Episode 5 - Live from Mexico with Corbett BarR

LISTEN NOW: ITUNES

You've been told that in order to be successful online, you need to use all the different social media platforms. But what if you're just not good at using some of those platforms? 

It's frustrating when you don't feel like you can be your true self on a platform because it's just not a good fit for you. It feels like you're pretending to be someone you're not and it's exhausting. 

Use the platform or medium that is best suited for you. If that happens to be video, then do video. If podcasting is your thing, then do podcasting. Don't try to force yourself into using a platform just because "everyone else is doing it." 

In this episode of The Chair-apist, I interview Corbett Barr, the co-founder of Fizzle. An online platform that helps you learn how to blog and grow your audience. This was an insightful conversation about what it takes to build a successful blog and how to reach your target audience. If you're looking for tips on improving your blog or growing your online following, this is the episode for you! 

Corbett Barr is one of the co-founders of Fizzle and has been an entrepreneur for 15 years. He is a veteran of the blogging business and business in general. Corbett also has a podcast, which offers resources that help entrepreneurs design businesses around their lives instead of the other way around. Corbett provides solid tips, resources, and insights to help entrepreneurs succeed. 

It’s All About Finding Balance 

As entrepreneurs, we often put ourselves last on the priority list. However, it's necessary to make sure that your mental well-being is not impacted by neglecting yourself and taking time out for self-care; this will help you manage energy levels better so when faced with tasks or projects around town (or both), they don't overwhelm! 

Become an Online Educator and Diversify Your Business 

Teaching online is a great way to diversify your income. If you want the freedom and flexibility of teaching from anywhere. But, in order to make a go of it, you need to grow your audience. That’s where blogging, podcasting, and social media come into play.  Once you grow your audience, then you can set up online courses or membership programs to help grow your bottom line and give you flexibility in your life.
