How are you guys doing? How are you doing my friends, those of you, especially their distance learning or homeschooling right now, because I'll tell you what the struggle bus be legit over here, but we're making do we're having fun. I'm blessed to have a great teacher with lots of patience for my son. And then my husband is coworking from home with me, just all the amen. Thank you, Lord. I want to hear how it's going for you guys. Come pop into my inbox and tell me all the things. Anyway, my inbox on Instagram, my DMs come to the DMs girl. Anyway, today in this quick bonus episode, I am getting a question. A lot of you are wondering, should I create a mini offer, a small mini course first as my first passive product? Or should I create my full on signature program? So I'm going to address that question right here right now. And I'm going to hopefully get you some clarity on that. So the first thing I want to talk to you about is when to create a course period. When do you create a path? Actually, let's rewind. Let's go ground zero. What passive product should you create? Right? Cause you can do an ebook. You can do a workbook. You could do audios that cost. You could do a workshop or you can do an eCourse. I have done all of the above. I've done everything when it comes to passive revenue. Okay? And this is excluding a membership group because that is not passive. That is time for money. This is not including coaching. Cause again, that's time for money. This is not including a mastermind. That is time for money. This is talking about passive revenue, creating something that makes you money without you having to exchange your time, energy effort for it. My favorite of all our courses. Why? Because when you create an ebook, you gotta price it like a book. I have a book that I created when I was specifically coaching network, marketers called the attraction girl bosses guide to attraction marketing. It's amazing. It's like 50 some pages. It's got links and downloads and trainings. And guess how much it is guys. It's like $9. How many little handbooks does a girl got sell to make a Hondo, right? Like you just can't scale. If your product line is super inexpensive and here's the situation. It also took a ton of time to create that. I had to write a book, Oh my gosh. I had to put in the links I had to format it's insanity versus you guys. Two days ago, I put together the course craft or masterclass, which is teaching you guys how to create a course. And I took a training I already did for my mastermind group. I already had the slides for it, created it. It's 60 minutes. I added an introduction video. I then added what else? A Canva tutorial of how to create the logo and the checklist and all of that. And I plugged it all together, popped it into teachable, which I already had. And in one day I had another product. I had a mini course, so much easier. And that product right now for a limited time is 97 bucks. I would have had to sell nine or 10 of my books in order to make that amount of profit more. Cause it's nine bucks. You do, you guys, you know, 11, 12, 13 versus one mini course. Okay. So there's my answer. I prefer courses. Now those of you that are freaking out and you're like, Oh, but Steph, I can't be on video. I can't be on video. Don't be on video, right? Like, like one of my mastermind clients, Jacqueline, Jacqueline, Howard. I see you. You don't want to be on video booboo. That's okay. Minimize the video and speak to the slides. You guys do not have to be on video to have a course. So if that makes any of you feel better permission granted. So now that we've answered that, the next question I'm getting is should I do a mini course or should I do a signature course? And when should I create the course? So let's start with, when should you have a product? You can have a product you guys from day one. Okay? I don't want you to have a product before you have a podcast because a podcast is what drives the traffic to people buying your course. So podcasts first, as soon as you have a podcast, and if you need a podcast, please podcast pro university.com. You guys, I have a budget and million testimonies that this, this course works and it will get you a podcast up and running and growing in 30 days or less. Okay? If you do the work, come on, come on, girl, you got this podcast, pro university.com. Start a show. That is number one. Why? Because that is how we organically grow traffic. That's how you get found those of you going. I don't have an audience that I could sell a course to it's because you need a podcast. I'm telling you my podcast has, you know, all the things guys, you know, right. The audience. My revenue is five times what it was last year. It's insane. All because of the podcast, because I show up here for you guys multiple times a week and pour into you and give you a ton of free value. So you trust me. And when you trust me and get a result, you guys are willing to spend money with me. Yes. Okay. So you need that first. Once you have done that check next step, create a product. Now, if you don't have a lot of super fans from three episodes ago, then I would recommend starting with a course. Why? Because we don't know yet what people actually want, right? Like you don't have enough market research to be 100% sure of what people need me, the demand, the actual need, not what we think they want, but what they need. And in order to do that, we have to build an audience and to build an actual legit audience. It takes six months to a year. You guys have podcasting. Okay? So I don't want you to podcast for free for a year. I want you to have a mini course that you promote inside of your show from day one. Okay? And that mini course is 97 bucks, right? Maybe 97, maybe one 47. And it solves a problem in a quick, easy, seamless way. And people can take action on that. And as you grow, you have something to monetize with. That's passive. You don't need to wait to do that. You guys, as soon as you launch your podcast, the next step is to create the mini course. Now, what is your podcast about? Okay, let me, let me just take an example. So one of my clients, Chelsea, Joe, you guys love her and know her. You know her well. I've been working with her for a really long time and she has systemized your life when we met and she did her podcast. The next thing we did was create her first mini course, which was systemize your productivity. We are rebranding it now to systemize your motherhood. But we created this mini course that she could start selling from day one that mini course has brought in revenue for her. While she got to know her audience, while her audience grew to over 500 plus super fans. And now she knows exactly what they need. And she's rebranding. She's tweaking that mini course to be exactly what people need. We didn't know that day one, right? We thought we knew. So we created something and it made money and it helped people. And she got people a result, but she's willing to grow and pivot that product as she gets more and more feedback from her listeners. That's what I want for you guys. All right. Now, if you're in, if you're on the other side of the boat right now, and you're like Stef, I have a thriving coaching business, or I have a huge network marketing business. I have tons of people that are interested in what I do, what I offer. I'm already making money. I have 500 plus thousand plus super fans. I want you to create the signature product. My signature product is podcast pro university, right? You guys, I didn't know that I needed that as my signature product until I had over a thousand super fans, because I didn't know what you guys were needing, what you were asking me for. It was only when I finally clicked and had worked with dozens of private clients that I realized they want to grow an audience and they don't want to spend money to do it. They don't want to ride, run ads. They don't want to invest in fancy funnels. They literally want to show up in their PJ's messy bun, brawls, and flawless with their health smoothie, their kombucha, or they coffee. And some of you, your wine, don't get it twisted. I see you and you're and you want to record an episode from your phone and then you want people to like it and follow you and come hang out with you and eventually work with you. Buy something, do coaching with you, buy your products, et cetera. Yeah. How many of you are nodding? And when I heard that and I knew it was a podcast because I had done it, I then started coaching people on how to start a podcast. And then I realized that you guys needed a course because why I didn't want to teach the tech to be really honest. Okay. I didn't want to teach how to start a podcast, how to host it. What's an RSS feed. What's inside of a podcast episode. How to edit. No, no, no. So I recorded all of the components, right. And made a big, big beat signature course. It took me 90 days to really create that signature product. Okay. And signature products. They're between 500 and a thousand dollars it's going to, and once it started at 500 and then scale it up, okay guys, as you get more and more sales and you get to become known as a market leader for your signature course, which is probably two years in, okay, listen, I'm being really honest. Two or three years in, okay. I've had podcast pro for a year and a half. It's just now taken off as the, as a market leading course for female entrepreneurs who want to start a podcast, okay, now I'm ready to scale the price up. It's going up in December PS. If you want to start a podcast, grab the course now. So that's the signature product conversation. If you have that market research, you guys, and you notice I'm answering the same thing over and over, I have over 500 potentially over a thousand super fans. Now I create the SIG mentor product. The signature product friends is where you're going to spend 80% of your marketing time. Okay? Once you have a signature product, put your attention there because we want to get known for one thing. I want to be known for helping people launch scale and grow profitable podcasts. Kay. That's the signature thing I do. But I have supplemental things that I offer, right? Like the Pinterest mini course. Now I have this course, a mini class. I've got private coaching for strategy. And then I have masterminds to help people connect the podcast. And then the next thing that I'm doing in 2021 is I'm having a retreat. So those are the things you guys are going to do as you grow as you scale. And as you show up on your podcast consistently every single week, okay? If you want to grow faster, two episodes a week. So that's my for, if you should create a mini course versus a signature product. So those of you who are like, okay, I have a podcast and now I want to create my own mini product. What are my first steps? Here are your first three steps. Step number one, you have to identify your avatar and what she needs. She or he needs most desperately right now. What is the highest level of demand that you are seeing? And if you don't know, and nobody's talking back to you, I want you to go pull other people's groups. Come do market research in my group, the mompreneur mastermind show, just hashtag market research. Okay? Come, come over into these mom groups or, or, or these food groups or these wellness groups or these photographer groups, whatever it is you do. And begin to pull people and find out, make sure that it's aligned with your podcast, right? Make sure it's in brand. That's number one. What do they need the most? Number two, create a list of solutions that will get them that result. What do you need to teach them to get them a solution to that problem, make a list. You're probably going to have a list of 20 things. So then what you're going to do, the next thing you're going to do is you're going to create an outline for an actual course by lumping together, all of those solutions in chronological order and coming up with modules, a mini course, you guys, a mini course can be anywhere from an hour, like an hour master class, like, like some of the products I have to like five mini modules that are five to 20 minutes. Each it's a small course, but it gets people a result. Now those are your first three steps. The next thing you're probably thinking is okay, but how do I create it? Like, I think I know what it could be. And if you don't know what it could be and you need help grab a strategy call with me and we'll map it out. Okay. But if you're like, I know what it is. I'm so excited. I've got my list. I'm ready. Like for example, I am a I'm a mindset coach. The number one thing that my ladies are having an issue with is money mindset. They can't break free. They don't believe that they are worthy of money. And I know that that's the number one problem. I have a list of solutions I'm ready to go. But, but, and you're in your own way, like where do I host it? How do I create it? How do I title the modules? How do I title the course? How do I sell it? What does a sales page look like? The tech is holding you back. How to record the modules, how to create the PowerPoints. Do I need a logo for my course? Like all of those thoughts are going through your mind. Then I want you to come and grab the course crafter masterclass. It is 60 minutes plus bonuses. Okay. I've got a CAMBA bonus in there teaching you guys how to create your checklists, your logos for your courses. I have my sales page swipe file. So you can get my sales page template. What to put in a top converting sales page. I have the full on actual training of how to create a course inside of teachable. I've got live Q and a, and then the first one is an intro and pre homework that you're going to do. So all of that is inside of my course, crafter masterclass. It's super easy. It's super simple. It's not fluffy. It's not for you. If you're like, well, I'm making 20 grand a month and I need to create like a year long course. No, this is for those of you that are ready to create your first, very first e-course a mini course or a signature product. Okay. So if you guys want to snag that, I just put it up yesterday and it is available for a limited time at only $97. Like I mentioned, all of my digital products are going up before the end of the year. So if you want to grab this at only 97, do it, do it, do it right, Girl, let's go. What better time than right now to create your course, map it out, plan it out, create it, begin to promote it. And then you can launch it in January. January is the perfect time to launch a course. So if you want to grab that, go to coursecraftermasterclass.gr8.com. Or just go to my website, stefaniegass.com. It's up in the top. Just click it. Let's go. I'm so excited. It is your year to have passive income and add it into your portfolio. You guys, having a passive revenue stream is amazing. And the beauty is once you've created one course, you will know exactly how to create another and another and another until you find the one for you, your signature thing. So I'll meet you inside the course, craft or masterclass. I'm so excited to help you guys do this. If at any point you are stuck or you're unsure of what your course should be, could be how it looks, how to map it out, how to create the modules for it. Let's do a one on one coaching call and I will outline your course with you or you have a course and it's not selling. And you need to discuss launch strategy with me or revamping it or whatnot. Again, one hour coaching call and we can do it. Love you, SIS grateful for you, praying over you, that you are just excited about the future of your business, that you own have open space in your heart and mind for the call that God is whispering into, into you now more than ever now, I think hearing from God that divine intervention of what he needs and wants you to do and being open to receiving that guidance with confidence and fearlessly leaping, even when it doesn't make sense, then when you're unsure of all the house, just taking action and believing that if God's called you to it, he will create the path for you to get there. Jesus' name. Amen. Love ya. I'll see you back here next week.
