Online Marketing Made Easy with Amy Porterfield

ICYMI: Instagram dropped another new feature in early August. You may have seen it? It’s the Instagram Reels that keep popping up around every IG corner. 

And, as the curious entrepreneur that I know you are, you’re probably wondering if this is a feature you should be paying attention to and using to grow your audience. 

To help you answer that, I went to my dear friend, Jasmine Star, aka Queen of Instagram!

THE WHAT, HOW, & WHY OF INSTAGRAM REELS

Jasmine will answer some of the questions I’ve seen my audience ask in Facebook groups, a sneak peek into what her content calendar looks like for Instagram, how to come up with five content topic ideas so you can get started with Instagram Reels, and so much more. 

You’re going to walk away with your next action steps for using Instagram Reels to start growing your audience using this new feature!

Have you ever thought of a brilliant digital course topic idea, only to have a follow-up thought that it would never work online?

Maybe like wine tasting, spiritual life coaching, or sex education? If you think these topics wouldn’t convert to a digital course -- think again, my friend!

Because I have four epic examples of how my students have made something unexpected work magnificently online from the courses mentioned above.

All it took was a little self-belief, a digital course, and the right know-how to get in front of the right people. 

You’ll hear how…

  • Andrea de la Mora transitioned her in-person spiritual life coaching online to generate $42,000
  • Caroline Brown generated $20,000 on her very first launch, where she taught sex ed to grown women. 
  • Natalie McLean took the physical experience of wine tasting online to generate over $30,000.
  • Rhea Baliwala’s online course for Spanish-speaking lawyers made $13,000 out of the gate -- despite her audience's uncertainty around learning online. 

My students prove that pretty much anything works as a digital course. Grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and settle in for these awesome stories.

My guest on today’s episode was a corporate girl turned overwhelmed entrepreneur turned entrepreneur with a thriving online business, a lucrative digital course, and the time and freedom to prioritize her family and make an impact far beyond what she ever imagined.

Her name is Jamie Trull, her business is called “Balance CFO,” and you may remember her from episode #280 where I taught you how to do a “Course Validation Call” with her as my Ideal Customer Avatar.

When we first met Jamie, she had left her corporate job to become an entrepreneur so she could have the time and flexibility to be with her little ones.

But working one on one with clients only left her feeling overwhelmed, attached to her phone, and frustrated that she didn’t have the time and energy for her family that she had hoped to gain.

After using the practices she learned in Digital Course Academy, Jamie launched her 5-week course, Financial Fitness Formula, which helps solopreneurs take control of their business finances, and ended up making five-figures.

Maybe you’re thinking, “Amy, this sounds like me! Except for the 5-figure launch part. Teach me how to grow my online business with a successful launch!”

Well, friend, I’d be happy to! To get you started, I want you to go check out my free 3-part videos series which is all about starting and growing your email list.
