More Profitable Podcast | Business Podcast Strategy for Coaches and Consultants

On May 1st I was able to check something off my personal business bucket list, it was the MOST amazing feeling. I was able to speak at an event that was actually the first event I EVER attended. The International Virtual Assistants Association Live Summit was HUGE in making my business what it is now, even though I'm no longer a VA. In this episode I'm sharing some insights and inviting you to get working on one of your business bucket list items. In fact I'd love to hear what it is so hit the comments and share below.

If you're a VA and interested in learning more about IVAA you can check out their website (they also have an RFP area if you're looking for a VA)

Today is a BIG day, I'm excited to be celebrating the 50th episode of Hit the Mic. I LOVE doing this podcast so thank you for your continued support and for listening and sharing and asking your questions. I really do adore hearing from you. To celebrate I thought I'd share another piece of my rebrand (new site coming soon), that lovely image to your left is the brand new cover image for the show! Ok so let's get down to business. Today we're talking Twitter. I'm breaking down 5 pieces that I get a lot of questions about and that are a few of my favorite things about the network. Twitter is definitely something that leaves folks confused at first but I find it can be a huge traffic driver, center for engagement, and a great way to connect with folks at events.

I'm sharing a little behind the scenes fun today all about beta testing. I'm sharing why I've done it and also how I do it. If you're currently launching a new product or program I'd love to hear why you choose to beta test, or why you choose not to beta test.
