The Amy Porterfield Show

My friend, you and I both know that entrepreneurship can get pretty lonely at times. But, lucky for us, having a community can be as small as two people who connect and support each other. And, let's face it, the pandemic taught us all about the importance of connection, both online and in-person. 

Being a part of a community is so much more important for small business owners than you might think! Community helps us keep going even when things get tough and allows us the opportunity to learn from an array of wonderful people. Plus, science has literally shown that we thrive the most when we have supportive people around us!

That's why I'm excited to introduce you to my guest today, Natalie Franke. She's a community-building mastermind and the Head of Community at Flodesk. Natalie has helped thousands of small business owners cultivate communities, and today, she's here to share her expertise with you. 

But, we acknowledge that stepping into a community can be a bit intimidating, which is why we also chat about Natalie's fabulous book, Gutsy. It's your guidebook to uncovering the unapologetic courage within you and building up the confidence to make your unique impact on this world. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

Listen in because a big, beautiful community is out there just waiting for you to find them. And I'm here to cheer you on every step of the way!

I hear way too many of my older Digital Course Academy students worry that they're too late to the game, are discouraged by their age, or think they're too far behind to ever catch up. 

Well, here's the truth, my sweet friend – age is just a number, and you're never too old to start! In fact, some of the most successful entrepreneurs start a little later because, let's face it, life experience is a total game-changer. 

Take it from me – on my 47th birthday, I woke up feeling so lucky and appreciative of my maturity, the wisdom I've gained, and my capacity to care for myself and my business. As I get older, I'm also getting smarter, stronger, and I feel the best I have in years. 

So, if you're thinking of starting a new career, you're an empty nester, or looking for a new passion project in your retirement, I have some great news for you: you can make that leap today!  

In this episode, I dive into: 

Listen in and get ready to keep learning new things and facing new adventures, no matter how old you are!

My friend, I know your goal as an online business owner is to attract as many people as you can to your life-changing product. And believe me, you can't do that without some killer copywriting skills – or the text and words that sell your product and inspire action.

I've successfully launched Digital Course Academy so many times, but I continue to tweak my copy frameworks to get even better results than before! So, even if your product has been in the market for years, there's always room for adjustments to align with industry trends or the evolving needs of your audience. 

Today, I'm sharing some super easy strategies I've tried and tested to boost your messaging game and talk to your audience on a human level – without any of that fancy language and jargon no one understands. 

Whether you're writing emails, social media posts, or copy for your website and sales page, these tips will help you create content that people will love! 

In this episode, I share: 

Listen in and get ready to sell your product instantly with these impactful copywriting tips. Soon enough, you'll be a pro at writing content that your audience can't resist!

As an entrepreneur, I bet you've heard about market saturation a million times. Well, we’re talking about it some more today, BUT we’re focusing on reframing your emotions and feelings around it. Because trust me sweet friend, with the right mindset, you can succeed in any market, no matter how saturated it may seem!

So, why am I talking about this? I see many hopeful students in Digital Course Academy who hit the brakes because they feel like the market is just too crowded for them. But, let me tell you, that's simply not true – and I have proof! 

When I started as a social media manager nearly 15 years ago, it felt like every other person I talked to was doing the exact same thing as me. But, I didn't let the noise of oversaturation get to me, and I was able to grow the business I have today. And I know you can do it too!

In this episode, I’m diving into: 

Listen in and kick off your dream business. Remember, the market may be saturated, but your uniqueness and what you bring to the table are just waiting to shine through!
