If you do the same things over and over again, why would you expect a different outcome? In business, you’ll inevitably run into a buffer phase as you scale your offers and exhaust your current leads. There are two solutions: create a new offer for the same leads, or find fresh and new leads for the same offer. In this episode, Jill discusses the need for new inputs and messaging strategies to generate more interest and sales for your offers. She explains the concept of long view messaging for building a brand and the importance of relatability in connecting with the audience, as well as the role of short view messaging in shortening the sales cycle and getting cold leads to become customers.   Don’t forget to leave a review (make sure to include your insta handle!) for a chance to win a stack of Jill’s fav books on business!   https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

The Instagram algorithm rewards intermittently, and right now seems like a great time to try to get your posts in front of more eyes. For some, going viral is the goal of Instagram and while it can be a great way to build up an audience, it isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. If you dream of going viral, make sure you’re creating content relevant to your niche, have somewhere to send new followers and keep them nurtured so that when the time comes to sell your products, you have an audience that’s excited to invest.   https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

No one wants to spend hours, days, weeks, or even months creating a program you know is great, just to get no sales. If you don’t want to spend time creating a product no one wants, you can always sell the product before it’s even been made! This is something Jill often does at JillFit when creating courses or group offerings. The most important thing to keep in mind if you want to sell something before you’ve even made it, like most things in online business, is that you need to be take action in the face of uncertainty, be able to work under pressure, and most importantly, to trust yourself and your ability to put together a program that helps people.   https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Sometimes you may wonder why people aren’t connecting with your content, aren’t engaging with you, and aren’t buying your services; it’s likely because they don’t truly see how your products can help them. There’s one tool Jill teaches online biz owners to use that will completely change the outcome of all your messaging and marketing: the camera scenario. When you think about following your ideal clients’ “before” and “after” selves around with a camera, you get clearer and more specific about the language that helps them see that you really do understand their struggles, and you have the solution to feeling better!   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

There are plenty of reasons why people are too afraid to start online businesses, but mindset challenges and fears of judgement tend to be most common. These fears keep us from showing up fully, but at some point, being of service to people has to be more important to you than the fear of judgement. In this episode, Jill talks to current FBA student, Leah marie, about the mindset challenges that were holding her back and how taking the leap to join FBA changed her business and her life.

It’s easy for Jill to talk about why FBA is a great investment—it’s her program!—but what about hearing about it directly from someone who has first-hand experience? Concita Thomas is a current FBA student with over 20 years in the fitness industry and 10 in the online space. After building her business on her own for a decade and not gaining as much traction as she’d like, Concita wanted to get back to basics and joined FBA. Within 2 weeks, she made back double the amount she invested in her business, and is more confident in her business than ever before. As Concita says, if you decide to make FBA worth your time, money, and attention, it’ll surpass your expectations.

The online space is changing—it always does. And while sometimes change can be frustrating, if you can recognize and get in front of these changes, you can find a lot of opportunity to stand out from your peers. In this episode, Jill discusses three changes that coaches need to be ready for in the online coaching space in 2024. The first change is a decrease in visibility on social media, which requires coaches to get more creative and niche down to find their target audience. The second change is the importance of personal connection, as people now want to work with coaches they connect with and feel closer to. The third change is that people are coming with more coaching baggage, having had negative experiences with other coaches. Coaches need to differentiate themselves and communicate how they are different or better than other coaches. Overall, coaches need to learn and improve their business skills to succeed in the changing online coaching space.   https://jillfitfree.com/p2p2024/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

In the fourth episode of the Online Business Basics series, Jill shares the importance of email marketing as a foundational business principle. It may seem like an old or unimportant concept, but the old saying that the buyers are in your email list is still true to this day. Email marketing is permission-based marketing, which is a perfect system for both you and your audience—those who want your content get exclusive access, and those who don’t can just opt out. Unsubscribes, just like unfollows, are going to happen, so you can’t take them personally. Jill shares strategies for building an email list, including evergreen call to action and lead magnets, and encourages consistent communication with subscribers to keep them nurtured and ready to buy when the time is right.     https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.
