Teaser Videos & Using an Existing Social Media Platform to Build Another - 41
Chalene talks about understanding your niche and targeting your messages to a specific audience. She also defines what it is to “over-niche” yourself - narrowing your topics and customer experiences to the point that there are too few opportunities to engage and to few people to interact with. You’ll get some tips to help you explore and understand your potential lifers so that you can target your message to the right amount of people. Also, Chalene answers the question, “Can you leverage one social media platform to grow a new social media account?” It’s about understanding the customer experience and understanding what your overall objective is - most likely, driving potential customers to your website or opt-in page. Chalene also suggests some questions you can ask your audience to help increase engagement and, hopefully, shares on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest.

Website or Opt-in Page & Mobile Responsive Design - 38
Sometimes you just need to trust yourself. A listener asks Chalene about the importance of a high-quality website and she responds with some important questions: What is important to YOU when you visit someone’s site? Do you even need a website first or should you start with an opt-in page? If so, single or double opt-in? Other topics include using “freemiums” to attract potential clients and get their email addresses and the importance of mobile-responsive design(meaning that your site is optimized for smartphones). Look, by having a site that looks good no matter what, you highlight that you’re a professional with relevant, up-to-date information. Lastly, Chalene offers suggestions on four resources that will help you get started with your online presence.

Broadcast Emails & Investing in Business Development and Getting Organized - 37
We all know that the Internet has the answer to almost any question, so why should you bother paying for an online academy or seminar? Well, because it saves you time and money. In this episode, Chalene answers a question about online academies and outlines two or her own programs - Marketing Impact Academy and Smart Success Seminar - and offers insights into which one may be more valuable for you. Smart Success Seminar is about developing systems to help yourself be more organized and better prepared to grow your business (virtual assistants, outsourcing, file management, etc…). Marketing Impact Academy is for the organized ones who are looking for new methods to reach more people (webinars, opt-ins, etc…). Chalene discusses how she manages her email list and how she decides who to email. By using CRMs like Infusionsoft or iContact, she is able to determine how people entered her email and then tailor messages for them. Besides understanding who gets which emails and calls-to-action, Chalene describes something she has termed the “customer journey” - how is a potential new client moved from joining the email list to actively choosing to sign-up for a new program or service.

When to Quit Your Job, How to Avoid Selling, & Spirituality in Business - 34
Chalene is joined by Jimmy Hays Nelson to answer rapid-fire listener questions. In this episode, Chalene and Jimmy talk about getting over the fear of failure - an essential trait for any successful entrepreneur.

Regardless of when you leave, it’s important to have the passion that will carry you through to success. Chalene also discuss the role of spirituality in the development of your business.

Jimmy and Chalene also answer a fun hypothetical: Where would you start if all of your business magically disappeared overnight? They also tackle the question of individuality in how you design and implement your business and how you grow and use your email list.
