    Alan: And $ 4ust want to &now where the, its a little, its still a bit o# un&nown #or

    me because $m not ;uite sure what ++ obviously we have ++ $m in #rom anindustry where people do have a lot o# ;uestions. Anythin! #rom retreats, to laser,

    to #acials, to, you &now, to sun screens and all that sort o# stu##, and is it ++ would

    you recommended me !oin! down this tre& and i# so, how1 'hats my best

    approach1

    Andrew McCauley: 8ood ;uestion, $ thin& with an industry that has a lot o#

    ;uestions its a very !ood industry to do this sort o# thin!, whether its blo!!in!

    and podcastin!. -ecause heres the thin!, a podcast can !o as lon! as you want it

    to !o. Theres podcasts out there that !o #or a minute thirty o# the same podcast

    !o #or, which is barely enou!h time to even say your name, so, but theres

    podcasts out there that !o #or two hours. "ow, i# you want to do a re!ular podcastand youve !ot in#ormation you want to share with people, and youve !ot a lot o#

    ;uestions comin! throu!h because you !ot a whole ran!e o# di##erent topics you

    could cover, then $ thin& a podcast would be ri!ht up your alley because theres

    not a lot o# beauty podcast out there that $ &now o# and its not that hard to !et

    ran&ed very well in podcasts, but it also establishes your authority as, you &now,

    weve !ot a re!ular podcast, not only do we do a beauty therapy stu##, but were

    tal&in! about, were teachin! people and other industry people are comin! to you

    to listen to that as well.

    Heather Porter: -ut its also a really ;uic& way #or you to position yoursel# as the

    e9pert because $ &now in your industry you have roc& stars in the industry,specialist in their own #ields, i# you were to approach them, chances are many o#

    them dont have any publishin! or any podcast and you can say come on my

    show, $m !oin! to interview you and then suddenly youre not only 4ust

    s&yroc&etin! your credibility but youre o##erin! amain! content to your #ollowers,

    as well. And also, A=s. Anytime you have a lot o# ;uestions every sin!le ;uestion

    you should !et you should be notin! that down in and creatin! one piece o#

    content #rom that, whether its a podcast or a video that you can stic& on

    ouTube.

    Andrew McCauley: *i!ht, yeah. >oes that ma&e sense1

    Alan: Totally.

    Andrew McCauley: eah, youve !ot a really !ood opportunity here to really

    e9plore what it is and as Heather said, youve !ot people out there that want to

    be #amous in your industry. Theyre loo&in! #or a plat#orm to do it and i# you can

    deliver that they can open up doors #or you. Theyre !oin! to tell people, ?Hey $

    was on this podcast?, and their in#luence is !oin! to tell other people about your

    podcast. And all o# a sudden, once thats in place, theyre everywhere.

    Heather Porter: Another thin! too, because part o# your industry you could do

    some blo! post and some writin! around that, and a!ain, when you are an e9pert

    positionin! yoursel# as an e9pert you can invite other people to create the content

    #or you. And it is a very #ast way to say $m the hub o# &nowled!e in this industry,

    $ attract the e9perts, there#ore you should come and han! out with me and hearwhat not only $ have in my dream team but also what everyone else can say.

    Alan: Thats correct, and once $ have the in#ormation, obviously other than my

    own website and perhaps even aceboo&, what other plat#orms are there #or

    distributin! that or !ivin!... showin! o## that individual1

    Andrew McCauley: As #ar as this podcast !oes, were not !oin! to tal& about that

    in the podcast but youll see that in this event later today, how we distribute that,

    where to distribute it and what sort o# other methods and media you can actually

    use and convert that and repurpose it.

    Heather Porter: $ 4ust say rule o# thumb #or every piece o# content you create #ind

    two other places you can also stic& it. %o i# youre stic&in! it on ouTube, #ind two

    other video sites you can put it on. )imeo, )idlr, so 4ust rule o# thumb whenever

    you have a piece o# content where else can $ put it1 Two other areas online $ can

    also put it.

    Alan: Terri#ic, than&s !uys. Than&s #or lettin! me &now, especially you, Heather

    with the stic& it impression.

    Heather Porter: $ &new you would li&e that comment.

    Alan: Than& you

    Heather Porter: $t came out o# my mouth and then $ thou!ht, ?hh thats not

    ri!ht?. Alan, you need to share your website.

    Alan: %ure, its www.nats&in.com

    Heather Porter: "ow, #or you !uys listenin!, youre !oin! to have to come and

    chec& out these amain! websites so you can see what these !uys loo& li&e.

    and it may be in the #orm o# videos and maybe in the #orm o# podcast, maybe the#orm o# blo! post, but have you+ how can you deliver that1 And you can deliver it

    in a number o# di##erent ways, you can do all o# them. How can you deliver that as

    a value added #or people who come to your site because, your site may want to

    be the one stop shop where $m not only buyin! e;uipment but $m watchin! how

    to use it and $ &now $m #indin! out all the e9ercises to use with this e;uipment,

    $m also learnin! what to eat when $ use this e;uipment to !et the best results

    possible sort o# thin!. $s that somethin! youve ever considered doin!1

    *ochelle: 'eve considered that to the level o# doin! a membership site, so we

    would have the entry site, elite#itness and then we would !o to a membership

    site. 'e could then be your one stop shop #or that in#ormation.

    Heather Porter: Have you tal&ed to your clients as well1 Have as&ed them what

    else that you could provide1

    *ochelle: es, we have done some mar&et research and a lot o# them, because

    were loo&in! at o##ice and so #orth, what we could !ive away to promote people

    to purchase and a lot o# them were actually sayin! that they want some sort o#

    trainin! and support a#ter theyve actually receive the product.

    Andrew McCauley: And hows that membership site !oin!1

    *ochelle: "o, we havent developed that. 'eve !ot the idea, but we actuallyhavent created it so...

    Andrew McCauley: ou can also do a membership site, people !et stuc& with

    membership sites thin&in! that its either #ree or #ully paid and theres no in

    between. ou can do a bit o# a mi9ture o# both, you can !ive people a taste o#

    whats in the membership site, !ive them a trainin!, !ive them a... let0s say

    youve !ot a #ive step trainin! #or a piece o# machinery and you mi!ht say heres

    the #irst two e9ercises, but si!n up #or the membership to !et the ne9t si9. Alri!ht,

    so you mi!ht have all these e9tra thin!s li&e, wow $ really want to do this

    e9ercise, $ love this machine but $ want those other trainin! videos, how do $ !o

    in there and #ind these other cool #itness routines that $m loo&in! #or1 %o youcould do a bit o# a mi9ture too, so it doesnt have to be all or nothin!, it could be

    a mi9 between both.

    *ochelle: Can you have a couple o# di##erent levels1

    Andrew McCauley: Absolutely, yeah. And most membership sites out there will let

    you do that so you can have a #ree membership site, you can have a silver, !old,

    platinum, whatever you want to call it, you can call it anythin! you li&e, you can

    have more than three. And people ++ they even let you now roll over so i#

    someone wants to up!rade thats easy #or them to up!rade, i# you down!rade, it

    all becomes automatic when you use some o# these plat#orms out there. -ut, its a

    !reat way to &eep people interested in comin! bac& and &eepin! their, your name

    in their head.

    Heather Porter: ne other thin! too that wor&s really as we start to wrap up with

    you is, to position yoursel# as the !o to place in your industry, you can do that

    throu!h an industry white paper or a study paper and actually do mar&et results

    on whats !oin! on in your industry. >o all the research and then pile it into report

    and you can even promote that with videos and interviewin! other e9perts, the

    hi!her you position yoursel# as the !o to person in your space, the more you can

    command as #ar as money, as well.

    *ochelle: That ma&es sense, so how o#ten would you do podcast1 $ thin& you were
