Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How to Create a Million Dollar Course with No Experience & Turn Your Content to Cash

[1:32] – Ellie shares something that she believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

You don’t need a large amount of money or a lot of access or privilege to be successful. Look at what is available to you and make it work with that.

[2:52] – Starting a business with a stimulus check.

Look at how to take the same set of skills that a potential job is going to pay you for and deliver those to the marketplace.
Package the same knowledge, skills, experiences, transformations… and develop an online course, eBook, or a digital product
If you can think of something that a person will pay $10-$20 for, you can scale that up to a million dollars.

[6:11] – Leveraging social media and your content to scale your business.

Social media can be leveraged as a means to communicate and educate your audience on a particular subject.
Give tons of free value on your page. If your followers can achieve a small transformation, they’ll want more
Show up consistently and give more than anybody else.
