My guest today is Amanda Gallinger of Creative Business Collective, a marketing and business strategy expert who helps passionate creatives build profitable online businesses.
What blows my mind about Amanda, aside from all the business-changing advice she’s about to share with you in this episode is that a few years ago, she found my free 5 Day Website Challenge and used it to learn WordPress and build all of her websites.
I mean, she’s a massively successful business owner and I had no idea that she’d used my training to help her get a handle on WordPress!
So she’d been on my mailing list for awhile, which I also had no idea, and then she replied to one of my newsletters one day and asked me to do a bonus training inside of her Soulful Selling Course to walk her students through what they needed to do to get their websites set up.
Which of course I said yes – and then as I always do, I used an invitation to be on the podcast as a way to get to know her better and pick her marketing expert brain for you guys!
My interview with Amanda left my head spinning, in a good way!!
So typically when a guest comes on the show, I’m recording from the moment they hop on, we chit chat, I do a little countdown and then I introduce them and we just roll from there… But with Amanda, we hit it off so well at the beginning that we just rolled right into to it – so let’s go ahead and dive into my interview with Amanda Gallinger of Creative Business Collective.
Amanda and I talk about:
- Amanda's transition from corporate to self-employed.
- How Amanda helps her clients package up their zone of genius as a premium service.
- Why Amanda started selling her coaching packages at a premium price from the beginning (and how you can too).
- The one thing your website must have on it to stand out online.
- The number one thing you can do that will lead to your success.
- Why hourly pricing isn’t good for you or your ideal client and what to do instead.
- What a “value ladder” is and how to use it in your business.
- Why you feel so busy but you’re not making any money – and how to fix it.
- Amanda’s 90 day rule and how to apply it in your own business.
- Amanda’s advice for someone who is just starting out and struggling to get traction.
- The one belief Amanda had to change about herself to get where she is today.
My favorite quotes from Amanda:
- “What’s in your tool box that you can turn around and use to reinvent yourself?”
- “When someone buys from you, often times they are buying from you because they really like you and they want to be in your energy.”
- “When people pay, they pay attention.”
