Today's episode was sent in by Kimberly on rachelrofe.com/questions.

She asks,

"Hello Rachel, I love all the cool things you do. I bought something from you and it came through JV Zoo. Afterwards, I was bombarded by JV Zoo emails. I have a product that I need help promoting but I hate the idea of putting my clients through that. What are your thoughts on JV Zoo did it work well for you and can the email onslaught be avoided with Clickbank? Thanks for Being You!"

Notes From The Show:

- It depends on what you're selling

- JVZoo is great for IM products and for finding affiliates.

- Clickbank doesn't send out emails but not as easy to find affiliates.

- JVZoo and Clickbank are best for non-recurring fee options

- Shopify can also be used to sell digital products and there are affiliate apps. They don't send emails.

- I personally use Shopify for physical products, Nanacast, JVZoo, and Clickbank.

Links and Resources Mentioned:

JVZoo - No upfront fee, sends out emails if people don't un-check the button

Clickbank - $50 fee to list a product, no emails sent out

Shopify - No emails sent out, recurring fee (use that link for 20% off though)

Nanacast - Complex to use, offers lifetime commissions, recurring fee

Today’s show is for you if you feel like you don’t know your “purpose” yet and that makes you feel bad.

Notes From The Show:

– Being stuck on finding a “purpose” can make us feel horrible.

– Not everyone necessarily has a specific purpose that has to be monetized and made into a business or has to help a zillion people.

– Do what feels good as often as you can

Facebook post – This is what I read aloud.

Today's episode was sent in by Ruchi on rachelrofe.com/questions and is all about legacy. The question was about the legacy *I* want to leave behind, but I invite you to answer this for yourself, too.

Ruchi asks, "Hi Rachel! Hopefully this doesn't come across as morbid, but here's my question to you, you do a lot of great things for the world, from everyday angel bombs where you unexpectedly brighten up someone's day, to huge things like helping raise 50k in less than a day for a school in Brazil. My question for you is what legacy do you hope to leave after you're gone, and what would you like to be remembered for?”

Notes From The Show:

- I usually think in terms of "will I be happy on my death bed?" and/or what values can I instill in future kids?

- Made a difference (without parameters).

- Pleasure

- Use gifts

What about you? I'd love to hear!

Would you like to have your content featured on major sites like MindBodyGreen, Huffington Post, and other major websites?

If so, you can - it's TOTALLY do-able - and you don't even need to have some major following or credentials first.
In today's episode I'm going to go over exactly how you can get featured on MindBodyGreen and other sites, even if you're starting with zero online presence.

This show was created thanks to Stephanie submitting a question on rachelrofe.com/questions. She asks, "Hi Rachel! My potential podcast question is ...How can one get published on a site like MindBodyGreen? THANKS!"

Please feel free to submit your questions, too!

Notes From The Show:

Step 1: Make sure your niche makes sense with whatever site you'd like to submit to.

Here were the articles I submitted to MindBodyGreen even though I am known for personal development *and* biz advice.

10 Tips To Improve Your Morning In 5 Minutes Or Less (1.6k shares)
10 Ways To Fit Fun Into A Busy Day (676 shares)
7 Reasons You're Not Living The Life Of Your Dreams (3.5k shares)
7 Ways To Get Anything You Want (13.1k shares)

Step 2: Look at what’s already doing well on sites.

Most places will tell you exactly what their most popular articles are. See if your content can mold to it a little bit. Look for key words in titles, headline formats, certain lengths of words in headlines, etc.

You can also search for something like "mindbodygreen.com productivity" or "forbes.com beauty" and manually open up a bunch of articles to see what has done well.

If nothing in your niche is doing well, it may mean you don't have the sexiest topic.

Step 3: Write your article (if a site requires it upfront).

Make sure to adhere to the submission requirements of a site. Different sites like different word counts, topics, etc.

Make it easy to read with short sentences and deliver exactly what the title offers. Don't be too verbose or self promotional.

If the site allows, have a resource box that tells people where they can sign up to get more from you, preferably with a gift that has to do with whatever your article's about.

Optional: You may want to have friends or a coach proofread your article before you submit.

Step 4: Submit your content following submission guidelines.

Most people who are on sites like MindBodyGreen or HuffingtonPost are there simply because they asked to be.

Just do a search for ‘site name + submission’ or ‘site name + submit article’.

Step 5: Put it in your calendar to see if you get accepted.

Most sites will tell you when they’ll let you know if you’ll get accepted or not by. Put the date in your calendar and take appropriate action. You may want to clean up your article and re-submit, or maybe use your article as content for your own blog, other sites, or for guest blogging.

Today's show goes over how you can use GetResponse's new web forms and apps to increase the subscribers on your mailing list. I go over which apps I've been using and how I use them to build my mailing list.

If you have a topic request or a question you'd like me to answer, please head over to http://rachelrofe.com/questions and ask!

Notes From The Show:

- GetResponse.com is an autoresponder service you can use to grow and communicate with your mailing list. I've tested out 10 or so comparable systems and this has been my favorite.

- This is a sponsored show. I seeked GetResponse out as a sponsor because they're a company I know, love, and have been using for nearly a decade.

- To access forms, go to Forms, then Create Forms, then the List Builder Wizard.

- There are 11 different form options including a blank one + one where you can search for size dimensions. Everything is customizable, no cheesy stock photos.

- Split testing is now an option. Make sure to use it. Unless you get a TON of traffic, I'd test 2 forms at a time and keep cutting the weaker ones and replacing them with new variations. Test out colors you use, headlines, and the amount of things you collect (for example, try just collecting email versus name and email addresses).

- Web apps are my favorite. To access these, log into GetResponse, go to Forms, then Create Forms, then click on List Builder Apps.

- The scroll box app is one I've posted on RachelRofe.com. It's a form you put on your website that collects names and email addresses. It stays on the page the whole time as people are reading and is particularly beneficial for places where you have valuable content. It reminds people that they can get even more from you.

- The exit pop up app has been the best-performing app that I've implemented. It's a form that pops up when people are trying to leave your website and isn't annoying or invasive. I've put this on 2 places:

- KinstantFormatter.com - This is a software I have that converts documents to Kindle-ready books. If potential customers try to leave the website without buying it, they're offered information for free on how to market their books.

- A blog post in one of my niches about a particular type of tutorial. When people go to leave the blog post, I offer them a signup to get more of those types of tutorials.

The reason why this particular app is so beneficial is because people are already showing interest in a particular type of content. By offering them similar content, you're giving them what they've expressly shown interest in.

This is a win/win because people get more of what they want, plus you get extra opportunity to get in front of people. People often need multiple exposures before buying something.

- Out of all the apps this one is doing the best conversion-wise so far. It's also the best one in terms of converting signups into sales.

- The Shake box is a great one to capture peoples' attention. A signup form comes on top of the text and it jiggles back and forth to capture peoples’ attention.

- The Fixed app will post a horizontal form on the bottom or top of your page. I have something like this on rachelrofe.com/products and have gotten several hundred sign ups from it.

- GetResponse has integrations with Facebook, Wordpress, PrestaShop, Joomla, or WooCommerce, you can do that very easily under the same section in Create Forms.

Links and Resources Mentioned:

The holidays are coming up and it’s an great time to be able to sell items online. If you’d like to know how you can sell without spending any money upfront, this show is for you.

This show was created thanks to this question from Matt:

“How can I sell products online without having to spend big money on minimum order quantities? I’ve read about people trying to hire from China and it costs a ton of money. I'm about to be a new dad and would love to jump in to shopify but am still stuck with finding and sourcing a product that sells without losing my shirt.”

If you have a question you'd like me to answer, please head over to http://rachelrofe.com/questions and ask!

Notes From The Show:

Why I don't like to buy inventory upfront:

- You don't know if inventory will sell - it's a big risk. 

- May have to spend thousands of dollars.

- Dealing with wholesalers can be frustrating.

UseGearBubble.com:

- 740 of 822 items from UseGearBubble

- Upload design - can design yourself, pay someone on Fiverr, work with designer, split royalties, pick a price, instantly get a site to sell on.

- UGB handles fulfillment + customer service.

- Built for direct marketing.

- Upsell like items, like a mug to a necklace with the same design

- Can sell directly on site or using dropship program. Get ROI on free campaign first.

- Sign up no matter what, you'll get free training from 7-figure marketer. Will help with anything you sell, even if not UGB.

eBay.com:

- Re-sell items for a profit (i.e. sell a watch for $13 that you find on eBay for $10)

- Go to rachelrofe.com/shopify for 20% off.

- You can contact sellers and ask to ship without their packaging or for permission to use their pictures. Most sellers are fine since they're getting exactly what they asked for.

- You can use multiple addresses.

- Customers don't always know items are available on eBay - many people don't comparison shop, different titles, plus you're giving convenience of curating for them.

- Can buy your own inventory after proven concept.

- Can do this on Amazon too.

- Make sure to check your emails every day to fulfill orders. People won't want to wait.

- I've sold 26 items of last 822 sales from here.

Stickers:

- Had my sister print out, cut, and send stickers. She fulfilled as orders came in.

- Gave her a design, posted on my store. I made stickers one color + easily cut out, though she has now upgraded her printer so it's not an issue.

- Offered free stickers + $2.95 shipping and handling. $.95 profit + got people on mailing list to re-market to, was very easy.

- Sold 56 stickers on this store, 60+ on another.

- Stickers are excellent impulse buy.

- Hands off if you auto-forward sticker orders to her.

One thing that eludes a lot of people in the podcasting world is how to actually make money from their podcasts.

This is especially true for people who have a “passion” podcast like I do and didn’t start with any kind of monetization plan.

Thankfully, I’ve been interviewing a lot of spectacular people for my Podcast Prodigy course and have gotten some awesome ideas on how to monetize your podcast.

Sponsored by:

PodcastProdigy.com - How to start a popular podcast that gets 1,500 - 3,000+ listens per show

Here are 19 of my favorites:

1. Sell sponsorships.

This is a very popular option for many podcasters.

If you have a good amount of downloads per podcast episode (John Lee Dumas of Entrepreneur On Fire tells me that the sweet spot for attracting sponsors is 3,000 downloads per episode), you can sell ad space to sponsors.

2. Find coaching clients.

I was recently talking to Michelle Evans of the Breaking Free podcast. She told me that even though her podcast has been around for less than a year, she gets between 4 and 15 emails every week from people who are interested in hiring her. About 70% of those people go on to become clients. Not shabby.

3. Promote a membership site.

I recently interviewed Don McAllister for my Podcast Prodigy course. He told me that he has “several thousand” members in his Screencasts Online membership and that the overwhelming majority of his traffic came from his podcast.

4. Build a mailing list.

Offer some kind of gift to entice your podcast audience into signing up.

Even if you don’t have something to sell them right now, creating a list is a very powerful monetization method for down the line. You can use it to sell affiliate products, your own products or services, or even just tell people about new episodes so you can build your numbers up for sponsorships.

If you use EasyAudello, you can even have opt-in forms show up during different points of your podcast – i.e., in minute 3, at the same time you mention a gift that people can get for signing up.

5. Sell services.

Denise Griffitts’ show, Your Partner In Success, gets between 4,000 – 6,000 listens a week. While she doesn’t directly try to monetize it, she tells me that many people reach out to her and inquire about hiring her for her web development and/or virtual assistant services.

6. Sell mastermind slots.

If people are interested in your podcast topic, it likely means they want to hear more about it. Create a mastermind of likeminded individuals who want to learn even more about your show topic and/or get individual support.

7. Create information products to sell.

Survey your audience and find out what they’d like to learn more about, then create products to serve them.

When I interviewed John Lee Dumas, he told me that he created his premium course after getting feedback from his audience that they’d be interested in learning more.

To date, he has sold well over a million dollars with that product.

8. Create relationships with potential affiliates.

Besides monetizing your podcast directly, you can also use your platform to create relationships with people who would be excellent affiliates.

Spending an hour on an interview with someone can help create a lot of rapport. If you can nurture relationships with the people you interview, you can end up with a lot of excellent affiliates.

9. Sell books.

In many ways, selling books is harder than ever. There are more and more authors entering Kindle by the day.

If you build a relationship with your book readers via podcasting, you create an excellent way to stand out from everyone else.

A few months ago, I interviewed a gal who said that her key to Kindle success (she’s currently making $80k/month+ with her books and became a NY Times Bestseller – starting from scratch, with zero list) was having consistent communication and interaction with her book readers.

Podcasting is an excellent way to cultivate a relationship and build a loyal following of people who want to buy your books.

10. Sell products as an affiliate.

There are many ways you can promote products as an affiliate with your podcast.

For example, if it makes sense, Audible has a partner program where they pay you $15 per person who signs up for a free trial account.

11. Have affiliates come on and sell products.

You can interview people on your podcast and then have them offer special discounts (with your affiliate code) to your audience at the end of the interview.

12. Ask for donations.

Before Don McAllister (see #3) created his membership site, people were contacting him and asking how they could donate for his efforts. If you directly ask for donations, it’s very likely that you will get some.

13. Give some content away for free, charge for the rest.

There are a few podcasts – Don’s included – where the host gives away some content, such as the first few minutes of a tutorial (which is still helpful), then people need to pay an upgrade fee to get the rest.

14. Build your brand.

Even if you don’t directly sell something, you can raise your perceived value by aligning yourself with experts.

In this interview, John Jantsch says that he was a “complete unknown” when he started podcasting. That didn’t stop him from asking people like Seth Godin to be on his podcast though.

From the interview: “Since starting the podcast, things have changed dramatically. Jantsch estimates that his business has grown more than 500 percent and he works a lot less.”

15. Sell an iPhone app.

In this interview, Elsie Escobar of “Elsie’s Yoga Class Live and Unplugged” explained how her podcasts offers free yoga classes. She sells an app for $3.99 on that podcast.

When people buy the app, they get anytime access to 70+ yoga classes as well as PDF’s that show the sequence of each class.

16. Repurpose content and sell it.

With some finesse, you can take podcast posts and put them into a book or ebook.

As an example, Nick Loper made money from a podcast that he didn’t even host. (Crazy, right?)

He simply went through 500+ previous episodes of John Lee Dumas’ Entrepreneur on Fire and compiled a listing of the interviewee’s favorite books. (John asks every guest what their favorite book is.)

His book (Work Smarter) became a bestselling book.

17. Brag about your numbers.

If you’re getting great download numbers, you can leverage them when trying to land traditional publishing deals, get sponsorships for events, or book paid speaking gigs.

18. Host an event.

Identify the type of people who you want to attract to your events, then create content that they would respond to.

In your podcasts, mention the (online or offline) events you’ll be holding.

19. Sell physical products.

Onnit, a supplement company, is a big sponsor for some very popular podcasts. If they’re continuing to sponsor, they must be making money doing it. What’s to stop you from selling your own physical product?

 I hope this list helps your mind get going with great ideas on monetizing your own podcast.

I've loved following your different ways to make income online. My question might be a little off topic but it's about your courses.

My name is Shannon my website is shannondepalma.com and I've recently launched an online course about Etsy through my website. Now I'm going through the 2nd round of launching it again and it's exhausting.

Is there a reason why you chose Udemy and not to host it through your own site? How do you manage to get more sales after it's  gone live on Udemy?

Thank you, I've appreciated all your income projects!

Today marks the 100th episode of A Better Life Podcast. And to switch it up, I’ve invited one of my favorite people on the planet, Kit Murray Maloney of O’Actually, to interview me!

– How you can choose to find breakthroughs even when you feel powerless

– The importance of establishing boundaries when it comes to your time and generosity

– My two-step process for moving away from misery towards courage

– Why you don’t need to ‘save’ people in your life (and why it’s delusional to think you can)

I originally became very interested in learning how to incorporate more exercise into your day when I read how harmful sitting for 8 hours a day is, even if you spend an hour a day at the gym.

Since I learned about that, I’ve done all kinds of things to get in as much movement as possible. I’m proud to say that I now average walking 8 miles a day.

In this post I’m going to share exactly how I do that, plus how you can fit exercise into a packed-to-the-brim schedule.

One of the most helpful things you can do to grow your business is to regularly share free content.

There are all kinds of side benefits to this: you get more followers, better search engine results, and most importantly - more people who trust you.

All of this ends up leading into paying customers.

The problem for many business owners, though, is that it feels hard to come up with consistent ideas of things to write or podcast about.

In today's episode, I share several ways you can come up with new content on a regular basis. Use these to create your own podcast or regularly updated blog.

If you have a business (or are creating one), odds are you want to get in front of as many people as you can.

Many people believe that to do this, they need to constantly update their blogs. And while that's helpful, it can be very frustrating to always have to come up with a "latest and greatest" blog post idea.

In my view, you actually don't need to constantly come up with new work. You can work smarter instead of harder by maximizing what you already have. This episode goes over how.

It seems easier than ever to feel disconnected and lonely.

Most of us are in front of computers more than we’re in front of people. That’s hard. And when you consider there’s a direct correlation between social media consumption and depression, it makes it even harder.

In order to feel connected, it takes some conscious work – and that’s what we cover in today’s show.

In this episode, I share some ways you can feel connected in a particularly rough moment and how you can also (mostly) avoid it being a problem for the future.

By 2015, millenials - those born in the 80's and 90's - will be responsible for more buying decisions than any other group out there.

In this episode, Ryan Jenkins and I talked about why millenials are so different from any other generation, what's important to them, and how to market to them.

I thought this was a fascinating look into the worldview of millenials and learned a lot, even as a millenial myself.

So many of us are stressed out of our mind, swimming in never-ending lists of things to do.

What if there was a way to STOP being so overwhelmed, put LESS on your plate, and actually end up being MORE productive?

There is - and I cover it in this episode.

It's really easy to get stuck into a pattern of circling around the same negative thoughts over and over.

It's also really easy to shut down any of your negative thoughts and say, "Everything's great!"

In this episode, among other things, Eric and I cover how to keep your thoughts as healthy as possible without going to either extreme.

In this episode, Jordan Harbinger shares how you can be more charismatic. He goes over how you can make a great first impression, how to "network" better - even if you hate it, and how to not care so much about what people think.

Towards the end of the show, he gives his best personal success technique.

This show packs a lot of great info.

Kit Murray Maloney is on a mission to celebrate and spread women’s sexual pleasure.

In this episode, we talk about how she began her not-so-easy mission, the benefits of women concentrating on their sexual pleasure, her “Pleasure Pledge”, and how she creates a phenomenal network of people around her.

In this episode, I go over 101 tasks that I've personally delegated to MyFancyHands.com.

This is meant to help you see what YOU can be delegating in your life.

If you have some kind of business (or want to have one), you'll need people to know about your offer. This experimental episode goes over 55 ways you can get in front of those people.

In this episode, Clint shares how we went from life as a heroin addict and prisoner to creating a thriving, successful life and business that he’s proud of.

He talks about how he used his time in prison to completely revamp his life – including his daily rituals, small changes that made a huge difference, and his personal success strategies.

This was a great interview with a lot of take-aways.

In this episode, Scott talks to us about how he became sober, lost 140 pounds (and counting), and what he does to keep his depression in check.

If there's anything in your life that you'd like to change, you'll definitely want to hear Scott's powerful midnset techniques.

He has made lasting changes in his life without ever going to counseling or formal rehabilitation and tells us exactly how.

In this episode, Nichole Kellerman Wurth gives away some of her best tips on how you can feel alive. Although she is normally a weight loss teacher, we covered all kinds of accessible-to-anyone tips (and actually didn't talk about weight loss much at all).

We talked about how to tune in to what you really want, how to shut down your inner "mean" voice, and how you can focus in on your desires and actually make them happen - even if they seem very farfetched right now.

Derek Rydall believes you can have anything you want. What’s more, he thinks you can have it WITHOUT using self improvement or law of attraction (both of which he doesn’t believe in).

In this episode, Derek goes over his framework for creating anything you want, including the exact process of how he moved from his small apartment into his dream home in less than 90 days.

Crystal Cave is a stylist who specializes in "not so skinny style". Whether or not you identify as "not so skinny", most of us have some kind of body hangups, and this show helps with that.

We cover how to love your body for whatever it looks like right now, how to handle other peoples' judgments, and style tips for both men and women. It's a fun episode!
