On today’s episode of Monetize the Mic, Jess and Margy are sharing what they’ve learned after one year of running their group coaching program. Whether or not you have an agency or one on one business, you can add a group coaching program into what you’re already doing. It took a long time for Jess and Margy to pull the trigger on starting this program out of fear that nobody would sign up for it, even though they already had an accomplished and established business offering another service. Margy and Jess list out some questions you should ask yourself before you decide to create a new offering in your business in order to set yourself and potential new program up for success. 

On today’s episode of Monetize the Mic, Jess and Margy are talking about the paradox of more. The paradox of more has been coming up in the business over and over again and Margy realized that some problems don’t need to be solved with addition, but instead by leveraging the resources the business already has. Instead of buying more leads to get more sales, Margy realized they already had so many leads and the sales team was already sitting on gold. The team started to ask different questions in order to tap into the potential of the leads they already accumulated, rather than just buying more. Jess also discusses how this can apply to podcast guesting and shares an example of how she helped a client do more with the interviews she already had. Multiplying instead of adding can do amazing things for your business and can definitely help you get the most out of your team.

On today’s episode of Monetize the Mic, Jess is joined by Melissa Guller, who helps business owners turn their skills into online courses. If you find yourself answering the same question time after time, it might make sense for you to create an online course. Melissa goes over the differences between creating an online course on a website such as Skillshare versus Teachable, what content to include in your course, how to figure out your pricing, and how to think of TikTok as a raffle ticket.
