I'm going to give you three steps that you need to take to start your internet show. Number ONE is you need to choose your thing. What is YOUR thing? Do you like to write ? Do you like to speak ? Do you like video ? What do you feel more comfortable doing or what do you want to feel comfortable doing? Because not everything we're going to jump into and be like, "Yep, we're ready." For example, I wanted to be good with video, but there was a time when I was really not... good. I had to get comfortable looking into the camera, staring at that record light and knowing what to say. I had to be prepared by putting together a nice, concise presentation or training so that people could watch it and learn. - Step number TWO is you want to commit to a time and a place. Every Tuesday at 9:00 AM, every Friday at 3:00 PM or 5:00 PM. I do mine on Fridays. I change the time sometimes, but EVERY FRIDAY I've been doing these live sessions. I post it to different places, but the point is that you want to commit to a time and a place or a day and a place. So this could be ongoing forever until you decide to stop. This could be a set period of time, like 30 days, every day, every other day, whatever it is. You want to get people used to your schedule, get people to look forward to your show, and you want people who are almost addicted to you . So for instance, there are certain podcasts that people love, certain Netflix shows that people love. They can't wait till they come out or they get depressed when it's over, right? - Step number THREE is you need to take action . You need to pick the medium, pick a time, day, and then DO IT. Figure out your topic and get the ball rolling. Once you start creating your show and putting it out there, you will learn many things about how to improve it. See more

People still buy information on CDs! For me, I don't even have a CD player anymore. I don't have anything that plays a CD. Everything is digital, but that's me. Some people still like to get that tangible thing in the mail that you can actually take out, touch, and hold it in your hand - When it comes to selling on Amazon, you must know every intricate detail on what to name your product , the strategy behind it , the strategy behind getting positive reviews , and t...he strategy to having happy customers . - The idea of selling CDs and physical products is really exciting and a new concept, especially if you're used to having the digital version, not really having costs associated with selling your content. Because Kindle, you are paying Amazon when you sell books you're just not paying for it to be published. But at the end of the day, Amazon is getting its royalties . So while it might be a lower cost of entry to sell Kindles and digital products, you're still paying for that later on - What I forgot to mention with the digital versus physical is that on the physical side of Amazon there is so much more money to be spent. Think about it, what's the most amount of money that you've spent on a Kindle book? For me that answer is maybe like $14.99 and the lowest is zero because of Kindle Unlimited. With physical products, people are spending more. They're spending 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and upwards dollars on physical products See more

Behind the scenes of my igtv be like.... New vids posted every week. Join me live on fridays and u never know what you will see on the uncut versions!!

In today's session, I'm going to share with you how I build journals in PowerPoint . PowerPoint is one of my favorite tools to actually design not only journals, but different types of books and workbooks, printables. If you don't have PowerPoint, you can do everything you're going to see here in a Google Slides. Google Slides has really improved over the years - I have about 81 templates, along with some really cool life-changing training. What I'm going to do is sift thr...ough and show you what some of these templates look like. They are examples of different templates that you can put in a journal or a planner, and they're quite easy to make and edit in PowerPoint. You can do different colors and you can use PowerPoints templates that they have alongside the templates that I give. The main idea of these templates is to make your content interactive. You want people to be able to write content on your pages. You want people to check things off, fill things out , answer questions, and draw. That's the whole idea behind your content being interactive. - The thing that I like about journal creation is that it's not a lot of work . So even if you mess up and you don't choose the best topic or you want to play around in a topic that you're not quite sure of, then it's okay because you're not really doing a lot of work. It's a numbers game . It’s just another journal that you have created underneath your passive income with content umbrella. If you publish nine journals and the 10th one is a home run , there's your numbers right there, but I do want you to be thinking of things that you can do correct right from the start. . See more

The first brilliant marketing hack is what I call ‘The Incomplete Hack’. You may have seen this before. They give 25% of the article and they say, "Subscribe here to see the rest." A lot of the times I'm not convinced enough to go ahead and do the complicated sign up process . I'm more annoyed because I have to stop reading and enter in my email. If you can give real value in that first 25%, then you usually get people who will actually go through and subscribe and th...en go through the whole process of putting in their email address. I absolutely love this strategy. In particular, I love it for video because that trust factor happens instantly if you do it right. - This second brilliant marketing hack is what I call ‘The Really Caring Hack’. You're not just immediately going to your audience and saying, "Hey, look what else I have." You're really trying to make a connection with them through a written environment . You need to offer them valuable information that they can use in their life today. This could be in the form of a 5 minute fitness tip or daily life routine. The content needs to be tailored to the specific individual. You need to think, how can I help this person, how can I really serve this person? - The third brilliant marketing hack is what I call ‘The Celebrity Hack’ . The celebrity hack is knowing your audience and having a sense of who they follow. Maybe it's an author, maybe it's a celebrity, maybe it is some kind of show on Netflix , maybe it's a documentary they might be watching. So anything that you can do to get on a common ground, to find a relatable topic with your audience and using the leverage of some kind of media, some kind of celebrity that you can say, "Hey, have you read this book ," or, "Have you watched this documentary," and incorporate that into your marketing somehow. Sometimes you can relate to someone a lot easier if you talk about something that's on common ground. Today, people are watching a lot of TV series and using them to get a connection with other people. This is something that one of my friends incorporates into their advertising, which I thought was really cool. See more
