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.

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.

Episode 183: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-free

Most online business owners struggle with getting in front of their ideal audience and staying in front of them long enough to build the trust needed to make sales. Without a proper system, entrepreneurs often resort to time-consuming tactics like DMing prospects or manually following up, which leads to burnout and inconsistent revenue.

In this episode, Todd and Leah teach us how to build an automated lead generation funnel that attracts buyers and nurtures them effectively. They explain the "7-11-4 rule", how to create irresistible lead magnets that don't raise resistance, and the critical importance of having a clear next step after someone opts-in to keep prospects engaged in your nurturing system.

Many online business owners waste time chasing viral social media growth through "algorithm hacks" and automation tools, only to see their accounts shadow-banned or their content buried. These tactics often backfire, damaging their reputation and limiting their reach when they need visibility most to grow their business.

In this episode, Tim O'Hearn teaches us why most algorithm-beating strategies no longer work and what actually drives sustainable growth. Drawing from his experience building Instagram automation tools and later designing social media algorithms, he explains what social media platforms allow and tolerate, what activities can help you grow, which are harmful, and how platforms detect automated behavior.

Most importantly, he reveals why focusing on your core business craft - rather than social media tricks - is the key to long-term success.

He breaks down the critical concept of direct delivery margin, explains how to calculate your true costs including future hiring needs, and shares his value-versus-risk quadrant for choosing the right pricing model.
