All right, 45 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: let's all, so what's your question? Girl? You all understand 46 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: what you want to know? 47 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you're grateful to be here. 48 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: So one of my questions would be, because I do 49 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 3: it online ministry with my husband, my question is and 50 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: starting a podcast, what do you think is the best 51 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 3: strategy and starting that? And also it's probably two part 52 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: doing our online courses, like what would be the best 53 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: strategy strategy to start that. 54 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: Let's to the podcast first and then all in courses second, 55 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: because you're right, that's two good questions. So okay, starting podcasts, 56 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: so let's sell you want to do one with your husband, 57 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: you both want to do one. 58 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 2: Yes, and separately mee for dealing with like with women. 59 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So either way, if anybody's interested in starting 60 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: a podcast, first get clear about what is your specific 61 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: topic that you want to lean into, you know, because 62 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: that's going to help you for people to find you. 63 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: So there are podcasts about like So this podcast is 64 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: specifically especially for black and brown women, although we don't 65 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: turn anyone away, and I met a guy yesterday that 66 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: was an avid listener. But when we were creating the podcast, 67 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: in our head, it was like we wanted a safe 68 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: space for black and brown women to learn about money, business, career, 69 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: personal finances. So it's like So get clear on the 70 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: subject matter of your podcast, get clear on your the 71 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: audience that you envision in listening to now, Like I said, 72 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: for me, it's black and brown women between the ages 73 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: of twenty five and I will say like sixty. You know, 74 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: we have this wide spectrum now. But here's the thing. 75 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean people's husbands listen, men listen on their own, 76 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: white women listen Asian. But that was our cool getting 77 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: clear in your core audience because typically what happens is 78 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: that your core audience will tap their their best friend 79 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: and might be you know, an Asian woman, their husband 80 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: might be a white man there, you. 81 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: Know what I mean? 82 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: So what's so awesome about getting really clear on who 83 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: your audiences. That's the audience that you initially speak to, 84 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: but they bring in other people with them, so we 85 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: don't turn anyone away. But getting clear on that, if 86 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: you say you speak to everyone, you're gonna end upeaking 87 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: to no one. So what am I talking about? Who 88 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: am I speak specifically talking to? And they're gonna bring 89 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: another people with them. Another thing that you want to 90 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: consider is what is my cadence? Do I want to 91 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: do a weekly podcast every two weeks? Because Consistency is 92 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why people say or don't stay 93 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: when it comes time to listen to a podcast, So 94 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: you want to be really consistent and when is it 95 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: going to land? So when Many and I first started, 96 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: I want to say, our podcast used to come out 97 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 1: on Mondays. I think now we're on Wednesdays and Fridays. 98 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: And before up until like a year or so ago, 99 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: we just had a weekly episode on Wednesdays, and now 100 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: we have our regular episode on Wednesday, and then we 101 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: have a BAQA, which is what we're doing now, a 102 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: Brown Ambition Question and Answer on Fridays now. But the 103 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: good thing is Michelle, is that we tape both on 104 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: one day, you know, so we'll tape both the regular 105 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: episode and the BAQA on the same day and then 106 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: but then that means we get to then post on 107 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Wednesday and Friday, and it makes the episodes a little 108 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: bit shorter because everything is all about analytics and the 109 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: way your podcast kind of gets seen and heard is 110 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: how long or how much of the podcast are people 111 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: listening to. And we found that we had two distinct audiences. 112 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: We had people who love to hear me and Mandy 113 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: chat about our lives, and what's happening in the economy 114 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: and finance. And then we had people who really loved 115 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: the part and we answered questions, so we separated that 116 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: to two different episodes, and so some people listen to 117 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: both and some people just want to listen to the question. 118 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: Some people want to hit the chat down. And so 119 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: you don't have to do all that, but just consider, like, 120 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, what day is my podcast going to come out, 121 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: so you know you can be consistent every single Wednesday, 122 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: every Sunday, every whatever. 123 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 2: You know. Yes, that's what I think they consider. 124 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: And you want to have a number of podcasts in 125 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: the can. This is something that I learned from Mandy 126 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: is we had maybe three or four podcasts that we 127 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: pre recorded and uploaded them to the sites like podcast 128 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: like Spotify and things before we had our first official 129 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: like hey, I have a new podcast, because it allows 130 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: people when they see, oh, you have a new one, 131 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: that they have something to grab on to, like, oh, 132 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: even though she's just now letting us know she has 133 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: a podcast, there's already like three or four podcasts like 134 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: you know in the can here, So you know, I 135 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: want to listen to the ones that she had already 136 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: pre previously recorded, so have some pre recorded. So when 137 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: considering doing a podcast, those are the things do you 138 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: want to really ask yourself? Do I have the space 139 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: to record weekly or bi weekly or whatever? Ideally most 140 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: people like to hear a new episode a week, you know, 141 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: So do I have the space to record weekly? What 142 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: day is it going to come out? Who's the audience 143 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: that I'm speaking to? And also too, you have to 144 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: ask yourself like what about editing? You know, those are 145 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: things like Mandy used to do that I don't know 146 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: how to do that, y'll you know, like who is 147 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: going to edit? You know, like the good things you 148 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: can use sites like fiver and things if you want to, 149 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, look for like fairly reasonably priced people to 150 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: edit your podcast. So you'll have to ask who can 151 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: help me edit and upload them to the sites like 152 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: like Spotify, like you know, Apple, iTunes and there are 153 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: other sites that you know you want to upload your 154 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: podcast to. So so finding an editor, like I said, 155 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: I would use like five r F I v E 156 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: r R is a great site for when you're looking 157 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: to have people do anything really but especially like techy 158 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: kind of things that you don't know how to do. 159 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: You know, but but yeah, like you know, like I 160 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: that's where I would start is find my editor, decide 161 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: what I want to talk about, when I wanted to 162 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: come out, and who my audience is, and know that 163 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: it'd probably be like a slow little run. But you know, 164 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: if it's interesting and it's good, then people will start 165 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: to listen. 166 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: You know. 167 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: That's why I would started. I was looking to start 168 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: a podcast. But number one thing with podcasts, consistency is key. 169 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: You know, like if you are not consistent, I mean 170 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: I don't. I mean I've had podcasts that I really 171 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: love listening to and it's like they're always out, Oh 172 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm out of here, and I'm out of here. I'm like, 173 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: oh girl, nevermind my e because you know, like I 174 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: get excited and I don't want to get invested into 175 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: something well I'm not even going to be able to 176 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: see and hear it later, you know. And so so yeah, 177 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: well what made you think of you know, like, what 178 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: made you think that you might want to get into podcasting? 179 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: First of all, because of the ministry that my husband 180 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: and I do Inspired Life Ministries. We do a marriage 181 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 3: ministry on Mondays and then Bible study on Wednesdays, and 182 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 3: then we do a service, and I thought that it 183 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 3: would be good because I am one of your mentees 184 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 3: as well. 185 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: As a dream catcher. 186 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 3: Hey, yes, and so I just thought that it would 187 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: be nice to be able to go in a space 188 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 3: with the marriage with couples, but also in a separate 189 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 3: space with just me and women. 190 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: And so I'm like you, I take my notes, yes, 191 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: write down. I love some things like that. 192 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: So that's one of the reasons why I wanted to 193 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: start a podcast. I can agree in terms of like 194 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 3: you want to be consistent, like that's very important, and 195 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 3: being able to identify because these are some of the 196 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: things that I've already learned with the uploads that you do, 197 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: me following you and just being a part of the 198 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: liver Rich Academy and different things like that and Patreon. 199 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: I love that. 200 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: So what Lachelle's talking about if you are new to 201 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: the crew is that, yes, I teach financial education. Obviously 202 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: you know I have the Liverature Academy, but as of 203 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: last year I think I started I think it was 204 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: last year I started the mentee program. Which if there 205 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: were so many women, especially who like Tiffany, can you 206 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: mentor me in business? Because I've been in business for 207 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: over fifteen years, made nearly fifty million dollars in business. 208 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: In those fifteen years, I've helped my mentees that I 209 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: see like in person and talk to on the phone, 210 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: helped them make six figures some even seven figures annually. 211 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: And so a lot of people have asked me if 212 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: I can mentor them, But I have like fifteen like 213 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: mentees that I connect with regularly, So it just got 214 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: to be overwhelming. But you know, if you know me, 215 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: the teacher me hated to turn people away. And so 216 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: I say, what if I could find a platform where 217 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: I can mentor more like group mentoring. And so I 218 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: found a platform called Patreon, and it's twenty bucks a month. 219 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: You can pay annually and get ten percent off and 220 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: also the annual people actually get like, I'm your front alshall. 221 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: You said you're in DC, where you're from DC, and 222 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: you're in Maryland. I'm actually here in DC right now 223 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: because I did. I had a mentee dinner. So that's 224 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: one of the benefits of being a mentee is that 225 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: when I have someplace to go, because I did a 226 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: wealth walk in Maryland yesterday, and a wealth walk is 227 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: just it's just this free meetup where because I feel like, 228 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: you know, a black woman, I want us to get outside, 229 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: I want us to get healthy, I want I love 230 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: to walk. And so we literally find an awesome place, 231 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: like an awesome park to walk for free, and then 232 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: afterwards we talk about money. And so the walk is 233 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: about forty five minutes an hour, the talk is about 234 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: forty five minutes for an hour. Last yesterday was really special. 235 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: A friend of mine, will Jiwando, is the councilman at large, 236 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: and oh, I forget what in Maryland? I forget which 237 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: his county is. So anyway, he came to talk to 238 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: us about because so much of the financial struggles that 239 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: we have as as black and brown communities is as 240 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: a result of policies, and so I wanted him to 241 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: talk to us about like what can we do, how 242 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: do we vote? What can we ask for? So it 243 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: was just a great wealth talk. After the walk, I 244 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: think I want to actually call a wealth walk and 245 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: talk now because it was so great, you know. So anyway, 246 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: I was here for that. So when I go to 247 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: speak somewhere, we do something. I ask myself, are there 248 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: any mentors in the area, And then we have dinner. 249 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: It was about twenty five of us, and it was 250 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: so nice, like you get to like ask questions about 251 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: your business. Everyone gets to introduce themselves and you know 252 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: what their business is, what they need help with. I mean, 253 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: people were like, oh, there were women there who were 254 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: like executives at companies. They were women there who are 255 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: high up in the education system who were helping each 256 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: other out. Then afterwards, I post on our private Patreon 257 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: of the picture of the Mente dinner, and then I 258 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: post I have this spreadsheet that's broken down by state 259 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: of like the women who not just the women who 260 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: are at the Menti dinner, but by state, who's in 261 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: your state, what's their LinkedIn, what's their business? So you 262 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: can connect and navigate that way. So it was just 263 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: a really awesome time. And if you're interested in being 264 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: a mentee, like Lachelle and like I want to say, 265 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: we have thirty eight hundred mentees, which is amazing. Like 266 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: I said, it's only twenty bucks a month. You can 267 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: pay monthly, you can pay annually and save some money. 268 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: And the benefit of paying annually is that you get 269 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: whenever I do stuff in person, you get first because 270 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: the tickets always sell out. So I just I just 271 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: asked people to just to cover their dinner because it 272 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: got to be too expensive when I was treating everybody, 273 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: and so so you just you know, the tickets, which 274 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: is just like the coverage of your dinner. When I 275 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: do mentee meetups, you get the first half of the tickets. 276 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: I let the annual members buy them first, and then 277 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: what's left over, you know, everybody else can kind of 278 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: like get them. But yeah you can. You can join us, 279 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: all thirty eight hundred of us over at my mentor 280 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: Tiffany dot com.

So you had a second court Well, 286 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, actually let's jump to break commercial breakles Shelle, 287 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: and we'll get your second question answered because I'd love 288 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: to get more details about what kind of course you're 289 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: thinking about, and so I can give you some mentorship 290 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: advice about you know what I have found the best 291 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: way of going about launching a course. So when we 292 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: write back and black and Brown all right, and we 293 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: are back in black and Brown ambition and we are 294 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: in the still on today with Lechelle. Mandy's out and 295 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: still tending to have baby. So we have Lachelle in 296 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: the studio and she is a mentee at mymntor Tiffany 297 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: dot com. And she has a question about courses. So 298 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: tell me your question about courses courses, Lachelle. 299 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: So I would like to know what is the best 300 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: way to start the online course? 301 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: So get let me ask you some questions. So what 302 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: are you thinking? Are you thinking about a series of 303 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: courses like a one off course? Give me an idea 304 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: of like what it would look like if I was 305 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: going to sign up for one of your courses. 306 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 3: So I'm thinking about doing an online course for women 307 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 3: as it relates to prayer, their prayer life, how they 308 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 3: can strengthen their prayer life. 309 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: So okay, So if I was going to sign let's 310 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: just let's just I'm gonna rename your course real quick. 311 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: So the course is called Powerful Prayer Course. I'm just 312 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: making it up, the Powerful Prayer Course. Now, is the 313 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: Powerful Prayer Course a one off course like a three 314 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: week long course? Is it something that we'll be doing 315 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: month to month a month, forever and ever and ever, 316 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: as long as you you know, as long as the 317 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: school is open. So what does that look like? Like 318 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: am I purchasing it? And then how long do I 319 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: have access? So break that down for me. 320 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 3: So I would like to start it off with like 321 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 3: maybe just a three step like run it for like 322 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: three weeks, and then build from there. Also maybe offer 323 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: something free for them to come in to be able 324 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 3: to join it, and that they would have access. 325 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: To it forever and ever. 326 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, that makes sense. So it's truly a course, 327 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: not a school. So for example, for those of you listening, 328 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, like I have the Literature Academy, which is 329 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: a school and it is subscription like of gym membership, 330 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: so they pay months and month to month a month. 331 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: So the course, our main course in the Literature Academy 332 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: is the Fundamentals course. It takes about a you know, 333 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: like a year long course, but people typically stay because 334 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: we also have a community. We also have monthly lives, 335 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: but that's different. That's a school. So what Lachelle is 336 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: talking about is a course, like a one off course. 337 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: Someone's able to purchase it. And you get to keep it. Okay. 338 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: So that's a different launch method than if you were 339 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: going to do like a school. So let's chat through 340 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: the course. So one, you would have to think to yourself, 341 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: what is well one well first, it thinks first is 342 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: more than anything with any business. I like for people 343 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: while they're building, what everything they're building is to start 344 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: to build community around whatever it is you're wanting to do. 345 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: You know, we talk about that all the time as mentis, 346 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, and I tell you you guys that because 347 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense to have this amazing thing and 348 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: no one's buying it because they're like, who what? So 349 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: why you're building your course? Start to ask yourself, Lachelle, 350 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: who is in my community? So if it's women in prayer, 351 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: so you want godly women, you know, and you're like, okay, 352 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: especially in the United States. You know, I'm just making 353 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: this up between what age and what age or getting 354 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: clear and what can I do for them? 355 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 2: Now? 356 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: Can I create a group? Is it a Facebook group 357 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: where they can hang out? You know, I use mighty networks, 358 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: but mighty networks costs, So you would have to figure 359 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: out where do you want your community to hang out? 360 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: While you're building this thing for them because you also 361 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: want them to have a saying what you're building. So 362 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: let's just say, for the sake of of ease, you 363 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: decide to create a Facebook group where the women can 364 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: like start to talk. So you would, you know, through church, 365 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: through your ministry, through connections maybe with other churches, you 366 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: can start to create a free Facebook group where maybe 367 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: the women there, you know, they can start to connect 368 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: with each other talking about prayer, what's working, what's not working, 369 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: where they're having struggles, and when you're there, you can 370 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 1: start to share. I want to build a course for 371 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: powerful prayer that has helped myself in these ways. You 372 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: see what I mean? And here's what I'm thinking. Community 373 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: of amazing women that I've assembled. What do you think 374 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: about this? And they can give some feedback, so as 375 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: you're developing it, you're not guessing. You know, this is 376 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: what they're wanting. 377 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 2: You know. 378 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: Here are the three steps I think I think I 379 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: think are most powerful for prayer, connection with God clearly, 380 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: clarity of mind, you know, ease of spear. I'm just 381 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: making these things up. You know, what do you you know? Like, 382 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: what do you guys think? And so as you're building it. 383 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: You know, you're letting them know, Okay, the course is 384 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: going to be available, you know, July fourth. I'm just 385 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: making it up, you know, So that way they can 386 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 1: get ready. They know, one, you've been getting feedback from them, 387 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: so they're not shocked, like what course, because you created 388 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: this awesome free community. You've already give them some tools 389 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: and resources. Maybe you create like a checklist for them. 390 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: Maybe you go live once a month with them, or 391 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: once every two weeks with them. You really want to 392 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: pour into your community. You want to make deposits before 393 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: you act for any withdrawal, you know. And then so 394 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,959 Speaker 1: when the course comes out, you let them know when 395 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: it's going to come out, and you know what the 396 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: price is going to be. And I like to put 397 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: what I call the squeeze. So the squeeze is you 398 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: have to let people. People have to make a decision 399 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: whether they're going to join it. They don't have to. 400 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: The good thing is they can be part of your 401 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: free group either way, you know. And so it's like, Okay, 402 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: the course is gonna come out. It's only a three recourse, 403 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: so it's going to start, you know, July fifth and 404 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: end August fifth, so if it's going to start July fifth, 405 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: the cut off day to sign up is the seventh, 406 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: because that's why we're really going to start. So that 407 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: way people know, like, if I'm gonna buy this course, 408 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: I only have until this time because I'm going to 409 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: be doing this course with Michelle and the rest of 410 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: the girls, so I need to make a decision. So 411 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: having a cutoff time is a great way to have 412 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: people make the decision now and then you close the doors. 413 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: It's really important that you create an environment where people 414 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: have to make a decision, so you know, like if 415 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: you're saying the course is going to go and sell 416 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: on the fifth, because on the tenth we are doing 417 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: it together, so you have I usually don't like to 418 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: give people more than like three days to make a 419 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: decision whether they're going to lock in. And then it closes, 420 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: and you know there'll be people who are like, Okay, 421 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: let me see how people love it, and then you 422 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: do your best to make sure that the people who 423 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: purchased your course they're in there, they're loving it. Whatever 424 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: it looks like. You know, it's the course itself, whether 425 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: you're going live with them once a week, once every 426 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: the other week, or whatever. During your three week course, 427 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 1: you just pour your best into it. And then when 428 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: it's done, you know, you just ask them in that 429 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: free group, you know, can you just share and post like, 430 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, some of them amazing turnaround that you have 431 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: or how you loved it or whatever. Because then the 432 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: women who did not sign up, which is okay, they're like, oh, 433 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: good to know was amazing. The next time lets Shelle 434 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: offers it, I'm for sure signing up. 435 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 2: You see. 436 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: And so that's one of the best ways, you know, 437 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: because it's like you build this community, you develop something 438 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: alongside of them, you share with them, they purchase or 439 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: they don't, and those that purchase feel really good. And 440 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: so what I would do is the next time is like, 441 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, that first course, so I'm just making up 442 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: a number was twenty five dollars, but the next one 443 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: is going to be thirty dollars, you know, Like so 444 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: if you notice what the Patreons, what did I do? 445 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 2: Right? 446 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: So the first year of Patreon, I was really just 447 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: testing it out and I wasn't sure if it was 448 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: going to be any good. I ain't know, like the 449 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: first year of my mentor Tiffany dot com, and so 450 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: it ended up being really good, and so I said, Okay, 451 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: it's not going to be ten dollars anymore for new people. 452 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: It's going to be twenty. So what did I do? 453 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: I said, this founder member rate of ten dollars a month. 454 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: You could still lock it in up up until two 455 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: or three weeks ago, new people could lock it in, 456 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: but after that it was getting cut off. And we're 457 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 1: going to move to twenty dollars a month. But I 458 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: believe in honoring the people that were here in the beginning. 459 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: So the price that not raised for you, Lachelle and 460 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: the rest of your mentees who've been here. 461 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: You know, I agree and thank you so much. 462 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 3: And when I share it, I tell people like she 463 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 3: over delivers, she shares a wealth of information, and she 464 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 3: could be charging more and people would pay it. 465 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: So Michelle is sharing that like that, you know that 466 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: we over deliver, and certainly I know I could charge 467 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: way more than even the twenty obviously, you know, but 468 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: and maybe next year it'll be thirty. But guess what, 469 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: whatever rate that people lock themselves into, if they're ten 470 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: or they're twenty, that's the way they get to keep 471 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: for as long as they want to stay. With us. Now, 472 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: if you leave and want to come back, then you're 473 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: going to pay whatever the new rate is, because that 474 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: rate is that other rate doesn't exist. Literally we took 475 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: it off Patreon. It doesn't exist anymore. Only like the 476 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: old people are just on a renewing contract without Patreon. 477 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: Super easy to cancel. Literally Patreon, I don't control that. 478 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: Patreon has a button that says cancel. The good thing 479 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 1: what I like about the Patreon platform is that like 480 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: I'm a patron of other people's like there's a ray. 481 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: It has the patreons like five bucks a month. The 482 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: friend Zone, one of my favorite podcasts, has a Patreon, 483 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: and at one point I wasn't using the friend Zone 484 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: as much, so I canceled really easy. It took like 485 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: two seconds to cancel. And then I came back a 486 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,479 Speaker 1: few months later when I kind of missed out on 487 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: some of the things that they were doing. And so 488 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: Patreon makes it very easy to cancel, so you don't 489 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: have to worry about that. You can stay for one month. 490 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: But anyway, what I love is that, you know, with 491 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: the courses, that's what I would consider doing with the course, 492 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: is that I would build my audience at the audience 493 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: to build the course alongside me, you know, share the course, 494 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: let them know that this is the founding rate. You know, 495 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: like it's not going to be like this the next 496 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: time I run it, but you know where you get 497 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: to test it alongside of me.

You know, Oh, I wish 513 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: you had a workshet, Oh let me make one. Canvas 514 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: c a NVA canva dot com. You can make free 515 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: worksheets oh you know, listen, I wish it was a recording. Okay, 516 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: So I use low key. I just use YouTube. If 517 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: you have a Gmail account, it's free. With YouTube, you 518 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: can go live teach your lesson, and you use an 519 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: unlisted link because that link can only be seen by 520 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: people that you share with. So you share it with 521 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: the people who have paid, you know, like an email 522 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: or whatever. You share with the people that paid, and 523 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: people get to watch. And what's so good about it 524 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: is that after you get off of YouTube, you it 525 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: becomes a video automatically, so I ain't got to worry 526 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: about making a video or whatever later. It's like, oh, 527 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: it's already a video. That's what I use for the mentees. 528 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: When I go live with y'all, I use YouTube.
