Biz Mindset | 5 tips for overcoming self-doubt to launch a podcast or a digital product
Know that we all struggle with it - even nearly 3 years into podcasting, I still often question myself “Who am I to be doing this?” One of my Launch Magic students told us she has a PhD and still questions whether she knows enough at times. Remember - it’s not about you, it’s about the people you’re helping. It’s about the value you’re providing. You’re doing your audience a disservice by not sharing it. The more you know, the more you realise how much you don’t know. If you’re questioning whether you know enough - the Dunning Kruger effect: The people who think they know enough are the ones who don’t know anything. Start a “happy feedback” folder in your inbox or on your phone. Remind yourself of the impact you can make when you put yourself out there. Lean on others for support - join a mastermind group, find biz friends you can bounce off, ask a trusted mentor or friend. Wanna create your first digital product without the guesswork?

Podcasting | How I use my podcast to launch and sell my digital products
I run ads to my podcast content + blog content - Facebook Ads, also Overcast Ads, to grow my audience. Once they’re listening to my podcast, I give calls to action - download my free ebook, join my free masterclass. I’m authentically ME on my podcast, which I believe helps to build a connection with my audience - you either like me or you don’t. I use my podcast content to nurture my audience to where they need to be ready to buy my products - I give them the what and why, not so much the how. I use my podcast content to help overcome any questions, fears and hesitations my audience has about buying from me. Wanna create your first digital product without the guesswork?

I used to worry “what would people think” - and I let this hold me back from showing up for my business fully. ESPECIALLY when it came to building a personal brand.
