Want More Sales? What You Need to Know About Beta Testing
Have you ever heard of a beta test?It’s okay if you haven’t… years ago, I thought that if you were going to launch something, you would simply create it, put it out in the world, and people would buy it. That’s it!But there’s another way to launch a new product or service… and that’s to beta test it BEFORE you release it publicly.>>A beta test is when you allow a small group of people to test your new “thing”--whether it’s to go through your latest service, take a course before it’s released, or try a new product–typically at a discounted price, in exchange for their feedback on it.<<In the Fall of 2021, the Social Curator Team and I decided to host a beta test for our brand new digital course, S.O.S. Selling on Social.In this episode, you’ll learn why we decided to host a beta test, hear behind the scenes clips from our team as we went through the process, and learn how to create one yourself.I can’t wait to tell you everything you need to know about beta testing, so click play now!If you’d like to learn more about S.O.S.

Why Hoping for a Miracle Isn’t a Bad Thing
When I was growing up, my family prayed for miracles.We received assistance from the government and charitable donations from our church, and most years, there wasn’t money for groceries… let alone Christmas gifts. *We used to joke that we weren't poor… we were “po” because we couldn’t even afford the “or” at the end of the word!*Because of our financial situation, I learned to trust in God and pray for miracles, even if it seemed impossible….and this is something I still practice today.This episode is a short, unprofessional, and unplanned recording to remind you that hoping for a miracle isn’t a bad thing…. It just might be the thing that keeps you going through the hard times.Need a little pick-me-up this holiday season? Click play now.
