Thought about using a virtual summit to get started in your business? Well I hadn't until I met Liam Austin - who is a virtual summit expert.

I get all the key questions asked - How do you get people to speak at your virtual summit if they've never heard of you and have no list?

What tech do you use to make the process simple?

How can you use virtual summit to deliver the Oprah effect for market leadership and influence - you can go from zero to making money surprisingly quickly.

I was so impressed with what Liam had to say I decided I'm going to hold a virtual summit later in the year.

Liam is releasing a free series all about virtual summits - you can sign up at this link

I got to interview Justin Brooke - the behind the scenes goto guy for what's happening in the world of getting Traffic. We go through the five best (and coolest) sources of traffic for this year.

By the way you should head over to http://adskills.com and get on Justin's newsletter - it's a must read on traffic everytime It hits my mailbox

Want to get people on a webinar - we are all doing it wrong - Justin tells us whats working now and the very clever concept of "content upgrades"

I also ask him - If he was starting from scratch - how would he build his audience.

And right at the end - thanks to Academy member and ace photographer Michael Zeibel - he drops a youtube traffic gem that I'm starting this week!!

How many productivity systems have you tried? Five, Ten, Twenty!! From Filofax to dozens of apps for the phone - You've tried them all.

They will never work for you but it's not your fault.

They are designed for non-entrepreneurs (even the ones marketed to you!!). Entrepreneurs make up roughly 5% of the population. Fortunately, there is a productivy system which will work for you and it will take you just a few minutes to set up.

This podcast will show you how it's done and when you try it - it's magic.

There is a workbook you can download for free associated with this podcast. You can access it at https://yourfirstdollar.com/kanban/

Give this a try and see why this system is so revolutionary.

Entrepreneurs and business owners need to design 50 minute work sessions very differently to normal people. If you're starting a business you only have a few of these key 50 minute work sessions (we call them Critical Focus Time™) each week.

* Have you ever sat yourself down only to wonder what you need to do and you spend precious minutes figuring it out?

* Got ready for work only to discover you haven't got a key thing which will allow you to complete the session?

* Started only to find yourself frustrated and lost and feel terrible because you wasted your time?

Then this is video for you!! See what the new science of productivity for entrepreneurs can teach you about creating the perfect work session.

Turns out their are three factors to determine how hard or easy you will find a task.

In this podcast I'll explain what the three pasrts of easy are and then take you through a live weekly planning session I do with Academy students each week.

In this podcast - I explain the three areas you need to have sorted to have a successful online business. What's a successful business? I'm glad you asked! In the academy we believe a successful business is where you are;

  • Working in a NICHE you love
  • Living a life-STYLE you have designed
  • Earning the Income you need to support your goals and ambitions

To achieve this- you need to focus on three areas - and i'm pretty sure - at least two of them you haven't considered before...

I'd love to know, which area I discussed in the podcast do you need the most help in? Send me an email to ed@nichestyleacademy.com

Episode 8 - Solutions Episode - A Challenger's $400,000 Dollar Journey

I can't tell you how much this episode tickles my fancy. Phil Woolgar was a small town paper editor in Canada and heard about the Challenge.

He grew his awesome idea into a $400,000 a year a business - His niche is beyond awesome.

He did it all through email to start and has only had a proper website for the last 5 months...

But not without it's challenges...

Facebook was a bust (Wait till you hear why it is!!)

The thing I LOVE about the episode is at the end we come up with a killer idea for his business.

BUT

What I think you'll find interesting is the way we worked up to coming with this idea.

Yet again it shows the power of having someone to bounce ideas off.

Our first brainstorming/solution episode. Choosing a market can be a scary proposition for someone starting out. Choosing a small segment of that market is even harder (even for experienced entrepreneurs)

In this episode we cover

  • Why is choosing a market so important (and it's not what you think!)
  • How do Artists, Authors and Makers use Market selection to build a tribe
  • A super Cool Instagram technique that took an account from 0 to 2000 followers in December alone
  • Do you offer a solution? If you're interest is helping people (Personal development, Health, Diet, Wellness). We show you a cool technique about using the first step of your solution to identify your first single target market.
  • The two exercises (which take 35 minutes total) which will get you your first market to use for your thirty day challenge - Starting from Scratch - this is what you need to do.
