I am back with another quick tip episode. These episodes have tips or strategies you can use to help you grow your online business so you can have a bigger impact and increase your revenue in the process.
Today I want to talk about a question that someone posted recently in our Optimized CEO Facebook group: how do I automate leads and sales without spending any money on ads?
Ads will accelerate your growth, but if you don’t have a budget for them right now, you have to start by attracting and building an audience of your perfect customers.
This is about being super clear on who you serve and what problem you solve for them. I’ll tell you right now that doing this work is time-consuming, but if you put in the work now, it will pay off later.
You will also need a consistent content strategy.
I’m going to dive deeper into these in the episode so that you can start getting more leads without spending any money on ads.
Don’t forget to take a screenshot of this episode and tag me on Instagram stories to let me know what you think of the new podcast artwork!
I also want to remind you that enrollment for my Offer to Optimized program is open right now for just a few more days. This is for online course creators, maybe you have a membership, or maybe you're an online coach, and you want to be having consistent $5K months, but you're having trouble getting there.

Do you want to know how to have the best launch copy on the block?
Today we have Brittany McBean back on the podcast! She is here to talk to us about the entire process of putting together the copy and messaging that we used for my Offer to Optimized launch.
Her and I are covering a lot in this episode. We are breaking down the strategy process of the launch, how we nail down our perfect customer and what the research process looks like. We are also covering how to use surveys to get quality data, what messaging for a launch strategy looks like and more.
Brittany McBean is a conversion copywriter who helps online entrepreneurs stand out with crystal clear messaging and a laser-focused strategy.
She loves writing personality-packed websites, emails, and launches that make the big bucks—and teaching people how to be unapologetically confident, relentlessly snarky, and remarkably persuasive.

Let’s do it.

I am back with another quick tip episode. These episodes have tips or strategies you can use to help you grow your online business so you can have a bigger impact and increase your revenue in the process.
Are you trying to figure out what launch method is right for you?
I built my business on webinars. I used webinars because that’s what I was taught and what I knew from day one. I got really good at them and loved them, but in 2017, I was launching a new program and wanted to try something new.
I decided to combine the video series style launch with the live webinar-style launch and that is what I now call the Optimized Launch Method!
Here’s the thing, all different launch methods work. It comes down to what your personal preference is, what your values are and what will resonate with your audience.
In this episode, I want to share with you the types of things that I would encourage you to think about when you're deciding what type of launch to do.
If you have questions about your next launch, you’ve come to the right place.
If you're interested in the Optimized Launch Method and you’re a course creator, online coach, or maybe you've got a membership, and you're looking for a simple, repeatable, low-stress launching option, then I want to invite you to my new free live mini-series training starting on Monday, January 25th.
In the training, I will teach you my Optimized Launch Method. It’s the easiest launch that you will ever do, and by the end of the free training, you're going to have a complete plan for using it in your business. It’s not too late to sign up! To register go to www.rickmulready.com/livetraining.

Making $25k from your first launch sounds pretty great, right?
On today's show, I am sharing with you the journey and evolution of Amy Wine’s business.
Amy Wine is one of my former Accelerator students, and she’s a marriage and family therapist. She has a thriving in-person practice, and she also created an online business called Marriage Sparks in 2019. Marriage Sparks offers a course for couples that takes them from being married roommates to having a marriage on fire.
I mostly brought her on the show to discuss her mindset and her launches because she did $25k in her very first launch. That is just amazing! Not only was her launch successful but her purpose lights her up, and there is nothing better than that.

Do you do launch reviews after your launches to see how everything went?
Well, it’s super important that you do, and I am going to tell you why.
In this episode, I am taking you behind the scenes of my Offer to Optimized launch and giving you the breakdown of what I learned from it.
My team and I did a launch review once it was over to figure out what worked, what didn't, and what we're going to do differently (and better) next time around.

I hope this episode gives you some inspiration for your own launches and shows you how you can learn and improve after each one.

I am back with another quick tip episode. These episodes have tips or strategies you can use to help you grow your online business so you can have a bigger impact and increase your revenue in the process.
I'm excited to be back this year with lots of exciting things in store for my business and for you!
Today, I want to talk about one of the biggest problems that I see course creators making (and I’m seeing it a lot). The problem is they have too many offers.
When you’re starting out, it’s pretty much inevitable that people are going to ask you for different things. Don’t get distracted by what other people are asking you for. If you aren’t focused on one offer, things are going to get really complicated and really messy.
So today we’re talking about how to simplify and focus on one offer, and how to decide which one it will be.
If you’re a people-pleaser and you’re trying to offer something for everyone, this quick tip is one you need to make sure to listen in to!
Listen up! Team Mulready is hiring! We’re looking for an Online Marketing Assistant, so if you’re interested in joining my team or you want to learn more, go to www.rickmulready.com and click on “join our team.”

Do you have clarity on what problem you solve for people? If you do, could you have more?
Today you’re going to hear a coaching call that I recently had with one of our new Offer to Optimized students, Lynette Marsden. Lynnette runs a business called Tiny Toes Sleep Consultancy, and she teaches new parents how to get their babies and young kids to sleep better.
In this session, you’re going to hear me helping Lynette find clarity around the problem that she solves. Listen closely because there is a question that I keep coming back to again and again.
I think you’re going to get a lot from this episode and I’m super excited to dive into it with you.
On Today’s Show You’ll Learn:
There’s a reason I kept bringing this discussion back to clarity. Clarity is SO important and you cannot afford to not be clear on how you serve people.
I hope this strategy session got you thinking about how some of these things apply to your business.

We are officially in 2021! Happy New Year, friends.
Today, I am bringing you a “Best of” episode that is more relevant now than ever. This was one of THE MOST downloaded episodes in 2020 and for good reason.
If you’re looking to grow your brand and position yourself as a thought leader and authority in your space (plus grow your email list and sell more of your products and services), being a guest on other podcasts is a great way to do it!
So how do you go about getting on other podcasts? I hear excuses from people I speak with all the time, listing all the reasons why they can’t do it. I’m telling you that every single person listening right now has unique gifts to share with the world! You won’t be able to help the people that need your help by playing small though, which is why the message that I have to share in this episode is so important for you to understand.
Not only am I going to give you my blueprint for growing your brand using podcast appearances, but I’ve also asked some of my friends to join me on this episode to share their best tips and strategies as well!
The people I interview in this episode are super successful online business owners, and you just may recognize the names in this All-Star lineup. I was as excited as you will be to hear from Pat Flynn, John Lee Dumas, James Wedmore, Amy Porterfield, Jenna Kutcher, Tarzan Kay, and Julie Solomon, and I was blown away by their expertise and what they share about getting on other podcasts (and I’m sure you will be too)!
On the Show Today You’ll Learn:
I’ve been doing this podcast for 7 years and it is the most fun I have in my business. I hope you gain insight and knowledge from these outstanding podcast hosts and are inspired to be a guest on a podcast in 2021.
