Teacherpreneurs, Raise Your Hand

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with one of my students from Podcasting Academy for Teacherpreneurs, Miki Leckie. Miki is a visionary who is taking her strengths and teaching knowledge and creating a business she loves. She is not only launching a store, but she is also launching a podcast at the same time! Miki is brave and courageous and is preparing to share with the world her knowledge about differentiated learning.

Podcasting can be such a powerful part of your business strategy. Not only does a podcast allow you to share your message with teachers, it allows you to make valuable connections to your audience, expand your reach on a variety of platforms, offer your teachers consistent value, and help develop the know, like, and trust, you factor that we all need when we are offering services to teachers.

Join Miki and I as we discuss taking what you know and love and creating a business you love. Be on the look out for Miki. This teacherpreneur is going places!

Today's episode is a bit of a vulnerable rambling episode. But taking a good hard look at where we went wrong helps us pick ourselves up and move forward. I also hope to prevent you from making the same mistakes I have made.

The Power of Podcasting A Conversation

Podcasting in your business can be a game changer. As a podcaster you have the ability to speak directly to your audience in a unique and authentic manner. That’s the beauty of podcasting. There is room for everyone and there are also podcasts for everyone.

Podcasting allows teacherpreneurs to connect with their audience in an intimate way. You are showing up consistently and offering your teachers value. Podcasting builds the know like and trust factor by building relationships and connections.

Podcasting also allows teacherpreneurs to get ahead of the curve. Podcasting is growing and will continue to get even bigger in the next 3-5 years. It truly is amazing. The earlier you begin the journey, the better.

The other aspect of podcasting for your business is the ability to expand your reach. Thanks to a variety of platforms such as Apple Podcast and more, teacherpreneurs have the opportunity to reach people on all platforms.

Farrah and I talk about the value of podcasting and the importance of showing up consistently for your audience. Join us to hear more.

The online marketing world can be so overwhelming. And it is easier for people to turn off when they are on social media. With so many algorithms it is very easy for you to get lost. When you look at podcasting, I put podcasting up there along the same lines as an email list. It is a very personal thing to give someone your email address. I think podcasting is the same thing with a little bit more anonymity. It allows you into somebody’s ear, and it allows you to give your voice to what your ideas are. It is some much more personal to be in someone’s ear. - Farrah Shipley Henely

I think podcasting is something everybody should really think about if they have something to share. -Farrah

In today’s market place for teachers, it isn’t enough to have great products. In fact, your products need to be outstanding, and you need to be able to share them with teachers. Sometimes the message gets lost in a sea of other teacherpreneurs and life. So as businessmen and women, we need to do some marketing to get our resources into the hands of teachers.

Today, I sit down with a master teacher and expert teacherpreneur, Jamie Sears from Not So Wimpy Teacher to talk about a marketing mentality and going beyond the product creation. Jamie is a wealth of information. I hope you will join us.

Jamie Jasperson shares her vast wisdom about Instagram and how important it is to shift your seller focus on Instagram into a more focused approach of building relationships and sharing who you are with your followers. Jamie gives me some much-needed advice on how to navigate the world of Instagram and shows me the value of using this powerful platform to increase your connections with your audience.

Jamie is a teacher of 4th-grade math and science, and she is a teacherpreneur on Teachers Pay Teachers. Jamie utilizes her skills in graphic design in her business on TpT and on Instagram.

I love Jamie’s philosophy of business- one of abundance and where she beleives that we all have sometime to offer and a unique way in which to share it. You are definitely going to want to take some notes. So grab some paper and a pencil and enjoy.

5 Learning From Failure

Sometimes we are pushed in directions we don’t expect. Sometimes these pushes are mistakes or failures we have experienced. The beautiful part of this process is the valuable lesson we learn. At any moment we can re-write our own stories. I love that.

Today, you get just me. I am sharing my own mistakes and failures. I hope that you learn from my mistakes and takeaways. Maybe just maybe they will save you from just a little bit of heartache. Then again, we learn the most from our own experiences…. Either way, join me for this vulnerable conversation and take away what you need and leave the rest behind.
