Questions Answered in Episode 64

In this episode we answered the following questions:

1. “I spend a lot of time on Pinterest just for fun so am very familiar with how it works and really enjoy the service. I am wondering if Pinterest is a good place to spend time marketing a business? I am a wellness coach. There is a lot of wellness and nutrition advice on Pinterest, but I am just not sure if I should spend time marketing there or how I would go about it.”

2. Josephine

“Hi guys. I’ve just started a blog based on your recommendation, but I’m feeling stuck. How do I come up with ideas for blog topics? I want to make sure I have interesting topics that people will want to read, but I’m stuck for ideas. Thanks for your help!”

3. Camile, Calgary

“I am a psychologist in Calgary, Alberta. I see a variety of clients so I don’t have a niche. I’d like to develop some online courses in the near future. I have 2 questions: My first question: Since I don’t have a specialty/niche area for my practice, I am wondering how it would work if I did a course on healthy sexuality. There doesn’t seem to be much out there on this topic.

My second question: I’ve done a bit of research and it seems you need a lot of technology to offer a course online- and the technology is expensive! How can I limit the amount of time and money I spend on setting this up?”
