The Course Creator Show

Have you ever thought about using blogging to increase your traffic, audience and leads? 

It might be an old-school strategy… but one that still totally works.

In this episode of The Course Creator Show, I’m sitting down with long-time blogger Kate Kordsmeier. 

Coming from a journalism background, Kate started online with her own food and travel blog that she grew to a 6-figure business and eventually sold. 

With a focus on writing helpful articles and learning the in’s and out’s of SEO, Kate was able to grow a huge following and has helped other bloggers and entrepreneurs now do the same.

If you want to learn how you can use a blogging approach to build a long-lasting, sustainable strategy to get new leads every day into your business… tune in to this episode!

Ever worry that maybe your online course idea isn't going to land with your audience? Are you worried that you're going to put in all this work to create a course only to have it completely flop? 

Today, I'm chatting with one of my students, Janita O'Hara all about how she came into my program and found out that you can actually make money from your course BEFORE you create it. 

Fast-forward to her first launch and she made over $13,000. Now those are some results we can get behind. 

Tune in to learn how she did it!

Think online courses only work in the business to business or digital marketing industry?

Think again.

Lizzie Bolliger is a doula and childbirth educator who enrolled in my program Course Creator School.

And that’s exactly what she did, after taking my course.Let me wow you with a few stats before we get into the interview. During the first 6 months after taking my program, Lizzie…

Grew her Email list from 66 to 850

Grew her IG audience from 9.2K to 14.1K

Launched her first course and made over $3300

Did a second flash sale and made over $7000

And is now growing at lightning speed 

This is a really great case study to learn from. Let’s dive into the interview.

I am really excited to share this story today.

In this interview, I’m sitting down with Meg Svec. 

Meg is the Co-Owner of Spilt Milk Pastry, a bakery in Chicago, and the Founder of Bakery Business Academy.

A few months after launching a small digital product, Meg came to work with me. I helped her re-position her offer, build out her product suite, improve her launching, come up with a lead generation strategy, and ultimately build out a thriving digital business.

As a mom to young kids and a busy bakery owner, Meg needed to create a business that could operate with her limited time – about 5 to 10 hours a week.

And I’m ridiculously pleased to share that within the first year of working together, Meg grew her online course side hustle business to a quarter million dollars in revenue.

Let’s roll the interview!
