You're listening to the online marketing made easy podcast episode number 45.

Welcome to the online marketing made easy podcast business advice so easy you'll feel like you're cheating and now your host Amy Porterfield.

Hey there Amy here and welcome to another edition of the online marketing made easy podcast now today's episode is extra special because I'm introducing some brand new content that I've been working on for a while.

The content is focused around the three stages of your online business and I've been working on this content because my goal is to help you spend your time more strategically spend your money more strategically and make sure that you know when to work on a project and what to work on depending on where you are at specifically in your business.

Now if I had a blueprint like this when I was just starting out I know for a fact I would have spent my time differently my money differently and I would have seen results more quickly.

Now the thing is I really started to create this content because I wanted to give you more confidence.

It's no secret that we all become more confident in our business when we know what we're doing is the right thing to do meaning it's right for us it's right for our audience and it's getting results.

And when you're building a business there are a few things that come up that you don't know what you don't know and so I want to help you fill in some of those blanks as well and really eliminate some of the stress and overwhelm you have as you're building an online business.

Now today we're actually just going to review the stages and I'm going to make sure you understand what each stage looks like so you can identify yourself in the specific stage where you're currently at.

But here's the deal in the coming months I'm going to drill down on these stages even more because in each stage there's actually different levels and there's specific marketing strategies that you must focus on in order to build a solid foundation for your business and move on.

So you might be in the monetization stage now but you might have missed four or five things in that startup stage that will really help you increase your revenue in the monetization stage so there's definitely different things you should be doing and I'll explain what those things are and why you should be doing them to get bigger results in your online business that's actually coming in the coming months.

But for today like I said we're going to drill down on these stages and really help you understand what they look like and what's most important for each stage.

Now to help me go through these stages I've invited my great friend and mentor Marie Forleo to actually offer insight in her feedback based on her own experience of going through these different stages.

She's since over the years built a multi million dollar business but there was a time where she was deep in the trenches starting her business list building figuring out programs and products figuring out how to start a blog what to do on video all of that happened during the course of her growing her business of course and she's going to shed some light on that.

Now if you don't know Marie Marie actually was named by Oprah as a thought leader for the next generation and one of Inc's 500 fastest growing companies in 2014.

Now she has a pretty big mission for her business everything she does is to help you realize your greatest potential and use your unique talents to change the world.

Now she teaches through her award winning show Marie TV and she also has an extremely popular training program called B-School.

I invested in the very first B-School program and it truly shaped the success of my business.

So that's why I'm so excited to bring you Marie today because she can offer so much insight and feedback in terms of what these stages look like and how to navigate through them gracefully.

Now in addition to that today Marie just launched a free video mini training series all about building your business online and a lot of the things we're going to talk about the stages of your business.
