Digital Trailblazer Podcast Leah Getts & Todd Getts

Episode 49: Most online business owners who have a digital products business (i.e. coaches, course creators, etc) don’t typically have a real “exit strategy”.

Some coaches & course creators plan on just making a bunch of money and then just quitting when they’ve decided they’ve made enough money (or just get sick of it), and others have just never even stopped to think of an exit plan.

But what if you could actually sell your online course or coaching business for a profitable exit?

In this episode, Jen Kilbourne explains how she did just that.

Jen answers all your questions about how to sell a digital products business… how to find a buyer, how to prepare for the sale, how much is your online business worth, how to maximize the value of your business, what are the things that add value to your business, how long does the process take, what do you do if your business is tied to your name and likeness, how big do you need to build your business before you can sell it, and much more!

About Jen Kilbourne: Jen Kilbourne is someone who can take your big ideas and turn them into profitable income streams.

Jen is an Executive Coach and Communications Expert that built her first online education company in a B2B niche and sold it in 2020. Since then, she's been focusing behind the scenes with growth-phase entrepreneurs to identify their intellectual property and develop their corresponding books, courses, and transformational content.

Her mission is to provide the services and education needed for visionary leaders, teachers, and experts to sustainably support and profit from their work online -- so that their audiences of real people can benefit as greatly as possible.

Episode 48: You can only build your online business so far before your revenue hits a plateau, and the only way you can continue to grow is by hiring a team to run parts of your business for you.

The problem that a lot of solopreneurs run into is that they either find a cheap VA from overseas that produces low-quality work, or you pay a high price for a US-based VA in order to get an acceptable level of work.

In this episode, Beejel Parmar reveals how you can find highly-skilled VA’s from overseas at a much lower price than US-based virtual assistants. He explains what to look for in a resume, warning signs that a VA is likely to be a bad hire, what jobs and tasks in your business to outsource first in order to maximize ROI, how to train and manage your VA’s, and much more.

About Beejel Parmar: Beejel has been advising entrepreneurs on the subjects of overcoming procrastination, productivity, and outsourcing to virtual assistants since 2009. He has pioneered a home based VA model, and is a frequent speaker at workshops, mastermind, networking groups.

Since 2019, Beejel has been running a groundbreaking VA service, Bee Epic, setting a new industry benchmark with a direct hire, no mark-up fee approach. This model, emphasizing community and transparency, attracted skilled VAs and built trust through face-to-face training and events, benefiting both clients and VAs financially.

Episode 47: Nobody wants to invest months (or even years) into creating an online course or coaching program just to find out that nobody wants to buy it… yet that’s exactly what many first-time online business owners do.

They spend 6-12 months or more to create a complete, well-polished online course, and then they “launch” and get zero sales.

In this episode, Jeremy Shapiro explains how you can validate an offer BEFORE you create it and launch within a matter of days rather than months, so you can get your online business into profits quickly and predictably without the risk of investing all of your time and effort into creating a product that nobody wants.

About Jeremy Shapiro: In his role as a mentor and coach to entrepreneurs, serial-entrepreneur Jeremy B. Shapiro helps small business owners make the transition from “solopreneur” to “business owner” – an important distinction that many entrepreneurs can easily miss when working “in” their business instead of “on” their business.

Since 1998, through structured masterminding, one-on-one coaching, and consulting work, Jeremy has been helping entrepreneurs discover the core strengths in themselves and their business, and realize their true potential combining passion and expertise to grow their businesses and attain the freedom they deserve.

Episode 44: It’s no secret that typical “VSL to Book-a-Call” Funnels are currently suffering from high ad costs and low show rates.

Outrageous promises and too-good-to-be-true guarantees have taken a good concept and made the target audience so skeptical of them, that the ROI is almost impossible to realize right now.

So, what’s the next strategy you should be pivoting to that will generate quality leads that actually show up for their appointments?

In this episode, Brook Bishop explains how he’s been using low-ticket, self-liquidating-offers (SLO) to generate buyer-leads at ZERO ad cost, which lead to a 30% close rate on his high-ticket offers.

He takes us step-by-step through his funnel steps, his follow-up and nurture process, and also takes us inside the ad and funnel metrics you need to hit in order to make the whole process as profitable as possible.
