The Emily Osmond Show

A little update from me about the podcast! I’m expecting our second baby boy in just a couple of weeks time, at the time of recording this podcast (he is due mid to late July), and I’ve decided this time round to take a break from the podcast. I’m intending to take the first six to 12 months of baby-to-be’s life a little slower with work than I did with our first-born son (who is now almost 22 mon...

If you're like most entrepreneurs then there are loads of things that you could teach and that you could help people with, which means that when it comes to creating our first online course, you could create an all encompassing course or even a membership that covers all the bases and all aspects of our area of expertise. However, in today’s episode, I want to share with you why starting your onli...

It’s tempting to want to share everything we know in our online course. We can also equate quantity of content with quality of course. But what is in fact more valuable than more information? Quicker results. People don’t want to buy a library of information. They want the fastest route to the course’s promised outcome. In this episode, we’re exploring how to decide how much to include in your cou...

Today we’re exploring arguably the most important decision you will make when it comes to designing your online course.

Have you been thinking about creating and launching your first online course?    There can be a lot to get your head around from the sales pages, the checkout pages, emailing your list, promoting on social media, the course creation, picking a name and price and the launch strategy itself.   But if you're like many of the course creators I work with, there can also feel like there's a huge pressur...

Coming up with content ideas - and then bringing them to life - is one of the trickiest and most time consuming parts of marketing for one person business owners.  But what’s worse? When all that time and effort translates into very little engagement. I remember when I used to rack my brain trying to figure out what to post. At the start, I tried sharing what I saw others sharing - convinced they...

Mindset - or more specifically working on our mindset - is a common idea to many one person business owners.

Most small business owners think their marketing should feel new and exciting to them in order to be doing it right. In fact, they think that if they repeat themselves in their content, they're doing it wrong. But when we market our business to suit our personal needs of fun, newness and change, we forget about our audience and their needs of consistency and repetition from a brand. In this episod...

There’s a great little feature on Instagram that you might not yet be aware of - or if you are aware of it, you may not be using it in the most strategic way possible. I’m talking about Instagram’s pinned posts feature. You can pin up to three of your posts to the top of your profile on Instagram, which means that these are the first pieces of content that people will see when they land on your pr...

And how can you attract clients from marketing your business online - in a way that feels good to you? Well today’s guest on The Emily Osmond Show answers these questions and more! My guest is Gulinka Sha...

I’m not going to sugarcoat it: I have found the past few months pretty hard! The last episode I recorded about business and a baby was when Lando was four months old. He had slept for a lot of the day up until about three months, and at the time I recorded that episode, I was getting to grips with no longer having pockets of my day to dive into work. This coincided with the end of the time that I...
