    How I’d Transition from 1:1 to 1:Many if I Were Doing It Today

    How I’d Transition from 1:1 to 1:Many if I Were Doing It Today

    Recently, I hosted a challenge where over 6,500 participants embarked on a journey to develop their digital products in just 24 hours, from conception to launch! If you missed out, don't worry, the challenge is still open for you to join at bossproject.com/launch. After the challenge, I reached out with a survey question about what you want to hear more of on the podcast. One concern that really stood out was about breaking into the digital product world when most of your income still comes from one-to-one services.

    In response to this feedback, today’s episode is all about transitioning from one-to-one to one-to-many while still keeping that one-to-one income flowing. You’ll hear all about the ups and downs of my digital product journey, why it was worth it, and how I would make the transition if I were doing it again today. Join me as I get into all the key facets of this process, from building a community to creating effective marketing strategies for transitioning to one-to-many.

    Khanyisa and I connected when I was inspired by a TikTok video of her discussing why her life is not a community project. I know that our community needs to hear from her because I know that so many of you struggle with imposter syndrome and feel as if you need constant validation for the work that you’re doing. But that is only the tip of the iceberg! This conversation is going to impress you so much and help you work through some things that will ultimately have a massive impact on your life and your business.

    How to Start a Business With ZERO Audience

    How to Start a Business With ZERO Audience

    In today's episode, I’m sharing what you need to know about the strategy of kickstarting your business from scratch, even if you think you have no existing audience. I’ve found that we tend to underestimate our existing network. From family and friends to colleagues and acquaintances, you likely have a web of up to 1,000 connections waiting to be tapped into. You’re probably not actually starting from zero— it's just a matter of harnessing those connections to build the life and business you’re wanting.

    In reality, the size of your audience doesn't actually dictate your revenue potential. I encourage you to put yourself out there and show up authentically, despite feeling vulnerable. Fear of judgment often holds us back, but stepping into the spotlight isn't just about gaining followers— it's about creating genuine connections and building a supportive community. Shifting my focus from numbers to nurturing meaningful relationships has not only been eye-opening but also empowering, and I'm eager to share this transformative journey with you on the podcast today!

    Convert Strangers to Buyers With a Digital Product 

    Build Your Perfect Audience

    Leverage Digital Products & Increase Your Audience

    Use DMs to Communicate Directly With Your Followers

    Balance Attracting New Followers With Nurturing Your Audience

    In today’s episode I’m sitting down with Melodee Fiske, a second-grade teacher turned food photographer, who went on to use her experience to educate others on how to build their own successful food photography company! Like other creators I‘ve interviewed, Melodee started by answering questions that were coming from the people around her. During that time, she balanced building her photography client base and sharing knowledge one-on-one before finally turning that knowledge into a course.
    Tune in to hear about Melodee’s journey managing this transition, and find out where the tipping point lies between maintaining that balance and going all in on teaching. This episode was sponsored by Teachable.
