Taking my own advice + creating a clear plan

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

I recently joined The RAVEL Collective, a professional network for socially conscious, purpose-driven women entrepreneurs.

The other day I was reading through Slack, and saw a question from one of the members on how to get started being a guest on podcasts. I've done a little research in this area, so I sent her a rough plan and a few resources.

It got me thinking – this is something *I* want to do. Being a guest on podcasts is a great way to build your audience and increase awareness of your offerings, both services and digital products.

Why am I giving someone else advice but not taking my own?

So here's my plan, in 12 Week Year format 💪

  • Weeks 1-2: Write down a few topics I would like to speak about, gather my high-resolution headshots and write a short and long bio
  • Week 3: Create a page on my website with this information (use Joe's guest page or Alastair's media page for inspiration)
  • Week 4: Write a pitch email template and create a blank ClickUp list for tracking
  • Weeks 5-8: Spend 1 hour/week searching for shows to reach out to
  • Weeks 9-10: Reach out to the shows I found
  • Week 11: Away
  • Week 12: Follow up with anyone I don't hear back from

Sometimes all you need is a clear plan.

Best,
Rene

P.S. Speaking of a clear plan, do you need one to create your first digital product? I gave a presentation at WordCamp Phoenix in March and shared a Google Sheet template with the group – a roadmap for all of the important milestones and tasks to launch your first digital product. Check out the slides and grab the template.

Hey Reader, One of the reasons I launched a podcast last year was to establish authority in the digital product space. I had helped a few of my web clients launch their products (and loved it) so I planned to pivot in this new direction. I've enjoyed podcasting more than I thought, but I've been having this sinking feeling that something isn't right. After episode 58 early in April, I just didn't feel up to creating more solo episodes, so as you can see, I've switched to interviews only. I'm...

Hey Reader, A few months ago I went to the store to buy some new mascara. I've been wearing the same kind for years, but don't need to buy it very often because it lasts me a long time. The salesperson took me over to the section and said, you don't want waterproof mascara (which is what I usually get). You want the regular mascara. So I picked up the regular mascara, checked out and went about life. In the subsequent weeks, I realized why I don't buy regular mascara. I'm a business owner, in...
