Want to learn how to create a 7-figure funnel? In this episode, we dive into the world of sales funnels with our first ever guest on the podcast, Vesna Hrsto. Vesna is a successful naturopath and the first person I ever helped set up a funnel.

Vesna shares her journey from struggling with a disorganised sales process to creating a 7-figure funnel that transformed her business. The best part? The funnel is still helping her achieve amazing results five years after its creation.    Vesna now enjoys the advantages of a well-optimised funnel and its ability to bring consistency in income and scalability to her business. We also explore the importance of continuous optimisation in funnel creation. Vesna’s dedication to testing, refining and learning from feedback was crucial in creating the successful funnel she has today.    Tune in to discover how a well-optimised funnel can revolutionise your own business and stand the test of time.

Have you hit all of your business goals this year? If there are some things you’re still hoping to achieve before the year’s end, I’ve got some high-converting ideas you can implement to see a bump in sales and end the year with a bang.     In this episode, I share four simple strategies that are fast to implement, yet super effective:   Refresh and relaunch one of your online programs. You can re-record a couple of lessons, or perhaps update the workbook fonts or colours for an updated look. This will give you a chance to sneak in one more little promotion for the year.    Create a VIP experience for existing clients. Whether it’s a live workshop or a planning session, you can show your appreciation to your valuable customers and provide added value during the busy holiday season.    Hold an end-of-year or new-year workshop. Consider hosting a live workshop to help your audience either wrap up the year on a high note or kickstart the new one with some energy.    Set up a funnel. This one is a game-changer that I believe every business owner should implement. So why should you set up a funnel? Funnels work tirelessly for you, like a little machine running in the background of your business. They effectively convert leads into customers, bringing in sales while you focus on other tasks in your business.    So, there you have it - four high-converting ideas to help boost your end-of-year sales and set the stage for an amazing 2024. Remember, you don't need to tackle all of them at once. Pick one or two that resonate with you, and take action. Your goals are absolutely within reach, and these strategies are here to help you achieve them.  LINKS: Website |  Instagram | Programs | YouTube

In today's episode, I'm diving deep into a question that's been top of mind for me lately: How can we tell if we've got the wrong offer or the wrong audience?    If you’ve launched an offer that hasn’t received great results, there’s no need to panic. It happens to many people, and quite a few of my clients have been asking for my guidance on what to do next. Before you consider throwing it all out and starting from scratch, let's take a step back, breathe and explore a few crucial questions.   We'll begin by examining the signs that could indicate your offer isn't quite right for your audience. I'll share insights into how you can align your offer with your audience's preferences and your own values. We'll also explore the red flags that might suggest you've attracted the wrong audience, including low engagement, customer service issues and resistance to sales.    I take you through some actionable steps to correct any underlying issues, such as refining your offer to better suit your audience and running tests to assess a different approach and attract the right audience.    So, tune in to this episode for a practical guide on not only getting yourself unstuck, but moving onwards and upwards in all that you have to offer.  LINKS: Website |  Instagram | Programs | YouTube

Chat marketing is a wonderful tool to engage with your audience and encourage them to opt in. But did you know your chat marketing can be automated?    Today I’m talking about ManyChat, an automated chat marketing tool that has been around for a while, but is currently making a serious comeback. I’m all about saving time and making it easier for people to engage - and I've got five game-changing strategies to share on how you can harness its power for your business.   I run through what ManyChat actually is, how to use it and what mistakes to avoid.    I also share five smart ways you can use ManyChat to optimise your chat marketing and engage your audience seamlessly.   Promote Your List Building Tools: Instead of just asking people to click a link in your bio to take them to your offer, you can encourage them to send you a message or comment with a specific trigger word and ManyChat will send out the details for you.    Linking to Your Content: Create static links to your most recent long-form content, such as YouTube videos or podcasts, and ManyChat can send them out to interested people for you.    Grow Your Email List: You can use ManyChat to prompt your audience to subscribe so they’re across any upcoming newsletters. It even allows you to create evergreen triggers that can be used again and again.    Asking For Reviews: Use ManyChat to collect reviews or feedback from your audience and create the opportunity to engage in a conversation that will deepen the connection.   Qualifying Leads for Sales Conversations: Rather than trying to talk to absolutely everyone who opts in to learn more, ManyChat can help identify potential buyers and handpick them for personalised sales conversations. So, if you're ready to supercharge your marketing strategies and take audience engagement to new heights, tune in and discover how ManyChat can work wonders for you.

I've got an exciting strategy to spill in this episode – how to batch-create three months' worth of content in just seven hours. Let's be honest, creating marketing content can be a bit of a drag and I’ve often struggled to find a way to make it more fun after creating so much content over the years.    I knew batching my content creation was something I needed to do, but I used to grapple with the planning versus changing plans dilemma. We like our content to align with our marketing events, but life happens and plans shift. Then, a friend dropped a brilliant idea – making content evergreen with "pre-roll ads." This game-changer allowed us to batch content creation efficiently while staying flexible.   I'll walk you through my detailed batching process, from planning to fleshing out and recording. Plus, I'll share the importance of taking breaks during recording to avoid voice strain. And here's the best part – my team takes care of the post-batch workflow, making my time required after I’ve created the content minimal.   If you've ever found content creation draining, my insights offer a fresh approach to reclaim your time and creativity. Tune in if you want to optimise your content creation process and make room for business growth. LINKS: Website |  Instagram | Programs | YouTube

Email marketing is a powerful tool, but coming up with engaging content can be a challenge.    For the sake of my sanity, I've devised a simple structure that you can use to plan your emails each month. It's a lifeline, especially on those days when creativity seems to have abandoned you.   The template covers four types of emails: Value, Inspiration, Connection, and Aha.   Value Emails: provide practical content that your audience can use immediately. Share your best posts, resources, or tips related to your topic.   Inspiration Emails: feature success stories or testimonials from your clients, inspiring your subscribers.   Connection Emails: build a personal connection with your audience by sharing personal anecdotes or taking them behind the scenes.   Aha Emails: showcase your unique perspective and expertise on a topic, making you stand out.   This structure ensures you consistently provide value, inspiration, and connection to your audience while showcasing your unique perspective.    Use AI tools like chat GPT for content generation when needed, and watch your email marketing efforts soar.    Share your success stories with @hellofunnels on Instagram or in the comments over on YouTube: LINKS: Website |  Instagram | Programs | YouTube

If you already have an online program that's selling but not as well as you want, and you're ready to scale and increase your profits, then this episode is for you. I'm going to dive into the concept of front-end offers and back-end offers, and why you need both if you want to grow a successful online education business. A front-end offer is designed to cover the cost of your marketing, while a back-end offer is pure profit. Having both allows you to scale without breaking the bank on ads. Here's a sneak peek of what we'll cover in this episode: The difference between front-end offers and back-end offers Why having only one offer can limit your growth The challenges of relying solely on paid traffic How a second offer can unlock new opportunities for your business Making the right decision for your niche and business goals I'll also share some pros and cons of running a mini offer upfront and the benefits of having a more premium back-end offer. Plus, I'll provide practical tips on creating solid funnels and maximizing your profits. So, if you want all the details, make sure you listen in to episode #159 of the Doing It Online podcast now!   Resources mentioned: eCourse Empire Elite program

Hey there! It's Kate McKibbin, and on this episode of the Doing It Online podcast, I discuss the top BS beliefs that stop people from hitting 6 figures in their business.  I cover the power of recognizing the stories we tell ourselves, the importance of testing, tweaking, and refining, and how to automate your business to make sales without being physically present. Here are some key takeaways from this episode: Our subconscious tries to protect us by telling us certain things are better options, but they may not actually be true. Testing, tweaking, and refining is the only way to grow. Fast, furious, and imperfect action is how you move forward. It is possible to make sales without being physically present. You just need to be willing to test and refine your strategies until you find what works. Automation is a great tool for entrepreneurs and business owners to use in order to increase their success. Tune in to learn more about how you can overcome these beliefs and achieve success in your business.   Resources mentioned: 6-Figure School If you want more clarity about how to reach that 6 figure mark in your business, check out our six-figure school on demand course.

I'm going to share seven questions you need to ask yourself to ensure your offers are irresistible to your audience.   Here’s part of what we’ll cover inside:   What is the number one thing that your ideal client wants, not needs, but wants when it comes to the area, the outcome that you help them with?

This question will help you identify the roadblocks that your audience is facing when it comes to making a purchase. What would make them feel comfortable investing in it? This question will help you determine the elements that will make your audience feel secure and confident when investing in your offer. And that's just a taste of what you'll learn in this episode.

Real talk: launching sucks.   (It’s not just you!)   The way most people are taught to launch is a death spiral of doom, and we’re not exaggerating — it’s built on this model that requires you to basically always be in debt to your next launch, and means you’re riding this constant wheel of stress and exhaustion.   There’s a better way though. And that’s what we’re talking about in this episode.    Join us to hear why we decided to quit launching in 2022 — and how you can actually make a lot more $$$ if you join us in trading out live launching for evergreen launching.   And if you have a listen and just have to learn how to do this for yourself, check out eCourse Empire!    In it we teach you proven strategies for creating and selling courses with ease.   (How much nicer does that sound than the launch spiral of doom??)   Want More?
