How do you create an online course that sells right now?The truth is that times have changed, and what worked even just a few years ago no longer does. The online course market is maturing, and with the growth many are starting to wonder:"Are people still buying online courses?"Here's my two cents: Yes they absolutely are, but it’s uneven at the moment.Some people are killing it and some are finding it tough. If you're wondering how you can create an online course that sells right now, here are seven things to keep in mind. 1. Cultivate Trust and Authority2. Contracts Create Friction3. Creating an Online Course That Sells Requires Transparency4. New Offers Require Time in the Market5. Positioning is Everything6. Risk Reversal is Extra Helpful7. Trust and an Irresistible Offer Are King and Queen Right NowWant more?📫 Subscribe to the Newsletter: For Expertise-Based Founders ready to engineer a lifestyle business that passes the Monday Morning test with flying colours.

In the past two years, I have gone from three full time team members.. To me, one part time contractor. The result of scaling DOWN my team? My business went from 40% profit margins on a good month.. To 80%, always. I halved my revenue.. But took home WAY more profit. And I felt lighter, happier and more fulfilled than I had in years, with my days spent working on the things that truly light me up. Two years on, things looked so very different.. It feels like a dream. The no-team dream. Systems Over TeamSo, what changed? And specifically, what ENABLED me to re-build my business A One-Woman Show Working 5-Hour Days With 80% Profit Margins?Here’s the cliff notes: From a business model perspective, I moved to a model that felt far more aligned. It required fewer moving parts, fewer offers and fewer resources. And I started prioritising systems over team. It looks like this: ✔️ A Simple Model: One of the most overlooked “secrets” to an elegant business is simplicity. More offers, more work. I worked on refining my business model and offer suite to be simple.✔️ Increased Leverage: I built offers that leverage my time by packaging my Intellectual Property into scalable offers that were divorced from my time (and didn’t require big team to run).✔️ And Systems BEFORE Team: Rather than hiring FIRST, I worked to systemise as much of my business as possible, so that my time is now leveraged by processes, automations and tools instead of another set of hands. Together, those three things, once achieved, are a little thing called Operational Elegance –  and it has changed my (business) life. Operations doesn’t sound sexy. But truly, it is the thing that has set me free. I want other people to experience it, and it’s why I have dedicated my entire business mission since 2022 to help others achieve the same. If you resonate with this mission?  Lifestyle Business School is for you. Want more?📫 Subscribe to the Lifestyle Business School Newsletter: This is BRAND NEW!

Welp, it's that time of year again. End of financial year has just wrapped (in Australia), and it's time to reflect on the financial "year that was". From a financial perspective, it was our best in business yet. That wasn't the surprising bit, though. THAT came when I looked at the breakdown of my revenue streams... and realised that there was one very unexpected one that accounted for a good chunk of revenue. So much, in fact, that it represented MORE than my entire corporate salary in my very first marketing job. And, even more surprisingly? It was about 95% passive... which is a lot more than I can say for the rest of the online business industry (despite the cries to the contrary all over the Internet). Curious to know what it was? It's all in today's podcast episode. PS If you have ever gotten value from our podcast, I would be so grateful if you could take a moment to leave a quick rating and written review. It takes two minutes, and would make my day. When You're Ready, Here's How We Can Help You:1. Ready to launch your Wildly Successful Podcast in just 6 weeks?

Want to DIY your Facebook Ads but have NFI where on earth to start? If so, you’re not alone. Facebook Ads have always been a powerful way for small businesses and solopreneurs to get in front of their dream clients, but - for many - they have always been a little bit of a dark art. When you are trying to run a business, it’s often always just one ‘to do’ at the end of a very long business to do list. The thought of going beyond the boost button and deep diving into all things Facebook Ads Manager to set up your own Facebook Ads is a daunting thought.Full show notes for all episodes can be found at https://thecoursecartel.com/podcast/--------When You're Ready, Here's How We Can Help You:1.

In this podcast episode, we cover how to use both Facebook Live and Instagram Stories for Business with Business Marketing Coach Emily Spicer Stuart.As a business coach working so closely with her clients, it’s super important that her potential clients feel like she is someone that they can connect with.This is something that is true for most service-based businesses; the biggest barriers to someone working with you are showing that you are someone that knows what they are doing, and also that you are someone that they like and can relate to.Emily overcomes both of these objections with a (very!) strong social media marketing game that focuses specifically on Instagram Stories and Facebook Live.Links + ResourcesYou can find Emily at www.emilyspicerstuart.com, on Instagram and Facebook.

If you’ve been following along on my Instagram, you’ll know that I’ve just spent two months in paradise aka Bali. In between sunset drinks, margaritas every day and spending weekends at beach clubs - yes, that’s the truth, and yes, I REALLY REALLY now need to stop drinking cocktails, get healthy and get back into a routine - I had quite a lot of time to think.After having far too much time to think and spending far too much time eating my breakfasts, lunches and dinners in full - and empty - restaurants and cafes from Seminyak to Canggu, I decided to put together a podcast episode on some of the things that the FULL ones are doing well.Because, frankly? They are nailing it, and the reason that they are doing so really comes back to understanding and leveraging some very basic - but often overlooked social media and marketing concepts.So, let’s get back to basics and go through five things that I have seen Bali restaurants, bars and cafes really get right - with examples that you can apply within your OWN business!Full show notes for all episodes can be found at https://thecoursecartel.com/podcast/--------When You're Ready, Here's How We Can Help You:1.

There are a few strategies that I think have the ability to completely supercharge your social media, marketing and entire business. One of those is, without a doubt, social media and content marketing collaborations.Within 6 months of starting to do this, I was able to quit my full-time job and start my business with a fully booked roster of clients.I have never 'pitched' for work in the traditional sense since.So yeah, collaborations work and I'm pretty damn passionate about them.Chatting about all things collaboration marketing on the podcast, then, was a complete no brainer.And when I decided that I wanted to that, Jess Ruhfus was the obvious choice of person to chat to.As the Head Cheese and Founder at Collabosauras, Jess is the queen of collaboration marketing.Links + ResourcesTo check out Collabosauras, head to https://collabosaurus.com/Full show notes for all episodes can be found at https://thecoursecartel.com/podcast/--------When You're Ready, Here's How We Can Help You:1.

In this episode, we are diving into the basics of SEO for small businesses with special guest Karlie Plowman from Technobird.If you're a small business that's guilty of sticking your head in the sand when it comes to all things SEO and putting it in the too hard basket, I feel ya. I used to be there myself.It was, quite frankly, all a little bit overwhelming and so I stuck to posting on social and, when it came to digital marketing, leaving it at that.Now?It's a different story.Organic Google search is hands down my biggest traffic source, I derive a couple of leads a day from it, and that's a number which is growing every single day. I LOVE SEO.And all of this came about by making a conscious effort to put a little time into learning the rope. Now, I'm no guru - that's Karlie - but I have strung enough knowledge together to get me some tangible results and now I just want to know more!So, this podcast is kinda selfish.

Ever sat at home on a Friday night, content with your life and your 9 – 5 but with a niggling feeling in the back of your mind wondering - is this all there is?Or wondered where all of the hopes and goals you *used* to have have gone, buried under bills and debts and obligations?

Whether you’ve heard of ‘personal brand’ or not, the truth is that you already have one.Personal brand simply means your reputation.How you are perceived in the eyes of others.What people think and say about you when you’re not around.And in 2018 it’s not just what people are saying about you when you’re not in the room that matters. It’s what people are saying about you online. Or in some cases, what they’re NOT saying.Full show notes for all episodes can be found at https://thecoursecartel.com/podcast/--------When You're Ready, Here's How We Can Help You:1.

One thing I’m really super passionate about is that we are all, as small business owners, in this together.Whether we’re all working in digital marketing, or copywriting, or real estate, or whatever, I truly believe that it’s by supporting each other that we succeed.NOT by competing.Not by looking over the fence and comparing.And certainly not by tearing others down.I call it good karma business, that's what we'll be chatting about in this episode.Full show notes for all episodes can be found at https://thecoursecartel.com/podcast/--------When You're Ready, Here's How We Can Help You:1.

Media and traditional advertising has always given businesses the opportunity to distribute a message to an audience. Social media ain’t traditional media, though. And treating it as such by *just* pushing out content, ads and talking about yourself is one of the BIGGEST mistakes a business can make.Why?Well, it’s called SOCIAL media for a reason.Its real power lies in the opportunity it gives your business to connect DIRECTLY with your potential clients. Once you know who your ideal client is, social media allows you to find where they’re hanging out online, to connect with them and to have REAL, two way conversations with them.Over time, that allows you to develop a relationship with them and – if you provide them with value – for them to like, know and trust you enough to want to do business with you.With that said, in this episode, I am giving you three top tips for putting the ‘social’ into your social media efforts.Full show notes for all episodes can be found at https://thecoursecartel.com/podcast/--------When You're Ready, Here's How We Can Help You:1.

Social media marketing represents an enormous opportunity for real estate agents wanting to build their personal brand and market their listings online.Unfortunately, a 2015 study by Hubspot shows that although real estate agents posted more on social media than any other industry, the engagement that they received on those posts was the lowest.Not a great result.It means that there is enormous scope and opportunity to stand out if you are a real estate agent that knows how to leverage social media in the right away - by helping, adding value and providing interesting, relevant information that your target audience welcomes - rather than simply promoting listings and sales.In this episode, I interview Sherrie Storor, one of Brisbane's leading real estate agents and now also a real estate coach teaching others in the industry how to build their best lives.This episode will especially helpful not just to real estate agents, but to anyone working in a service-based industry.Full show notes for all episodes can be found at https://thecoursecartel.com/podcast/--------When You're Ready, Here's How We Can Help You:1.

Are you a victim of the Instagram follow unfollow garbage that's going on at the moment?If you’re active on Insta, I’m gonna guess you are.Here’s how it usually goes:You put up a new post after dinner one night, and you’re pretty damn proud of it.You add some hashtags so that it gets seen by more people (and because some social media person told you that's what you’re supposed to do).The likes and engagements start rolling’ ‘awn in [*but not as much as they USED to, because - algorithm - but anyway],* and you even gain a few new followers - yasssss!!!!!All in all, you’re chuffed.You pat yourself on the back, wash your face and jump into bed feeling like a #SocialMediaQueen (or King!).[8 hours pass].When your alarm goes off the next morning, you rub the sleep out of your eye, reach for your phone and click open the Insta app to check the post.AND…. [insert dramatic, foreboding music]...YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT.You’ve gained SIX NEW FOLLOWERS BUT YOUR OVERALL INSTAGRAM FOLLOWER COUNT HAS DROPPED BY 7.

Okay guys, I’m just gonna come out and say it. Your - OUR - love of Instagram is getting a little obsessive, and quite frankly?It’s making me NERVOUS.I get it, because I love that gorgeous little visual-eye-candy babe of a platform too.It’s so pretty, and social, and there’s still good organic (see also: FREE) engagement.When you post a pic, people LIKE it and it makes you feel all fuzzy inside.And for that reason, it’s worlds apart from your barren engagement desert of a Facebook business page which is REALLY just no fun at all.

Let's get one thing straight.Crossing your fingers and hoping for the best isn't a social media strategy.I see TOO many businesses dive in, set up their socials, start posting like crazy and then STRUGGLE. Struggle to gain followers. Struggle with the follow/unfollow rubbish currently going on on Instagram. Struggle to get their posts seen. Struggle with what to post.So, rather than talking all social media strategy theory and watching your eyes glaze over, I thought I’d use the journey to launch Stevie Says Social (my own company) as a case study.Full show notes for all episodes can be found at https://thecoursecartel.com/podcast/--------When You're Ready, Here's How We Can Help You:1.
