There's a type of marketing that's rampant on social media that you've definitely seen before, even if you're not directly familiar, called "lifestyle marketing." It's all about showing off a specific lifestyle in order to market your services—it sends the message that by working with you, people might be able to attain the kind of life that you're living. Many examples lean towards the materialis...

Running a business is no easy task. There are plenty of dial-moving factors to worry about, so don't waste your precious time an energy stressing out about the shit that doesn't matter. When you're new to online business, it can be a struggle to discern what does and doesn't matter, so in this episode, Jill is sharing 4 things you have her permission to stop caring about. You don't need to let the...

Is the fear of success secretly causing you to sabotage your own progress? The idea of fearing success may seem ridiculous, but getting to the next level of success means increased responsibility and having more eyes on you, with a lot of pressure to "keep it up." That fear of success is really just the fear of failure in disguise, because we wouldn't fear succeeding if we didn't fear losing all t...

Making mistakes is a part of business. You'll never reach a point where you've learned everything there is to know, which means you'll "mess up" in some way or another for as long as you run your own business. And if you'll always mess up, that means these mistakes or problems aren't because you're "bad" at what you do, you probably just don't have enough experience yet, and that's okay! If you're...

Every single person has their own set of personal values that influences how they see and interact with the world. As a personal brand, you'll find that the clients you attract tend to have a similar value system to you, or more likely, want to have the same value system. The more authentically you show up, and the harder lines you draw in the sand when it comes to your values, the more aligned cl...

Your online coaching is a part of your business—it's your product!—but don't make the mistake of thinking that your client-facing work is what makes up the entirety of your business. When you're doing client-facing work, that's working *in* your business, and it requires a very different skillset and energy level than working *on* your business. A lot of newbies make the mistake of saying yes to e...

One of the benefits to owning an online business is that you can increase your revenue—and therefore your income—at any time, unlike in a traditional job. In business, scaling an offer or a product means to increase the revenue gained from that sale without having to increase costs. But before you're ready to start scaling your products, there are a few concepts you should learn and practices you...

There's a universal law in marketing that you've probably been a part of without even realizing it: The Law of Reciprocity. It's no rocket science, but when used well, it can help you reach new heights and create even deeper connections. The Law of Reciprocity states that if you do something nice for someone, chances are good that they'll want to do something nice for you in return. Generosity nev...

There's a brand new social media that everyone is talking about—Threads. Made my Meta (owner of Facebook and Instagram), Threads is an answer to Twitter. A brand new social media platform is ripe with opportunity, and as an online business owner, you should be hopping on and exploring what Threads has to offer to you. It pays to be an early adopter, and while it isn't clear what the future holds f...

The coaching offers that we can create for our online business can be developed in multiple ways. There are several details and combinations that can be made in order to fit your schedule and work for your clients, at the same time. One type of offer that is fundamental though is the  'High Ticket 1:1'  offer. In this episode, Jill shares the best strategies to create this and gives an overview of...

Your confidence may be polarizing. In the online coaching space, confidence is a must. In life, and especially on the internet, people are drawn to confidence and conviction. It's how your potential clients will know it's safe to invest with you. However, true confidence can sometimes be off-putting, especially for people who are mired in their own insecurities. We fear showing up confidently beca...

As you scale your business and start selling offers other than your 1:1 coaching, you'll start to run out of something called "promotional real estate." There are only so many places you can talk about your promotions, so when you start to promote new products, you lose the space you once had to sell previous offers, possibly leading to a decrease in sales. It's totally normal, but for some newer...

One question Jill is always trying to find the answer to is why some people seem to do really well in their online business while others keep struggling, no matter what they do. While there are many factors at play, one thing that seems to make a difference is your likability, aka your charisma. If you need charisma to make it online, does it mean you're doomed if you're not naturally charismatic?...

In entrepreneurship, talking about money is far from taboo. So many people are raised with an aversion to talking openly about money and often tie their income or ability to make money to their self-worth. If you really want to get good at online business, you have to learn to get clinical with your feelings about money and realize that just because the client is the one with the money, doesn't me...

The last few episode have focused heavily on brand-building in your business, but a large part of that includes showcasing parts of your personality that have nothing to do with your expertise.

Your online business is so much more than just the products and services you sell—it's an entire brand! In the online coaching space, having a powerful personal brand is the best way to make connections, build trust, and eventually make sales. Think of it almost like an on-demand ATM for your business.

So many new coaches jump online and start putting out offers without doing their due diligence and building a connection with their audience first. There's nothing wrong with asking your audience for the sale—in fact, you SHOULD be asking eventually—but you have to earn the right to ask by building your brand first. Both aspects are important in your business, the building of your brand and the di...

It's not uncommon for people to start their online business but never treat it than anything more than a hobby. Owning your own business is seen as a huge risk, but the way Jill sees it, an online business can have even MORE stability than an in-person or salaried job. If the pandemic proved anything, it's that anyone can lose their "secure" job in the blink of an eye. When you own your own busine...

Your "brand" as a business owner is so much more than the fonts and colors you use or having a quippy name—it's about the way you make people feel. There is no brand "building" in the way you might think, you already have one just by showing up. In online business, authenticity reigns supreme. That means showing up exactly as you are, operating in a true-to-you value system and letting your people...

Building your business is a huge investment, not only of your time, but of your energy too. People often say to themselves that they'll start pursuing their business "once things settle down," but the reality is, that never actually happens. So, instead of waiting for life to calm down or adding more hours of work on to your already packed schedule, it might be a good idea to start auditing your t...
