Having an online media empire can solve one of the biggest problems for business coaches, consultants and service providers who have limited reach and visibility. By establishing a consistent online presence through various media channels, such as a blog, podcast, and social media platforms, a business coach can significantly expand their reach and attract a wider audience. 

This increased visibility allows them to connect with potential clients who may not have been aware of their services otherwise. Additionally, an online media empire provides a platform for the business coach to showcase their expertise, share valuable insights and resources, and build credibility and trust with their audience. This, in turn, leads to increased opportunities for client acquisition, partnerships, speaking engagements, and ultimately, the growth and success of their coaching business.

But, far too often, there is a lack of consistency and brand presence across different online platforms, which can create confusion about what the service provider truly offers.

On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 336, Rich Bontrager joins me to share his 30+ years of experience in broadcast, and now as an Unofficial NSA Podcaster, to help you amplify your reach online.

As an expert-entrepreneur, speaking on stages and doing interviews on podcasts can provide much needed visibility to new audiences.

But when your topics get popular, you might find you are constantly bombarded with requests to speak at events, conferences, and online shows. While these opportunities can be a great way to build our brand and showcase our expertise, they can also be a drain on our time and resources. In this episode, I will explore how to evaluate speaking opportunities to ensure that they are a good fit for your business goals.

As an expert-preneur, you know that your time is valuable and that every minute counts.

On episode 334 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, discover the key factors that expert-preneurs should consider when evaluating speaking – or any visibility opportunity. By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of how to evaluate speaking opportunities wisely and make the most of your time as a busy expert-preneur. So, let's dive in!
