Creating content can seem like a never-ending battle! From creating social media posts, writing your blog, crafting compelling email messages, and of course, creating content inside of your coaching and online training programs - I know firsthand how publishing content consistently can be a lot of work!

But, I also know the impact that consistent content creation and publishing can have on your business.

So, today, I wanted to give you some tips and share a process that you can follow to help make content creation easier and eliminate any overwhelm that you might be feeling.

Let’s go ahead and jump into my (5) step process to creating content like it’s your business (because it is)!

Imagine having a website that…

• Is Professional

What does it mean to have a website that works? I’m glad you asked! 

Your website should:

• Build trust and authority
• And convert prospects into customers

In this episode of Shop Talk, you’ll learn the 12 Things Every Coaching, Consulting, and Professional Service-Based Business Website Needs to capture leads and convert prospects into buyers.

Hey! This is Misty Kortes, and I want to “officially” welcome you to my world!

Are you a new startup entrepreneur (or one in the making)? You are in the right place, my friend!

Since this is my very first podcast, I thought I would start from the beginning. How to start a business from scratch (in just 5 hours).

You might think it’s crazy. 

Unrealistic. 

Maybe even a marketing scam to get you to click or listen in - but I assure you it’s not.

I (actually) did it myself. I started a business in just 5 hours with a $20 Staples Coupon and a 30-Day free Wix trial and built a five-figure business in just six short weeks - starting from scratch and zero experience!

Not sure how that’s possible? Well, you are in for a real treat, my friend!

In this episode, I’ll share the exact steps I took to launch my business in just 5 hours - and how you can too!

I don’t know your story (yet), so I don’t know what you’ve had to overcome to make it this far in your entrepreneurial journey, but I do know how lonely entrepreneurship can feel. Friends don’t understand. Family might think you’re crazy. But, one thing that is clear is your success matters.

Shop Talk is a show for entrepreneurs who are looking for simple, actionable, step-by-step marketing strategies that work.

My mission is to give you the training, guidance, tools, resources, community, and accountability you will need in your journey.

Whether you are just getting started with your online business or have gotten this far through pure git; you are in the right place, my friend!

I’ve got actionable content, expert interviews, behind-the-scene marketing secrets, and business hacks geared towards helping you build the business of your dreams and the life you deserve.

Nothing like jumping in the deep end on Episode #2 of Shop Talk where I tackle procrastination...the dirty little habit some of us have picked up in our business.

This topic is stemming from my first podcast episode of Shop Talk where I shared an embarrassing story about launching my podcast...something that I am DEFINITELY NOT proud of but I felt it was important to share.

So, I wanted to continue on that subject because I see so many people struggle with procrastination.

And, I think that most of us don’t realize where procrastination actually stems from.

In this episode of Shop Talk I’ll be drilling down on:

• how to spot what type of procrastination you might be struggling with
• the number one reason we procrastinate
• how it affects your business (and life)
• and how you can overcome procrastination, take action, and build a business you deserve!
