You're putting together your membership, you have a great idea, you’re almost ready to do it…Now I want you to promise me something…I want you to just start. I want you to take action! You know, a lot of times we stop ourselves, because we don't have things set up exactly as we want.

Now a lot of people look at Melissa and I's successes, they see the multiple offers that we do, they see all the things and it's very common that people come up to us. And they're like, oh, we want to do you have multiple memberships, you have a bunch of offers and things and what they don't realize it's taken us many years to get here.We actually only put one offer at a time in the marketplace. We tweaked it, we tested it, we got it down to the point that allowed us to freedom in the time and energy and space to then create the next logical step for the next offer.If you just compare and look over at our entire frontal system, you would in a blink go, ”oh, I need to do all of that”.And it's like, no, we didn't just do all of that. Give yourself some grace. You're not racing anyone else. You're on your own race. You're on your own journey. Give yourself permission to just steadily make progress.Resources: Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

How should you price your membership? What type of content and deliverables should you create?When you're considering creating a membership site or any type of offer, start with the price itself. Why? Because if you think about it, if you're doing a $10 month membership, do you think you're going to come up with different content choices than if you started off with $1,000 per month membership? On top of that, consider the perceived value of your offers.An email vs a PDF vs a Facebook live vs 1 on 1 training.Sometimes it's the same amount of time and energy space that you're giving, but the perceived value is much higher. What can you do to purposely control your time, your energy, and your financial resources so you can get the highest return possible?Look at your content, create your membership based on what will be sustainable for you. What can you do that gives the highest perceived value? How can you make your offer, the price point that you want to receive, an incredible offer?

And a lot of times we don't see the value in things that we are passionate about and do really well. It’s only when we engage in conversations with others, that we realize that some of the things that they see in us, we often took for granted because it's just what we do. In this episode, we are talking with Crispina ffrench, entrepreneur, online coaching pioneer, and book author how to turn your passion into a successful business with minimal funds and resources and earn a living by doing something that you love.In addition to being an environmental optimist, Crispina ffrench is an OG Used Clothing Recycler/Up-cycler who began using discarded clothing as raw materials for her collection of stuffed toys called Ragamuffins as a college student in 1987.Two years after graduating from Mass College of Art and Design Crispina’s recycling company grew to manufacture clothing and home goods and employ 40, serving over 350 international retail outlets.In 2009 ffrench’s teaching book The Sweater Chop Shop was published by Storey.  Crispina began teaching her craft and sharing her knowledge about the importance of careful textile consumption.  She has been awarded the SBA’s National Young Entrepreneur of the Year award and been a guest presenter at the Social Venture Network’s annual conference.  Crispina works with large volume textile waste generating companies turning their waste into marketable product.  Her best-known projects are with Patagonia and Eileen Fisher where she initiated the well documented ReWear and ReNew programs.Today Crispina is focused on helping creative textile recycling and up-cycling entrepreneurs build businesses that support their ideal lifestyle while nurturing the planet and building awareness of our textile waste crisis and each individual’s ability to affect change.ResourcesCrispina ffrench Website- UPCYCLE, grow impact, live your ideal Life – How to design a thriving upcycled textile business. Top Membership Niches Guide - Grab our Top Membership Niches Guide to learn more about the best and most lucrative types of memberships and get started with brainstorming how to create the right membership for your business!Online Marketing PodSquad: Our Exclusive Community where we talk all things about Online Marketing!

Not every decision that you make in business is permanent.  You have the power and ability to change things as you want. Remember, you’re the boss of your business! You get to decide how you want to design your membership and how you want to go about things.I encourage you to just get started, take action test, try things, try new things and if something is not going exactly the way that you wanted to go or the way that you envisioned it, you can make a change, it's not permanent! The biggest thing is just getting started. That fear of getting started and things not going exactly as planned, that can hold you back, but don’t let it, keep moving forward. People need what you do and you’re going to make an impact. Don’t hold yourself back wondering about the “what ifs”. You get to decide, so just get started!Resources: Online Marketing PodSquad: Our Exclusive Community where we talk all things about Online Marketing!

The full transformation a lot of times can't happen in a day, it can't happen in a week, it can't even happen in a few weeks! And a lot of times we abandon people with our offers. I want you to truly think about that. The thing that you do and the problem that you solve, are you leaving people out to dry by not allowing them to fully realize the real true transformation that they want and that they need? Sometimes just by us having a lack of an offer in the marketplace, we are shortchanging that transformation itself.That’s why I truly want to recommend, and I want you to really lean in on this, memberships are a great way to help people with that true transformation.This is something that Melissa and I are talking a lot about right now. With a membership you can actually help people make progress step by step to realize the true transformation that they really want to have.So go out and create that full transformation today!

A lot of times people get stuck in their tracks trying to perfect their offer, wait for the perfect moment, or have their fears stand in the way of launching their membership. And then they freeze and lose momentum. In this episode, we are talking with Eric Walrabenstein, best-selling author and renowned educator. He is sharing his inspiring journey, how he overcame his perfectionism, his fears and self-doubt to transition from his real-life yoga studio to online membership, and what he learned about attracting the right audience for your offer. Eric Walrabenstein is a best-selling author, ordained Yoga Master, and nationally-renowned educator in the fields of yoga and meditation. His work focuses on empowering people to practically apply the lesser-known aspects of yoga, beyond the postures, to live lives of more purpose and meaning. He is the founder of Yoga Pura, one of Arizona’s largest yoga schools, the creator of the BOOTSTRAP Yoga Stress-management System developed for the U.S. military, and is the founding director of the BrightLife Yoga Collective. His podcast, This Perfect Moment, is available on Apple and Google Podcast networks.Resources:Make It a Membership -  a program showing you exactly what you need to do in order to turn your offer or your idea into a successful membership Freebie: Yoga's Secret to Calmby Eric Walrabenstein walking you step-by-step through how you can put the powerful pieces of the Secret to Calm to work in your life in just minutes a day. Online Marketing PodSquad: Our Exclusive Community where we talk all things about Online Marketing!

You're special, you have something awesome to share, and you should share that with other people. As entrepreneurs, sometimes we take for granted the knowledge, skills and experiences that we have.“My ideas not good enough.”“I don't sound smart enough.”“I’m not as educated as other people.”I want to remind you that you are special and you are worthy! The skills and experience you have could really take them to that next level of whatever struggle they're having, whatever challenge they're experiencing.If you're holding back because you're feeling a little insecure about it, I'm here to remind you not to hold that back!Resources: Online Marketing PodSquad: Our Exclusive Community where we talk all things about Online Marketing!

Do you want to make a bigger impact? Then you need to listen in.The one thing that Melissa and I have discovered over the last several years is instead of trading time for money, instead of just going after one client for one transaction, one of the best things that we've been able to do for ourselves, our clients and our community was to find a way to work with people on an ongoing basis.Now, we’re working with people that don’t just want a quick fix. But they are actually experiencing a true transformation that takes time, that takes energy, that takes feedback.The quick fix isn’t going to get you the impactful results; it's the long term that's going to get a win for everyone!That’s why when it comes to making impact, we strongly recommend looking into the recurring model for your business, look into subscriptions or memberships because that's where the longevity is.That's going to get rid of the peaks and valleys and create a steady income stream so that you can be more present, be able to show up, help yourself, your family, and also, because you show up as a better and less stressed person, you then can serve your people, your community and make a ripple effect in the community, in the world where it's a win win for everyone all the way around!Think memberships, think recurring, think subscriptions when you want to make a greater and bigger impact.

One of the coolest things about having a membership is that you get to design it how you want!A lot of times when people think of memberships, they automatically think there has to be community, you have to have this many resources dropped each month, you have to have a certain content rhythm and that's just not the case for all memberships.Forget about those expectations.Memberships come in all different shapes and sizes and as the awesome entrepreneur business owner that you are, you get to design it how it makes sense for you!Resources: Online Marketing PodSquad: Our Exclusive Community where we talk all things about Online Marketing!

I want to give you permission to launch. Put your promotion or your offer out into the world!Sometimes we get caught up in our head and we're sitting here in a state of parallelization, looking around for some big sign, some big thing in the world to say, “it's okay, we're going to be okay.”Now here's the thing though, nothing is permanent. So, whatever you put into the market today does not necessarily mean that's what it needs to be in the future. Things can change. Your membership can evolve as you do.So go ahead, let's launch!

A lot of us get caught up in perfectionism. We have to have our membership programs done perfectly.  Then when we finally take our offer into the market, there are crickets because it's not based on what your audience actually wanted.  In this episode, we are discussing with award-winning online marketer and book author Dr. Mary Barbera why you should not let perfectionism stop you from simply putting your membership out there, regardless of the number of followers you have and how you can use market feedback to make sure that what you offer is perfectly aligned with what people are looking for. Dr. Mary Barbera “fell” into the autism world in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas was diagnosed with autism. Since then, Mary transformed from a confused and overwhelmed parent to a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author.  After earning a PhD, Mary launched her first online course in early 2015 and later built additional courses and a membership program to help both parents and autism professionals.  In her vlogs, podcasts, books, webinars, and online courses, Mary teaches her unique step-by-step system and method to help children with autism (or signs of autism) talk more while reducing tantrums and other problem behaviors.  Mary’s latest book Turn Autism Around was published in 2021 by Hay House and is helping parents and professionals start turning things around for young children with early signs of autism and older children with an autism diagnosis who are still struggling with talking, tantrums, eating, sleeping and potty training.   Resources:Free Online Workshops by Dr. Mary Barbera - Parents and Pros in the autism world can attend a free online workshop to learn more about joining Mary Barbera’s courses and communityMake It a Membership -  a program showing you exactly what you need to do in order to turn your offer or your idea into a successful membership  Online Marketing PodSquad: Our Exclusive Community where we talk all things about Online Marketing!

You're the boss of your business so you get to decide what it looks like and how it feels.I think a lot of times we get stuck in this mentality that we have to do things a certain way, because that's what everyone says that we're supposed to do.But at the end of the day, we are building an online business that's supposed to serve us to serve ourselves, to serve our family, to allow us to make a bigger impact, to allow us to create financial freedom, time freedom for ourselves, and that means being the boss of our business.Remember that as you're creating your awesome offers, you get to be the boss, you get to decide what makes sense for you, your business, your life, your family, yourself. Don't create an offer you don't like, be intentional about the offers that you create, be intentional with the time you put into it, the energy put into it, the financial resources you put into it so that you really can create something that you love.Make sure you keep that in mind as you're creating these awesome offers and do what feels good for you!

When’s the last time you “spring cleaned” your business?We do it in our homes, we do with our cars sometimes to do it personally, right? We need to get rid of the junk. We need to get rid of the anchors that are holding us back. And that's what I would invite you to do. Any day. You don't have to wait till the end of the year. It is not something that you have to have a specific time. At any point in time,you can spring clean your business.What are the things that possibly are no longer serving you that allow you to lean into the future, leading to new and better possibilities because you up that anchor, you cut the string, you're stop being tethered from past decisions that are possibly not even serving you today?Maybe you're making commitments and doing things on a daily basis that are not really moving the needle and it’s not making progress for you. It's because of that anchor to the past, that commitment, those things that don't even serve you today that are still holding you back.So, to move forward, we need to lift that anchor, we need to clean out the ship, we need to spring clean our business.Resources: Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

We need to know what our customers are talking about, what they're thinking about where they are in their own journey so that we can align our offers, align our messaging, and attract the right people into our world.The way to get that is to give people the time. Listen and connect.Stop treating everybody like a number.Don't scale to fail. Don’t build your list, instead build your connections.

Now a lot of people look at Melissa and I's successes, they see the multiple offers that we do, they see all the things and it's very common that people come up to us. And they're like, oh, we want to do you have multiple memberships, you have a bunch of offers and things and what they don't realize it's taken us many years to get here.We actually only put one offer at a time in the marketplace. We tweaked it, we tested it, we got it down to the point that allowed us to freedom in the time and energy and space to then create the next logical step for the next offer.If you just compare and look over at our entire frontal system, you would in a blink go, ”oh, I need to do all of that”.And it's like, no, we didn't just do all of that.

With marketing, one of the ways that you can get back the expenses that you've paid into, some of your paid advertising to acquire clients, is to have a lot of smaller products to offer your audience as a way to work with them but also, it's going to recoup that cost. When you're thinking about ways to create small offers and ways to work with your audience, think about the pain points that they have. What is one small thing that you can solve for them with an offer?- Maybe it's an e-book that's going to explain the process that you do.- Maybe it's a tutorial of you showing a step-by-step process.A lot of times we over-complicate our offers and thinking that has to be this major, big thing and of course as entrepreneurs and online business owners, a lot of us have those signature programs. But keep in mind there are a lot of opportunities to work with our audiences with smaller offers, offers that are very specific and are going to solve a specific problem for them. What are some different ways that you can work with your audience with smaller offers?

Get paid to build your email list.When we go and acquire something, when we consume something, we're expected to pay, right?But here in the internet marketing space, a lot of people get tripped up on what's sold on to them and that's build a list, build a list, build a list, nurture, nurture, nurture, because that builds the vanity metric.That's something that is something that's measurable for a lot of influencers out there to get you to do. And I'm going to tell you at the end of the day, most of your clientele most likely is not in this internet marketing bubble, they're not conditioned this way. You have the opportunity to get paid as you build your email list. After all, this is what happens in the real world. You get contact information from people that are buyers, not people that are freebie seekers. So whenever you're doing your opt ins, whenever you're doing those initial offers, you could have different types of offers that you do that will allow the person to pull their wallet out in advance, sooner in the relationship versus way later in the relationship. Now, what that will allow you to do is then you're going to be able to pre finance your list building because as you spend money to get new eyeballs on your offers, on your things, you are then able to sell a different type of offer, typically a smaller promise, a smaller offer initially compared to your big offer, your big course, coaching, program, membership that you have the different offers that we all have in the backarsenal.And while that happens you will actually, as your email list grows, the money will be coming back in, the money will be coming back in, you'll be able to reinvest it. It's like having an ATM machine versus a slot machine when it comes to doing your ads.I want you to keep in mind that you can look at your funnel differently.You can look at your marketing strategy completely differently, if you change your mindset and start thinking more and ask yourself the question, “how can I get paid sooner? How can I get paid to build my email list?” Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

A lot of times when people do marketing and they're testing things out, they change a lot of elements all at one time.They might change a photo or a headline or the body copy, whether it's for a paid ad, whether for it's an organic post or a sales page, and then when you get a really great result, which is awesome, you're not exactly sure how you got there.That isn’t going to work. You can't replicate it; you can't duplicate it. You can’t use that information moving forward.When you are testing any aspect of your marketing funnel, it's important to test one thing at a time.

Do you want to improve your marketing? Do you want it to get better?

So, there's a ratio there, there's a percentage there. Everybody that goes to your landing page or your sales page are not going to buy or not going to opt in.
