We're Taking A Break. Here's Why And How You Can Do It Too

Would you say you love money?  Or does it make you feel dirty and guilty even to think about loving money?     I LOVE money.  I love the thrill of making money.  I love so much about money and what it can do for me, both in terms of needs and wants.  I love it. I have no guilt about loving money and I want you to love money too.  You will have heard before that money and happiness are not mutually exclusive, and that life is not black and white.  So how did we come to acquire all these weird feelings around money?  This week on The Shine Show, I’ve dug deep into the history of money and explained how the past has created these screwed-up stories about value, greed, and natural riches.  I find it fascinating and painful, all at once.  It’s time to change the way we create and distribute wealth in the world.  Time to stop trading a steady paycheck in return for showing up.  It’s time to heal our relationship with money. One lipstick at a time.  PS - You can join The Accelerated Launch Bonus Experience by clicking here. $497 gets you everything you need to map out your entire course, build your launch and get it all up in time to launch early in 2023 to a raving crowd who cannot wait to buy from you.

25 Biggest Lessons In Online Marketing I Learned From Amy Porterfield

Why does social media for our business stress us out so much? If you’re like me, then you love endlessly scrolling through other people’s content, there goes a gazillion hours down the rabbit hole. Yet when it comes to posting our own message on the socials.. we see it oh, so differently. Nothing is quick, nothing is good enough and we often hate it. Am I right?  Social media doesn’t need to be like that.  This week on The Shine Show we talk about the one thing that makes it all worthwhile and I can tell you it’s definitely not fake eyelashes or number of likes and it’s certainly not perfect posts.  When we consider that the purpose of social media is to build our email list (hint hint), and we realize that there are many ways to do this with social media playing a very small role, then we totally remove the pressure. Social media is about connection. Nothing more. And of course, when do we make the best connections? When we’re sharing our authentic self. Think of it like dating!  Listen in to hear how to chill and relax your own approach to social media. You get to choose your preferred platform, your favourite message delivery and EXACTLY how and what you communicate with your audience. I want you to choose whichever options help you to be confident and feel like the expert that you truly are. P.S.

3 Lies You Were Told About Hiring An Ads Manager

Imagine working for Tony Robbins and having Amy Porterfield as your manager right at the time when this big, mysterious goldmine known as online courses was just starting to emerge. No need to imagine because this week on The Shine Show, I'm joined by Gina Onativia, who spent 5+ years creating online courses for Tony Robbins before online courses were even a thing!  This gal seriously is one of the pioneers in the industry, which means she's seen it all, from the jaw-dropping, insanely genius marketing ideas to the facepalming, train crash moments. These days, Gina uses her superpowers to help online course creators take their kernel of an idea and create a clever roadmap to popping that baby into a buttery online course! We all have something to give; we all have a lot of passion paired with some killer knowledge that helps others solve significant problems. …..and we wanna get paid for it! But the reality is, passion alone won't pay the bills. There are some common mistakes online course creators make when pulling information out of their heads and turning it into an online course, and this week Gina drops some serious GOLD. She shares her sticky note strategy that'll help you get everything out of your head and into an online course that you're proud to put a hefty price tag on. From finding your niche to creating an irresistible lead magnet that draws in your dream students, let me tell you there is so much value in this week's episode! If you need more of Gina's magic in your life (spoiler alert: you do), check out her podcast, Online Course Creator Incubator over at Course Creation Boutique. You will find heaps of useful resources for your online course, but you will not find anything helpful on Irvator (IYKYK).  PS: You can still snag one of our spots in the 30-Day Intensive Program where you and I work together one-one to prepare you for your next launch. You’ll leave the experience knowing exactly what worked well for you in the past that you should do more of, identify what you should stop doing, and know exactly what ads to run and how to put together your next launch strategy so that you know you are growing your business profitably.

How To Transition Out Of 1-1 Work Without Losing Income

I'm about to admit something big. There have been times when I totally lost my passion for my business.  gasp I know, not everyone will admit to it, but you know I keep things real.  There have been moments where I got sidetracked by so many shiny objects because they seemed more fun.  There have even been times I felt I would rather watch another episode of Real Housewives than answer another email.  Recently I had a huge epiphany that changed everything for me, and if you've at times lost your mojo, it's going to help you too. I used to think all the external factors caused this burnout and exhaustion.  Too many meetings, not enough time or money… you know the old lines we all have running in our minds when we are tired and stressed.  And…..it dawned on me. My burnout has nothing to do with the external factors.  You could land a job as a full-time chocolate taste tester or a professional shoe shopper, but if you don’t tackle those internal issues, everywhere you go, they’ll pop up and steal your joy!  So what do you do when you start feeling blah about your business? How exactly can we deal with the internal stuff? You'll have to tune into this week's episode of The Shine Show to find out.  If you're walking in circles, always coming back to the same frustration, the same exhaustion, the same belief that once you get to your next goal, you'll be happy...stop what you are doing because this episode is especially for you. Tune in now, and let's get your mojo back! Xxx Salome  PS: Want to grow your profits in your next launch or scale up fast?

What To Do When You Don't Like Your Business Anymore

This week we're tackling the golden question….should you be using Facebook's new tech tool CAPI (AKA Conversation API) right now? If you're anything like me, tech isn't your favorite cup of tea. It can be really intimidating trying to figure it all out, and it always feels like as soon as you’re on top of it all, Facebook surprises us all with new updates to decode. (Thaaaannnkkss #not). But no need to decode alone. We’ll unpack everything you need to know in this week's episode of The Shine Show! We've heard that Zucks has been sliding into your inboxes lately with some important updates on CAPI.  First things first…. don't panic!  Secondly…. What the heck is CAPI? CAPI is causing quite the stir in the online marketing world right now. And so it should!  Beyond the slightly uncomfortable change in tech levers &amp; systems, CAPI is excellent news for all online course creators. In a nutshell, it's a game-changing tool that will improve your ads' overall performance and decrease the cost you pay per campaign.  Love that for us! So how exactly can you use CAPI and start amping up those ad results? I'm lucky enough to have three of the smartest cyber cookies I know working on my team. Not only are they geniuses in tech, but they can also explain it in a way that doesn't sound like morse code! This week on the show, Caroline, Amy &amp; Hana take a deep dive into CAPI and give us the full rundown of the new updates, its impact on iOS updates, and how you can start benefiting from it today. Grab a coffee (or something a little stronger if you need, no judgment here), set aside 17 minutes, and let's get techy!

Navigating Fear and Reclaiming Personal Power With Claire Yee

Let's talk about the F word.   Not that F word. I'm talking about Failure.    You've spent months creating an online course. You're finally happy with it. The anticipation. The excitement. The adrenaline. Surely this is YOUR moment…..   But instead of hearing "cha-ching" from your bank account, you hear…..crickets.    UMMMM...what in the Zuckerberg is going on?   Hold on.    Before concluding you're a failure and selling online isn't your calling, or worse, that you're better off shutting down your online course, hear me out:    Failure is a critical part of success.   This week on The Shine Show, I get real with you. After years of experience and all the launches I've helped skyrocket to cyber success, a recent launch of mine flopped!    I know first hand how bad Failure can feel. It's frustrating, confusing, consuming, and demotivating….but Failure means you are one step closer to success. It's simply another way that didn't work!    Even though the results were vastly different to what I was expecting, and at the time I wanted to run away and hide, after unpacking the results I realized it hasn’t been a failure at all.    It’s been a huge learning curve that has opened up doors of phenomenal possibilities and new opportunities to win…big time!   And this isn't some Kumbaya campfire, airy-fairy, woo woo thing I'm telling you to make you feel good. A failed launch is actually a REALLY good thing. It means you have more data and experience, a better idea of where to pivot, and you are closer than ever to reaching success.    There's no need to unpack your results alone!   Tune in to the show and learn how to turn a setback into your greatest comeback, plus all the tea from my recent ‘failed’ launch to help you avoid the mistakes I made.   XXX Salome   P.S If you are a committed online course launcher and you'd love to get the step-by-step formula to scaling your business fast, then The Launch Lounge is the place to be.

159. Your Launch Failed.. Now What?

Diane Evans

The business dream isn't always so dreamy. So how do you continue with confidence when it feels like everyone around you is so uncertain about where you’re going?   This week we're going to get real vulnerable....  We're all about authenticity in The Launch Lounge, and yes, we do share the perceived wins. But we're also committed to keepin’ it real and sharing the perceived losses.   The world tells us success should be instant. So it's no wonder many of us walk around feeling like utter failures because a 6 figure launch didn't happen immediately!   It takes a while for things to start coming together. It takes time before financial results start flying through.   And it's all part of the journey, and it's a really good thing because it allows you to get crystal clear on the bits that are working (and ready to scale) and the bits that are wasting your time and resources.   But I get it. At times, growing an online course can feel like eating dry cardboard. Data, patience, testing, trialing, zero sales....it can feel like all your hard work is going down the drain.   But it's in this very moment when it all feels too hard; you need all the hope, support, understanding, and patience in the world to keep going because you're well on the way to seeing incredible results. Believe me, it’s going to happen!  It's also at this moment when a shiny, bright bajillion-dollar successful launch story can make you want to throw a hammer at your laptop and scream, WHEN IS IT MY TURN!  So this week on The Shine Show, we're going to get honest about the online course journey. The highs, the lows, and everything in between.  My courageous, brilliant student Diane Evans from PhotoFluent transparently &amp; bravely shares her online course journey. Even though her course teaches travellers to take photos they feel proud of, her business journey has been anything but picture perfect. Rather than giving up, Diane has stuck to her vision and found a way to keep the hope alive, find confidence within herself, and stay true to her dream.   If you're losing hope and feeling like things are taking forever to happen, this episode is exactly for you. Don't let the feeling of failure shape your future. Tune in now and hear Diane's story for yourself! It'll inspire you to keep going even when it feels tough.  XXX Salome  P.S. The Launch Lounge doors are opening for a limited time only. One of the things that can make or break your success is the community you surround yourself with. A community that supports you, cheers you on, and understands a growing list is JUST AS exciting as a full bank account. The Launch Lounge will fast track your progress and show you how to get results without wasting time &amp; money along the way. It seriously pays for itself. Spots are strictly limited, so make sure your name is on the waitlist!

158. Learning To Value Slow Progress Over Instant Success When Chasing Your Dreams with Diane Evans

This week on The Shine Show, we’re tackling the number one mistake holding most online course creators back (and what to do if you’ve already made it)!  But first, we’re heading to my kitchen. Recently I set out to bake a cake. I had all my ingredients lined up; my apron was on, the oven was ready, and the instructions were simple (no double tray situations - if you remember back from #quesadillagate).  What could possibly go wrong?  I diligently measured all the ingredients and mixed them nicely into a .....runny, disgusting tasting goop! WHAT THE….. My culinary expert and cooking extraordinaire husband Emil came home to the goopy mess and was determined to solve the case.  Flour, check.  Butter, check.  Eggs, check.  Half a cup of baking powder, check.  "Wait, wait, wait. Half a cup of baking powder?" He burst out laughing. It was on this day I learned a very important, soapy-tasting lesson on the difference between baking soda and baking powder.  In the wrong proportion, this one little ingredient caused my whole cake to be an unwanted, overlooked waste of effort.  But if I had simply tweaked that one ingredient, my cake would have been a huge success, and the whole family would have queued up, ready to savor a slice.  The same goes for an online course. You might have all the right ingredients, but if one thing is slightly out of proportion, your whole online course cake could turn into a giant, unwanted, cyber soap-tasting mess.  Here's the good news.  There's no need to abandon the kitchen and give up on your course creation dreams. By simply tweaking the ingredients and using the correct measurements, you could be back on track to serving delicious, warm, chocolate online course cake that your students will be raving about. This week on The Shine Show, I share the three things every online course creator MUST do to scale their course successfully, including the number one mistake most online course creators make (and how to avoid it).  Ready to learn the secrets behind launching profitably, scaling your business, and creating a ton of moolah?  XXX Salome P.S. The Launch Lounge is where it is all at if you are a serious course creator who is ready to learn how to find more of your ideal students online, launch more profitably and scale your online courses business to 6 and 7 figures without following someone else’s paint by numbers, one size fits all, fly by night strategy. If you are ready to get down and dirty with your funnels and get the feedback you need to implement changes that will help you scale, join us in The Launch Lounge today. Enrollment closes at the end of this week.

157. 3 Things Every Online Marketer Needs To Know To Successfully Scale Their Online Course Funnels

Listen up, DIY designers! If your design strategy has so far been, "go for the pretty things,".... Then LOG OUT OF CANVA because we need to chat! As the old saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words, so what exactly are you saying when it comes to your branding? The cold hard truth is branding has the power to make or break your business.  In this episode of The Shine Show, we have the design genius and creative trendsetter Jacqui Naunton from White Deer.  But first, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Having a designer is ex-pen-sive! When first getting your online course ducks in a row, splashing out for a designer is the last thing you want to do. Especially when design tools (hello #canva) are so accessible these days. But just having a Canva account doesn't magically give you design principles. And these can be the difference between attracting or repelling your dream students.  Being the clever creative cookie she is, Jacqui found a way to share her design skills and teach entrepreneurs how to create their own scroll-stopping, jaw-dropping, memory sticking visual assets! This week Jacqui joins me on the show and very generously shares all the insider design tips and tricks that will take your brand from flop to FAB!  This is one episode you cannot afford to miss, especially if you're a DIY designer.

It’s the smackdown you’ve all been waiting for! In today’s episode, I try my best to answer the question that’s plagued every entrepreneur in the online space for decades: Should I launch a course or a membership? Now, I’ve been on both sides of the tennis court. I’ve launched a course (‘A Lister’) and a membership (‘The Launch Lounge’) and I have many thoughts on which one of them I’d choose and why.  So, in today’s episode of The Shine Show, I take you through my own experiences trying to pick between the two, the fundamental difference between a course and a membership (hint: it has something to do with the body of knowledge at play), and 5 questions you should be asking yourself when you want to choose either one for your next launch.  When you’re done listening to this episode, I hope you have some clarity and can confidently choose between a launch and a membership for the future of your business! Listen to the episode now and send me a DM on Instagram (@salome.schillack) to tell me who wins the launch vs membership smackdown in your books and what you’re going to implement in the future. I LOVE listening to your ideas!
