Many online business owners create Facebook groups but struggle to keep them active and alive - no engagement, no conversations, and eventually, a dead community that isn't driving sales calls or clients.

In this episode, Shivani Sharma teaches us how to maximize engagement in Facebook groups and revive abandoned communities using strategic challenges, consistent live content, and proven frameworks that turn group members into paying clients. She shares her approach to running regular challenges with VIP upgrades that create urgency, build relationships, and convert community members into high-ticket buyers.

About Shivani Sharma: Shivani is a blind six-figure business coach on her way to scaling to seven figures. An award-winning digital marketer, she has worked with globally recognized brands like Coca Cola, Tim Hortons, Mercedes, Nestlé, Dove, and more. Despite thriving in her craft, Shivani found the corporate world an unwelcoming space for someone with her unique challenges. Feeling crushed by the lack of inclusivity, she decided to leave and launch her own marketing agency.

However, her entrepreneurial journey wasn’t smooth. Even with her vast marketing experience, she struggled to generate clients. Shivani eventually turned inward, mastering organic marketing, sales, and community building. After years of research and experimentation, she cracked the formula for creating a thriving community of buyers.

Now, Shivani teaches thousands of women entrepreneurs how to amplify their income and impact without relying on big-budget marketing strategies. Her Group Attraction Marketing Ecosystem has helped countless coaches, consultants, and service providers grow their businesses organically while staying aligned with their values.

Episode 189: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-free

Most online entrepreneurs struggle to clearly articulate their high-ticket offer, leaving prospects confused and uncertain—which kills conversions. Without a concise way to communicate your value, you're left overexplaining, value-stacking bonuses that feel like work, and wondering why no one's buying.

In this episode, Stirling Gardner teaches us how to sell any high-ticket offer using his "One Slide Offer" framework—a visual method that delivers your pitch in under five minutes. He breaks down the three parts of every offer, reveals why speaking to the problems prospects think they have (not the ones you know they have) transforms your messaging, and explains how certainty drives buying decisions.

About Stirling Gardner: Stirling spent 22 years as a Hollywood storyteller before discovering his calling at the intersection of psychology, narrative, and mathematics. After Hollywood, he ran ads and then an agency with performance-based pricing—a model that taught him every piece of the marketing equation. He realized even seven-figure entrepreneurs often lacked clarity on what they were selling. They had products and traffic, but no message that made it click. Somewhere in the chaos, he had an epiphany: the entire system was like a quadratic equation he could visualize—every lever, every input, and how small tweaks could unlock massive revenue.

Today, he operates as a Chief Revenue Officer in a box, helping entrepreneurs extract their genius and turn it into offers the world wants to buy. His superpower is seeing the full picture—product, positioning, pricing, promotion, and performance—and immediately knowing how to package and pitch it. He lives in Asheville, NC with his wife and dog Bear, bringing simplicity and truth to every business he touches.

Episode 186: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-free

Online business owners face a major credibility gap when trying to reach new audiences. Unlike established brands, coaches and course creators starting from scratch must prove their expertise to complete strangers who have no reason to trust them. This makes it incredibly difficult to convert prospects into paying clients, especially for high-ticket services where trust is essential.

In this episode, Melissa Guenette teaches us how to leverage mass media appearances to instantly gain credibility and reach pre-warmed audiences. She reveals how to create professional media kits, secure spots on local TV shows and podcasts, prepare for both short 5-minute segments and longer interviews, and most importantly, how to convert these appearances into actual leads and sales by maximizing the content before, during, and after each media opportunity.

About Melissa Guenette: Melissa is a media strategist, entrepreneur, and fashion stylist with a passion for helping people and brands get seen, heard, and remembered. As the founder and CEO of A-List Media Solutions, Melissa works with entrepreneurs, authors, and thought leaders to amplify their visibility through strategic media placements, personal branding, and compelling storytelling.

Episode 185: Learn how to consistently land paying clients with this free training: https://app.digitaltrailblazer.com/launch-scale-registration

Most online business owners struggle with converting their existing leads into sales calls, constantly chasing new traffic instead of maximizing what they already have. This leaves money on the table and creates a frustrating cycle of needing more and more leads to hit revenue goals.

In this episode, Leah and Todd teach us 5 different ways to book more sales calls from the same number of leads. They share proven strategies including creating compelling conversion videos that educate rather than pitch, building engaged online communities for direct interaction, hosting live monthly events to capture leads who've fallen through the cracks, and using low-cost retargeting ads to stay top-of-mind with prospects who already know you.

Episode 184: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-free

Many online business owners waste months creating courses, coaching programs, or services only to discover there's no market demand when they finally launch. This leads to lost time, money, and momentum that could have been invested in profitable ventures.

In this episode, Josiah Ryan teaches us how to validate offers before building them using his "rank and rent" strategy. He explains how to generate traffic first, test market demand by selling leads or affiliate products, and only invest in creating the full offer once you've proven people will actually buy. This approach eliminates the guesswork and ensures your time is spent building something that's guaranteed to sell.

About Josiah Ryan: Josiah is a Fractional CMO, marketing strategist, podcast host, and author of the upcoming book “Questions Are Your Weapons”.

He first made his mark in digital marketing by launching an SEO agency that helped over 100 business owners scale across dozens of industries—generating well over $50 million in combined client revenue. From high-ticket service businesses to local operators, Josiah developed a reputation for simplifying complex problems and building lean systems that actually convert.

After running both his agency and his own high-growth rental business, he launched Competitive Edge Consulting to bring real marketing leadership to founders who are tired of guessing and ready to scale with clarity.

Today, Josiah serves as a trusted Fractional CMO for service-based businesses that want to grow without the bloat—offering strategy, structure, and execution without the inflated retainers. He’s also the host of the Christian Business Podcast, where he explores the intersection of business, leadership, and faith with raw, practical insight.
