Send Krystal a Text Message. I was so excited to sit down and chat with my fellow online business owner and my go-to numbers girl, Jamie Trull!  Not only has she had massive growth and success in her business in 2020, but she's also found ways to give back to her community 10-fold. While Jamie is an expert at numbers and finances, she isn't your typical CPA.  In our conversation on the p...

Send Krystal a Text Message. I'm excited to bring to you a LIVE Q&A session that I did with the co-founder of Podcaster's Kit, Dan Morris.  In this interview, we talked about the evolution that Dan's journey has taken him in his online business from blogging, traveling the world for conferences, to creating content for podcasters!  Dan and I also share what we were most excited...

Send Krystal a Text Message. I'm uber excited to share with you today's guest and the incredible conversation we had about podcasts and audiobooks!

Today's guest, David Wolf, has many years of experience with creating audio of all k...

Send Krystal a Text Message. I'm a huge fan of Dave Ramsey. I've learned so much about finances and business from his books, live events, video show, and yes - even his podcast!  So today, I wanted to share with you the 5 things Dave has taught me about podcasting that have impacted my journey. I'm sharing with you some mindset tips, practical strategies to follow, and even some une...

Today's guest, Monica Swanson, is the host of the Boy Mom Podcast and she's literally written the book on being a boy mom: Boy Mom: What Your Son Needs Most from You . As you can i...

Send Krystal a Text Message. I love doing market research for my podcast. I know, big surprise. I'm a nerd about podcast questions! But today, I wanted to circle back to a question I asked several months ago in a podcast community. I posted the question, "What's the hardest part of launching a podcast?" and was blown away by the responses. Some of the answers were things I expe...

Send Krystal a Text Message. I wondered when I was first starting my podcast if I should have a daily show. "Instead of a 30-minute episode once a week, I could have 5-minute episodes 5 times per week. That sounds easy enough, right?" Maybe you've wondered this same thing for your podcast. Or maybe you've thought about switching up the format from season to season of your show....

Send Krystal a Text Message. I was recently asked, "What do you do when you hit a big milestone on your podcast?" And I felt like a deer in headlights. I know, you're probably thinking, "You hadn't thought about that? You've already hit a few pretty big milestones on your podcast. And you never celebrated them?"  But here's the truth, I have celebrated certa...

Send Krystal a Text Message. I’ve been asked a lot, “If you were starting your online business today, what would you invest in? Your time? Your money? Your energy?” So today, we’re talking about tools and resources that I use on a regular basis, ones I wish I would’ve invested in sooner, and I’m sharing tons of free resources that can make all of the difference. We’re talking about websites, email...

Send Krystal a Text Message. Masterclasses were a mystery to me for a long time. "What are they for? How do you create one? And then how do you get people to show up live once you've done all of the work to make it?" These are questions I had when I first started in the online business world. And I'm excited that we're going on a deep dive into all things masterclasses tod...

Send Krystal a Text Message. Today, we're covering a topic much bigger than you and me. We're talking about the ripple effect of podcasting: what it is, some specific examples, and how to think about your podcast's impact in a different way. This episode isn't about getting millions of downloads, having thousands of listeners, or any kind of statistic at all. We're talking...

Send Krystal a Text Message. Okay, I'll bring up the elephant in the room because it's time we finally talk about the ridiculous begging and pleading going on. That's right, I'm calling some people out today. I've been doing more rants on my daily podcast and felt it was time to bring some of that energy over to this podcast today. Because we need to talk about all of the...

Send Krystal a Text Message. Behind-the-scenes segments are my favorite! Not only for me to consume (it's why I love memoirs!) but also to create. In today's episode, I'm sharing with you why I've invested in digital courses and how much. I know you want to know all the details. So I'm sharing with you which types of programs I've invested in and how much each one of...

Send Krystal a Text Message. I could go on and on about all of the mistakes I've made since I started my online business. But that wouldn't be helpful. It would make you sad. And it would make me sad too. Instead, we'll just focus on the 10 mistakes I made when I created and launched my first digital course.  As you can imagine, I'm not sharing these with you today so you'...

Send Krystal a Text Message. In the last few episodes, we've been talking about monetizing your podcast with your first digital course. Today, I'm giving you the full behind-the-scenes of what it looked like for me to actually create a digital course. Plus, if you check out the show notes for today's episode, you'll even get a peek at one of my original course videos, the stick...

Send Krystal a Text Message. You've probably heard me say it by now, but my focus for the month of August 2020 is to talk about making money with a podcast. However, today, we're taking things in a different direction. I still believe that you can make money with a podcast long before you have thousands of listeners and millions of downloads, but there are some mindset shifts that need t...

Send Krystal a Text Message. I've never fully told the story about how I came up with my first digital course. It's a funny story actually. Well, kind of funny.  It involves me breaking the rules, finally listening to that one friend who was constantly asking me the same questions, and having a moment that Elizabeth Gilbert describes as "magic".  In this episode, I'm shari...

Send Krystal a Text Message. If you've been in the online world for a hot minute, you've probably heard of my friend and mentor - Amy Porterfield. But if you haven't, don't worry. I'm giving you a proper introduction today. Amy teaches entrepreneurs how to take their knowledge, skills, and expertise and turn it into a digital course. Her programs, podcast, and live video t...

Send Krystal a Text Message. How often have you heard the term overnight success ?  Me? About a million times. "Did you see how he just came out of nowhere..." "Look at how much she big in just 2 months..." "Can you believe she up like that overnight..." You've probably heard all of these comments about success. But what I want to talk about today my definition o...

Send Krystal a Text Message. When it comes to "rules", I'm typically a rule-follower.  But, at the same time, I don't think there should be hard and fast podcast rules.  Every show is different. Every podcaster is different. And we should all stand out in our unique ways. But when it comes to podcast show notes, there are 6 guidelines I live by.  In today's episode, we&apo...

Send Krystal a Text Message. When you've asked yourself the same question more than once, there's a good chance it's a valid question. That's how I felt about podcast transcripts. When I first started podcasting, I knew that this was something I didn't need to ignore. "Transcripts are so important for your podcast!" I heard all of the experts telling me.  But yet...

Send Krystal a Text Message. "Are there any benefits to listening to your own podcast episodes? Should you do it? Not do it?" These are all questions I asked myself when I first got started podcasting. This is why I was delighted to see so many of you had the same reaction too! There was a recent question posed in a podcast group that asked, "Do you listen to your own podcast episod...

Send Krystal a Text Message. I'm normally not an "in your face" kinda coach.  I'm more of an "encourage them and push them out of their comfort zone just a bit...but not too far". Well, that's changing today. In this episode, I'm going a little off the rails on some things we need to talk about when it comes to publishing your podcast. Some of these things I...
