Tiny Course Empire Podcast

It seems like a smart, even inevitable solution. If you want to grow your revenue, you have to create more products. And it’s true. Sometimes. Clothing manufacturers won’t get far selling the same styles year after...

Business—and life in general—is filled with conflicting advice. We hear about the latest and best email platform, only to be told a week later that this other one is better. A new social platform is suddenly everyone’s...

For all the systems and processes and funnels I’ve created to run my business, the one that rules them all might surprise you. It’s not complicated. It’s not automated. It’s not even digital. It’s a simple index card...

I read a book that was written with AI, and I enjoyed it it. What’s more, I’m going to recommend that you read it, too. There’s something I never thought I’d hear myself say. I’ve been actively avoiding tools like...

Visibility is a must in business. Without it, you can’t grow an audience, and without an audience, you’ll have no clients. One of the best ways to be more visible is to get booked on podcasts. That lets you take...

Would it surprise you to know that the topic of this podcast episode was planned out weeks ago? Or that I’ve known since last January what my promotion calendar would look like in December? At the end of each year, I...

I wouldn’t start with a brand new website or an expensive course platform. I wouldn’t spend money on graphics or write a book. I wouldn’t even create a tripwire or build a funnel. Instead, I’d keep it simple, and...

I like to imagine an arm wrestling tournament. On one side of the table we have Gary Vaynerchuk, and on the other, Cal Newport. Both internet superstars. Both prolific content creators. Both sharing their unique...

Content is a critical part of your business success. Creating content is time-consuming. Entire industries have sprung up as a result of these two conflicting statements, from private label (done-for-you) content you...

This summer, we decided to retire all of the existing courses at CindyBidar.com . That touched off a flurry of questions from Six-Figure Systems members and others: Are you really retiring? Will I still have access to...

Some days I sit down at my desk and I can barely sit still. I flit from email to my writing app to a video I’m editing to a course outline and back again, making no progress on anything. I get up to get coffee, or take...

Just one more revision. Just one more fact check. Just one more chapter. Then it will be ready to publish. Or will it? For content creators, perfectionism is a never-ending search for better, and the result is a backlog...

Crowded. Saturated. Red ocean. These are some of the words that might describe a difficult niche—one that’s so competitive it’s difficult for a new voice to gain traction. If those are the words you’re using to describe...

“But shouldn’t I have something to sell before I start creating content?” That’s a question I hear often, and my response is always, “No. You should create content so you know what to sell.” Here’s the thing. Content...

Do you ever look back and think, “Dang, I wish I’d known!” I’m not even talking about the big stuff, like the 2008 recession (although it can be argued that we all should have seen that one coming). What I’m talking...
