    Ep 181: [Workshop Replay] Sell The Promise First So Your Program Funds Itself | Guest Expert: Melissa Camilleri

    Send us Fan Mail This is the replay of the LIVE workshop Melissa Camilleri facilitated with Tiny Marketing last week. We show you how to pre-sell a group program so you get paid before you build, using a simple MVP instead of months of recording and guessing. We also dig into why human feedback and community matter more than ever as AI makes information cheap.  • pre-selling as paid proof of concept to reduce risk  • shifting from 1:1 time limits to one-to-many scalability  • starting with what already works in your client process  • identifying the “hump” that becomes a focused mini-offer  • designing a minimum viable product that delivers outcomes  • choosing a format learners will actually use  • keeping launches simple with connect collect deliver  • what you do not need like pre-recorded modules or fancy pages  • handling low enrollment and still delivering value  • positioning expertise beyond AI with support and community  Melissa Camilleri Check the show notes to get started.  Go to challenge.saranoelblock.com.  It’s at standfortheand.com slash sold out.  You can book yours through the link in the show notes.  Sign up and be part of the next masterclass by going to events.saranoelblock.com.  My Booked Out Blueprint starts with a private 45-minute interview where I learn your business, your goals, and what’s actually holding you back.

    Ep 180: Your First Hires as a Solo Consultant: How to Hire, Onboard, and Build Systems Without Burning Out | Expert Guest Sara Nay

    Send us Fan Mail On the Tiny Marketing Podcast, host Sarah Noel Block interviews Sara Nay, CEO of Duct Tape Marketing, about making the first few hires as a solo consultant. Nay explains that effective hiring starts before the job post by clarifying mission, vision, and values, then running a culture/fit interview before assessing skills. She recommends choosing a first hire by doing a one-week time audit to identify repetitive, draining tasks to delegate—often starting with an executive assistant or account manager to keep the consultant in a strategic role. Nay advocates hiring earlier than feels comfortable by starting part-time (around 10 hours/week) and scaling up. For onboarding, she emphasizes slow ramp-up, training and shadowing on one client at a time, daily check-ins with small task lists, using Loom videos plus checklists, time tracking from day one (e.g., Harvest), and documenting only critical recurring processes by mapping end-to-end client “flows.” 00:00 Welcome to Tiny Marketing 00:49 Meet Sarah Nay 02:11 Hiring That Actually Works 02:59 Values First Job Posts 05:24 Choosing Your First Hire 07:43 Start Part Time and Scale 11:37 Onboarding Without Overwhelm 15:09 Looms Checklists and Docs 17:33 Time Tracking and Profitability 22:19 Pricing and Raising Rates 25:15 Documenting Core Processes 28:13 Where to Find Sarah 28:36 Booked Out Blueprint Outro My Booked Out Blueprint starts with a private 45-minute interview where I learn your business, your goals, and what’s actually holding you back.
