| How to Create a Business Aligned with Your Energy and True Self | 10 Dec 2024 | 00:09:54 | |
Running a business doesn’t have to feel like a constant uphill battle. When I started aligning my business with my natural energy, strengths, and true self, I found it became so much easier to show up, stay consistent, and actually enjoy the process. When you design your business to fit who you are - not what others expect or what someone else is doing - it becomes easier to show up, stay consistent, and enjoy the process. Here are some practical ways to create a business that feels like a lovely extension of you! --- Come chat with me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/marissarobertsofficial/ --- Ready to simplify your business?

| Simple Ways to Use Your Affiliate Links For Additional Income | 03 Dec 2024 | 00:05:18 | |
Affiliate marketing is a fantastic way to add an extra income stream to your business without a tonne of effort after the initial set up. Once your affiliate links are ready to go, they work quietly in the background, earning you extra money over time. The beauty of affiliate marketing is its compounding potential - you can add links to your content now, and as your audience and following grows, so does your income. Even better, you can go back and update older, high-performing content with affiliate links to give you an extra income boost there as well. And I’m not just talking blog posts - there are plenty of clever places to incorporate your affiliate links in ways that benefit you and your audience too. Here are my favourite ways to use affiliate links to maximise income and create more freedom in your business! --- Come chat with me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/marissarobertsofficial/ --- Ready to simplify your business?

| Content repurposing with Felly Day | 07 Dec 2022 | 00:21:02 | |
Consistent, helpful content is the key to growing your business online. It’s how your ideal customer gets to know who you are and how you can help them, it’s a fantastic way to prove you know what you’re talking about in your industry, it shows people what it would be like to work with you, and it encourages them to take that next step - to book in for your service or buy your product. So why do we procrastinate on content creation? Why do we post & ghost on socials? Why do we neglect our email lists? Usually, it’s because we feel like we don’t have enough time to create new content, we don’t know what to say, or we don’t think we’re very good at it. Content creation feels like a big job - it’s time-consuming, there are so many places that we feel like we need to show up on these days, and it’s really hard to keep coming up with new content! Here’s the good news - you don’t actually need to create new content every day. There’s a much easier way to show up consistently online, and my guest today is here to teach you how to do it! Content Repurposing Agency Owner Felly Day helps ambitious service providers and coaches create a sustainable business, grow through digital marketing and build a life on their own terms in a way that feeds their spirit. Felly specialises in helping her clients create a core content strategy that embodies their own energy, vision and dreams, and she believes that marketing success comes from creating messaging that is distinctly you. If you’ve already got content you’ve created previously, you can use that in multiple ways to build brand awareness and sell out your offers. Don’t burn yourself out constantly trying to create new content. Sales and success don’t come from sharing the newest and trendiest stuff! In fact, most of your audience needs to hear the same thing over and over again before they’re familiar with it, truly understand it, relate to it and decide to take action and buy! Tune in as Felly and I talk about what content repurposing is and how it can benefit your business, the difference between content repurposing and content redistribution, and the easiest way to get started repurposing your content!

I’m back after my 2 week cruise to New Zealand! It was wonderful.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever had thoughts like: ‘What am I doing wrong?’, ‘I feel like an Imposter!’, ‘What if this won’t work?’, ‘Am I good enough?’ If you feel irritated, frustrated, ashamed, guilty, undeserving or overwhelmed as an entrepreneur. If you’re not yet making the amount of money you were hoping for, if you don’t have enough clients yet, or you worry that your offers, pricing, niche, or strategy aren’t quite right.

If any of those feelings are familiar to you, it’s time for a perception shift. It’s not what you’re doing that makes a big difference to your business results.

| Creating a Luxury Brand with Elva Li | 22 Nov 2022 | 00:22:44 | |
You may think that branding is only relevant for large corporations with a huge customer base, but that’s not necessarily true! Branding for all businesses - big or small, product, coaching or service based - is important because it plays a huge role in helping your potential client or customer decide whether to buy from you. Your brand is a reflection of the experience people will have with you. The look and feel of your online presence is seen as a preview to what it’s like to buy from you, be coached by you, partner with you or work with you. It provides the emotional connection between you and your potential client, and if you’re strategic with your branding, it has the power to draw your ideal client to you like a magnet and do most of your selling for you. For example, if you’re looking to attract high ticket clients - those who are happy to invest because they value the premium experience and the accountability of a high ticket offer, your branding needs to align with that experience. So how do you create that? Today we have an expert of the show to share some tips to help! Specialising in helping female coaches and founders, Elva Li is a Luxury Branding Coach, Creative Director, and Speaker who helps her clients create a luxury brand so they can attract high-end clients, increase their influence, impact, and income. Elva has 10 years of experience in business advisory, coaching, and luxury brand styling. She combines her creative flair with her business savviness to help visionary female coaches and founders feel confident online, onboard high-end clients, and become the most iconic version of themselves. Tune in as Marissa and Elva talk about what defines a luxury brand, how can luxury branding help your business grow, and how to create your luxury brand.

| How to Make More and Work Less Without Relying on Social Media, a Fancy Opt-In, or Any Ad Spend with Abagail Pumphrey and Emylee Williams | 15 Nov 2022 | 00:40:21 | |
You started your business so you could do what you LOVE and do it on your own terms. How’s that working out for you so far? Because when Marissa first started her original business at Beautifully Organised, she spent some time doing what she enjoyed, but she also had to spend a lot of time trying to find her next client, and the one after that, and the one after that. With a service based business, almost all of us start out undercharging because we’re worried about whether a potential client will say yes to working with us, and we’ve done so much work just finding this person and getting in front of them that the last thing we want to do is chase them away with a price they aren’t happy with! That leads to us working more hours than we expected just to make enough money to cover the bills. And there’s only so many clients we can serve in a week! After a few months of this, it doesn’t feel like we LOVE what we do anymore, and we’re certainly not doing it on our own terms. But without putting time, effort, or money into marketing, we can’t get clients, and without clients, we don’t have a business, right? Not necessarily - in fact our guests today say you can make more and work less without relying on any of the typical things we do to market ourselves like relying on social media, a fancy opt-in, or any ad spend. Abagail Pumphrey and Emylee Williams are the business fairy godmothers behind Boss Project and the hosts of the chart-topping podcast, The Strategy Hour. They’re internet-famous for their program, Trello for Business, which Marissa personally has and loves because it breaks down boring and complicated systems into easier, bite-sized chunks. They have helped more than 10 thousand creative small business owners create simplicity and ease in reaching their goals. After getting their start in 2015 serving clients in the marketing and branding space, they now help other service based business owners reignite their offer, create systems for client experience, and get more of their time back inside their program, The Incubator. Tune in as Marissa chats with Abagail and Emylee about building a life-first business, growing your biz without being on social media all the time, running ads or making multiple lead magnets and opt ins, and what service based business owners should focus on instead of marketing!

| Foundations for a million dollar business with Mel Brandt | 03 Nov 2022 | 00:36:03 | |
What does it take to build a million-dollar business? It’s a number that feels like a leap to many of us, but there are more and more entrepreneurs hitting and surpassing the million-dollar mark every year and that’s got me wondering: What do they have in common? Does it come down to the industry? The type of product or service you offer? Is it your pricing, your ability to scale, or simply confidence and resilience that get you there? Do you have to work harder to make more money? In our experience, the answer is no. You can slog it out 10 hours a day in your business but if you’re not taking any revenue-generating action, you’re not bringing in an income. It’s more about being strategic with your business plan, your offers, your pricing, and your ability to scale. For most entrepreneurs and business owners, the tricky part is knowing what to do to build a million-dollar business. What are the steps to get you there? What are the “must-do’s”, the non negotiable actions that make a real difference to your level of success? The best way to find out those answers is to ask someone who has made it happen. learn from their experience, what worked for them, and what they’d do differently if they were starting from scratch. There’s so much we can learn from hearing other people’s stories and learning about their experiences. In this episode, founder of Lifestyle Industries Melanie Brandt joins Marissa to talk about foundations for a million-dollar business. Listen in as Mel shares her entrepreneurial story and talks with Marissa about what eco system automation is and how it can you set you up for a million-dollar business!

| Using Notion to simplify your business with Carly Smith | 26 Oct 2022 | 00:26:41 | |
Want to simplify how you run your business? Get it out of your head and into a system. Your project work, To-Do list, SOPs, content calendar, launch steps, swipe files, and more can all be housed in one system instead of across various apps and software, making it easy to store and find everything you need in seconds. This is so handy when you want to manage your time and boost your productivity, when you’re ready to start delegating or outsourcing parts of your business, or if you just want to reduce the mental load as a business owner or entrepreneur. If you’ve already tried Trello, Asana, Monday, Dropbox your Notes app, and paper planners and none of them helped, we don’t blame you for giving up and just winging it as best you can. But if you want to grow your business without burning out, systemising it is a must. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be difficult. You just need a bit of know-how, a little guidance, and a helpful resource or two from someone who is already using a good system successfully - and we have the perfect person for you! Listen in as Marissa ad Carly talk about what Notion is and why it's awesome, how to use it in your business, how to get started with it, and templates that help you use Notion without overwhelm.

| How to grow your business and remain profitable at the same time with Sarah Young | 19 Oct 2022 | 00:52:04 | |
Is it possible to be profitable while you grow your business? A lot of entrepreneurs and business owners expect slow growth and not much revenue in the first couple of years of running their businesses because that’s what they hear over and over again in the media and on socials. People’s hard slog that they did for the first 12 - 24 months of their business, the struggle story before they made it big. "You need to put in a couple of years of hard work before you see any traction in terms of revenue generation and you should expect to pay out more than you bring in." But does that really have to be the case? Sarah believes there's way more to your finances than your tax return, and helps her clients think about their finances holistically in order to maximise their overall profits, so they can create more peace and stability in their life, build their wealth, and leave a legacy. She says we’re going to cycle through phases of growth and stability in our businesses, and whatever phase we’re in, there are a few key things we need to do to grow our businesses without losing all of our money. It all comes down to being proactive vs. being reactive by being intentional about how we handle our finances.

| Simplifying Your Business Systems with Michelle Broadbent | 11 Oct 2022 | 00:35:50 | |
At first glance systems and processes might not seem like a very exciting topic, but you'll be so glad you tuned in today to learn more about them because they really are the key to long-term success in your business! We think of systems and processes as “important things that big companies have” but they provide a good foundation for ANY business whether you’re in your first year or two running your business solo, or expanding and building a team to support you. If all of your How To’s are locked in your head, you can’t delegate, outsource or scale easily. You’ll always be busy, always be reacting to things as they pop up and you’ll find it really difficult to take time off or even just focus on the parts of your business that you really enjoy! If you know you need systems but think they’re too complicated to set up, this is the episode for you! Marissa chats with business strategist Michelle Broadbent about how you can approach systems in a simple, straightforward way.

| Reverse engineering your business growth with Hunter Lowder | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:23:01 | |
Remember when you first started your business and how excited you were to set your goals and plan out your business model, your offers, and your marketing strategy? Then you got busy with the day-to-day running of your business and suddenly you were in the thick of it. Proposals, onboarding, project work, handling the little things that pop up unexpectedly and seem to need your attention right away. One day you look up and realise that while you enjoy what you do and have enough work to cover your bills and expenses, you haven’t really made any headway towards achieving your long-term goals in terms of business growth and profit. You’re so busy focused on the everyday stuff that even just finding the time and space to start thinking long term again, let alone planning actions to achieve those goals feels impossible - you’re already exhausted just trying to keep everything going! You want more results from your business, but if you put in more hours, you’re risking burnout, and the whole reason you started your business in the first place was to have more freedom. So what do you do? Well, you start by learning from the people who have been there before. In this episode, Marissa chats with Hunter Lowder about reverse engineering your business growth, including stair-stepping your way into the CEO role, Hunter's take on SMART goals, and the first step to take towards growing your business.

| Actions that generate revenue for your business | 28 Sep 2022 | 00:05:36 | |
It pays to prioritise actions in your business that generate revenue so that it can be more profitable and scale more easily. When you have more money coming in, it’s easier to outsource some of the behind-the-scenes work in your business and free yourself up for the stuff you enjoy doing and the parts of your biz that specifically need YOU. It’s a very simple concept - if you want to make more money in your business, you need to make more sales. But if you sell too many “done for you” services or too many 1:1 coaching sessions in order to make as much money as possible, you’ll burn out trying to do all of the work. You need offers that are simple to sell AND deliver. Here are some ideas that work well! --- Mentioned in this episode: The Time to Money Summit: https://link.timetomoneysummit.com/Marissa-Roberts (affiliate link) --- Enjoyed this episode?

| Should you sell high ticket or low ticket offers? | 13 Sep 2022 | 00:03:12 | |
What’s the perfect type of offer? High ticket offers mean less traffic and leads needed to hit your sales goal. Low ticket offers mean much easier conversions. Both have the potential to bring in unlimited passive income. Both can work as a “set and forget” income stream. So which should you choose? In this episode, Marissa talks about choosing your offer type to align with your business and your personal strengths and personality. --- Enjoyed this episode?

| 10 Easy ways to repurpose your content | 31 Aug 2022 | 00:06:04 | |
Would you like your content to reach more people, build awareness for your brand and position you as an authority in your niche? One way to do that is to repurpose your existing content. Now, this is not a new idea. Most entrepreneurs, creators and businesses with a social media presence have already heard of repurposing content. So why don’t most of us do it? The short answer is, we’re busy! Repurposing your content is meant to help you show up on multiple social media platforms consistently without having to start from scratch with every post. But each different platform wants different things. It’s not as easy as doing a quick copy & paste to be able to be everywhere at once. So traditionally, in order to repurpose your content and make it useful and engaging with audiences on different platforms, you have to take the content piece and remodel it to suit each platform you post on. This can be time-consuming when you’re already busy running your business. What we want is more results, without adding more and more hours to your working week. So what do you do? If you’re me or my clients, you look for EASY ways to repurpose your content that align well with your natural strengths and interests. This makes it more fun, which makes it more likely that you’ll want to do it more than once. We turn that into a step-by-step process that can be repeated easily, and we schedule it in to be done on a regular basis. I recommend batching the content repurposing process and scheduling the content release. After years of repurposing for herself and clients, Marissa has narrowed it down to 10 really easy but extremely effective ways to repurpose your content. Let’s walk through them! --- Enjoyed this episode?

| Scaling your business the simple way with Crista Grasso | 17 Aug 2022 | 00:28:41 | |
Scaling your business. We all want to do it, but not many of us take the time to really think about what that looks like, what actions need to be taken to do it, and how our business will change as a result. When most entrepreneurs and business owners think “scale” they imagine their business growing by leaps and bounds, and lots of money coming in… wonderful! But how do you actually manage that growth and those sales? How do you make sure your business can scale in a way that doesn’t overstretch you? Trying to guess how to scale successfully by watching other businesses do it doesn’t really work, You don’t have all of the behind-the-scenes info, and you don’t know what hurdles they faced or how they worked through them. Trying to wing it as you scale doesn’t work either, you’ll be constantly putting out little fires here and there without having the time or space to take a step back and look at your business model, what’s working and what needs changing as you grow. You need a scaling system that is adaptive and designed to support the unique needs of a small business where things are ever-changing and new ideas are ever-flowing, not one that is rigid and rooted in old practices that don't fit today's modern digital business. Lucky for us, scaling our businesses doesn’t have to be the great unknown. In this episode, Marissa chats with entrepreneur and international lean business consultant Crista Grasso about strategies to grow a business that doesn't result in overwork and overwhelm! As the creator of both the Lean Out Method and the 90 Day Lean Out Planner, Crista has been helping businesses achieve accelerated results and increased profitability for two decades. She has the ability to quickly cut through the noise and focus on optimising the core things that will make the biggest impact to grow and scale a business. Crista knows how to identify the most important things business owners should focus on to drive maximum value for customers and maximum profits for the business.

| How to attract more clients through effective storytelling with Kris Jones | 10 Aug 2022 | 00:26:50 | |
You started your business because you love what you do. But no one told you you’d need to be a marketer as well as a business owner to actually make money! And that part… kinda sucks. We all know that if we want our business to be a business and not a hobby, we need to make sales. We need to make an income. But if you’re not naturally good at sales, this can be a real sticking point. It’s hard to spend time on something when you don’t enjoy it, and it’s really easy to procrastinate on it when you’d rather be doing the stuff you actually love. As a result, many websites have very basic “announcement style” copy that fills the page, but doesn’t make any sales. Converting website visitors into paying customers is a must for every successful business. So where do we start? Unfortunately, simply whacking a “Buy Now” button up your homepage isn’t going to do the trick. You need good copy on your website to build a connection with your reader, and to show them why buying from you is a great idea. You need to take them down a pathway that shows them what they’re missing out on if they don’t buy from you, and you need to do it in a way that makes them feel good about making that purchase. Luckily, you don’t need to spend years honing your copywriting skills in order to write those high converting words. You just need Kris Jones! Krs is the founder of Red Door Designs and a StoryBrand guide with over 20 years of experience with clients like Nike under her belt. She's extremely passionate about helping business owners and entrepreneurs create website copy that sells so they can multiply their revenue and focus on what they do best. Kris believes creating copy that sells should be quick & easy and that your website can be strategically set up to convert new leads with ease. Her approach is based in authenticity, trust, connection and storytelling methods that convert without being pushy so that sales are a great experience for both you and your customer!

| Stress free launching with Kim Fernandez | 03 Aug 2022 | 00:24:52 | |
An online course is a fantastic passive income option to add to your business model thanks to its unlimited potential to scale without a lot of upkeep outside of initial setup and the occasional update. But it’s not enough to just create your course and sit back and wait for the sales to roll in, you need to tell people about it and encourage them to buy it! This is where a lot of us tend to get cold feet and procrastinate on creating our courses, or we build the entire course and then just let it sit there with a link or two on our website… and nothing happens after that. Running a launch for your online course when you first release it, and a couple of times a year after that is a really effective way to boost sales, but so many of us feel overwhelmed at the idea of doing it. It feels like a big scary project that only the big names can do successfully! Well, that doesn’t have to be the case anymore! In this episode, Marissa chats with launch strategist, launch manager and founder of Virtual Systems Sanctuary Kim Fernandez about how to make your launches simple and stress-free.

Have you ever bought an online course and let it sit on your virtual shelf? If you have, you’re not alone. We love online courses, both as consumers and creators.

| An easeful approach to productivity | 11 Sep 2024 | 00:06:45 | |
I’ve been running my own businesses more than 12 years now, juggling them around family responsibilities and all the other life admin, and one of the things that’s always popped up for me is this feeling of being just a little bit behind, like I’m trying to keep up but never quite getting everything done. I don’t think I’m alone there. I’m really only just realising now that there’s not going to be a point where everything is done. That goal is realistically not achievable, so why was I putting that pressure on myself? There will always be another project to work on, another load of washing to do.. that’s not me failing to keep up, that’s just life continuing on. Lately my focus has shifted from how much I can get done, to how I feel when I’m getting things done. And that’s really helped to lighten my load. I still want to be productive, but I want to take a more easeful approach to it. Here’s how I’m currently doing that! --- Come chat with me on Instagram! --- Ready to simplify your business?

| Email subject line tweaks for higher open rates | 20 Jul 2022 | 00:03:32 | |
Want to make more sales from your emails? First, you need people to open and read them. How many emails do you have in your inbox right now? How many have you opened today? There’s likely a ton still marked “unread” that you haven’t got to yet (and probably won’t get to later either), and the same is true for your potential customers. As an online business owner, the easiest way to make more sales is to get your offer in front of as many warm leads as possible, and utilising your email list is a simple way to do this. People on your email list have already proved they want to hear from you and are interested in what you have to offer them, so it’s up to you to keep it that way. But if your subject line doesn’t stand out, your email will get lost in every crowded inbox and remain unread until it gets deleted in the next big purge. So let’s improve your email subject lines, get more of them opened, and increase your sales with 3 simple tweaks! ------ Enjoyed this episode?

| 9 Easy ways to get testimonials & social proof for your product, service or business | 13 Jul 2022 | 00:03:34 | |
Getting testimonials is something a lot of entrepreneurs, business owners, and service providers procrastinate on because it feels awkward to ask for them. Mindset blocks can come into play and hold you back from asking for testimonials, but it’s worth pushing through them because more testimonials mean more know, like, and trust with your potential buyer, making sales much easier. Marissa’s favourite way to move through mindset blocks like this is to take a step back emotionally from it and make taking action as easy as possible.

| 5 Things to Include in Your Online Course to Sell More and Scale Your Business | 04 Sep 2024 | 00:15:09 | |
As a coach, service provider, or course creator, you've likely poured hours and hours into building and working on your business already. And when you’re passionate about what you do, you’re fine with that! But imagine how great it would be to be able to help more people and make more sales (and more money) while working less hours and having more freedom for the fun parts of life! I love going to the movies when everyone else is at work or at school. I like spending Mondays with my mum going out for afternoon tea. I love reading books, doing puzzles, and diving down reality TV rabbit holes. And I love not having to work at 11pm at night on my laptop anymore while the rest of my family is sleeping (which is what my business looked like at the very beginning when I almost burnt out after just a few months). Working tirelessly in your business shouldn't be your end goal. You can create a business that works for you—one that scales easily, bringing in more clients and revenue without you working more hours. Adding an online course to your business model is a great way to do this. Optimising your online course so that it sells more without you having to do more is even better! So in this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing five elements you can include in your online course that will not only deliver incredible value to your students but also help you make more sales and scale your business with less effort. --- Mentioned in this episode: ThriveCart: One lifetime payment to sell and host unlimited online courses (affiliate link) --- Come chat with me on Instagram! --- Ready to simplify your business?

| 8 Easy content creation hacks to improve your consistency and increase your visibility | 03 May 2022 | 00:07:05 | |
If you struggle with consistent content creation, this episode is for you! Yes, we all know we need to create regular content to grow our businesses and develop relationships with our potential customers. We get it! So why do so many of us post and ghost, popping up every few weeks or months instead of daily or weekly? Maybe inspiration didn’t hit this week. Maybe motivation took a dive. Maybe imposter syndrome or comparisonitis reared its ugly head, or maybe life just got busy and we forgot or had to let go of something in order to juggle everything else. No one is naturally good at creating consistent content. But it does get easier over time, the more and more you do it. And luckily, there are plenty of things you can do to hack your content creation in the meantime so you can be more consistent. Tune in to hear Marissa's favourite ways to simplify content creation, and remember you don’t have to do them all. This is the Simpler Business podcast, not the Do it All podcast! Choose one or two that resonate with you and go from there. Mentioned in this episode: Simplifying your professional photos with Trish Evans ------ Enjoyed this episode?

| One handy tip to make your work day easier | 21 Apr 2022 | 00:03:17 | |
Sometimes the start of the workday can feel so overwhelming!. The day stretches before you, the To Do list feels huge, you know everyone will be calling and emailing non stop, and you can’t wait until it’s time to finish up for the day, even though it has barely started! I hate having a whole workday in front of me. I can give about 2 hours of productivity and then I crave down time, so I’ve built my business around a 2 hour work day. It took time to get there, but it’s working well for me now. If you hate the feel of a long work day ahead but you’re not in a position to pare back to just a couple of hours at work, there is another option to make it feel less overwhelming ------ Enjoyed this episode?
