Are you struggling to grow your email list and generate revenue for your business because you don't have the budget for expensive ads? Well, what if I told you that you can achieve the same results without spending a single penny on ads? I know it's possible because I did just that in 2021 - I grew my email list from 0 to 100 subscribers and generated $75,000  in revenue by using a strategy that doesn't rely on ads.

In today's episode of the Life Coach Business Building podcast, we are going to continue our mini-series on marketing for life coaches. In the last few episodes, we've talked about finding your niche, perfecting your message, getting to know your audience, and making email opt-ins that work. This week, I'm excited to share with you what I've learned from my own experience about what techniques have worked and what haven't when it comes to building my own email list. I'll also give you important information about the key parts of an opt-in that really brings results.

I’m sharing the details of how creating an organic email list will be your most crucial marketing strategy. In six months, without spending any money on advertisements, I grew a list one email address at a time. That involved me meeting someone, asking them to sign up for something I posted on social media,  or to take me up on an offer for free coaching, and asking them to get on my schedule so I could acquire their email address. My first 100 email subscribers and the coaches I developed in 2021 helped me earn $75,000 naturally. And that is what I want you to do as well.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to take your email list to the next level! Tune in to this episode and gain valuable insights that you can implement right away to start growing your list and generating more revenue for your business!

Are you ready to grow your email list? Yes! Marketing is the ATM to your business, and when you have an email list, you can interact with potential customers who want to spend money on your services.

In today's episode of the Life Coach Business Building podcast, I'm diving into the fourth part of the marketing for life coach series. I'll be talking about email opt-ins. If you have yet to listen to the previous episodes, go back and listen to them because I've covered various topics, including narrowing your niche, crafting your marketing message, and learning how to talk to people.

Now, for the fourth part of the series, I'm going back to the most reliable medium for building and maintaining relationships with your customers: emails. According to research, studies show that even younger consumers prefer to make buying decisions through emails because they would rather make an independent decision instead of being sold in a face-to-face conversation.

That being said, it's safe to say that email marketing IS still the way of the world. Think of email marketing as an introvert's best communication avenue. When you have an email list, you can communicate directly with potential clients. You can wake up on any day, create an offer, then email your list, and bingo; people could buy from you!

I hope I have your attention.

Email marketing makes you money. If you're curious about email opt-ins, what you could create, how you're going to create them, and how you'll deliver your freebie, then be sure to listen to the full episode because I'll be sharing all the details!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the thought of having to confidently share your message to people? 

In today's episode of the Life Coach Business Building podcast, I will be talking about the importance of talking to people and telling them about your coaching business. In the first two parts of this marketing series, we discussed how to understand your niche, identify their problems, and create a marketing message. Now, in the third part of the series, we will be talking about how you can communicate your marketing message and talk to people about it with ease.

Talking to people can be one of the most intimidating things to do, especially when it comes to business. You have to be confident in your message and be able to get your point across in an effective way. But, when it comes to building a business, it takes more than just talking. You need the guts and determination to get it off the ground.

In this episode, I will be answering questions like what you're going to say, who you're going to talk to, and where you can find people who might need your coaching. We are also going to talk about the ways on how you can practice and build your confidence until you are convinced that what you're saying is actually good and impactful.

If talking to people is the missing piece to your life coach business's marketing strategy, then be sure to tune in because I will be sharing all the details!

Do you have ongoing doubts about your niche?  Does this uncertainty leave you stalled out in your business?

In today’s episode of the Life Coach Business Building Podcast, I’m speaking with Erin Thompson, a Performance and Confidence Coach for Senior Living Leaders. We discuss how Erin determined her most viable and profitable niche. We talk about her love for “my people with the gray hair” and her desire to support Senior Living Leaders.

Through coaching, exploration, and a mindset shift, Erin began to feel more confident about her coaching. She now knows she can make a difference in both fields, inspiring her to take her business to the next level.

As we work to grow our coaching businesses, it can be tempting to try and be everything to everybody, but when it comes down to it, it's important to narrow your focus. When you hone in on a specific area and become an expert in that field, you will be able to provide higher-quality services and gain more clients.

So if you’re ready to make your business stand out and increase your profitability, then be sure to tune in and learn from Erin Thompson's journey!

In my 24 years of business consulting and coaching, I can truly say that mastering your marketing message is probably the most important thing you can do for your business. It’s the foundation of all of your marketing which is how people connect with you.

In today’s episode of the Life Coach Business Building Podcast, I’m talking about the second “pre-marketing” activity that will help you sell your coaching. In the previous episode, I discussed the importance of narrowing and understanding your niche. This week, we are focusing on mastering your marketing message so you can better communicate who you help and why they should hire you.

Clients buy when you have explained their problem better than they can and when you show them why they need and want the transformation you offer with your coaching. I’ll walk you through my 6 steps to help you craft the perfect message, one that is clear and concise.

Mastering your marketing message is critical for your business's success. When people connect with your message, they engage with you; when they don’t, they scroll right past you. 

So, if you want to know how to get better results with your marketing, be sure to tune in to the episode.

As a business growth coach for coaches, I’m always looking for ways to help my clients expand their business.  That’s what the Design, Live, Thrive Summit was all about.  The results for my clients were fantastic and the attendees have given incredible feedback on how impactful the speakers were.

In today’s episode of the Life Coach Business Building Podcast, I’ll give you the run down of what it took to organize this first time event. A 2-day Summit with 16 speakers was a big undertaking and I worked with my team to execute it in just 3 months.

Listen as I share more about everything I did, from coming up with the perfect Summit name, to making sure that the event goes as smoothly as possible. As a Summit hostess I had 3 areas to balance. 1.Preparing my clients to speak and shine in their talks. 2. Marketing the event so we had plenty of people signed up. 3. Executing the event live.

So if you are a coach or if you’re just curious about what it really takes to put together a virtual summit, then come join me in this episode because I will cover all the details!

As coaches, our ultimate goal is to make a positive impact. The Design, Live, Thrive Summit 2 day workshop series was our opportunity for women to learn about how impactful coaching can be. Coaching is transformative!

In today’s episode of the Life Coach Business Building Podcast, I will be joined by 5 of the 16 incredible coaches and speakers from the recently concluded Design Live Thrive Summit. From planning their signature talks to delivering them at the live virtual event, these women will tell us what they learned and what they thought about the whole experience.

Preparing for the signature talks was a substantial amount of work for each of the speakers. Some of the coaches were new in business and wrote their first marketing copy, learned how to use the technology that was needed to make the most of the Summit, and they also spoke in front of many people for the first time.  All of these efforts were made to make sure that the Summit was a great experience for the attendees. (And it was!) We wanted each session to focus on something important that the attendees could remember and use to make change in their lives that day. Based on the feedback we’ve received from speakers already, we give the attendees so many great insights, they loved it!

Join our conversation as we dive deep into the highlights of the Summit and the things that we could have done better to give everyone – the speakers and the audience an amazing Summit experience.
