00:09 | And in today's video , we're going over six steps | |
00:12 | to build your own business as an online educator . | |
00:16 | So many of you responded to a previous video where | |
00:18 | I was asking you about content you would like to | |
00:21 | see and I kept seeing , I would love to | |
00:22 | know how to go independent , how to build my | |
00:24 | own brand , how to build a Youtube channel . | |
00:26 | And so I thought that going over these six steps | |
00:29 | would be helpful for you to see the big picture | |
00:32 | on where do you get started ? Like how do | |
00:34 | you do that ? So let's jump into this video | |
00:37 | with these six steps to build your own online business | |
00:42 | as I give you each step . I'm also going | |
00:43 | to share examples and I think that those are going | |
00:46 | to really reiterate what I'm trying to explain and I | |
00:49 | love examples , I know that many of you like | |
00:51 | to see examples as well . So number one is | |
00:54 | to know your expertise . This is a point in | |
00:57 | time where you can sit down and brainstorm write down | |
01:00 | what are your strengths ? What are you good at | |
01:02 | ? What are your talents that you have asked those | |
01:04 | around you ? Oftentimes those around , you will tell | |
01:07 | you what is your superpower , What's your zone of | |
01:09 | genius ? You can even take the time to send | |
01:13 | out a survey . Maybe you already have an audience | |
01:15 | that you're wondering , what kind of sets me apart | |
01:17 | , What's something that others are attracted to ? What | |
01:19 | are the questions that they're asking you ? What do | |
01:21 | you get asked consistently ? That is your go to | |
01:25 | expert zone of genius . So we first need to | |
01:28 | dive into what can you offer and teach others how | |
01:32 | to do have step number one maybe for your zone | |
01:34 | of genius , you're an online educator and your hallmark | |
01:37 | to your teaching is engagement . And so you could | |
01:40 | teach others how to keep class engaging or perhaps you | |
01:43 | are very organized , you can teach others how to | |
01:46 | stay organized , Maybe it's outside education and you help | |
01:50 | busy moms do work out . How do they fit | |
01:52 | them in ? How do you put them in your | |
01:54 | schedule ? Get the biggest bang for your buck . | |
01:56 | That could be what you are an expert in , | |
01:58 | because you had to learn how to do it yourself | |
02:00 | . And so you build the skills and the expert | |
02:03 | know how and of course you can continue to better | |
02:06 | yourself in your expertise , continue to study and learn | |
02:09 | so that you can offer that value to your current | |
02:12 | or future audience . Let's look at an example of | |
02:15 | a teacher who teaches others how to do writing and | |
02:19 | she teaches other educators how to make their writing exciting | |
02:22 | and fun . She targets mainstream classroom teachers and she | |
02:26 | offers an online course to educate them and teach them | |
02:29 | what she's an expert in . And she's been wildly | |
02:32 | successful . Step number two is get clear on who | |
02:36 | and what who do you want to serve and what | |
02:38 | specific problem do you want to solve . I want | |
02:41 | to ask you a couple questions that I think will | |
02:43 | help you clarify exactly what that one thing is because | |
02:47 | we often have too many ideas or not enough . | |
02:49 | We're thinking I'm not an expert anything you are . | |
02:52 | I know you are or maybe you have so many | |
02:54 | ideas , narrow it down to one . That's my | |
02:57 | biggest advice is pick one . Let me ask you | |
02:59 | the questions . Number one . Do you want to | |
03:01 | serve educators ? Is that the audience that you want | |
03:03 | to serve ? Or maybe you want to help busy | |
03:06 | moms or is it teachers ? So Right . That | |
03:09 | specific audience , is it male teachers ? Maybe it | |
03:12 | is educators that want to build a brand , that's | |
03:14 | the specific audience that I serve . Think about the | |
03:17 | specific person , like write their name down , create | |
03:21 | this avatar of a person with their name , their | |
03:24 | age , their gender , their interest , what accounts | |
03:27 | do they follow on instagram , what people do they | |
03:29 | follow on youtube ? What content are they listening to | |
03:32 | ? You need to get very clear on that one | |
03:34 | person you're trying to serve . And then the second | |
03:36 | thing that you need to figure out now , how | |
03:39 | do you help them ? What specific problem do you | |
03:41 | want to solve ? So to brainstorm a couple ideas | |
03:43 | , do you want to help them to get a | |
03:44 | job ? Maybe you are an online E . S | |
03:47 | . L . Teacher and you're helping them to join | |
03:48 | the company you teach for ? Or maybe you want | |
03:50 | to help them to accomplish a specific skill . Maybe | |
03:53 | they're not getting bookings and you could help them to | |
03:56 | build a full schedule . Or perhaps you're trying to | |
03:58 | help an educator that wants to start teaching independently and | |
04:02 | you want to show them how you were able to | |
04:04 | do that , what the specific problem and sometimes we | |
04:07 | don't feel like we're expert enough in the specific problem | |
04:09 | . As long as you know 10% more then you're | |
04:12 | going to help them get there faster . You're going | |
04:14 | to help them get from Point A to point B | |
04:16 | quicker . Do not question if you have to have | |
04:19 | five years under your belt and have made it . | |
04:22 | I think that that holds a lot of educators back | |
04:24 | from stepping into their expertise or stepping into that role | |
04:28 | of an authority in a topic and the way that | |
04:30 | you get better at it is to continue to learn | |
04:33 | , continue to teach . The best way to learn | |
04:35 | is to teach . And so you start teaching it | |
04:38 | , you're going to do research as you create your | |
04:39 | content , you're going to do research as you create | |
04:41 | your offering your materials , but just know that you | |
04:44 | don't have to be at this elite status to be | |
04:47 | able to help others to accomplish that same thing that | |
04:52 | you've been able to don't question your expertise . You | |
04:55 | got this to keep an example . This is Teacher | |
04:57 | Sarah and she has a Youtube channel that helps others | |
05:00 | declutter her channel is specifically for getting rid of things | |
05:04 | , moving to minimalism and she calls her channel and | |
05:07 | her brand is abundantly minimal . So I love that | |
05:10 | each step has intention and she is saying that you're | |
05:14 | going to build abundance by getting rid of stuff and | |
05:17 | teaches this over and over the same concept . So | |
05:19 | she's serving that same audience member that's feeling overwhelmed or | |
05:23 | they don't know where to start to get rid of | |
05:24 | things . So they come to her channel and her | |
05:26 | resources , her products to learn how to do that | |
05:29 | and to master that one pain point , how do | |
05:32 | we solve this one problem ? She could even get | |
05:34 | even more specific and say she helps busy moms or | |
05:37 | online educators get organized . It's so nice to know | |
05:40 | that when you get started you want to really niche | |
05:43 | down to blow up , you want to get very | |
05:45 | specific . So not just I help others to solve | |
05:49 | this problem whose others be specific , busy moms that | |
05:53 | have Children under five years , super specific because then | |
05:57 | you are the go to for that specific audience niche | |
06:01 | down to blow up . Number three is you get | |
06:03 | to step into creating a personal brand . Now when | |
06:07 | I say the word brand , you may be thinking | |
06:08 | of your colors , your color scheme or what type | |
06:12 | of images will be on your instagram account . Yes | |
06:15 | , you do want everything to look cohesive and come | |
06:18 | together . But when I say personal brand , I'm | |
06:21 | speaking about you , what do you represent ? What | |
06:23 | are the values that you show up and that attracts | |
06:26 | a specific type of person , how you show up | |
06:29 | and what you're doing for your specific audience member . | |
06:32 | So I love these questions . I saw this in | |
06:34 | a sunny Lenarduzzi video and she highlights the book . | |
06:37 | I'm going to read it off my notes . It's | |
06:38 | the book , Blue Ocean Strategy . And the first | |
06:41 | question is , what are you made fun of for | |
06:44 | kind of a crazy question . But I liked these | |
06:46 | three questions , What are you made fun of for | |
06:48 | ? And if you think about it , my answer | |
06:50 | to this was I was always called the Obnoxious Child | |
06:53 | and that is your superpower . I came to find | |
06:56 | that , wow , that's why I had the hallmark | |
06:59 | of being very engaging with my online students , very | |
07:01 | engaging , my content and how I'm able to present | |
07:04 | myself on camera . I would say that that's a | |
07:06 | skill that I've been able to attract others with that | |
07:11 | skill . It also is not everyone's favorite , other | |
07:14 | people are not attracted to it . And that's great | |
07:18 | because I want to attract the specific type of person | |
07:21 | that is my superpower . And so they will be | |
07:23 | attracted to someone that maybe is more mellow and they | |
07:27 | come and they feel I'm so comfortable when I listen | |
07:29 | to your voice or how you explain things that might | |
07:32 | be the teacher that they follow because that's what they're | |
07:35 | attracted to . So you don't attract everyone with your | |
07:37 | superpower . Your superpower attracts the type of person that | |
07:41 | you can best serve because they get you . They | |
07:43 | like your teaching style . So that's your superpower . | |
07:46 | The second question is what things are you attracted to | |
07:49 | and other people ? And when I think of these | |
07:51 | qualities , I think humility , I think of those | |
07:54 | that are hardworking , go getters that stick to their | |
07:57 | values and their standards , they follow their faith . | |
08:00 | These are all things that you want to attract . | |
08:03 | Those are your values . Those are the things that | |
08:05 | you want to represent . And by representing those , | |
08:08 | you attract them back . So what are the specific | |
08:11 | values that you want to represent ? The question was | |
08:16 | what things are you attracted to and other people ? | |
08:18 | And some other words to that I liked were successful | |
08:21 | , charity compassion . There's a good list that you | |
08:25 | can create of the values you want to represent . | |
08:27 | And the third question is , what are the qualities | |
08:30 | that make you mad in other people ? So what | |
08:32 | things do you not like ? And this could be | |
08:35 | when they're self centered or maybe not transparent dishonest . | |
08:40 | These are the qualities that you want to polarize or | |
08:44 | you want to push away . You do not want | |
08:46 | to attract these things . You don't want to represent | |
08:48 | them with your brand . A couple other mean jealousy | |
08:51 | . You want to polarize those characteristics . The example | |
08:55 | I have for building a personal brand . I came | |
08:57 | across this channel . I believe her name is Thoraya | |
09:00 | . I hope I said it right . But I | |
09:01 | love her personal brand . She has a channel that | |
09:04 | is of strangers built for strangers . Wait what ? | |
09:08 | She interviews strangers and she'll ask him very deep questions | |
09:11 | . and it's almost like it unites you because you | |
09:15 | are able to see how we all have those commonalities | |
09:18 | , regardless of race , age , gender , all | |
09:22 | of those things . You're able to recognize their similarities | |
09:25 | and it's relatable . You can relate to these strangers | |
09:27 | . It just it opens up a conversation that I | |
09:30 | love . I love her brand . It's grown so | |
09:32 | quickly because it's not about her is the face of | |
09:35 | the brand , but she highlights these strangers . Like | |
09:38 | it's about her audience and I think her brands beautiful | |
09:41 | . I'll believe it linked below all of these examples | |
09:43 | . Always linked below Step number four is to build | |
09:46 | weekly content . So your weekly content , you want | |
09:50 | it to be searchable and you want it to be | |
09:52 | solving a specific problem for your audience . So since | |
09:55 | we did Steps one through three and we have that | |
09:57 | clarity on what are we an expert in , who | |
09:59 | are we serving and how are we serving in them | |
10:01 | ? And then we have that clarity on our personal | |
10:03 | brand , what do we represent now ? We're ready | |
10:04 | to make our content and searchable content is on Youtube | |
10:08 | that's owned by google . So when you type it | |
10:10 | into google , it pops up , blogs pop up | |
10:12 | if you type meant to google a podcast , as | |
10:14 | long as you transcribe and have a house on a | |
10:16 | website . Also , if you choose to do an | |
10:18 | instagram account , there's so many users on instagram that | |
10:21 | they can find your account with hashtag , they can't | |
10:24 | google and it will pull up , but there's still | |
10:26 | enough users that you can gain an audience in traction | |
10:29 | . Also the same with facebook , there's so many | |
10:30 | users on that platform that you can still cultivate an | |
10:33 | audience even though it's not searchable on google . I'm | |
10:36 | a huge fan of Youtube , that's how my entire | |
10:39 | business has taken off and grown . But you have | |
10:42 | to put in that work for weekly content and make | |
10:44 | sure it's searchable , meaning that I'm putting titles that | |
10:47 | people would type into google , How to film an | |
10:50 | intro video , how to make your first Youtube video | |
10:52 | , How to build a business six steps to build | |
10:55 | a business for online educators . What are people googling | |
10:59 | , they're not googling , they're not going on there | |
11:00 | and saying vlog 2019 taylor family , They are not | |
11:06 | looking for that . That video will not pop up | |
11:07 | in their feed . It will only show to those | |
11:10 | that are already subscribed . So when you are making | |
11:12 | sure that your content is searchable and consistent , you | |
11:16 | will see growth and you will start to build that | |
11:18 | audience and that following , it takes time . It's | |
11:21 | not one of those that get rich quick , It's | |
11:23 | gonna happen overnight . You build your brand over time | |
11:27 | and it's nice because you can also pivot adjust changes | |
11:30 | you learn and as you grow , but keep in | |
11:32 | mind the big picture , what's that big value that | |
11:35 | you want to represent ? It goes back to that | |
11:37 | steps 12 and three when you gain that clarity on | |
11:39 | who you're serving who you're attracting and how are you | |
11:42 | helping them ? Because it is so rewarding . It's | |
11:44 | not going to be all rewarding if you make a | |
11:46 | million dollar business and that's it . You're just generating | |
11:48 | income . What if you're able to take that income | |
11:50 | and serve others and teach others how to replicate that | |
11:53 | same system , That's where it's going to be fulfilling | |
11:56 | . That's where it's going to give you that purpose | |
11:58 | and help you to hit that full potential . So | |
12:00 | make sure that you don't get discouraged if you don't | |
12:04 | immediately see a paycheck . Building a business takes time | |
12:07 | , but it is so rewarding and so worth it | |
12:10 | . I hope that you step into these , the | |
12:11 | example that I liked for this weekly content was my | |
12:14 | husband Listens to a lot of Dave Ramsey and I | |
12:17 | thought it's so interesting how his brand is teaching the | |
12:20 | same seven steps . He teaches how to become debt | |
12:23 | free and he teaches them over and over in his | |
12:25 | content . It's not like he has a new concept | |
12:27 | or a new strategy , He's teaching the same thing | |
12:30 | , this foundation over and over helping families to become | |
12:34 | debt free , sharing their stories , highlighting what were | |
12:36 | the steps that they took ? What step are they | |
12:39 | at ? How did they implement it ? He's able | |
12:40 | to interview them and his weekly content is engaging . | |
12:45 | It's exciting and I feel like you continue to learn | |
12:48 | , even though it's the same topic , it's always | |
12:51 | about becoming debt free but you're able to learn more | |
12:54 | and more each time . So I really like that | |
12:56 | example of weekly content and consistency in solving that single | |
13:00 | problem step number five you're getting so close to the | |
13:03 | end of your business now keep in mind that says | |
13:06 | one through four could take a year before you get | |
13:09 | to this step five or you could do step five | |
13:12 | and month to , it's just all up to you | |
13:14 | and how you want to spend your time and how | |
13:15 | you want to grow , what speed you want to | |
13:17 | grow at number five is to create an offer . | |
13:19 | Now an offer isn't 30 minutes of coaching for 12 | |
13:23 | weeks . It's not the details like that . Your | |
13:25 | offer is the transformation that your audience member , your | |
13:28 | client , your customer , your student has because of | |
13:32 | your product . So for example , Amy Porterfield has | |
13:35 | a course digital course academy . And the transformation that | |
13:38 | happens is by the end of the course you've created | |
13:40 | and launched your own digital course . That's it an | |
13:42 | example of my own course beyond teaching online . By | |
13:46 | the end of the course you've set up and created | |
13:48 | your own profitable Youtube channel . I teach not only | |
13:51 | how to set up your Youtube channel , but how | |
13:52 | to monetize it and turn it into a business . | |
13:56 | That's the end outcome . So with your offer it's | |
13:59 | not the specifics . I have eight modules . There | |
14:01 | are seven hours of listening . Yes , that's part | |
14:04 | of my offer . Yes , that's the actual product | |
14:06 | . But what's the transformation and then you can package | |
14:09 | it how you want ? Maybe you're going to offer | |
14:11 | one on one coaching , maybe you're going to offer | |
14:13 | small group coaching , maybe you're going to tutor on | |
14:15 | your own , Maybe you're going to package it into | |
14:17 | a service , you do video editing or maybe you | |
14:19 | create their website or their instagram . You do their | |
14:23 | social media , your social media , content creator or | |
14:26 | maybe you package it into a digital course . You | |
14:28 | take your expertise that you did one on one and | |
14:30 | you package it into a course that you can sell | |
14:33 | over and over . That's the vehicle that your offer | |
14:36 | is moving . That's the way that you choose to | |
14:38 | deliver it . However your offer is the transformation that | |
14:42 | your client or student or customer has and so don't | |
14:45 | get so caught up on . Okay . Should be | |
14:47 | eight modules . Okay . Should it be one on | |
14:49 | one coaching , what is the transformation you want them | |
14:51 | to see and then you can decide what fits best | |
14:54 | with your schedule and also with your students to get | |
14:56 | the best results . Would that be coaching ? Would | |
14:58 | that be small group and you can transition from one | |
15:02 | and then grow , learn , grow automate my automate | |
15:07 | number six is to build a funnel and I wanted | |
15:12 | to use my business funnel as an example to clarify | |
15:16 | what I mean by this and no , it is | |
15:18 | not the funnel that helps me get all the flour | |
15:20 | to whatever I'm making , I don't bake so I | |
15:23 | don't think you use a funnel for flower . It's | |
15:27 | probably a liquid that goes in there . Okay . | |
15:29 | For mine , like an example for a funnel is | |
15:31 | I have my free youtube content so I offer value | |
15:35 | . I researched these topics . I make sure that | |
15:37 | I'm serving my audience . I'm helping them get from | |
15:40 | Point A to point B . And then I also | |
15:42 | have a call to action . My call to action | |
15:44 | is to grab my freebie and when you grab my | |
15:47 | free guide to building a profitable youtube channel , your | |
15:50 | added to my email list . So that allows me | |
15:52 | to send you weekly emails and build a relationship that | |
15:54 | goes deeper and it continues to serve you . I | |
15:57 | feel as though the free content gives you the foundation | |
16:00 | , it gives you that understanding of what is she | |
16:03 | talking about , How is she helping us ? You | |
16:05 | have a foundational understanding and then it allows you to | |
16:08 | go even deeper because now that you're on the email | |
16:11 | list , I can invite you to a master class | |
16:13 | or a webinar and with the webinar step three , | |
16:16 | I teach you for 50 minutes , an hour on | |
16:19 | that specific topic . So I'll teach you specifically about | |
16:22 | creating searchable content on Youtube if you're an educator and | |
16:26 | that's how I'm serving you . And then at the | |
16:28 | end I'm able to explain what is my offer and | |
16:31 | for me it would be a digital course , a | |
16:34 | coaching package . So the end I'm able to tell | |
16:36 | you the price and the packaging , the vehicle for | |
16:39 | this offer , but the transformation is you will build | |
16:42 | a profitable Youtube channel at the end . So let's | |
16:45 | go over that funnel again . Free content . They | |
16:48 | get on my email list because they grab a free | |
16:50 | guide and then I'm able to nurture that email list | |
16:53 | , build a deeper relationship , send you to a | |
16:56 | free training . So offering more valuable content that dives | |
17:00 | even deeper because it's an hour and then I'm able | |
17:03 | to offer in that free content , my course , | |
17:07 | my digital course or maybe you want to offer coaching | |
17:10 | instead of a webinar , you could do a consultation | |
17:12 | call and say that I offer a coaching package and | |
17:15 | this is how it's set up . So there's so | |
17:17 | many routes to go , I think that it just | |
17:19 | kind of helps to see what is the exact funnel | |
17:21 | that you can build in the business and if you're | |
17:23 | thinking where do I even get started ? Okay , | |
17:25 | I can see the big picture and how you explain | |
17:27 | that my biggest tip is to have a mentor to | |
17:30 | purchase a course of your own , to learn , | |
17:32 | make sure that you're learning as you see a light | |
17:35 | bulb and you're like , yes , I want to | |
17:36 | build a business as an online educator , then instead | |
17:40 | of piecing it together yourself , reach out to a | |
17:42 | mentor , let me know in the comments . If | |
17:44 | this is something that you want to do , your | |
17:46 | feedback is so valuable to me because it allows me | |
17:49 | to create content that's going to help you get further | |
17:52 | from Point A to Point B . I want to | |
17:54 | give you steps , I want to dive deep onto | |
17:56 | these things so that I can serve you and help | |
17:59 | you more let me know in the comments below . | |
18:01 | Is this something that you want to learn more about | |
18:03 | ? And if you have not grabbed my free guide | |
18:06 | , the probable Youtube channel , I'll link it below | |
18:08 | . It teaches you five steps to start building your | |
18:11 | own profitable Youtube channel and my biggest tip is to | |
18:14 | use it , download it and say I'll do it | |
18:16 | next month , I'm homeschooling now I'll do it over | |
18:19 | fall break , it will always be busy . There | |
18:21 | will never be a perfect time once you download the | |
18:24 | guide to start using it because you're building that foundation | |
18:26 | , that understanding and as you build that foundation , | |
18:29 | you'll be ready when my course opens or you'll be | |
18:32 | ready when maybe a mentor has an offer that you're | |
18:35 | interested in so you can take those next steps in | |
18:37 | your business . But my biggest recommendation is yes , | |
18:40 | get a coach , have a mentor . It doesn't | |
18:42 | mean they have to meet with you one on one | |
18:44 | , these youtube videos . That's an example of having | |
18:46 | a mentor , having someone that is an expert in | |
18:49 | that topic to help you out . All right guys | |
