  • Ask Steph: Is it okay to repeat content topics or do you always need to come up with fresh ones?
    Today I'm answering a question from a listener who's wondering if it's okay to repeat content topics on her podcast or whether each episode needs to be fresh and new. I'm a big believer in repeating content topics, perhaps with a slightly different spin and in this episode, I'm sharing my views on why this is beneficial to your audience - and your business.

    - How to ensure your audience won't get bored when you repeat the same content
    - Why repetition is actually a good thing and can help your audience
    - Capitalising on your own growth and understanding of concepts over time
    - Why it's totally okay to rebroadcast and provide a 'best of' episode or series
    - How taking a more specific approach or a higher level view of the same content can create offshoot topics that resonate

  • Coaching Call: How can I structure my launch timeline to include a lower ticket offer leading into my higher ticket one?
    Today I am coaching Joanna Nakaki who is a dietician and nutritionist. Currently, she runs a 6-week digital course and is considering launching a paid challenge prior to her free webinar. However, she is struggling to understand how the timeline would work in introducing this new offer pre-webinar. Today we chat about strategies to run a pre-webinar challenge that converts.

    In this episode we chat about:
    - How to formulate the ideal pre-webinar lower ticket offer that bridges the Magician's Gap and builds momentum in your audience
    - Why offering a low ticket "taste test" isn't the best way to sell your high ticket course and what to do instead
    - The importance of showing up daily to build and nurture your community whilst working to bridge the gap between the knowing and the doing
    - Why adding an early bird call to action can be a valuable step to achieving course conversions
