Are you wondering how long you should promote your launch?  Wondering what type of bonus you should provide?  Maybe you are curious what my ads looked like and what changes I would make when running them next time.

Welcome to another Quick Tip episode!This is where I share a quick tip or strategy that can help you grow your online business so you can have a bigger impact and increase your revenue. Today I want to talk to all of the Facebook and Instagram ad managers who listen to the show.  I have heard from a lot of you about the uncertain times we are in right now.  Many businesses are cutting back on their ad spend which is causing you to worry about the effects it will have on your business.  On the other hand, there are many businesses that are increasing their ad spend or they are transitioning and coming into the online space for the first time. If you are an ad manager and feeling uneasy about your business, I encourage you to lean into service and get creative about how you are serving your clients. Many of you know that I stopped marketing my course for ad managers about a year and a half ago while I was going through transitions in my business.   Now I work with entrepreneurs to help them grow their businesse

Have you been wondering what the heck is going on with Facebook Messenger marketing? In the past, it was all the rage, and everyone seemed to be talking about it.

I love taking you guys behind the scenes of things going on in my business, and in today’s episode, I am doing just that! Today we are covering paid workshops, which is a concept that has been around forever, but this is the first time I am trying it for myself.  I created my first workshop earlier this year as I wanted to try something new.  I desired to keep it simple, yet I wanted to over-deliver on a topic for a small price.  Based on the feedback from the workshop, I believe I did just that!  I am breaking it all down for you -- from setting your goals, outlining content, creating a promotional strategy, and evaluating your workshop when it's over. Launching a profitable paid workshop shouldn't be overwhelming. When you break it down to the must-haves, it becomes so much easier.  I was extremely happy with the results, so I am excited to share what worked, what didn’t, and how you can use paid workshops in your business.   I encourage you to look at the assets you have available that you can le

My guest on the show today calls herself one of my star students, and I definitely agree! Kaity Griffin successfully scaled an e-commerce business using Google Ads.   That’s when she realized she was more passionate about the Google Ads side of the business, which she says engaged both the creative and data-driven sides of her brain.  Kaity sold her e-commerce business and moved to a well-known Google Ads agency in Melbourne, Australia.  After her second child was born, she realized she had a desire to start her own business. Fast forward to today, and she is now an expert in Google AdWords and has built a multiple six-figure business in a short amount of time, all while having two kids under five.  Kaity runs a successful Google AdWords agency and has launched her course teaching Google Ads.  She is a “mum” who is very protective of her time and only works three days a week so she can be fully present with her kids.  Kaity reveals her big WHY (her family), which is the filter for everything she does in her b
