The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss

Want to know how to make money fast? Following on from the success of my $99 live workshops and given that I’m in the last stretch before my maternity leave, I decided to do a “quick and dirty” launch.  Workshop Magic was born and, even though I whipped it up in a relatively short space of time, it ended up being an incredibly successful launch, netting me almost $20k. In this episode I wanted to share everything from the creative process, launch strategies, sales strategies, the emails I sent, and all the juicy details in between that made it a success. Making money doesn’t always have to be a long-winded process. Sometimes you just have to capitalize on an opportunity and act fast.
