Outline the details

-Who are you going to target? How do you want to help them? What will the cost be? -A great way to organize this aside from pen and paper is to sign up for a project management site, like Trello

Build your email list

-Have a lead magnet. Something like a pop up on your site that in exchange for their email, they get to download 3 of your recipes. Have the lead magnet be something that relates to the group you are running -Sign up for sites like Mailchimp or convert kit to house your email list

Choose your topic and create the program

-Establish what they get with this program? Ex: Meal plan, recipes, grocery lists, Facebook accountability group -How will content be delivered? Ex: In person or online

Market your program

-Some great ways to market are through: social media, blog posts, FB Lives, webinars, email series or giving a free talk in your community -Keep promoting your lead magnet so that you continue to receive emails -Always lead with value when you market. This way people get to know you and learn to trust you!

Run the program

-Set structured start and finish dates -Provide your own personal content -Creating a Facebook Group is a great way to provide community and keep people engaged

Ask for feedback, keep selling, repeat

-Don’t be afraid to ask for feedback! -For continued support afterward, upsell your other services
