Purpose-Driven, High-Profit Online Business

It's no secret that gaining impressive media attention can grow your personal brand and your business.But how you gain that attention and the structure of your business that must be in place first are very important. 

There's much more to pitching press than simply landing a magazine article or appearing on television. We want to be sure that your entire business is ready to receive the press and media attention so you can profit from it. According to Brielle Cotterman, a publicity expert - 

Do you want to build a press worthy personal brand and have a strategy to create your foundation of celebrity?

In her interview on the Sweet life entrepreneur podcast Brielle dove into detail about how to go ahead about achieving these results in the foundation of celebrity. This is taking your entire business into account, not just your press pitch. It means thinking about how you’re showcasing your offers and your programs, and ensuring that your client...

It’s hard to become known when you’re head down in your work. You’re busy taking care of your clients, not telling everyone about the work you’re doing. You just do the work, and hope people will tell their friends about your awesomeness. 

But sometimes that's not enough, and to move our business on and more importantly up, we have to move into a 'Becoming known' strategy.

Here are 3 questions to get you started;

1. What do you want to be known for?
2. Why? What's the strategy?
3. Who do you need to be known to?

What do you want to be known for?

What does the next level of your business look like? and what is your role? are you wanting to move into a CEO role or are you wanting to pivot into a different area?  

Why? What is the strategy?

What are we trying to accomplish?  what changes do you want to make in your role or within your systems and strategies?  Are you wanting to make a new offer and be known for this new thing?

8 steps of using the whiteboard sessions to turn leads into buys.

Start by sharing like your philosophical genius and thoughts about the problem that you are solving. Position yourself as someone in the know.

Open the floor for others to share their issue with whatever...

It may sound counterintuitive, but disqualifying clients is an important part of business growth. And although this may sound scary if you’re still working to become profitable, but this concept comes from the idea that concentrating your sales and marketing on only the most qualified leads is more suitable for business growth.

"When you have a great working relationship with your clients, then it's gonna be much more successful for both of you and therefore for the financial success of both your clients and your company."  April Beach.

When you disqualify clients, you make more money, because the qualified clients you do accept have: 

1. better results with your programs
2. a deeper commitment to their own success

6 questions to ask yourself when vetting a prospective client to determine who really wins with your coaching?

What kind of content do companies want to license from an online business owner?

There are three types of content that companies will be interested to license from you. Let's dive in.

It is time-consuming and exhausting to constantly create new content so if you can ease that process by delivering amazing content for other companies to distribute on their channels you have a potential licensing opportunity.

2: Assets
