    Let’s start out today with a riddle. What item in your business can save you time and energy, reduce errors and omissions in your work, help you achieve more brand consistency, and boost your overall productivity and sense of accomplishment?

    If you just guessed templates, then give yourself a gold star.

    As we discussed in the last episode, templates can help your business in a number of ways. Using templates, you don’t need to create the same messages over and over again. This saves time and streamlines your online business, freeing you up to focus on more important things. Templates also help to reduce errors and boost your branding. With templates, it’s so much easier to keep your branding elements consistent across different platforms and types of content.

    And you can implement templates in literally all areas of your business.

    So today, I’m sharing my three favorite places to capitalize on the power of templates to streamline your online business and achieve brand consistency.

    ABOUT THE PODCAST:

    Content Creation Made Simple™ was born out of retirement from 30 years of teaching, extra time on my hands, the desire to do something creative, and the realization that I could do all this and more with an online business. (Something that wasn’t even possible back when I began teaching.)

    I devoured everything I could find online about starting a business, hoarded way too many resources, and collected/tried tool after tool. My “learning addiction” was real. (And a problem keeping me from taking action.)

    Hopping from niche to niche, mentor to mentor, and from one business idea to the next, I chased the “shiny objects” and shifted focus way too many times.

    What a mess everything was. No organization, no roadmap, lapsed motivation, and so much frustration & overwhelm. I knew I had to do something before my husband stopped supporting my “expensive hobby.” I desperately needed to put a plan into action.

    So, pulling myself together, I got my “learning addiction” under control and chose only a couple of mentors to learn from. I harnessed the organizational expert I’d been in my former teaching days and got everything organized into a simple online system. And I realized that this learning experience was God’s way of leading me to where I am today.

    I knew that I couldn’t possibly be the only older (‘er mature-ish) retired teacher that’s floundered in this digital business space. So I created Content Creation Made Simple™ to help other midlife Christian entrepreneurs (like you). I want to save you all that time and frustration by sharing the signature 3-step framework that I created to simplify the content creation system inside your online course business. If you're ready to skip to the front of the line, then you're in the right place!

    Do you have lots of great ideas, lots of great content you want to share, but getting started and getting something on the page stops you in your tracks? Do you feel like if the whole process were easier and faster, then you’d have less mind drama about getting started and getting your ideas out into the world as a female Christian Entrepreneur?

    If this sounds like you, then today you’re in for a treat. Because I’ve got your back, sister. I’m sharing the super easy formula I use to easily, quickly, and consistently pump out content week after week. Podcasting + Simplified Formula = Being a content creation machine! Want to get started sharing your passion and talents with the world consistently with less stress and overwhelm? Let’s dive in.

    —------------------------

    If you’re thinking - hmmm, maybe a podcast is what I’m missing - but you’re not sure how to even begin? Go grab Stef’s course, Podcast Pro University, and get your podcast up and running within as little as 30 days or less.

    I absolutely loved PPU and can attest to how easy, yet thorough, the course is. I originally bought a different podcasting course and was utterly disappointed. Do you hate to waste money as much as I do? With Stefanie Gass, you’re never disappointed. Trust me.

    So go grab PPU at https://bit.ly/stef-courses and get that podcast started. What are you waiting for?

    Almost everywhere online you’re hearing if you want to be successful selling online courses, you have to go big. I mean big, like signature courses & programs. Huge launches with webinars and funnels, all taking months to create & actually launch. Exhaustion and overwhelm - inevitable. And promises of big profits.

    The sad truth is, for every course launch success, there are dozens—maybe even hundreds—of course creators who don’t earn five figures in a weekend, and many, many more who don’t even recoup the cost of their launch, much less make a profit.

    But wait. Don’t sag your shoulders and walk away. You can be extremely successful without all that work and overwhelm and stress and exhaustion. Wanna know how? I’m going to give you some simple steps to building a profitable online course business, one mini-course at a time.

    --------------------------

    If you’re ready for a deep dive into creating a profitable mini course business, then head over to https://bit.ly/tcempire and purchase Tiny Course Empire to help you avoid the overwhelm and create courses your ideal client will love.

    Do you have too much to do and too little time? (Are you thinking “Duh” right now?)

    Do you spend tons of time trying to remember the steps to complete a business activity without forgetting an important step and having to go back and redo something? I know when that happens to me, I get really frustrated by the time wasted having to go back and fix mistakes. And many times it involves having to go back and start from scratch.

    Online entrepreneurs just like you face this problem every day. And it can prevent you from growing your online business and spending time on the tasks that really matter. Keep you from achieving success. Not to mention add to the stress and overwhelm you may already be feeling.

Emails Made Easy

I just listened to the episode all about how to make your email marketing fun, easy, and really add value to your person rather than send them another spammy sales pitch. Amazing! Go check it out! You will love it! - from The Busy Vibrant Mom
