Online Course Creator Show

#043: Today I welcome special guest Natalie Tolhopf onto the show. Natalie recently wrote and published a book Becoming Unstoppable, so today we dig into what it really takes to become unstoppable as a woman in business. 

In this episode, Natalie shares: 

• Why trying to 'keep up with the Jones' online was keeping Natalie stuck, and how she moved through that to become unstoppable
  
  
• Why messy action and imperfect action leads to great results (and how we need to unlearn the perfectionism we pick up from our previous jobs)
   
• Tips on how to stop comparing and start sharing your wisdom with the world 
  
  
• Her recommendation on how to stop seeking external validation from your business

You can find all resources and Natalie's book linked in the shownotes here: https://www.louiseblakely.com/43

#041: Are you in the messy middle of building a freedom-based business?

What does that mean?

It means you've already created an online course or digital product, you've launched it once or a few times, but you're still having to hold onto your old job or client work to pay the bills.

This is a time where it is very easy to just give it all up. But you are on the verge of something amazing, and I really don't want you to quit during this time.

In today's episode, I share with you: 

• Why feeling out of alignment is not always what it seems to be and can be a trap 
• The one thing you must focus on in-between your launches for your launches to grow 
• How to know if your course is just the wrong offer for you, or if you just need to build out your product suite 
• How you can recommit to your freedom-based business TODAY by making the right next move

This is a must listen if you have a course and want to continue to grow!

Enjoy!
Lou xx

#040: Today I interview the CEO of Interact, Josh Haynam. Interact is an online quiz platform that integrates the use of AI to quickly create quizzes that attract leads into your online business and convert them into paying customers.

Interact is the tool that I used to create my quiz, it's what I recommend to my clients, and there's a very high chance you've taken a quiz that was created with Interact.

In this interview, I ask Josh all about how to use a quiz in your business so that it attracts the right leads and turns them into paying customers. 

You will hear: 

• How a quiz can bridge the gap between your offer and what your audience actually wants
• How Interact have integrated AI into their platform to reduce quiz creation time from weeks down to as quick as 14 minutes! 
• The biggest missed opportunity for course creators today and how a quiz can help 
• The growth strategy that Interact have used to grow their business despite constant changes to the online landscape and how course creators can do the same.

#039: Have you experience a failed launch and it's tripped you up? You're definitely not alone - it's happened to everyone in the online space at some point. But it's all about how you respond to it.

The secret is to not let this stop you. A failed launch is only a lesson learnt. If you've had a failed launch (or you're afraid of having a failed launch), this episode is a must-listen.

#037: Social media is an amazing tool but it doesn't come without its downsides. More and more people are becoming frustrated with it and are considering stepping away from it. 

So the question is...do you absolutely need social media to launch an online course, or could you do without it? 

In this episode, you will learn: 

• Why social media is NOT the 'be all and end all' for launching (even if you're not a social media hater)
  
  
• How social media can be used effectively as part of your marketing funnel 
  
  
• The alternatives if you're totally done with the social media rabbit hole (and there are a few options) 
  
  
• My favourite launch method that I've seen great success with that DOESN'T include social media 

Enjoy the episode,

#034: I love making predictions on what's to come! There's a lot changing out there at the moment, and in this episode I'm looking at how that is going to affect those of us who are creating and launching online courses this coming year in 2023. 

It's savvy business to be looking at what's happening out there in the world, and think how they will impact your space, and then get ahead of the game! This is what creates a winning business.

 One thing I know for sure - online courses are not going anywhere!
