you need in order to create an ecosystem in your business.
The purpose they each serve in your business and how you can know which one is right for you.
We’re talking nerdy, my favourite thing to do!
More specifically, we’re talking funnels. I’m going to geek out with you and share my three favourite funnels. (Yes, there’s more than one.)
Most people think that funnels only serve one purpose — to make more sales. But actually, this isn’t the case. And if you have an online business there are actually three different types of funnels you need. Don’t panic - you don’t have to set them all up at once! But when you do have them all up and running it becomes this incredible ecosystem.
As one grows then the next one grows and it comes around and around again. If you’re a nerd like me, it’s quite a beautiful thing to watch.
So that’s what I’m going to walk you through today. Get ready to get nerdy with me.

Q: Stuck at $100k + can’t scale, help!
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
4 key shifts that need to take place in order to break through to the next level of revenue…
Why having more than one offer might be holding your sales back…
The 3 areas that are a MUST when it comes to systems + automations (to support sales!) in your business…
Last week we talked about why so many people hustle their butts off and never hit 6-figures…
So now let's talk about the next roadblock where we see people get stuck at: The low $100-300K level.
I even got stuck here myself for way too long with a previous business. It’s a weird place to be because you have some success, in fact, you’re probably earning more than you ever have before (although you are keeping very little of it!)…
…But you are definitely not working the laptop life, and it often feels really uncertain and unstable.
Plus you want to grow, but things keep falling flat, right?
You have lots of puzzle pieces... but you don't know how to put the puzzle together.
And that’s what we’re going to give you today. The missing pieces.
But! Before we dive into today's episode I just want to remind you that the doors are OPEN right now for our 6-Figure School!
It’s a 6-day LIVE online workshop, and it’s going to be super fun and crazy valuable.
At the end of it you walk away with a customised (to your business) step-by-step plan on how to get amazing results with your online course over the next 12 months.
And…it’s just $27 dollars.
We blew people's minds last time we ran this workshop, and we still get people sending us all the amazing results they've gotten.
It all kicks off on Jan 31st Aussie time. So click here to grab your tickets today because you do not want to miss out!

One of the biggest mistakes people make when starting their business, (that keeps them stuck!)
Why you can’t let fear boss you around anymore… (and the importance of mastery!)
In today’s episode, I’m going to dive into 3 of the reasons why some people never hit 6 figures…
Now, I’m not here to say that needs to be everyone’s goal — it doesn’t. And I’m definitely not saying that it’s better to earn one amount over another. I’m talking about the people who want their business to grow and reach more people and scale…
But, no matter how much they’re working, and despite all the blood, sweat and tears they're putting into their business…
Their business stays stuck in no man’s land. Which is a stressful and heartbreaking place to be.
But, I’ve got two pieces of exciting news!
Firstly, this is fixable! (Which is what we’re going to dive into today and why I’ve made this episode.)
And secondly, the doors are OPEN right now for our 6-Figure School!
It’s a 6-day LIVE online workshop, and it’s going to be super fun and crazy valuable.

Tripwire VS SLO
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
The breakdown of both the Self-Liquidating Offer and Tripwire: who they’re for, when to use them, their objectives...
The pros and cons of both...
My recommendation for either SLO or Tripwire... (I share my fave option!)
I think it’s time for a good old fashioned smackdown. But the nerdy kind, not the violent kind.
Our opponents: the Self Liquidating Offer and the Tripwire.
See, I’ve had a lot of questions recently about whether I prefer (and would recommend) either a Self-Liquidating Offer (SLO) or a Tripwire…
Now, let’s be clear: they are BOTH a type of ‘Mini-But-Mighty’ offer. (Which is the term we use here at Hello Funnels for this kind of marketing strategy). And at first glance, their objective appears very similar:
To make your marketing pay for itself (so you can invest even more in your marketing and grow faster without the stress!)
But, there are differences...
So! Who are they for? When is the best time to use them? How do you implement them (correctly)?
Let’s break it all down now…
AND! If you want to learn HOW to create BOTH Of these amazing marketing assets for your business in just 5-days?

Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
The BEST funnel for finding your dreamiest clients and bringing them into your world.
The 3 key steps to making that funnel the best it can be (optimising your time, your clients time and automating the process as much as freaking possible!)
The nerdiest, most biz-changing opportunity you do NOT want to miss out on...
This one is for the online service providers, especially if you build funnels for people or do some kind of other nerd-ery.
It’s another ‘Do it With Me!’ Episode, and this time, we’re funnelling together. Let’s go through step by step how to create your own ‘Client Getting Funnel.’ (Also known as a Client Acquisition Funnel,’ but that’s a bit of a boring name, right?)
Basically, this funnel is going to help you bring in the dreamiest of clients, pre-qualify them (and weed out the tyre-kickers and people who aren’t the right fit!) and it’s going to do almost all of that…
...On autopilot.
And the best type of funnel to help us do this? The Application Funnel.
It’s a trickier one to set up as there are a lot of moving parts, but it’s oh, so worth it!
There are 5 steps to this funnel, and today I’ll show you the 3 main ones to help you set up an amazing application funnel.
AND! If you’d love to dive into this further... (maybe even snag yourself one our one-click install templates, email copy prompts, swipe files AND done-for-you opt in bribes ready for you to simply rebrand + use!!)
...Then you are going to want to make sure you hurry up and apply now for our Funnel Pro Certification program.
Inside, you’ll learn how to create each piece and make it convert as highly as possible, and when you come out of the end of our 12 weeks together, not only will you have up-leveled your skills, confidence and your offers, but you'll also have a killer funnel of your own ready to go and start landing you clients.
It's going to be all kinds of nerdy fun, BUT! It’s by application only, AND we only have 25 spots, so head to beafunnelpro.com NOW and apply before they are all snapped up!

Be a Funnel Pro : Part 2 : 3 ways to niche down (to level-up) your VA or OBM business
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
The top 3 options for niching down (and why they work!)
The 3 different categories of tech and tools you need to know about (including which notes to avoid like the plague!)
Why being super clear on who you serve creates an amazing experience for both you and your client.
Here’s part 2 of our special 3 part series on becoming a Funnel Pro! And at its core, being a Funnel Pro is about becoming specialised and niching down to level up your business…
Because we’ve all heard the saying, the riches are in the niches, right?
Basically that means the more specialised you can be… the better your knowledge and skills will become…the more dialled in your systems and offers…the better and faster the results you’ll get… the easier to attract new dream clients…
And then…(drum roll please)…the more you are valued and the more you can charge.
It’s just how it works.
You can try to be “kinda” good at everything, and always charge “kinda good” prices. Or you can get REALLY FREAKING AMAZING at one or two specific things.
And never has this been more true, than when offering services… particularly services as varied as creating funnels.
So how exactly should you (and even could you?) niche down?
Well, grab a cuppa and get comfy, cos in this episode we’re going to look at 3 ways you can niche down to level up your VA or OBM business by using funnels!
ALSO! You’ll probably still have questions, and I'm here to help!
So, I have actually created a brand new, LIVE one-hour Funnel Pro masterclass dedicated completely to how to do this for your business and whichever niche you choose to go for...
I'm going to take you behind the scenes of exactly how we are building some amazingly high converting funnels with our clients, as well as our exclusive funnel planning and building system, AND we'll also walk you through the funnels YOU NEED in your own business if you are going to be a Funnel Pro!

Could you 10x your business by BUILDING funnels (and how do you do it)?
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
How you can elevate your business with funnel-building. (We’re talking 10X, not just a $5 pay rise.)
How you can avoid the launch-zillas of the internet and be valued for the strategic, highly-skilled expert you are...
Funnels can be kind of addictive, so we totally get that.
But lately, I’ve noticed a trend in questions coming my way. Because I’ve been hearing from a lot of people who’ve loved building their own funnels with us and are thinking of adding funnel-building to their services.
And guess what? Right now, the demand for funnels is growing…
But! There’s this huge gap in the market, of people who can actually step in and build them.
Not just the tech and actually building it, but someone who knows the strategy AND the tech.
Someone who can advise people on the bigger picture, and make that picture happen.
And these people? They’ll be the unicorns of the internet. Or, as we’ve termed them…
...Funnel Pro’s.
So, not only do we chat together over the pro’s + con’s of becoming a Funnel Pro, but I’m also creating a couple of awesome resources and tools for the Funnel-Pro-Curious out there…

Do you have your ticket yet? If not, you need to get onto that, you don’t have long to jump in!
Now, let me ask you, does the idea of promoting yourself feel a bit gross and uncomfortable?
Is that because when you think of marketing, you picture a salesman with a briefcase at the front door with slick hair, a power suit + some super pushy skills?
That’s not what we think of when we think of marketing.
Around here, it’s warm, it’s connected, it’s real and above all, it’s about VALUE EXCHANGE.
And we pair all of that with some kick-ass strategy, a “hells-yeah” offer (+ a week hanging out with ME!) you’ve got yourself a winning marketing campaign.
One that makes you feel good inside.
Come join The 6-Figure School Workshop and grab your own rock-solid, (sleaze-free), confidence-giving, (+ PROVEN!) 6-figure sales + marketing plan for your online course.
The doors are closing soon though so go grab your ticket...nnnnow!
And once you’ve done that, come dive into the episode where I’m handing you out a big serve of tough love. (More love than tough.)
But you’ll thank me later, because when you smash through these 3 things? You’ll be able to take your business further, and get the results you’ve been after now for too long. Time to make them yours.

Do it with me : let's plan out your launch emails!
‘Doing it Online’... and now?
You’re doing it with me.
Cos in this episode, we’re going to write your launch emails together! Yay! High-fives. Because you know and I know that if you run an online business?
There’s no escaping the launch emails. (Unless you want to rely solely on ads to a cold audience? I’m guessing not.)
But what should you send? What should you say?
Sure, flying by the seat of your pants can work. (I did it for years)
But there are things you need to cover and hit well in a launch sequence. And because nerdy is my way of life, I’ve turned it into a formula...
And yes, you can tweak it and perfect it for your own audience, but this will at least take away some of the unnecessary thinking and decision making so you can focus on the other fun stuff.
So grab something to take notes with (you’ll need it) and let’s make launching emails our bish.
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
My recommendations for a launching email sequence - what to send and when.
The two types of buyers you need to make sure you’re writing to.
Ways to modify this sequence to speak to your specific audience.

Do you need to offer money-back guarantees (and what should they be?)
This week I answered the question: Do you need to offer money-back guarantees? And if yes, what should they be?
There are definitely two sides to this, and I have to say I can understand both perspectives.
But! Every business is different and even if you DO refund on a digital product...how does that even work? It’s not like they can just give back all the knowledge they just got from you…?
It’s a tricky one!
I’ll chat it all through and share our personal policy, in this week’s episode of the Doing It Online Podcast.
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
When you should never EVER use a money-back guarantee
My suggestions for when it’s a good idea to offer guarantees.
Plus, how to protect yourself (+ your IP) when you do offer them.

6 Figure team vs 7-figure team
One of the most important things when it comes to growing your business?
Your team.
In the last couple of years I’ve had to really focus on building the right team…
(I used to be pre-ttyyy stubborn about that idea. A few years ago I was determined I didn’t want a big team + didn’t understand how much of a biz-changer (+ life-changer) it could be to hire the right people, at the right time...
And so in episode 52 of the Doing It Online Podcast, I’m giving you a bit of a behind the scenes look at the 6-Figure team vs 7-Figure team. Obviously not in terms of comparing the *people* but the hired roles and what that’s meant for our business.
So, if you’re thinking about adding to your team + not sure what roles to hire or what you need to help you scale, give ep 52 a listen now!
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
Which roles I hired first in my biz + why
What the main differences have been from a team that got the business to 6-figures, to the team that’s taken us to 7… (who knows where we can go from here!)
The number one role I recommend starting with outsourcing first… (totally doable.)

Biggest lessons from 12-months of $27 offers
A few episodes ago (in episode 44) I mentioned that one of the biggest changes that got us over the 7-figure mark was adding something we call a ‘Mini-But-Mighty’ funnel…
And now that we’ve been running that funnel for over 12 months, I wanted to do a breakdown of what that “little” funnel has meant for our business and some of the biggest lessons we’ve learned in that time. (And, of course, give you all the behind-the-scenes numbers!)

Can you over-deliver with your free stuff?
If you’ve ever been afraid about how much content you can give away for free...then this episode of the Doing It Online podcast is for you.
We’ve been taught for a while now that there’s a super delicate balance we all need to meet… we have to give away just enough content to entice people and show them we know our stuff…
...but not too much that they won’t want to buy with us…
But, is that actually true?
And how do we know how much is too much? Can we actually find that balance? Or is it a mythical quest like finding a unicorn or a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?
Well, I’m giving you the goods in this episode and let me tell you…
If you don’t feel empowered and free after listening...then you listened to the wrong episode.
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:

3 changes I made to grow from 0 to 7 figures in sales in under 3 years
So, it’s almost embarrassing to say this — (Oh, HAI imposter syndrome and money blocks!) — but here goes…
Last year my business, Hello Funnels, did something we’ve never done before. We made over 1 million dollars in sales... (not revenue as we have lots of payment plans, but in sales.)
Yuh.
Aaand! This is after basically starting all over from scratch 2 and a half years ago...plus COVID...AND adding a baby into the mix.
Double yuh.
Many of you know this is my third business...and a friend of mine asked me the other night (over a wine or two) what did I do differently this time?
And the answer to that (there are 3 specific changes I made) is what I want to share with you guys today… They’re not hard or vague or unreachable as you might think.
I reckon you’ll find it helpful to hear how doable these changes are.
Listen in to find out for yourself.

How to price your offers so the sell easily (and make profit too!)
We just kicked off our 6-figure school workshop this week and our training yesterday was all about nailing the pricing. So! In this week’s episode of The Doing It Online Podcast, I wanted to share it with you too.
Your offers need to be something you can sell with ease, but also it MUST be profitable. And if they’re not both of those things, you’re going to run into a bunch of problems...
Things you’ll learn in this episode of Doing It Online
The 5 factors that contribute to pricing your offers for profitability + selling with ease
PLUS! There’s an extra 6 months of support up for grabs!
I know a lot of the conversation around making money at the moment is about mindset and standing in your power, releasing money blocks etc… And do I believe in all that? Absolutely.
But! It’s not the whole story.
There is so much strategy and so many steps that will help you craft a price for your offer. And you definitely don’t want to be pricing your offers at $2000 just because “Everyone is doing that.” No.
We need strategic pricing.
So how do we go about that?
Well! There’s 5 things that need to be factored in when you’re choosing your pricing, and where all 5 overlap? That’s the sweet spot we want.
Have a listen to episode 42 now + find that sweet spot for YOUR business!

Do you upsell?
As someone who has been helping people to create, automate and scale their online courses for many, many years, you better believe I’ve racked up a few special party tricks over that time.
OK, so it’s not so much “tricks” but more like tried, true + specific strategies (not as catchy) that I just love to whip out and wow my clients with. And so, I wanted to share one of my faves with you today…
...The upsell.
The reason this “trick” is so good? It’s super simple to implement, it works really well AND it costs absolutely nothing.
So! Together in this episode let’s nerd out about all things upsell — what they are, why I recommend everyone has at LEAST one and how you can quickly add them and increase your profit today.
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
My 3 fave upsells: the ‘order bump,’ ‘course to maintenance,’ and ‘step one to step two.’
How to implement each of them PLUS…
...Any extra tools you might need tech-wise if you’re adding upsells for the first time. (It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t talk software would it…)
BONUS: If you want more help around pricing, packaging and creating amazing offers that sell easily (and that you feel AMAZING about selling) then that’s EXACTLY what DAY 2 of our epic, new 6-Day LIVE workshop is all about.
It’s called The 6-Figure School and it all kicks off on April 12. (Aussie time.) I’ll walk you through a 6-day intensive and hands on experience to show you exactly what you need to do to market + sell your own 6-figure + online course in 2021.

Ultimate beginners guide to list building
As much as I love nerding out on the more advanced stuff, the thing is, you don’t get to enjoy that kind of advanced nerdiness unless you’ve got some of the basics in place.
And in this week’s episode of The Doing it Online Podcast, we take things back to the start and zone in on everything ‘list building.’
A lot of people that jump into our eCourse Empire program are right at the start of their journey, so, I’ve put together a bunch of questions I get asked on repeat. But essentially, it all comes down to one question:
‘How do I grow my list?’
So, think of this as an Ultimate Guide — Q + A style.
If you’re in the beginning phase or the re-starting phase or the “oh shit, I really should get around to that whole list-building caper” phase, this is for you…
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
What open rate you want to be aiming for + how to improve it
The difference between a quantity vs quality methods for growing your list + when to use them
Plus, my fave tools for list building
(And MORE - this episode covers a lot of ground.)

My 3 fave funnels (which will be best for you?)
Episode 37 and we’re talking nerdy. My favourite thing to do.
More specifically, we’re talking funnels. I’m going to geek out with you and share my three favourite funnels. (Yes, there’s more than one.)
Most people think that funnels only serve one purpose — to make more sales. But actually, this isn’t the case. And if you have an online business there are actually three different types of funnels you need. Don’t panic - you don’t have to set them all up at once! But when you do have them all up and running it becomes this incredible ecosystem.
As one grows then the next one grows and it comes around and around again. If you’re a nerd like me, it’s quite a beautiful thing to watch.
So that’s what I’m going to walk you through today. Get ready to get nerdy with me.
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
My three fave funnels you need in order to create an ecosystem in your business.
The purpose they each serve in your business and how you can know which one is right for you.

3 of the best investments you can make in your business
I’ve said it before and it’s still true — sometimes we try to DIY things or sticky-tape things together because it’s “free” or cheaper, but it can end up costing us far more than dollars.
The tech or systems we’re working with can end up feeling like they’re working against us and life is just too short to be stuck on support chat for hours trying to get your business back up and running again.
These 3 investments I’m about to share with you can be a game changer.
None of them are huge investments of either time or money, but when you make the choice to put your resources into the RIGHT areas, they can make a HUGE difference in your business.
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:

Can you audit my funnel for me?
Judging by all the DM’s, emails and hollers from the street, it would suggest that a lot of you are all wondering the same thing:
Can I audit your funnel?
Errrybody is asking me this lately and so I wanted to devote an entire podcast episode just to this question.
BUMMER OF ANSWER ALERT: In short, no. I don’t audit funnels. I know, booooo, hissss. BUT! The good news? If you build it correctly the first time? It won’t need auditing or fixing. At all. Because the way I build funnels and the way I teach through my programs means that the auditing is built right in.
99% of the time a funnel audit’s going to be a waste of time and money. It’s actually almost impossible to fix a broken funnel. Trawling your way backwards is just not how it works. Good funnels have to be created that way from the start.
So how do you do that? Well, it all comes back to my motto (and my nanna-style advice as applied to funnels...)
You must test before you invest.
It’s about mastering the basics and not skipping ahead. (I did warn you it was nanna’s advice.)
Fear not, though! I walk you through that testing process in this ep, so grab a pen and paper and listen in…
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
The 4 pieces you need to test to build your funnel *correctly* from the start.
The 2 most common reasons I see funnels not working.
The weirdest place I’ve ever made a sale and why it makes it ALLLL worth it.

My favourite tech stack + what I recommend for beginners
In this week’s episode, we’re talking tech stacks — what they are and why you need one. Like, a proper one. None of this DIY ‘sticky-taped’ together and hope it works tech attempts. I’m getting my boss hat on and telling you why you MUST invest in your tech in order to help your business grow.
The good news? You only need 3 pieces of tech to get your online business up and running. Don’t worry, I’ll share with you what those 3 things are AND my recommendations for the best tools to invest in.
And, spoiler alert: your small investment in the right pieces of technology will pay you back 10 times over (or more). Plus, it’s going to make your life easier, help your business run smoothly, improve client experience and ultimately allow you to have more time to do the work you should be doing.
So, repeat after me: “I say no to DIY tech.”
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
How much we spent on our tech last year. (It’s a big, shiny number.)
Exactly what we’re using for our current tech stack (& why.)
The only 3 pieces of tech you need to get started with a profitable online business. (PLUS: I recommend beginner friendly, budget friendly options to get you started right.)

Let me paint you a picture…
You’ve heard people talking all about online courses…
You’re working 1:1 but your time is maxed out…
So you finally decide to go for it - to take the jump, do the scary thing and create your first online course.
You pull it all together and it’s ready to go so you send some emails to your list and you talk about it on social media.
You’re SO excited about this new thing that you’ve created AND even more so when you get some sales (go you!).
You’ve launched it once so in a few months you decide it’s time to launch your course again - very similar to how you ran it the first time...
But this time you make less sales.
This is what I call the Curse of the Second Launch.
Now before you hit the panic button and throw your course in the bin - I want you to know this is perfectly normal!
That’s why in today’s episode I’ll be sharing more on the Curse of the Second launch - why it happens and how you can avoid (or recover from) it.

BTS of my first ever course launch (+ what I wish I knew back then!)
In the last 6 years...I’ve created and launched over 12 different courses and online programs.
YES! 12!
So in today’s episode, I want to share a behind the scenes of what my first ever course launch looked like.
Because I know that it’s helpful to lift the curtain and see where people started...not just where they are right now (many launches in).
This episode was prompted by a Facebook Memory of my very first website design. To see where my website started and where it is now, just shows how things can change when you take imperfect action. The same goes for launching online programs.
So if you still haven’t taken the leap to create and launch your first online course or program.
Let me take you through my very first course launch where you’ll see it was very imperfect too.
But the most important thing is that it happened! And I started...which has led me to launch twelve times and arrive at the business I have today.
So together let’s start that walk down memory lane of my very first online course launch…
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
Behind the scenes of my first ever online course and how I brought it to life
The biggest wins from my first ever launch
The lessons I’ve learned after creating and launching over 12 different online courses and programs

My biggest lessons from my first year of business PLUS baby!
The past 12 months have been a rollercoaster! It marked my first year of being a working mum and then throwing COVID into the mix.
Despite ALL of that.
I actually had one of my best years in business EVER - financially, client results wise, and just my own personal enjoyment of the business.
So today I’m sharing a sneak peak into behind the scenes (the stats, the figures, the nitty gritty) of what happened to my business after I had a baby! My biggest lessons from my first year of business PLUS baby.
I count myself lucky every single day that I was able to set up my business how I did before I had my baby, because it meant I didn’t miss out on a single second of his first year, I got to be here and present, AND still grow my business AND still help create amazing results for my clients.
And I can’t wait to share it with you...

5 Secrets to 5 figure months - When to Hustle + When To HIRE! (4/5)
Right now, if Google is your go to business guru, and you don't feel like you are ever making progress in your business...because you’re barely keeping up with the day to day...
Then it sounds like you need some help, and you need it fast. This means outsourcing the years and years of figuring it out the hard way (by finding a coach), or outsourcing those day to day tasks that you know you don't need to be doing (by hiring a team)
But don’t wait until the perfect time (it doesn’t exist)...just know it only gets worse the longer you leave it...and I see people leave it far too long before they call in some help!
Knowing when to hustle and when to hire is something you need to know to reach 5-figure months and beyond.
The story behind how I scaled my first business (way back in 2007)...and how I did the same thing in my third business (just last year)...but about 5 years faster...highlights this perfectly.
And from someone who hustled for almost 6 years... let me just say, saving this little bit of time here by doing it yourself, is wasting you years of your time...and stopping you from reaching those 5-figure months you’re chasing.
Check out Episode 7 and then get hiring!
Things You’ll Learn in this Episode of Doing it Online:
Why you need to know when to hustle and when to hire
How to know when you’re ready to get help - and what type of help you’re going to need

5 Secrets to 5 figure months - Follow The Right Launch Plan (2/5)
When you’re trying to crack those 5 figure months, a common mistake you can make is NOT matching your promotions and launching schedule to where you are RIGHT NOW in business.
Not where you want to be WHEN you have a massive audience, a 5 to 6-figure ads budget and a team supporting you to bring the pieces together.
Trying to emulate the big people in your industry who are doing those big amazing launches...when your business is not at that point (yet) or doesn’t have the capacity to make it profitable, successful and achievable - is setting yourself up to be disappointed (and exhausted as heck - been there done that and seen it all!)
So let me suggest an alternate launching plan ok?

Welcome to our 5 part series where I’ll be sharing 5 secrets to get you hitting those much sought after 5 figure months.
Secret #1 Having a profitable offer
One of the biggest momentum killers out there...and the reason so many people get stuck and stay stuck...
Is that they don't have a profitable offer...or as I like to call it, a funnel friendly offer (because you KNOW I’m all about being able to sell your courses on autopilot).
And even if you’re a launcher (one of those crazy people), you still need a profitable offer.
