Below is a sample of the emails you can expect to receive when signed up to Course Cats.
Have you ever started to talk to someone you thought you knew but it turned out to be the wrong person?
Awkward, right? That's one of those moments when you wish you could just melt and evaporate into thing air. And the worst thing is that it replays in your head, over and over, in the most unexpected time.
Well, if your course business was a person, that conversation would be equivalent to your ads show up in random person's FB feed. By random person we mean people who don’t know you, don’t care about you or whatever you’re offering because They. Don’t. Need. it.
When this happens, you get blocked, you get flagged as irrelevant and you get shut down. Oof! Your ad disappears together with your course business success that could have been.
So next time you launch make sure you’re talking to the right person and save your business from awkward, downspiraling moments.
Don’t know how?
Here’s the best way to learn.
Here's to avoiding awkward encounters.

Countdowns are awesome.
Think New Year. As soon as the clock hits 11:59 PM, we start counting down the seconds until midnight. Once it’s 12:01 AM the sparkling new year our energies and hopes are recharged back to 100% and we’re ready for whatever comes next.
The timer above?
It’s counting down to April 22nd, 11:59 PM Pacific. That's when enrollment closes for our epic April workshop.
That’s when we get the final list of registrants for HOW TO GENERATE NONSTOP LEADS WITH LINKEDIN (even if you haven’t logged in for 5 years!)
And if you think we love countdowns, you’ll be surprised about how much we obsess about lists - especially when we see your name on it.
It inspires and challenges us to keep creating awesome opportunities for online business owners like you!
Because it shows that you’re hungry for growth.
You’re action takers.
And you’re serious about your business.
*game face on*
So let’s not stop! This is our 3rd put-an-expert-in-the-hot-seat workshop and it’s all about LinkedIn and lead gen. If you’re trying to get the hang of LinkedIn or you’re wondering how to generate nonstop quality leads, then this is the workshop for you!
We’ll be hitting 2 birds with one stone plus we’ll be going one step closer to the top!
Stop hesitating and get your name on that list! All the details are right here.
3...2...1... see you there!

P.S. Registration closes once the timer above hits 00:00:00. FOMO is real - don't miss out!
Eh, this is not the place for that.
We don’t have dirty virtual summit secrets.
We don’t deal with dirty.
Or sneaky.
Or tricky.
Nope.
We make sure that all the secrets that we will share in our upcoming How to Triple Your Income Using Virtual Summits (Even In A Tiny Niche) have been tried and proven to work.
We recruited the best person to share these secrets with you - BREE NOBLE!
She is an entrepreneur, speaker, podcast host, musician and best-selling author form Southern California who has created several successful courses in the music education space and a thriving niche membership site called the Female Musician Academy (approx 200 members).
She's been an Accelerator Coach for Create Awesome Online Courses and has helped creators build successful courses & membership sites in several niche fields including fiddle & guitar lessons, gig booking, music licensing, handmade crafts, business education, mom-preneurship, personal development & more.
Whew! That’s a mouthful.

When we’re busy, we tend to forget a few things. #ultimatehumanflaw
Just in case it slipped your mind, you’ve got a few more hours to register for HOW TO GENERATE NONSTOP LEADS WITH LINKEDIN (even if you haven’t logged in for 5 years!)
Once it ends. It ends. You will miss the live workshop forever.
What happens then?
You won’t discover how to use LinkedIn to generate quality leads through optimizing your profile and cast the “messaging magic” the John Nemo uses to help his clients get their leads like Woah! Unless you hire him as a coach or a mentor. That means you’ll probably spend 10x more than your small investment in this workshop!
It’s like a personal handmade gift from someone you cherish the most. It can’t be duplicated or replicated.
Darn it.
Now jump in while you still have time!
And never hit and miss your lead gen strategy anymore. Go for the gold every time you look for prospects and send your messages.

There are a lot of elements that “boo” your website visitors away and make them go running while screaming without you ever getting the opportunity to let them know how you can help them learn whatever it is that you’re teaching.
Some you can control, others you can’t really tame like suuuuuper poor internet connection. We really can’t do anything about that. But what we can do is to work on what it is that we can control.
And without a doubt, one of the key elements that will keep your visitors scrolling and checking your website is User Interface.
User interface is a lot of things. But the key elements of a good UI is website design and a natural, intuitive interface.
Mouse pointers ghosting, or buttons leading to the wrong pages, web design that looks more patched up than Frankenstein is a NO-NO! An ugly, buggy website might give people the impression that you’re kinda scammy!
So let’s fix it, right?
Easy to say. Months and months of nightmare to go through.
But we solved that for you with CourseCats!
Plug it into your website and you get the ultimate theme for your courses and other digital products! You’ll get an awesome homepage and custom landing pages that will keep your audience hooked to your website!
Aaaand...we made it even better with a 50% OFF promo just for this Halloween week!
The CourseCats SPOOKTACULAR SALE lasts only until October 31st, 2020 at 11:59pm PST.
So you have 2 choices.
ONE...months and months of nightmares trying to make your website UI better
TWO...purchase CourseCats at 50% OFF for an awesome website that will never scare your audience away!

Choose wisely!
First, we define the “gifts”...
You see, we consider our emails mini gifts to you. Disappointed? Please don’t be. Our sole purpose of existence in this time and day is to equip you with everything you need to grow and succeed as a course creator and entrepreneur.
We hate to sound like a broken record but that’s really what it is, who we are, and our why. We’re not gonna change!
We don’t want these emails to be for nothing. We want to consistently give value. We live for the smile on your face whenever you get an email from us. So we’re reaching out to ask you to choose your gifts! This month, we sent emails about positioning, messaging, productivity, copywriting, and content creation. We want to know your thoughts and we want to know more about the topics you want us to talk about.
You can answer this survey in 60-seconds. No essays unless you want to write one. We’ll read it from the first word to the last!
Here’s the form → https://forms.gle/MFbMDbfKCwfKHo8D7
We’d tell you to grab a snack but you’ll be done with this survey even before you get your second bite!

It’s going to be nerve wracking.
Your heart will pump sooooo fast, your palms will be sweaty, knees weak, arms heavy (cue Lose Yourself by Eminem)...
When you’re interviewing an expert during your virtual summit, a lot can go wrong.
Crickets, awkward silence, jumbling words, and sounding too nervous are just a few possible scenarios that can ruin everything that you have prepared for.
So, before you go live and get up close with your expert, you have to be prepared for what can happen. Your preparation should always start with research.
You should:
After doing your research, start writing your questions. Craft them in a way that won’t limit your expert BUT see to it that they won’t drift away from the topic. AND during the interview, don’t stick to your questions. You don’t have to ask everything that you prepared especially if it doesn't fit with the flow of the conversation. Be prepared to skip around and adjust as needed (after all, you have PREPARED for this. :)
And one thing that we often forget is to listen.
When talking to someone we want our questions and responses to be oh so perfect that we forget to try to listen to what the other person is saying.
When that happens, things can get weird fast. Either you ask something that they already covered or ask something that doesn't follow what they just said. We don’t want that to happen.
There are just a few things that you need to iron out for your interview. Being a good interviewer takes time and practice but with these tips, you will have a good head start.
Want more? Save your seat in the How to Triple Your Income Using Virtual Summits (Even In A Tiny Niche) training.
Our virtual summit guru, Bree Noble, has a lot of expert advice to spill during the training!
Be the best interviewer!

Just like every time you turn on your coffee maker first thing in the morning and it starts to brew that Arabic goodness, we're brewing something up that will excite the online course creator in you!
And you'll want to get in on this.
First, because it has that caffeine punch that will wake up your online business and help you get results in the long run. It's not a course that runs for months. It's a three-part mini-training series where you will learn where to focus your time, energy, and money to create a successful online course no matter where you are in your business right now.
Our founder, DSG will be teaching this mini-training series. All of the stuff that he will be talking about is what he learned from 10 years of being in the biz and teaching over 5,000 students in over 100 countries!
Second, we're pouring the steamed milk into that shot of espresso and we'll deliver all this goodness to you without you having to swipe your card! There will be no opt-ins, no sign-ups, nada. This will be sent to your email over the next three days.
We could've just said that it's for FREE, right?
Yeah, true. It is free of charge. But there's one thing we want you to do after this mini-training series.
WE WANT YOU TO APPLY WHAT YOU LEARNED - NO MATTER HOW SMALL YOU THINK THAT ACTION IS.
Small actions are proven to be pivotal. Think of that small lego piece that you stepped on or when you stubbed your little toe at night when you run to the toilet in the dark. Okay, too negative...how about that moment when a pinch of salt is the only thing standing in front of you and the perfectly seasoned steak?
Small things that you think won't affect anything sometimes surprise you with bigger results than you expected.
And finally, KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT ACTION IS STILL INACTION. ? Definitely heard this from somewhere.
A lot of us fall into this trap. We start learning about something that can be useful in our biz thinking that we're doing something to grow the biz. But no matter how many strategies or formulas you know if you keep pushing to the next time when things are "right" then, you're not doing anything. You only spent hours, days, and even weeks learning something that you won't use.
So after the mini-training series, we challenge you to do something with it!
Excited?
We're sending you the first video tomorrow! Drag this email to your PRIMARY folder, mark it as important, or give it a star so you won't miss it.
Now on to that cuppa!
So first of all, welcome! So glad you are subscribed up.

Exaggeration is not our thing.
We like dealing with facts.
We don’t create workshops and programs based on theory.
Facts, baby. Pure facts.

Most programs like this go out for $6,000++. But we wanted to make you see and feel that success is at arm’s reach. So we made this way way way more affordable!
Enrollment is $3,000
When you join the program, you will get:
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO APPLY FOR A SLOT. The program officially starts June 15th so we are closing applications TONIGHT.
Woah!

Only a few mere slots remaining!
See you on the other side!

For so many people, the future is uncertain right now.
It’s very reminiscent of the 2008 recession, a time when my friend Pat Flynn was let go from his dream job at an architecture firm. And although that was a difficult time in his life, he says that looking back, it was a huge opportunity in disguise.
He used that time to build an income from affiliate marketing, which has earned him millions of dollars to date, and he’s going to teach you how you can create revenue for your business from affiliate offers, without being a sleazy internet marketer.
Join us on Friday, September 25th at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time [Noon CST / 1 p.m. EST] for a FREE Affiliate Marketing Masterclass with Pat Flynn – How to Monetize the Brand You've Built (Without Being Salesy or Sleazy).
He'll be covering what makes for a strong affiliate marketing campaign, how to identify the right products to promote, and how to make the most of your existing affiliate campaigns.

Quarantine storytime!
So a member of our team got these hair clippers to give their kiddos a quick haircut.
Now the younger son went first, sat there, and behaved like a good soldier. But instead of the standard military cut, he got a full shave instead.
And this was absolutely okay. He looked good. He had beautiful hazel eyes and it showed with all the hair out of the way. He was happy, mom (Rise To The Top teammate) was happy, dad said it was okay, mhmmm.
It was the older son’s turn.
This 5-year-old chatterbox didn’t sit still like his younger brother, No siree. He put up a fight with full pillow gear, lightsabers, and all. And he had the dog by his side.
He didn’t want mom to touch his hair. And he kept screaming that mom wasn’t an expert because he only saw her do this once and he didn’t want his “luscious locks” (exact words) to be cut or even just touched by an amateur.
This went on for 20 looooooong minutes until mom gave up.
Takeaway?
The older son is like your audience.
They have to see to believe your claim. It’s easy to add “expert in this thing” on your bio but it takes a little bit more to prove it. And we’re not talking about result screenshots, reviews, and feedback only.
One proven way of building authority is to share bits and pieces of information that is not something that you can easily find on Google.
On social media, you can share something about:
It’s sort of like tell, show, and TEACH kind of thing.
When you start doing that, not only are you building authority but you are also building a genuine and valuable network that will help your business RISE TO THE TOP!

Watch out! Lots of stats ahead!
62 million people listen to podcasts weekly.
And Nielsen Research reports that 80% of these podcast listeners listen to all or most of the whole episode. And we all know that podcast episodes go from 30 minutes up to an hour or more.
What does this mean?
People having a short attention span = MYTH BUSTED!
Not everyone has a short attention span and we shouldn’t only publish ultra-short content. Trying to share valuable info in 150 characters? NAHH!
Podcasts have given us the opportunity to deep dive into a subject without boring our audience to sleep. And mind you, in the US, it’s been reported that listeners are hyper-engaged, super-supportive audiences!
Why?
Podcasts require ZERO visual attention. You don’t have to silence the whole world and bump up your concentration skills or stop whatever it is that you’re doing to consume and understand the content.
You can do the laundry, drive to work, workout, or mow the lawn while listening to valuable content from your favorite podcaster.
And all of this is to our advantage as course creator entrepreneurs. When we have a podcast, we can:
And did you know that 54% of podcast consumers say they think about buying an advertised product? How much more will they likely purchase a product AKA your course that has been promoted or recommended in a podcast episode that they have been hooked to for an hour or more?
Although it has been around for a while, it is not yet as saturated as marketing in other social media platforms. Truth is, it’s still an untapped marketing resource that you won’t regret trying!
So if you’re considering or are serious about starting a podcast, come and JOIN US in our next Rise Inner Circle Training! Sabrina Ricci from the famous I Know Dino podcast will be joining DSG in teaching HOW TO START A PODCAST!
Training goes live on November 19th at 3 pm CST. Join RISE INNER CIRCLE NOW!

Success is on it’s way!
They say it’s all in the mind. It’s all about perspective but to hell with that.
The world is full of bad, heartbreaking news. News that would push you to build a time machine to go back in time and reverse the events to prevent the bad news from happening.
Sadly, our technology isn’t that advanced yet for us to build a time machine that would not keep us, somewhere in the vast space-time continuum.
So let’s make do with what we have and control what we can.
Let’s make the right decisions before a painful heartbreak happens. Right decisions like enrolling in the 90-day Accelerator Program TODAY, RIGHT NOW, ASAP!
It closes tomorrow and you won’t want to get the bad news that you were too late.
Trust us, a time machine is far from possible right now. We tried. Several times.
Are you joining?
We’ll probably need alien tech for that time machine. Whatcha think?
You know that one sentence that a course creator should have in their daily mantra?
ALWAYS BE PITCHING!
You don’t necessarily have to have a pitch deck and start presenting to random people you meet. That’s like a funny comic strip you’ll see in the Sunday newspaper.
What we mean is, that wherever you’re present, you should be able to tell the world about you and what you can do for them. Right now, your strongest presence is where you show up the most and where you interact the most with your audience and potential ones, ergo, social media. Enter Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and all your other platforms.
The first thing that your audience is going to see when they come across these platforms is your bio. Usually, there’s a very short maximum character limit. On Facebook, your personal bio should only be 101 characters long. Instagram is more forgiving with 150 characters and LinkedIn headlines are 120 characters.
This sentence is the first impression you send to unsuspecting potential students or enrollees who read something you've posted and wanted to know if you were worth seeing more on their feeds.
So...what do you say? What is your one-sentence pitch?
A lot would run to the I-help-people-achieve-this-by-doing-this statements. But that’s so bland and boring and you have more pizzaz than that!
What to do?
Here’s the Rise To The Top tip: don’t write one whole sentence with unnecessary words, use line breaks, more verbs and adjectives, AND if it suits your brand, use emojis.
Quick sample:
Instead of:
I help moms with toddlers manage their time so that they can keep their career and handle parenthood like a boss
You can say:
Time management for moms with tots | career growth ?? & parenthood like a boss ??
That’s the same message only 40 characters shorter! And you can use those 40 characters to talk more about how you can help them or tell them something interesting about you that would make them “like” you more.
Your bio can be:
Time management for moms with tots | career growth ?? & parenthood like a boss ?? | OIC of 2 kids 2 cats 1 furry dog
That last phrase right there shows that you are speaking from experience, you expressed something personal that they can relate to, and it shows a little of your personality!
That is your pitch - -no presentation decks needed!
Start pitching!

And of course, we’ll make sure that your questions about HOW TO START A PODCAST will be answered, RISE INNER CIRCLE style! Once we’re live on training, keeping questions to yourself is a crime!

So, Monday June 8th at 11:59 PM Pacific is when we are going to cut off applications for the Create Awesome Online Courses Accelerator Program.
The program begins June 15th and runs for 90 days and we already have an AMAZING group of Accelerators who are signed up and ready to roll.
Over the past few weeks you’ve heard a lot about the program.
THE GOAL of the program is simple. Accelerate your results (accomplish way more…and do it better with help…not just trying to it yourself).
Last year the Create Awesome Online Courses Accelerator program kicked major butt and this year…even more butt (is that more of a thing?)
Why?
A few reasons…
#1: We have made the 2020 program available for all levels of course creators.
It doesn’t matter where you are at today (whether you are just getting started, a Jedi master looking to scale or somewhere in-between). This program is as unique as you are.
#2: We have structured accountability
This is a BIG thing. Meaning, our team and your coach will be there alongside you to not only guide, but make sure you are accountable. We know building an online business (especially now) can be a lonely venture. It helps knowing someone has your back and will check in with you to keep you on track.
This all takes place via Slack (and if you haven’t used Slack before don’t worry we will show you how to do it).
#3: Full group calls with hot seats
Each week the Accelerator group meets with your coach, Coach Merilyn on Zoom (and monthly with DSG). Not only is this a chance to ask questions live, but you can also submit a request for a hot seat where you will take off mute and work through issues/challenges/questions.
Even if you don’t want to do a hot seat (they are not required), the cool thing about hot seats is often times you will learn a TON from other people and their business. It will inspire and help your own as well.
#4: More affordable and accessible price point.
For the 90 day Accelerator, the special cost for 90 days in the program is $3,000.

Mark Twain’s Mulberry Sellers was famous for that line.
But it wasn’t a Mark Twain original.
He indirectly got it from Dahlonega Mint assayer Dr. M.F. Stephenson who yelled it from the steps of the Lumpkin County Courthouse in 1849 to prevent miners from going to California from Georgia for the gold rush.
Fast forward to 2020, we’re going to use that statement, too, because we hate to see you rushing towards seemingly “better” lead gen opportunities when there’s gold waiting for you on LinkedIn.
Here are the facts:
Connect the dots and you’re on your way to a failproof lead gen strategy that will send quality leads to your courses!
As your partners in getting to the top (where you belong), we won’t lead you to LinkedIn without holding your hand and showing you the tips and tricks that will help you strike gold ASAP.
That’s why we prepared a LinkedIn Lead Gen workshop that we’re sure you’ll love!
We’re inviting you to join HOW TO GENERATE NONSTOP LEADS WITH LINKEDIN (even if you haven’t logged in for 5 years!)

With all the chaos and panic that’s going on around us, it’s not difficult to feel uncertain.
We don’t have a clear picture of what’s really happening, and no one’s really telling us what’s going to happen next.
All we are told is to practice good hygiene and to stay indoors.
But in spite of everything that’s going on around us, we should keep an open mind, and be hopeful. Because just like all the worst things that have happened to us before, we survived.
And remember that we are equipped, more than ever, with better healthcare facilities, faster communication, and more advanced technology.
In the spirit of positivity, let us make the most of our situation.
Let us enjoy our stay indoors and use the time to work on our online businesses and scale! If you have been putting it off, now is the best time to start as well.
Your audience is at home, they want to use their time productively, they want to try new things and learn new skills. You can teach them how.
It’s funny as you look at Facebook feeds right now...here is just some of what we have been seeing:
"Stuck at home Day #5. Just signed up for an online art class HOW COOL!"
"Signed up for an online French course. Being at home isn't so bad ??;) Bonjour."
"So, I figured when the kids nap it's a perfect time for me to finally start my side hustle. No more excuses. Just me, a big coffee and getting my new website up, then finally creating my online course."
"Gym's closed. Bought camera. Teaching online yoga classes starting tomorrow. Making the best out of it!"
If you have something to teach...now is the time to teach it or share (or re-share) with your audience.
And you can do so with compassion and grace. Don’t be afraid to help people with your products and programs.
We know how you can be hesitant, especially when you’re just starting out or if you’re going to the next level (and nervous if now is the right time to do anything). However, there comes a time when you have to get over the uncertainty and go for it.
Of course, we won’t let you do the jump without the bungee.
If the timing is right for you, we want to support you and make sure you have the tools, strategies and tactics to be successful selling your knowledge online (and more important than selling...getting people results).
We at The Rise To The Top will equip you with the knowledge that you need to start or to scale! We have all the training you need to do it. And to help you, we are offering $100 OFF of all the training in our vault...courses, workshops and much more.

It’s so magical when it happens in the movies.
Serendipity defined is when the universe and time orchestrates a string of events that will make every hopeless romantic swoon and every gambler hold the winning card just before he loses everything he owns in his life. Ahh…
HALT! Snap out of the daydream, sweetie!
That doesn’t happen in marketing. Wins don’t happen by chance. Sales don’t romantically appear in front of you when the elevator opens.
Na-uh.
You need strategy. And when it comes to launching a Facebook ad, one of the most important elements is your TARGETING.
Without accuracy in your targeting, your ad won’t appear where you want it to appear -- in your ideal audience’s feed. No matter how much better it is than your competitor’s it won’t be seen. It won’t get the views, the clicks, the engagement, or the conversions.
Course sales? ZERO! Better not launch an ad at all.
But of course, you won’t listen to that advice. You’re receiving this email which means you want to rise to the top with us. You’re an action taker. And when it comes to launching your ad, joining us in the FACEBOOK ADS TARGETING MASTERY workshop is the best action to take before investing your ad budget.
Why?
We’ll teach you how to lock in your perfect target audience using tried, tested, and winning strategies from none other than someone who has been successful in scaling digital product businesses using Facebook ads, Alvaro Berrios!
This opportunity will never happen again. Are you grabbing it or will you be waiting for chance and luck to get you and your course biz where you deserve to be?

By now you know that creating a successful online course business isn’t for the faint of heart.
It is a crazy process...
That will keep you up at night...
Coffee will be your new BFF...
We’ve learned that one of the best ways to get it done is with a group of people crazy enough to do it with you.
And it’s not just because of accountability or some cheesy we-enrolled-together-we graduate-together real-life rom-com.
Being with like-minded people helps you overcome frustrating, discouraging, and I-give-up moments.
You gain a feeling of belongingness and being people who share your goal can give you that extra push to get through the harder times.
That’s why KNEW having a private Slack workspace for the CAOC ACCELERATOR PROGRAM was a MUST. This is a place where you can engage, interact, and discuss with other people in your spot (or a little further down the road who have been there and done that), in addition to your expert course coach and the RISE team (that's right - DSG's right and left hand are in there to help you navigate the material and give you feedback).
There are also weekly and monthly group calls where you will be encouraged to raise your questions and share your experiences!
CAOC is fun, but we made it even more FUN AND FAILPROOF with this program.

A message from DSG:
The other day someone asked me in regards to the Create Awesome Online Courses Accelerator program… “After filling out an application, why do you schedule a phone call a member of your team?”
It’s a great question.
BECAUSE…everything about the Accelerator is 100% transparent. How it works, the benefits and the price can all be found on the application page (in the video).
BUT at the end of the day, we want to make sure this program is a massive win for you. And we want to make sure you are ready for it and we can really help you.
Unlike other companies out there, we won’t blindly take your money. My team is trained to look for FIT.
And of course…answer your questions (answered by a real live human being).
With the deadline approaching SOON, if you are at all curious, excited, nervous (or whatever emotion is coming out) and want help over 90 days to accelerate your business (regardless of where you are at now from just getting started to seasoned pro)…I would highly encourage applying.
We are looking forward to your application.
-DSG
As DSG mentions above…now is the time as the deadline is approaching. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make more progress in the next 90 days than the previous three years (combined).
Apply right here and schedule a call with Eleanore from our team.
Psychics and seers say that one of the reasons why ghosts and spirits attach themselves to you is because they want to correct a mistake or they’re reliving something in their past that they want to change through you.
Bad spirits in particular cause eerie, unexplained events that make you want to pray everything was just a dream. Cure horror instrumental
But spirits and ghosts aren’t the only ones that can haunt you.
REGRET is something that can persistently turn your waking life into a nightmare for years.
Especially when it’s saying NO to a SPOOKTACULAR offer - an awesome half-price-off sale that has not been done since the beginning of time for a course that can make your dreams come true.
Yep.
The CAOC SPOOKTACULAR SALE ends TOMORROW at 11:59 pm CST.
GRAB IT NOW before it changes back to its original $997 price tag and you’ll be haunted with REGRET for LIFE!
Cheers to NO REGRETS!
Unlike Major Tom, you won’t ever float away in a tin can in the vast nothingness once you launch your ad.
We won’t let that happen.
When we said we’ll teach you how to target your perfect audience, we’ll share what we know, what we tried, and what worked, WE’LL DO IT. No holding back!
We will never let this turn into an investment without sure returns. That’s not how we do business. Nope! That’s why we’ve invited an awesome speaker to lead this workshop. When we were planning, we had an agreement that if we didn’t get this person onboard, this workshop is not happening.
We were ready to get on our knees and beg. But all it took was a quick email and he was down with it, 100% with the enthusiasm of an 8 year old in an amusement park!
So on the 16th, join us as we learn all the Facebook Ad Targeting strategies of one of the best targeting geniuses for online coaches and course creators, Alvaro Berrios!
If you’re wondering how to look for your ideal audience, let them see your ad, and avoid ad fatigue so that you scale your online course biz to the next level, you would want to have a seat in this workshop. This is the real deal. He’s managed multi-million dollar ad campaigns and has created millions in sales for other online businesses. This is the first step in making that happen for you business, too!

So we probably won’t see the usual queue of people outside their favorite stores to snag the best deals this Black Friday but it doesn’t mean that BF is but a dwindling memory of years past.
That is especially true if you put an awesome deal on a course, service, or product that your audience has been waiting to get their hands on!
While you can announce a great deal on whatever it is that you’re selling anytime of the year, remember that we have been wired to wait and grab awesome deals this time of the year. That means your audience will more likely shake on it this shopping season than on any of the other 51 Fridays on the 2020 calendar. Up top customer psychology! ?
So the question now is…
Are you launching a something something for your audience this BF?
WE ARE!
And we’re letting you know about it in a while! We’ll drop it like it’s hot (because it is!) in your inbox and mind you, it won’t be deal, IT’S GONNA BE A STEAL!
Watch out, watch out!
To be frank, yes.
The key is that after thinking and planning, you have to execute.We know how easy it is to say “Take action”. It's a two-syllable, two-word phrase that anyone can spew out.
But, there’s a lot involved in making your plans and processes work --there’s
We want to make sure you execute. That's why we created the CAOC ACCELERATOR PROGRAM. To practice what we preach, and to help you "take action."
So, how exactly does that happen? Great question!
This program helps you generate massive momentum through accountability, implementation and direct feedback from an expert CAOC course coach.
All questions answered, all doubts destroyed. You’ll also get on weekly calls with your course coach and a group of other course creators AND have monthly calls with DSG...plus exercises to hold you accountable for your progress and more!
Excited? Do you feel as if this program was created specifically for you?
Watch this very quick video right here and submit your application.
This is NOT a test. We just want to know more about you to make sure the program is right for you, right now.
Jump into your success’ fast lane, but hurry - spots are limited and we would hate for you to miss this opportunity!

Creating a YouTube Channel should be like second nature to online business owners.
It’s a common-sense answer to “what’s next” after successfully launching your programs. Yowza!
Or...you may have even started with a YouTube channel and found out that there are people who find what you say interesting and thought, “why not create a course and monetize?”
Right?
So whether you’re just planning on starting a channel or you’re on your journey to growing it, here are some cardinal sins that a lot of YouTubers commonly make and how to dodge ‘em!

In botany, they’re the hardcore plants that stay green and sturdy no matter how hard the winter is. Once the snow falls, they turn into this romantic and refreshing backdrop against an all-white landscape. Looking at it is therapeutic and comforting.
It’s the same in business. You’ll find comfort and satisfaction in an evergreen venture. You’ll get peace of mind knowing that you’ll always have a cash reserve to pay the bills, your needs, and a few good things in life.
There are a lot of evergreen business niches that you can explore. Do a quick Google consult and you might end up with choice paralysis. We mean, as long as you see a constant need in your market -- not just a fast disappearing trend, it can turn into an evergreen venture.
You’ll see options like:
But something that hasn’t been published a lot yet as an evergreen venture is ACCELERATOR PROGRAMS! Humor this, people are not just looking to learn. They are looking to connect and have genuine relationships from people that they want to learn from. They want specific answers to their questions.
And they know that to be an expert, they would need more guidance from someone who can do what they want to learn with their eyes closed.
All of that is solved by an ACCELERATOR PROGRAM! It has coaching prompts, accountability, tech hand-holding, mindset hacking, etc.
But not all accelerator courses are designed to be evergreen. Some are stressful, time-consuming programs (especially when you’re growing it), and you might end up swearing you’ll never do it again.
You don’t want that. You don’t need that extra stress.
That’s why in our most recent workshop, HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN HIGH-TICKET ACCELERATOR PROGRAM, we’ll be teaching you how to set up, manage, and grow your accelerator program EVERGREEN-STYLE so that no matter how hard and cold the winters will be for your business, you’ll still have a comforting and majestic venture that will bring in the profits!
Want in on this?
Register for the HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN HIGH-TICKET ACCELERATOR PROGRAM workshop!
Registrations open until Aug 19, 2020.
Going live on Aug 20, 2020 at 3:00pm!
Evergreen lifestyle ain’t bad,
- DSG and The Rise To The Top Team
Because it works.
Never mind preparing binders of contingency plans that go all the way to plan Z just in case it will fail. You don’t need to anymore.
John Nemo’s 3P’s secrets that will be revealed during our workshop, HOW TO GENERATE NONSTOP LEADS WITH LINKEDIN (even if you haven’t logged in for 5 years!), will get you the results that you have been dying to get from previous lead gen attempts.
But don’t take our word for it!
Hear it from those who took the chance and reaped the rewards.
“I wanted to “get results” using LinkedIn, as I was struggling with it for a while. I just never thought of it as a real source of leads only as a place where you more or less store contacts.
John’s course LinkedIn Riches, changed all that. After going through the program I realized that the way I was approaching LinkedIn needed to be changed. I found myself getting many more people to my blog 50pluswebmarketing.com after following John’s instructions. Just from people viewing my profile, which in itself had increased dramatically after the course.
His tips were spot on, in fact, I’ve recommended his training to many of my clients.”
“John is a marketing wizard and his magic is his LinkedIn strategy. He knows LinkedIn better than LinkedIn knows LinkedIn. Even more important than that he knows what works and why his insight and experience and his recommendations are like hitting the LinkedIn lotto.
I could go on and on but that is not going to help you so my recommendation is if you use Linkedin to find customers looking for a job or just connect with like-minded people, John is your coach. Take the time and consume John's content listen to his webinars pay attention to him he is the real deal.”
“Guru' doesn't begin to describe John Nemo when it comes to transforming LinkedIn profiles. John went above and beyond what he promised when working with me on my specific needs for a dynamic profile. I was impressed with not only his extensive knowledge of the powers of LinkedIn but also with his attention to detail when aligning with my personal goals. I can count on John to help when I need to find clients who need my services and to extend my reach. Anyone looking to stand out in a crowd and discover the untapped power their LinkedIn accounts need to work with John Nemo.”
Now close your eyes and imagine yourself enjoying these results after plugging in the golden nuggets that you will get from this workshop.
Are your lead gen dreams coming true?
Yes?
Go ahead and grab it for yourself!

Let’s talk about pumpkin spice.
Yes, the spice that finds it’s way into your coffee, pie, and every menu in almost every restaurant, bakeshop, and even your Bath and Body outlet every time the leaves start getting their yellow-red-orange hues.
It has the perfect blend of spices that gives you a warm, loving embrace that gets sooooo close to that comforting feeling you get from your mom’s evening hugs.
A just a sip (or sniff) of it would make you ascend from your Summer blues and into the most picturesque season of all...atleast according to us!
You’ve never experienced the best of Fall without it!
BUT
This Fall 2020, there’s something better than THE spice that fell from the deities’ kitchen.
It’s a bit halloween-y.
A treat, no trick-y.
And it will surely make you “fall” off your seats!
You probably guessed what it is already. In case you didn’t…
We’ve launched the best thing that ever happened in Fall, yesterday!
This season, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GRAB CREATE AMAZING ONLINE COURSES FOR $497 ONLY! That’s 50% off the usual price!
It’s the CAOC SPOOKTACULAR SALE and you’ll be able to get it at it’s discounted price until October 31st, 2020 at 11:59 pm PST.

Will you say no to a gift?
This email comes with a timer. Dang it!
And it’s counting down to the closing of enrollments for the CAOC Accelerator Program.

Right now, dozens of course creators have already enrolled ready to kick it off. But we’re waiting…
For a someone…
And that is…

They’re admittedly not the most affectionate animal.
But who hasn't spect at least a fraction of their day just sipping coffee from a huge mug and watching cat videos?
They’re cute, they’re intelligent, always manager to land on their feet, and can sometimes have human-like reactions that we can relate to oh-so much.
But, did you know that cats are the best sleep aid?
According to Feline Behaviorist Rita Reimers, “You have a built-in sleep aid when you have a cat in the house who can purr you a lullaby as you drift off to sleep.”
A cat’s purr can calm us down and give us reassurance.
But a cat’s purr isn’t the only reassuring and calming thing about them especially when you’re an online business owner and you’re trying to build your website!
COURSECATS is a WordPress theme that will definitely allow you a good night’s rest knowing you have an amazing website that you subscribers will enjoy using! → See it in action here
You’ll never get that spammy feeling looking at your site with all the arrows and buttons and weird borders that you just can’t seem to remove no matter how hard you try.
While Coursecats is designed specifically for online courses, CONVERSION CATS is a fit for almost everyone as it provides features and functions that will give you superbly designed web pages where you can build your email list, feature video clips and blog posts, and even build landing pages for your lead gen campaigns. → See it in action here!
Both of these are usually available for a 30-day FREE trial, but we've extended it and are now offering a 60-day FREE trial - cancel anytime, no strings attached! Yipee!

While we can always show you the big picture and results. We opt not to do that. You’ll observe that all our training and workshops would walk you through the step-by-step strategy. WHY?
ONE: Baby steps. Rushing to the end would look like the results that we promise you’ll get is only for experts who have been doing it for years. When we break it down to baby steps you’ll find that you’ll be able to easily tick off each step in your to-do list.
TWO: Less stress and overwhelm. You get to see what you need to do first so that you can move on to the next. It’s like the domino effect in action. One thing has to happen first before the next thing happens. It’s not a do-everything-at-once process. No overwhelm, less stress. EZPZ!
THREE: It’s organized! One key skill of a course creator is to make sure your message is clear. To be clear, you have to be organized. We want to set the example and we practice what we preach, of course!
And that is why in our next workshop HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN HIGH-TICKET ACCELERATOR PROGRAM you’ll go through:
?? COMPLETE STEP-BY-STEP TRAINING to creating your own high-ticket Accelerator program that combines accountability, coaching, and implementation
?? How to price your Accelerator program and find the sweet spot between too cheap and too expensive plus HOW TO MAXIMIZE PROFITABILITY

In these very unpredictable times, we are all called to support each other and make life a little bit easier where we can.
As online entrepreneurs, we support those who learn with us by providing value and reassurance that even though the social landscape and life as we know it is changing, it is far from “the end”. As a result, we still need to grow and improve as individuals.
To empower you as you support those who are striving to learn something new with you, we are offering something very special to help you make the best of any extra time you might be spending at home:
A 60-day FREE trial for Coursecats or Conversion Cats.
That's right, we are doubling the length of our normal trial to ensure you have the all time you need to get your site up and running before you pay us a single dime.
But wait, there's more.
As a bonus, we're ALSO including our The Lead Magnet Generator when you sign up for a trial on either platform.
What's the The Lead Magnet Generator?
We're so glad you asked.
This special design package contains easy to customize templates to create cheatsheets, ebooks and checklists so you have everything you need to create your opt-in and deliver it to your target audience. Alongside the templates are videos that walk you through the process of customising the templates to fit your brand and offer. Boom.
The 60-day FREE trial for Coursecats and Conversion Cats with the Lead Magnet Generator is everything you need to optimize your website and create your landing page for a launch.
These WordPress themes are specifically made for you and your subscribers and removes the hassle of trying to customize a theme that is made for other industries. And we made sure that it would be easy to navigate for your visitors!
You won’t need to hire a web developer or a graphic designer again.
Both themes come with our Cats Concierge service to help take the stress away from setting up the annoying tech stuff (hosting, installing WordPress, etc.) so you can focus on getting down to business (adding content, growing your email list and selling courses!). You also get 100% human support from our asesome Cats support team, so if at any time you happen to find yourself in a pickle, just hollar and we’ll be right there for you.

It’s annoying, right?
You go to this specific restaurant because you’re craving for that specific dish. You go to your table and your waiter hands you the menu. As soon as he asks you what you’d like, your mind draws a blank!
THERE ARE SOO MANY DISHES ON THE MENU.
You forgot what you were craving for in the first place!
But what if you have the power to eliminate that? Eliminate choice paralysis?
Messiah feels
That’s what you do when you become an affiliate marketer.
People don’t want a lot of choices. We don’t want to go through all the options and try to figure out what we’ll get among the hundred things laid in front of us. In fact, we want to be told by someone that we trust what product is the best for us.
That’s why we ask the waiter what their house special or bestseller is. He works there, we trust him to tell us what’s best!
To your audience, you’re the waiter. You’re an expert that they can trust, so why not help them? Point out the best dish. They’ll be happy. You’ll be happy. The restaurant will be happy. It’s a win-win-win!
Learn the ropes of becoming an affiliate marketer and join us and our partner, Pat Flynn, in discovering how to How to Monetize the Brand You've Built (Without Being Salesy or Sleazy)!

“Do I need social media for my business?” is a 2010-ish question.
For years now, social media has proven its power to impact the buying process from learning about real-life drama in your target audience’s life to understanding what will make them say “YES, GIMME!” to your online products and programs.
It’s also an excellent way for you to continuously share value without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to make people know that you’re an expert in your field.
Right now, you probably have thousands of friends on Facebook or maybe you’re on your way to building your empire on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.
Aaaaaaaaaand maybe you have even unleashed your creativity on TikTok. #nojudgement
BUT did you ever sprinkle a little love over on LinkedIn?
It has been around since 2003. Just like most successful startups, it was born in the living room of one of its co-founders, Reid Hoffman and it was made specifically for businesses and professionals.
It’s like the clean-cut, workaholic older brother of other social media platforms!
Everyone on there is in BUSINESS MODE - no silly cat videos or pictures of the grandkids or last weekend’s mistakes. People are there solely for work. They are there to find industry news, jobs, vendors, partnerships, content, establish thought leadership, etc.
With that in mind, LinkedIn is one of the best places where you can sell your online business and get quality leads.
Let’s break it down:
Not to mention that LinkedIn has this kick butt algorithm that you can use to your advantage! LinkedIn’s algorithm prioritizes relevant content AND promotes engagement.
That means, even though someone isn't connected to you, IF they are more likely to engage in your content, LinkedIn will show it to them. You can put your business in front of people who are more likely to buy as long as you continuously post your nuggets of wisdom around the subject.
Wowza! Am I right?
So go ahead and pump up your LinkedIn game, starting of course, with your profile!
But I don’t exactly know how to do it right...do I just copy-paste my resume there?
Great question! There’s a lot of things that go on when it comes to profile optimization on LinkedIn. Remember that you are not applying for a job. You are establishing yourself as a thought leader, a business owner, and you should make people listen to you.
You can start with reverse engineering LinkedIn profiles of people that are leaders in your industry and other entrepreneurs like you. Trial and error, ugh!
OR you can join our upcoming workshop - HOW TO GENERATE NONSTOP LEADS WITH LINKEDIN (even if you haven’t logged in for 5 years!)
We will be walking through profile optimization and discussing what works and what doesn’t (you’ll get a FREE template that you can simply fill in *wink*.)
AND we’ll be giving out the secrets to prospecting without the shenanigans.
AND we’ll spill out the “messaging magic” that will turn one-on-one conversations into paying clients!
Want to learn more about this workshop or are your just itching to register?
We’ll be shooting you an email tomorrow with all the spicy deets! Watch out.
Let’s get linking!

PS: LinkedIn is where hungry-for-growth professionals and businesses hangout making it one of the best platforms for you to sell your online courses and get quality leads. We’ve prepped a workshop for you so that you can generate nonstop leads with LinkedIn that includes profile optimization, prospecting, and turning conversations to profit. Deets will be sent to you tomorrow!
It was in the 1800s when the Bone Wars happened.
Two wealthy scientists, Othniel Marsh and Edward Cope raced to excavate fossils in the Rocky Mountain region. It wasn’t a friendly feud. Scholastic mentions that they were armed against each other. (Yes, we do our homework!)
The teams they led dug like crazy in different sites and they uncovered a whooping 136 NEW species of dinosaurs!
The fossils were displayed and it started a worldwide fanbase of dinosaurs.
And when it comes to your podcast, we want you to be like Marsh and Cope, too!
You don’t have to be at war or in a heated competition with anyone but we want you to keep going, keep digging deeper and we guarantee, you’ll start seeing results and enjoying more conversions from your podcast.
Okay…
We know that sounds like too much physical, mental, and emotional workload before you start to see something happen.
But it’s really not.
Just stop with the doubting and start! Our Rise Inner Circle training on HOW TO START A PODCAST with I Know Dino’s Sabrina Ricci will be the perfect place to begin!
You’ll be equipped with a 7-step strategy that will make you even more comfortable and confident in investing time and resources in making a podcast happen.
And if you want to dig even deeper into podcasting and become a podcasting guru, Sabrina and her husband, Garrett, prepared a longer course that you can enroll in after the RIC training!

They can record the lessons and share it with their students. And if ever they need to have one-on-ones, it would just be a once-a-week thing. It won’t be draining or exhausting.
That’s very similar when hosting a virtual summit.
You don’t have to painstakingly talk to 10 experts in a day. You can schedule an interview, record it, and launch it once you've interviewed all your experts.
You can even do post-production edits if you think that something you said shouldn’t be in the conversation.
Now that that’s solved, the other thing that you could be fussing about is actually reaching out to your expert.
Take baby steps.
Preparing for your virtual summit is a process. You don’t rush into things. Test the waters with some kind of engagement.
Connect with them on social media. Try to comment on their posts. When you’re starting to get comfortable, introduce yourself to get the conversation going - then invite them!
It won’t happen instantly but once you get into that momentum, you’ll be able to get over your shyness and have an expert ready for your summit!

The Rise To The Top web show and podcast is back. And there is no waiting. The first episode is up for you right now.
Here is a message directly from DSG:
“The web show and podcast is back! So, I’ve decided to go to the OG (the original format) that goes allllll the way back to 2009 and that is uncut, uncensored VIDEO interviews.
There isn’t a day that goes by without someone asking for the return of the show…and I’m excited that the day is TODAY. Right now.
I plan on interviewing a bunch of my successful students who are kicking butt and taking names with online courses, chatting some business leaders and also interesting entrepreneurs. Prepare for an interesting variety :)
There is no set schedule right now but it will evolve over time. Enjoy and exceed to bring this to you!"

The good news? The first episode of the new web show is ready to roll: "How Katherine Beck turned “Teaching the American Accent” into a successful online course

I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.
That’s the default message when you want to network with someone on LinkedIn. It tells the receiver what your intent is. And it does the job.
Eehhhh.
Does it really get the job done?
Well, hello news, IT DOESN’T and it’s not even a networker’s trade secret. Since the early 2010’s a lot has been written about personalizing the CONNECT message.
It gets ignored. And if you have been sending a lot of these messages to people you don’t know, they can report you. You’ll end up in LinkedIn jail --restricsheeeeeens!
So when the “You can customize this invitation” pops up on LinkedIn, make sure you add a note!
Introduce yourself, use similar interests, and tell them why you wanna connect. Believe us, that will get you more “accepts” than the bland default connection request.
And don’t make more LinkedIn networking mistakes! Join us in the Rise Inner Circle training, HOW TO WIN BUSINESS ON LINKEDIN this December 17th!
Registrations closing soon but you can have LIFETIME access to this training and many more when you become a Rise Inner Circle member.

And it means exactly what it sounds like.
You get a new idea, you get distracted and run after that instead of pushing to accomplish that thing that you SHOULD be working on.
And when that distraction loses its shine, the next shiny object appears....
What happens then?
You don’t finish anything.
You don’t become an expert in anything.
You won’t ever become successful at anything.
You’re always at level 1 and you have a garage full of unfinished projects.
It happens to a lot of entrepreneurs and sadly there are those who never move beyond it.
We don’t want that to happen to you especially when you’re going through CAOC. Thus, the CAOC ACCELERATOR PROGRAM!
This program is designed to keep you focused on what you NEED to do, so you stay grounded on your why. We hold you accountable so that you’re always moving to the next stage. The result is MASSIVE momentum towards your course goals.
You will get access to an exclusive accelerator slack workspace, weekly calls with an expert course coach, monthly calls with DSG himself AND the entire CAOC training system.
SPACES ARE FILLING UP FAST - APPLY FOR CAOC ACCELERATOR PROGRAM TODAY!
Don't miss your chance to stop chasing shiny objects!

Whenever you want to add a page, a paragraph, or even just a sentence on your lead magnet, or worse yet, on your website, you have to call your designer...
"WAIT, Stop, I've heard this before. You call the designer and then fork over too much $$ for a simple change."
Oh, so you've been there? Us too.
So we sat down, put our heads together and came up with this brilliant idea ??
60 days of Coursecats or Conversion Cats (or both) AND The Lead Magnet Generator!
The Lead Magnet Generator is a compilation of plug and play templates + videos that show you how to customise them, created by our very own designer Natalie.
It’s the quick-and-easy way to make checklists, cheatsheets, and guides, etc. hooooraaay!
Normally, this is special package only available to our students in Create Awesome Online Courses.
However, right now, it is available as a SPECIAL BONUS when you sign up for the 60-day trial for Course Cats and Conversion Cats.
Course Cats and Conversion Cats are WordPress themes made for the online entrepreneur and course creator, like you!
Although they look alike, there’s a slight difference in terms of features.
Course Cats is what DSG uses for his courses and he recommends this to house your courses as well and it’s great for building email lists. Check it out here → https://coursecats.com/
Conversion Cats is the theme that you use when you absolutely want to have an attention-magnet website that turns visitors into leads and lifelong subscribers. Check it out here → https://conversioncats.com/
Now, we normally offer a 30 day free trial for these platforms, but right now, we've doubled the trial length and are giving you 60 days absolutely free. We want to make sure you have time to get your site up, running and bringing in leads before you drop a single dime with us.
Have questions? Hit reply and send them our way! Our virtual cats support team is here to answer your questions, help you get started and even bail you out of any sticky situations you might find yourself in along the way.
Let’s go for the top!
- The Rise To The Top Team
P.S. Here are a few examples of sites made on the cats themes.
That’s the goal.
You don’t want to keep jamming whatever it is that you’re selling down your audience’s throats. You want to nurture them and get them to pay attention and love your brand. When that happens, closing the deal will come naturally.
It’s about trusting the buyer's journey from awareness to repeat purchases.
That is what happens when you have a podcast.
You’re not going to jump into the part where they’re ready to invest in your courses. You won’t just blab about your course and walk them through what they will learn as they go through your modules then ask them to enroll.
You get something that they are interested in then share knowledge and ideas from yourself and someone you are interviewing.
And the best part about this is that podcasts are rarely scripted. It’s a genuine conversation from people who have in-depth knowledge about something that they want to share with the world.
Throughout this process, they get to know you, they get an idea of what your brand is, and what your expertise really is. And if they click with you and you continuously provide answers to their problems, purchasing your course is the most logical thing to do, no questions asked, enrollments confirmed!
So, the question now is…
ARE YOU READY TO LEARN HOW TO START A PODCAST?

And this afternoon, that one thing that you have to do is to ENROLL IN THE 90-DAY ACCELERATOR PROGRAM.

Before anything, apologies!
We forgot.
But we'll make up for it.
?? CONGRATULATIONS!!! ??
We know it's long overdue but we would like to thank and acknowledge you for completing the mini-training series!
Not a lot would have the commitment to watch a training video for four days straight. And you did it!
And if you didn't notice, that small thing that you did is a huge boost to your business especially if you're applying what you learned and making changes no matter how small.
That was ACCELERATION.
Now the question is...are you gonna decelerate like a racecar in max speed that suddenly hit the breaks for no reason?
You've got a full tank, you're wheels are in their optimum psi, you're ready to win the race. There's absolutely no reason to slow down. And that will make you the BEST person to enroll in the 90-day CAOC Accelerator Program.
That's not the only reason.
When on acceleration mode, there's a tendency for people to be trigger happy. You have the energy, commitment, and fire to accomplish things. You go out there and try. That's not totally wrong. But sometimes, because you are going all out you won't notice that you're off track.
That's why as an awesome racecar driver online course creator, you have to have a pitstop team. They'll guide you, make sure your vehicle is working optimally, and that you are on the right track not just driving laps somewhere.
Where do you find that team?
Inside the CAOC Accelerator Program!
You'll have a coach, DSG and the Rise To The Top team, and other course creators who you can learn from and take the journey with.
Ready to win races with your pitstop team? Enroll in the CAOC Accelerator Program TODAY!
Let's push your online course biz to success!
- The Rise To The Top team
P.S. What's the CAOC Accelerator Program again?
It's a 90-day program where you:
The accelerator program is a group coaching program that provides you with guidance to you create and launch your online course successfully no matter what stage of course creation you are at when you join.
You get weekly calls with a professional course coach, monthly calls with DSG, access to the RISE team, and your course coach between calls in a private Slack Workspace.

How many hours do you spend staring at your ad creatives wondering whether or not they will convert?
A couple of hours?
Do you sleep on it?
Maybe you show it to friends and family and wait for them to respond in a couple of weeks?
Here’s the sad truth, YOU’LL NEVER KNOW THAT WAY. You’ll never find out whether they convert if they stay unpublished. The only way is to get your ad out there.
But your launch doesn’t have to be risky. You don’t need to shoot blindly then cross your fingers and hope something will happen.
Instead, go for a detailed audience, set a testing budget then monitor and analyze the results. If you’re getting leads at a very low cost or you’re happy with your results, start adding budget to scale.
Before you know it, you’re getting booked, people are enrolling in your courses, and you're reaching your income goals. You can finally ditch your 8-5 and work on your online course biz full-time! Heaven!
How does this all start? A detailed audience.
With detailed audience targeting, you can refine the group Facebook will show your ads to. You can narrow a big group down through:
This is where your ideal customer comes in the picture especially when you’re just starting. Key in your customer persona when building your audience on Facebook Audience Insights and publish your ads to this group!
After, analyze your results, refine, and scale.

Where are they?
I put up all the signs so they won’t get lost and see my channel and watch my videos
Maybe there’s a digital traffic jam somewhere that’s stopping them from watching my YouTube videos?
Are they even coming?
It sucks right?
When you’ve done everything you can possibly do to bring traffic to your videos. Then you wait, wait, and wait, and NOTHING HAPPENS.
It’s discouraging.
So enough.
Put an end to it.
It’s just a waste of your time and effort anyway.
Instead, why not do something that really works and brings results?
Don’t put up the signs where you think your traffic will come from. Track down exactly where your traffic sources with Justin Geis’s traffic strategy. He’ll teach you how to do it and where to put up your signs so that you get noticed and…
CHANNEL GROWTH! Exactly what you need.

We can’t believe what day it is today.
It’s like just yesterday when we had our 4-part mini-training series. Then we opened enrollments to the CAOC Accelerator Program and today we’re announcing that it’s closing. For reals.
Ehem.
(read in a formal tone)
The CAOC Accelerator Program closes TONIGHT! No extensions.
That means you’re gonna have to wait a looooooooooooooooooooong time before you can sprint to achieving a successful online course biz.
Remember the facts:
If you really want these facts to be your reality, ENROLL IN THE CAOC ACCELERATOR PROGRAM NOW!
It closes TONIGHT!
Dun.dun.dunnn.
Run, Joseph, run!
What do your instincts tell you when you randomly receive a message from an unknown person or a brand?
Accept and reply?
Auto delete?
Mark as spam?
BLOCK?
Ignooooore?
How about filtering your messages so the unknowns and unwanteds automatically end up in spam?
Above is one option that could possibly get you a lead (if you play your cards right) and several others that will throw your efforts into the bin.
You don’t need to be Indiana Jones to figure out that one wrong step right here can turn what could be a treasure chest into a pile of rubble.
So the big Q is: When is it okay to DM?
Just like IRL, you don’t interrupt someone walking on the streets and tell them that you are an entrepreneur, you do this and that, and they should have a conversation with you because you think that it would be great to get to know each other more.
Or worse, tell them that you can solve their problems. WHUUUTTT???
That doesn’t work in this day and time, no more!
So for starters, here’s a quick tip: Let them notice you first, subtly.
Follow them.
Start listening to what they say.
Engage in the comments and start the conversation “in public”.
Then find the opportunity to SEND THAT MESSAGE!
The DMs are a sacred place. It’s where important and personal conversations happen. Don’t crash the party with a “heeeyy, I’m this person, I’ll make your life better!”
Think manners. Mind your boundaries.

True, you don’t always see cat and dog photos on LinkedIn. Or smth that I baked last night kind of stuff. Heck as soon as you open LinkedIn, one of the first things you see is the “write an article” button.
But it’s not all suit and tie, conference hall meeting, charts & graphs, “circle back to you” stuff.
Remember, LinkedIn is a social media platform. And the #1 entrepreneur rule on social media is to be genuine.
So if you’re the silly kind of course creator, go ahead and post content that is true to yourself and your brand.
Be silly and have fun. But see to it that you continue to give value. You can talk about something new in your industry (industry facts!), challenge an existing idea, or provide infotainment!
If you’re worried about not fitting in or being too Instagram-y, be neutral, and ask yourself:
Then start tweaking. Sometimes, you need a complete overhaul; other times it’s good to go! But it’s part of the process of content creation and building authority on LinkedIn.
If you want to dig deeper into creating and publishing content that drives engagement and authority on LinkedIn, Join HOW TO WIN BUSINESS ON LINKEDIN Rise Inner Circle training TODAY!
It’s about creating content, networking, and social selling so you can get more leads and more sign-ups in your courses.

Effectively conveying a brand message every single time is a task that will stick with you forever in your online course biz. As an educator, you have to have an understandable, foolproof brand message so that whoever will come across you in your online or offline communication channels won’t feel like you’re playing mind games with them. Write this in stone: when your target audience is confused, they wouldn’t want to do anything with you. nu-uh!
For you to be able to write a brand message that is consistent and true to you, you first need to be familiar with your brand identity.
This involves:
If you don’t have a written document of this yet, go ahead and prepare one. This is an essential document especially when you are working with a team. It will serve as their guidelines in making sure that everything published and launched with your name on it is consistent with your brand and resonates with your target audience.
When coming up with this document, don’t forget to include:
This way, even though a lot of people are working on different creatives that you need for your brand, everything still ties up.
The next thing you do is to plan your message for consistency. Don’t praise one thing today and preach the opposite tomorrow. That makes you look like you don’t know what you’re talking about (expert, who?).
Start with ONE BIG IDEA. This is the overarching idea of your message in one phrase. It should answer the question, what is that one thing I want to communicate with this blog (or social media post, or email, or webinar)?
Then start making spider legs! Write subtopics around this big idea and then package it in a way that your audience will find interesting. And to create an unforgettable experience, don’t forget to bedazzle it with your personality to make your brand shine!

Because it works.
Never mind preparing binders of contingency plans that go all the way to plan Z just in case it will fail. You don’t need to anymore.
John Nemo’s 3P’s secrets that will be revealed during our workshop, HOW TO GENERATE NONSTOP LEADS WITH LINKEDIN (even if you haven’t logged in for 5 years!), will get you the results that you have been dying to get from previous lead gen attempts.
But don’t take our word for it!
Hear it from those who took the chance and reaped the rewards.
“I wanted to “get results” using LinkedIn, as I was struggling with it for a while. I just never thought of it as a real source of leads only as a place where you more or less store contacts.
John’s course LinkedIn Riches, changed all that. After going through the program I realized that the way I was approaching LinkedIn needed to be changed. I found myself getting many more people to my blog 50pluswebmarketing.com after following John’s instructions. Just from people viewing my profile, which in itself had increased dramatically after the course.
His tips were spot on, in fact, I’ve recommended his training to many of my clients.”
“John is a marketing wizard and his magic is his LinkedIn strategy. He knows LinkedIn better than LinkedIn knows LinkedIn. Even more important than that he knows what works and why his insight and experience and his recommendations are like hitting the LinkedIn lotto.
I could go on and on but that is not going to help you so my recommendation is if you use Linkedin to find customers looking for a job or just connect with like-minded people, John is your coach. Take the time and consume John's content listen to his webinars pay attention to him he is the real deal.”
“Guru' doesn't begin to describe John Nemo when it comes to transforming LinkedIn profiles. John went above and beyond what he promised when working with me on my specific needs for a dynamic profile. I was impressed with not only his extensive knowledge of the powers of LinkedIn but also with his attention to detail when aligning with my personal goals. I can count on John to help when I need to find clients who need my services and to extend my reach. Anyone looking to stand out in a crowd and discover the untapped power their LinkedIn accounts need to work with John Nemo.”
Now close your eyes and imagine yourself enjoying these results after plugging in the golden nuggets that you will get from this workshop.
Are your lead gen dreams coming true?
Yes?
Go ahead and grab it for yourself!

Poof!
They’ll forget you.
Like something that didn’t exist at all…
Consistently providing value is a long term audience retention plan. The easiest way of doing that is by creating helpful, entertaining, and engaging FREE content.
Now because it’s free doesn’t mean that there’s no ROI. This kind of content will help stamp you permanently into their minds. Whenever they think they need to learn about your expertise they’ll be running to you.
Now when creating your content keep it simple and actionable especially because you’re teaching. You want them to be able to do something after watching your videos or reading your blog or taking your quiz.
You don’t want to complicate things and make them more confused than when they first watched your video. If this happens, you have not been an effective teacher, at all.
So as a course creator, what do you think is the best way to provide value?
A blog?
A series of videos?
Quizzes?
Ebooks?
If you’re not yet sure, we invite you to join THE ANATOMY OF A SUCCESSFUL EDUCATIONAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL workshop where you will learn how to build a successful educational YouTube video!
This is all YouTube. How about other ways to provide value?
When you register for the workshop, you will be given 2 choices.
Plus all other workshops for Inner Circle members!
We will strive to cover all avenues to provide value so that you will be able to find the best ones that work for your audience!

Location, location, LOCATION!
This cliche has been used over and over and over by property experts since Lord Harold Samuel quoted it way before we existed. It’s been called the three most important factors in determining the desirability and pricing of a property.
Weird enough, it’s the same in the online course industry. And N-O we’re not going to ask you to pack up your entire life and move across the country or the world where you have the most audience.
We’re talking about the space that you occupy in the mind of your target market. Where you stand among competitors, how you position yourself as an online course creator, and how you position your courses are the determining factors when it comes to desirability and pricing!
You have to be able to position yourself and your courses as the most desirable option for your target audience. And in doing that, you’ll be able to stamp premium prices on your products AKA courses, and other services like coaching.
So how can you do that exactly?
Step 1: MATCH YOUR AUDIENCE
We know, this sounds soooo repetitive. Who’s your audience, what do they like, what turns them off, etc. etc. etc. But, despite how basic this is, a lot of course creators still go out and create a course without having this on file. Remember, you’re creating courses to transport people from a state of not knowing anything about something to being close to an expert. If your positioning does not match their needs and desires -- crickets!
Step 2: MAP OUT THE PLAYING FIELD
This is where you look into other people who have the same or similar courses as you. The key is to look into what they are calling themselves, their personality, and what values they associate themselves with. Let’s check out how these thought leaders position themselves:
Step 3: NOW SOMETHING ABOUT Y-O-U!
Claiming your market positioning isn’t only about what your target market finds appealing and how different you need to be from your competitors. You should be comfortable with your positioning and it should speak to you authentically. Keep in mind, your target market can detect BS. You wouldn’t want to be associated with any kind of shenanigans and not being authentic drama if you want to continue building your online course biz successfully, for the long term.
The things that are important when it comes to injecting “you” into your positioning is:
All brands and businesses fall into 12 archetypes or personalities -- the creator, hero, outlaw, lover, everyman, sage, explorer, innocent, ruler, jester, caregiver, and the magician. An easy way to find your brand archetype is to take online quizzes like this one: http://brandpersonalityquiz.com/
Take the quiz and find your brand archetype/personality!
Step 4: PUTTING IT TOGETHER
Never forget that you want to be identifiable and claim space in your target audiences’ minds. You should be different from your competitors while making your true, genuine self shine, and resonate with your audience.
Your positioning can be summarized in a short positioning statement. Try and fill this out:
For [target audience] that [needs, desires, cares about], I am a [self-title] that brings [brand archetype/values] and offers [products/services] so that you can [benefit].
It’s easy to understand, it strays away from the supersaturated “I help” statements, and it marks your location, location, LOCATION.
P.S. Keep an eye out for our next Rise Inner Circle Training to be announced soon!!
Whew!
The first 2 parts of this training series were full of actionable insights. And yes, we deliberately designed them to provide value without pouring everything in one go. Info overload can be a stressor has no place in the life of an online course creator! Jeez.
So for a quick recap, on the first day, we learned about The Three Stages of an Online Course (and online course business) where you were able to identify what stage you are at.
The second day was packed with tips and strategies for you to maximize Stage #1: (Where to Focus and What To Avoid).
Now for the third day, we're adding that sprinkle of pumpkin spice to our perfectly brewed latte with Video 3: Maximizing Stage 2 (Where To Avoid And What To Avoid) 
You will be experiencing pitfalls along your journey. There will be shiny red objects floating around that will draw you away from your goal. How to overcome them?
Let's discover it RIGHT HERE!

P.S. Missed the first two parts of the mini-training series? Worry not, coconut!
Video 1: The Three Stages of an Online Course (and online course business)
Video 2: maximize Stage #1: (Where to Focus and What To Avoid)
How many times have you wished someone would have just told you “that’s not working. STOP!” before you wasted your time working the wrong things?
Once?
A couple of times?
Dozens?
It’s fine, it happens to everyone.
Sometimes, when we’re hyperfocused, we fail to see our focus is in the wrong place. By the time we realize our mistake, we’ve already spent time and resources that we can’t get back.
That’s why we need a second pair of eyes.
But don’t go running to your neighbor just yet…
When you’re asking for advice, or you want a fresh pair of EXPERT eyes to take a look at what you’re doing and how you’re doing it.
Aunt Sally is great, but she's never launched a course before.
That’s why when we created the CAOC ACCELERATOR. To give you the opportunity to get the RIGHT advice from the RIGHT person.
When we were looking for coaches, we set the bar high. We made sure that they will be worth your trust and your investment.
Meet Coach Merilyn.
When it comes to experience and the ability to walk the walk AND talk the talk, you will be learning from the VERY best and that is Coach Marilyn Beretta.
As an Accelerator coach on DSG’s team, Coach Merilyn brings over 25 years experience including 25 years experience with start-up businesses and organizations going through rapid growth phases, in 7 countries and 21 niches. She's been writing and delivering leadership and management development programs, change management and teaching on personal effectiveness and personality for over two decades. In her life outside CAOC, she's served as a coach to a variety of people - from CEO's in multi-million dollar organizations, to creatives, experts and mom's looking for their calling. She's also launched her own successful online course using the Create Awesome Online Courses Program and LOVES sharing her vast knowledge with her students.
Long story short. She is a rockstar. And can break things down extremely simply and completely step-by-step. Plus she has a cool accent.
So, are you ready to let Merilyn help you go to the next level? YAY!
There’s just one small thing we need from you…

After that, you will book a quick call to answer any questions and make sure the program is the right fit for YOU. Then you enroll, and brace yourself for success once the program kicks off!
Let’s make it work for your business! Don’t delay - we have limited spots in the program and we want to be sure YOU get a seat!

PS - Here is the link to the quick video and application….one more time. Spots are limited now is the time to start the party.
I hate it. Hate it. HATE IT!
My voice is too high-pitched I sometimes sound like a wild animal on labor. Yes, that bad.
My awkwardness pisses people off and I can’t help it no matter how I try.
I tend to talk to myself a lot. Sometimes I channel it on video and it’s embarrassing.
Ever had thoughts of how flawed you are that stopped you from creating teaching videos for YouTube because you’re just too you?
And it makes you soooo afraid because you think when people see these they’re going to run off and not want to hear more from you and learn from you?
You know what?
OWN IT!
We’re not saying this just to boost your confidence and encourage you to start creating videos and posting them on that empty YouTube channel that you created years ago.
If you remember, a few days ago we said in an email why you shouldn’t be a copycat. That’s just one reason why you should show how unique you are. You have to show up with a personality, get into a groove, and shine!
Another is that people are looking for genuine people to learn from. People are aware of FURUs (Fake Gurus). They have existed since long before the internet existed and right now, the digital space is just one of their many platforms. People don’t want to be scammed so you should be able to show them that you come from a genuine place and your goal is to help them reach their goals.
And thirdly, vulnerability, and being who you are is an emotional trigger that can help you grow your channel and sell your courses. If you can show them and tell them your story, how you were once like them, you become relatable. They will start watching and waiting for more from you.
You’re not annoying.
You’re not too flawed.
You’re just you and that’s enough personality to build your tribe and grow your educational YouTube channel!
Want to learn more about how you can use your personality to be a successful educational YouTuber?
Join our new workshop THE ANATOMY OF A SUCCESSFUL EDUCATIONAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL!
You’ll learn and discover the right decisions to make when setting up your channel, creating videos, and drawing in traffic.

This Gwyneth Paltrow approved (yep, that Gwyneth Paltrow) productivity tip can easily get the gold for the best productivity tip in our current Jumanji reality.
It’s nothing new and before you throw this email to the trash thinking it’s just another outrageous Gwyneth hack, this was actually proven by several pieces of research.
If you haven’t guessed it yet, it’s taking ice-cold showers. Although it would take months before you notice a difference in your productivity, it immediately helps you manage your anxiety and depression and activates your alertness. It turns on your sympathetic nervous system -- the nervous system that controls your involuntary response to stressful and even dangerous situations. Imagine a surge of endorphins rushing throughout your body. Swoosh!
A lot of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs like PhenoMx’s Zachary Rapp and American Giant’s Bayard Winthrop swear by this productivity factory. However, not all of us are vibing with the idea of skinny dipping, shower edition, first thing in the morning.
So we scoured the internet for productivity tips and voted for our TOP 3!
THE TO DON’T LIST
Let’s be honest, nothing is as satisfying as crossing stuff from our to-do lists. Sometimes, we even write the things that we already completed and cross it out just to feel like we got a lot done.
Even though there are times when we feel bad when our to-dos get carried over to the next day and the next and the next, it still makes us efficient and on track. So why introduce the idea of a to-don’t list?
A to-don’t list allows you to figure out what you think is holding you back and eating your time. It allows you to intentionally identify the things that are stopping you or holding you back from slashing everything off from your to-do list.
EAT THE FROG!
In the words of Mark Twain, “If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.”
That one most dreaded thing in your to-do list, do that first and the rest will be a smooth ride. It’s that simple and it’s that effective!
And our favorite...
STARE AT CUTE ANIMAL PICTURES!
Yes, fo’ reals! Research-backed 100%!
In 2012, a group of researchers from Japan published: The Power of Kawaii: Viewing Cute Images Promotes a Careful Behavior and Narrows Attentional Focus. Three experiments were conducted and fast-forward to the results -- those who spent more time looking at cute cat and dog photos performed better and became more productive than those who didn’t!
That’s a by golly wow moment right there.
Who knew that cute dog and cat photos can help you achieve more? Why? Not only does cuteness trigger positive emotion, but it also prompts your brain to have laser-focused concentration. So next time you feel stressed and burnt-out, you know what to Google! But take note, when you try this out, look at cute cat, dog, and baby photos. Food photos are a no-no.
Which productivity tip will you try?
P.S. Did we mention we opened Rise Inner Circle already, you can get in there and start binging all the previous trainings we've done before this months training! Join us this October for No More Guessing: 7 Steps to Creating, Repurposing, and Leveraging Free Content To Grow Your Business (Without "Giving Away Too Much For Free" or Creating A Gigantic Stress Bomb) with Kim Doyal and Jodi Hersch on October 22nd @ 3pm CST (4pm EST / 1pm PST)!
You might be thinking, “I don’t know how to put on makeup, do I have to start learning it now?”
“I’m a guy this doll up thingy is all alien to me.”
“What kind of makeup should I do?”
You know what.
IT’S UP TO YOU.
Really.
YOU get to decide.
If you’re more comfortable with makeup on and dressing up then, by all means, put your blush on!
If you’re the type who prefers au naturale then don’t force yourself to put on makeup.
This type of thing falls under your personal brand.
The more important thing here is you show up with confidence. Your confidence should reflect in the way you project in front of the camera and your tone. You have to make your viewers know that you know what you are talking about.
Practice in front of the camera until you’re comfortable enough for the “real thing.” Move your hands around to emphasize a point but don’t exaggerate or else you’ll become too distracting.
However, if you really want a black and white answer, we suggest at least putting on some powder. That goes for both men and women.
Powder reduces the shine on your face. So that even if you get nervous and sweat a little, you won’t look like a swampy mess in the middle of your video.
Cool?
Then let’s get to work on the good stuff! Create your successful educational YouTube channel with the brand-spanking-new workshop, THE ANATOMY OF A SUCCESSFUL EDUCATIONAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL!
Save your seat right here it’s closing soon!!!

Happy Tuesday!
Back with another exclusive interview this week and today I’m joined by fitness rockstar (and Create Awesome Online Courses student) Chris Freytag.In today’s conversation, we break down her online empire and how she has evolved with the times over the years.
We talk about her online course, her subscription site, marketing, tech and much more. I absolutely LOVED my chat with Chris and I’m going bet you will too.
She is not only a completely open book, but has a great entrepreneurial mindset and an incredible attitude (I swear after the interview I ran down to my gym and started frantically lifting weights).
You can check out the video on The Rise To The Top, YouTube, or Facebook, or listen on iTunes, Stitcher or GooglePlay.

The world is a strange place these day, huh?
On the one hand, the world news comes fast and furious. Things are changing rapidly and just when you digest one piece of information, another one smacks you.
And on the other hand, our personal lives seem to have slowed to a snails pace. We're home, alot. There are no sports, no plays, no concerts, nothing to comsume our time outside of the job we are doing from home.
For online business owners, this creates an opprtunity to gain attention.
But even now, in the online world, catching attention is not the easiest thing to do.
No matter how awesome your products are, if you aren’t noticed by your target audience, all the hours you spent to write your scripts, or stand in front of the camera go down the drain. *cue toilet flushing sound*
Enter Lead Magnets.
FREEBIES make people look twice. This is not a trade secret whispered only amongst the marketers we put on a pedestal.
The free checklists, templates, printables, planners, worksheets, and other downloads are low commitment entry points that turn strangers into clients.
However, creating your lead magnet is not a piece of cake.
You have to think strategically.
You should be able to give valuable information without spilling all the beans. Once you have that down, you have to think about how you are going to lay it out so that it’s easy on the eyes, reflects your branding, and worth clicking.
While you can create the written content using knowledge you possess, designing it can be a huge dilemma.
Not everyone has an eye for design, if you do, execution is another thing.
But did you know that you can create AWESOME lead magnets even with ZERO design experience?
THE LEAD MAGNET GENERATOR
If you want to create beautiful lead magnets that look like they were made by an expert, this is the done-for-you solution that you need.
You don’t have to start with a blank canvas and stress yourself figuring out what goes where and what fonts and colors to use. The Lead Magnet Generator offers plug and play templates made by DSG’s amazing graphic designer, Natalie. It includes videos to show you how to quickly customize them.
Right now, it comes as a SPECIAL BONUS when you sign up for a 60-day FREE TRIAL of either Course Cats or Conversion Cats. (Pssst - This special bonus expires tomorrow night - be sure to grab it before it's gone.)
What exactly is Course Cats and Conversion Cats?
Both of these are Wordpress themes.
COURSE CATS is specifically designed to house your online course. Aside from having a website that will effectively sell your courses and grow your email lists, you will also get full support from the Cats support team when the situation gets sticky.
Find out more here → https://coursecats.com/
CONVERSION CATS on the other hand is created for your online business (not just your course site). If you need a landing page you’ll be able to create one using this efficiently. It is optimized for lead generation and it also has a similar look and feel to Course Cats.
Find out more here → https://conversioncats.com/
Do I need BOTH?
Nope! They are different themes that work together but you don't need them both unless you want them both. ?? You’ll get your special bonus AKA Lead Magnet Generator either way.
Ready to create lead magnets that attract attention and turn strangers to clients?

A message from The Rise To The Top Founder/CEO: David Siteman Garland
First of all, regardless of where you are in the world, I hope you and your loved ones are safe. It’s no doubt that it is a scary time right now.
Second of all, I wanted to share with you a very important quick read that we put together for you:
"How To Teach Online (Classes, Workshops, Courses & More) During The Current Crisis”
The guide 100% free. Nothing required (not even an email).
We have helped people make a living from their knowledge online for 11 years on every topic imaginable from baby sleep training to clarinet lessons for adults and wanted to put together something to help you in these tough times.
You can download the guide at the link above or right here.
And if you know anyone that could benefit from this guide, feel free to share it. We are facing (besides a virus) a new economy, but one thing I can assure you is there is an amazing opportunity online right now to share your knowledge, expertise and passions.
Cheers and enjoy the guide,
- DSG
PS: Last week we asked on Facebook in a variety of our groups online…RISE Nation, Create Awesome Online Courses customers only, Rise Inner Circle and more if they would be interested in this guide and the response was overwhelming. Check out some of these screenshots:
As you may have heard, due to the impact of COVID-19 we've recently lengthened our free trial for both Coursecats and Conversion Cats to 60 days AND thrown in a really awesome bonus (The Lead Magnet Generator).
Our hope is that this helps you move the needle during this time of chaos and uncertainty. We want to help you reach your goals - whether that is pivoting your business online to adjust to the current climate, or mving your side hustle to a full time pursuit while you are waiting for the rest world to reopen.
Since sharing this special offer, we have been receiving tons of questions.
To make it easier for you, here are answers to the most common questions we got.
What happens after my 60-day trial?
When you sign up for your free trial, you can choose from either a monthly plan ($59/month) or a yearly plan ($497/year). Don't worry, you won't be billed up front. This is the plan you want to continue on AFTER the trial is over. If you choose to cancel before your 60 days are over, no worries, just email our team so we can cancel your account (no questions asked) and prevent any billings from taking place.
If you choose to continue with the theme after 60 days, you will need to...... do nothing. That's right. Not a thing. Your account will automatically bill on whatever plan you choose at registration and you continue along your way. Your free trail and paid plan BOTH includes theme updates and the awesome Cats support team who are available to help you should you run into any sticky situations with your course site.
Do you offer hosting?
Yes! We offer hosting for as little as $7.95 per month (or $84.95 per year). You can contact support@coursecats.com for more info on hosting.
Do I have to sign a long contract or anything?
Ab-so-lutely NOT. With the monthly option, you pay month-to-month. Same goes for the yearly – pay per year. No long term contracts.
I love guarantees more than I love cute puppies. Do you have one?
Yes! We know you will love Coursecats and Conversion Cats, but just to be sure we're giving you 60 days FREE to try everything. That's right, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. You get access to the theme, the guide AND the awesome Cats Support team. Check it out, and if you don't abso-freakin-lutely fall head over heals in love, you can cancel and never pay a dime. The 60 day trial twice as long as the normal trial period and designed to make sure you LOVE the service before you commit fully.
What other tech will I need to go with Coursecats or Conversion Cats?
Great question friend! Here is what you will need (and don’t worry we go over all of this inside of the Cats guide and tutorials):
How many courses can have on my Coursecats site?
Ah good question! If you want all of your courses on the same domain, then you can have as many as you can create using a single Course Cats license! Meaning you get unlimited courses on one domain (sha-zam!).
By popular request, some people wanted to use their Coursecats license on more than one domain. If that’s what you’re looking for, we do offer a discounted rate for multiple licenses, just contact us at support@coursecats.com to inquire more and get pricing!
How Many lead magnets and landing pages can I have on Conversion Cats? Do I get landing pages with Coursecats too?
As many as you want. On either theme. You can create landing pages and opt-ins to your hearts content with either theme. Boom.
Who owns my content?
You do! You own all your stuff. Your videos, your PDFs, all your content… and your little dog too.
I have a question, who should I contact?
We have an epic support team ready for you! Send us an email at support@coursecats.com and we’ll get back to you shortly!
Hope these answer your questions!
If you have more! Hit replay and we will do our best to get every single question answered. :)

90 days is a magical period of time.
That’s why you hear about “90 fitness transformations” all over the place.
And business transformations :)
And…well all types of transformations.
Why 90 days?
It’s what I like to call a mix of a marathon/sprint.
It’s not too long (OMG…6 months! 1 year!)
It’s not too short (What can I get done that is really, really meaningful in 30 days?)
Sort of like the 3 Little Bears…90 days is just right.
MEANINGFUL change.
MEANINGFUL progress.
MEANINGFUL lasting momentum.

Once upon a time, novelist Doris Lessing said, “Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.”
That statement drove us crazy for a good while.
Because we realized...
Unfortunate and unforeseeable as it is, pandemic or none, the conditions ARE always impossible. The perfect scenario we have conjoured up in our head will never happen. We cait wait for things to fall perfectly into place before we do that thing that we have to do.
Bummer.
All along it was a self thing - either you can’t or you won’t.
The diff?
According to Fiona Wallace on Quora, can’t implies that you do not have the ability to do something.
Won’t implies that you are choosing not to do something, whether or not you have the ability.
Therefore, the first relates to your skill, capacity or talent; the second is the expression of a personal choice or decision.
For a lot of entrepreneurs, it’s more of a can’t mindset. Most of the time, we think that we’re not good enough yet, we haven’t reached a level of expertise yet, we’re not worthy to teach anyone anything.
Truth is, we just need to start.
So where do we start in the middle of this pandemic?
We have a recommendation. Start here, with out free training that shows you HOW TO SUCCEED AT TEACHING ONLINE DURING THE CURRENT CRISIS AND BEYOND
During the webinar, our founder DSG will help you shift your mindset from I CAN’T to I’M READY TO SUCCEED as you discover that it CAN BE DONE through case studies and an amazing surprise that will help you START RIGHT NOW.
Are you a can’t or won’t?
You CAN do this.

When Michelle Anderson posted this in our private Create Awesome Online Courses FB Group...
…I knew I had to interview her.
Michelle is a long-time student of CAOC and a complete rockstar (or is it Clarinet star?) who has turned teaching clarinet to adults into a massively successful online business.
In my in-depth chat with her we cover EVERYTHING from how she got her start, built her email list and audience, created her courses and programs and oh-so-much-more.
Here are the links to watch and listen. Enjoy!

The ribbon is cut.
Locks are out.
THE DOORS ARE OPEN!
As promised, this is the day we welcome you to this FREE 3-part mini-training series!
We're calling it.
Where to focus your time, energy and money to create a successful online course (REGARDLESS if you are just getting started, a seasoned pro or somewhere in-between) mini-training series
We know, it is quite a mouthful but it gets the message across.
Anyway, for the first part, we will be talking about the three stages of an online course (and online course business). This is important before you do anything because you need to know where you are currently to make better and more strategic decisions for your biz.
So bring out the notepads and put your learning hats! Without further ado, here's the first training video!
Step right in!
-The Rise To The Top Team
We’ve heard about them.
You might have even joined one or two in the last couple of months.
The value-packed events where you get access to a strategy or idea dump from the best of the best in their respective fields.
Yes, you guessed it right -- VIRTUAL SUMMITS!
One of the things about these that makes them extra exciting is that they’re usually FREE or registrations would be very affordable.
Sometimes, it makes us wonder what the organizers will get from it? Is there even ROI?
What we don’t see and know is that virtual summits are one of the BEST lead generation strategies!
Think about it…
Now do the math.
See it now? Amazeballs!
So what if you can do that, too?
You get new, warm leads that you can market to AND you can even sell a recorded copy of the event after!
That’s ?? CASHFLOW ??
Ka-ching!
So...question now is, DO YOU WANT TO HOST A VIRTUAL SUMMIT, TOO?
If that’s a yes, we prepared a NEVER BEFORE LAUNCHED TRAINING to help you do it!
Watch out for our next email for the deets!
Virtual summits, here we come!
-The Rise To The Top team
P.S. Spoiler Alert! We designed this training to equip you with everything you need to host a virtual summit even if you just started and you have a tiny niche!
Did you feel this?
And then do this?
Nothing prepared us for this mess. Even the Mayans can’t say “we told you so!”
There were no drills.
No maps to an underground haven that our ancestors intelligently designed in case this happens.
No rocket to fly us out of here.
We were suddenly told to stay home, stay away from people. We started to panic.
Businesses closed. We went on a mass panic-buying hysteria. And then there’s that thing with tissue paper.
We don’t know what to do and we’re left to figure out how we’re going to get through this.
So now what?
2 choices.
We’ll look into case studies, talk about the “Teach From Home” economy, and discover how you can use this new-found knowledge to not only survive but to thrive in our current situation and AFTER we get through this!
You don’t have to pay anything or prepare anything. We only want you to show up and learn with us. Plus, the wind kinda whispered that there could be a surprise for you waiting inside!
Going for option B?

We go this. :)

PS: We love reading success stories from our students like the one below.
That’s why when you craft your message, you read it...rewrite...read...rewrite...read...rewrite...it’s an unending loop where you NEVER hit send.
It’s always three things.
The day ends unproductively without you ever sending anything to your prospects.
So you convince yourself that it’s just a one day delay. You’ll reach out to your prospect tomorrow, next week, next month, or maybe you’ll push it to the end of the year when you have more reviews and success stories.
What happens when you do that?
They’ll be able to find another place to learn from. Boohoo.
The longer you delay, the smaller the possibility it is for you to convert them to paying clients. There is always a sense of urgency when it comes to introducing your courses to a market that doesn’t know who you are but are very likely to do business with you.
Now the Big Q: Then how do I approach my prospects so that I get my message across without sounding desperate?
Craft your message in such a way that it’s for one specific person, addressing their needs and solving their problems while making sure that it’s from a human coming from a place of empathy.
Creating your message will really take time especially when at the end of your conversation you want to turn them from strangers to paying clients. You have to be ready with how they’re going to respond and you need to reply promptly.
You have to have a plan before sending your first message.
We’re ready to help you out there!
In our HOW TO GENERATE NONSTOP LEADS WITH LINKEDIN (even if you haven’t logged in for 5 years!) our speaker, LinkedIn Lead Generation expert, and LinkedIn Riches author John Nemo will be giving a word-for-word, fill in the blank “Messaging Magic” scripts that will turn your one-on-one conversations to paying clients!
It’s a proven strategy he used to help hundreds of his clients get the results that they need.
Although LinkedIn has one of the most powerful direct messaging channels and it’s where a lot of your quality leads are, this “Messaging Magic” is NOT just for LinkedIn. You can use it for your emails and other direct messaging channels!
If you want to get your copy, tap here to learn more about the workshop and register!
Registration closes April 22nd @ 11:59 PM PAcific. Make sure your name is on our list so you can join!
Never get turned down and start getting clients from one-on-one conversations!

Starving your distractions and feeding your focus is more relevant now than ever.
Working from home is not an easy thing to do especially if it has never been an option for you before. It’s easy to stay in bed too long, binge watch, or build a fort with the kids and stay there until it’s time for lunch.
While those can be nice perks or working from home, on the other hand, you won’t ever succeed as an entrepreneur if you’re consistently all over the place. Without focus you can’t make informed decisions, solve problems before they even occur, or cross out tasks on your to-do list.
So how does one stay focused?
Here are a few tips that helped our team stay focused:
TIP #1 Keep your workspace organized. Yes. Both your desk and whatever project management software you’re using. Distractions come in many forms. Make sure the clutter on your desk or that task that you finished long ago won’t divert your attention from doing what you need to do. Look at your workspace and ask yourself Marie Kondo’s famous “spark joy” question. Remove or mark complete those that don’t bring that spark, ASAP.
TIP #2 Stay away from your phones and social media. If it’s not important there’s no need for you to be glued to your phones or scrolling your feed. On average, people spend 144 minutes on social media. That’s 144 minutes that you can use to build your business or finish your work-related tasks.
To help you out, Forest App is a great way for you, as they say, to stay away from your smartphone and stay focused on your work.
TIP #3 Plan ahead. Before you sleep, list out the most important or most difficult things that you need to accomplish the next day. Once you’re working, kill the most important or most difficult tasks first. All other tasks will come easier. Weekly desk calendars, bullet journals or online tools like Asana are a great way for you to get a good view of what you need to accomplish throughout the week.
When you plan, identify the things that you need to focus on the most so you can achieve your goal faster.
And if you want to have a successful online biz, there are 3 things that you have to focus on.
They are…
*drumroll*
Ooooopsie!
Not now. Not here.
I want to be able to go into a bit more depth and really focus on these three points for a successful online business, so I created a FREE on-demand training: HOW TO SUCCEED AT TEACHING ONLINE DURING THE CURRENT CRISIS AND BEYOND.
After the training, you’ll know what you need to focus on and we’ll even tell you how to accomplish each - ALL FOR FREE!
Hop over here to WATCH NOW!
The sooner you start, the sooner you reach your goals. Do it now before you forget.
Feed your focus!

Evere get a tinge of jealousy when you’re scrolling on Facebook and you see someone bragging about their lead gen?
...especially when you are patiently waiting for your own lead magnet to start raking in the subscribers?.
You start doubting yourself, wondering what you might be doing wrong. You compare what you have with other lead magnets AND YOU SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH YOURS.
You can’t point out why it’s not working.
You try to change it up a bit, tweak it a little, set it up, relaunch, and wait … but nothing.
And then you start really doubting yourself and start asking, “is this really for me?”
First, a lead magnet doesn’t choose anyone. IT IS A MARKETING STRATEGY THAT FITS ALL KINDS OF BUSINESSES.
Second, we can tweak a strategy if it's not working and make it better. Yay!
Quickly evaluate your lead magnet using these questions:
If you answered “NO” to any of those questions, you have the opportunity optimize your campaign until there is a YES to every question.
When you’re optimizing your campaign, you have to be laser-focused on these two things.
First is your promise. You have to make sure that your promise is addressing a want in your market. You cannot promise 101 Creative Ways To Raise Brand Awareness when what they need is Quick and Easy SEO Tricks to Put Your Page on Top of Search Engine Results. Uh-uh.
Second is the design of your landing page and lead magnet download (if you’re offering one). Design Matters.
Aside from persuasive copy, design that stands out from the monotony and the noise will catch their eye, stop their scroll and get them to engage with whatever you are saying.
We know. Digital graphics is not everyone’s strongest suit.
WE HEARD YOU!
That’s why we created The Lead Magnet Generator.
You don’t have to go to design school to create a lead magnet that makes people say, “Wait. This person is saying something and it’s important to me.”
The Lead Magnet Generator is a done-for-you solution containing easy to customize templates. And it comes with video instructions to walk you through how to do it.
Your landing pages?
We've got an answer for that too! If you have a WordPress site, we have a theme that you should plug in ASAP. Coursecats was created specifically for an online course but you can also create an awesome home page and custom landing pages. It can also be used to grow your email list, feature your blog and podcast, post video series snippets, and sell digital products!
Learn more about it here → https://coursecats.com/
You might want to check Conversion Cats, too.
Conversion Cats is also a WordPress theme that is meant to house your main brand website. With this theme, you will be able to get your course up and running IN ONE WEEKEND. Learn more about it here → https://conversionecats.com/

SO, there is no doubt there is a LOT going on right now.
Virus.
Craziness.
And even pre-virus we all had this crazy thing called “normal life”…kids, families, work, friends…all that jazz.
Sometimes the best intentions get put by the wayside as something we will do later.

You might be extremely motivated.
You might be extremely passionate.

Did you like your surprise?
Are we getting a HEEEEEEEELLL YASSSSSS!
We hope you are and you bet we’re bouncing off the walls, too.
But there’s one thing we want to address…
After the emotions and the excitement have calmed, it might dawn to you (if it hasn’t yet in the past 24 hours) that an Accelerator Program can be too much to handle. The hundred and one moving parts of the setup, the one-on-ones, and making sure you’re maximizing profitability can look like biting more than you can chew.
Word. Totally understandable.
There are three walls you need to break to get through this and launch a profitable and successful accelerator program.
ONE: The MIND
Okay. We know - BORING. Hear us out, we can’t skip this part. We have to accept that it is a mindset thing. You’ve proven this to yourself when you launched your first online course. Before actually launching it felt impossible. But when you put on your growth mindset -- the kind of mindset that talked yourself into learning, doing, handling the setbacks, making breakthroughs, YOU DID IT. You made it happen.
You know how to break this wall already. Meditate if you have to, talk to yourself in front of the mirror, find inspiration while taking a walk. Burn that sage if you need to. Do whatever you need to shift your mindset from doubting to doing. Take. That. Step.
TWO: The HEART
Launching an accelerator program requires lots of decision making. And while you’re making those decisions, you should still love what you are doing or else the dreaded burnout descends. That’s why you can’t rely on the brain alone.
Your heart is where your “why” is. The “why” that kicked off all this. Every now and then you have to remind yourself so that you can power through and get things done when they need to be done!
THREE: The STRATEGY
We can’t really do much for the first two. Those fully rely on you. We can boost you with a “you can do this”, a pat on the back, or whatever your encouragement language is (if there is a love language we INSIST there is an encouragement language, too!).
But this third one, we can teach! And so we will - with finesse and brilliance, our founder, DSG will be hosting it after all!
Put these three things together and you’ve got the formula to accelerating your business to the next level!

...not hidden in some brown envelope stamped TOP SECRET.
The secret behind every successful Facebook Ads is TARGETING.
When you know how to target the right people on Facebook, you’ll be able to deliver your message to them. And if you’re persuasive enough, your message turns into sales and profit.
Music to our ears, yeah?
But it’s not a perfect melody. Facebook ads have led to many frustrated entrepreneurs who thought that they would make it big once by simply launching an ad with a huge ad budget.
It doesn’t work that way.
The reason why Facebook Ads, when done right, can be a profit generating machine is because there is the capability to target a specific group of people. If you haven’t tried it yet, check out Facebook Audience Insights
If you don’t know how to maximize that feature, you’re spinning your wheels. One wrong box ticked when your setting up your audience could mean downfall to your whole campaign.
And it’s not like it’s easy to figure out even after you’ve read and watched dozens of tutorials. Expect headache over a headache over a headache when trying it out; unless…
YOU JOIN US IN OUR UPCOMING WORKSHOP!
We heard your cries about Facebook problems so we created a workshop to exclusively help you target your ads so the land on the right feed. So you can FINALLY find profits in FB Ads.
We’ve invited a targeting expert to spill his secrets and when he said ‘YES’, we put all hands on deck to make this happen!
It’s coming together and we’re almost ready to open its doors.
So WATCH OUT ! You’ll definitely not want to miss any of our upcoming emails.
Prepping for your targeting success,

Happy 2021 (and whew….goooooodbye 2020).
Today I wanted to share with you the most important announcement I’ve ever made since I began this company in 2009.
Instead of writing it out, I thought no better way to share this with you than with a video:
CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO!
All the best,
DSG
Hey Joseph
A huge, warm welcome from a frosty locked-down UK (anyone else getting bored of the home office yet?).
^^ Workin' nine to five...
In case you missed my announcement earlier this week, I'm pleased as punch to announce that I'm going to be taking over some front-line duties in the Rise to the Top communities - and making sure that 2021 is the year everyone kicks some serious butt (or "arse", if you want the British term).
To continue with that theme, as I mentioned in my last email, succeeding in any online business means nailing down three specific things:
So, those three things are going to be our focus in 2021 - the major "strategies", if you will.
We're going to look at how to get traffic, how to convert it, and how to scale up.
Under each of those "strategies" we'll have various "tactics" that will make it work. And in case you aren't sure of the distinction, this is how I like to think of it:
Both are important, of course. But these days there's so much noise about "tactics" (Facebook ads! Tik Tok! Vlogging! Webinars! YouTube! Guest Blogs!) that people often forget WHY they're doing these things - or even if they're having any positive effect.
So, let's change all that - starting with traffic...
Now, we all know "guest posts" are a great way to get your message in front of a ton of new people, with relatively little effort. The problem is, getting access to a website with enough traffic to make it worthwhile can be... well, tricky.
Imagine what it would be like to get a guest article up on a website like CNN, or the BBC, or The Wall Street Journal.
Pretty awesome, right?
But what about getting a guest article up on a website with more than three times as much traffic as all those examples combined?
Yes, we're talking about the beast that is Amazon.
More specifically, the Kindle Store.
Here's the quick rundown:
Voila, you just put the answer to your future customers' problems up on the world's most-visited bookstore.
And guess what? People are looking for answers to their problems (duh). If you're up on Amazon with a snazzy looking book that tells them what they need to know, you'll pick up a ton of downloads organically.
(Meaning - no expensive ads, no messing around, just 24/7 traffic to your book, then clicks to your website).
This approach will help you start growing your audience and reaching new people FAST.
And the other good news is you can learn all the steps involved in my own book - Reader Magnets - that breaks down all the steps for you.
^^ 1 out of nearly 400 five-star Amazon reviews (oh, and it's free)
Of course, this book is on Amazon - and it's free (so you can also see how it works in action).
There are no opt-ins or other shenanigans required. So if you'd like the full rundown of how this works, go grab yourself a free copy right here:
Download Reader Magnets for Free from the Kindle Store
And if you get stuck - or have any questions - just reply to this email, I'll reply personally.
I'll have more for you very soon (including a brand-new service we're unveiling next week that will help you take your exposure to a whole new level - we're putting the finishing touches to it now).
In the meantime, I can feel the walls of my office closing in - which means its time to escape and feed the kids.
(Which is my code for "order them pizza and then eat it myself").
Don't judge me...
Yours,
