COLLABORATE
The next resource is an amazing way to find joint venture partners, stages to speak on, podcasts for interviews and a variety of other partners.
It is called Collaborate. It is the World's #1 Collaboration Event. Find all the details and how you can register at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/collaborate.
This is your opportunity to connect and collaborate with hundreds of coaches, authors, speakers, program leaders, producers of podcasts, radio shows and events to grow your business, impact, and income.
The event is virtual. You can attend online from your home or office February 25-27, 2022. It happens 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Central Time.
If you don't know how to properly network, Iman Aghay teaches you exactly what to say and do during the event. He teaches you how to introduce yourself, how to explain the help you need and how to explain how you can help others.
When I attended my first Collaborate, I connected with 40 experts who were speaking to my ideal clients that I wanted to attract. It took me quite awhile to follow up with all 40.
The next time I attended Collaborate, I decided to be more selective. I decided I would only connect with people who were perfect for me. At that event I still connected with 20 different experts. It was amazing.
If you are looking to find partners who can get you in front of your ideal listeners to grow your audience, do yourself a favor and attend Collaborate.
There is a free registration option. However, I would recommend you pay the $47 to upgrade to VIP. You will get so much more. Find the details at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/collaborate.

THRIVECART
Now some people like to use specific software for specific purposes. They don't mind paying for individual platforms. This allows them to change platforms for various reasons if something better comes along. They would rather pay a little more and forego the convenience for the opportunity for choice.
If that is you, there is a great affiliate platform called ThriveCart. You can get details and buy it for a one-time payment at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/thrivecart.
ThriveCart helps you grow your income from existing traffic. You can create sales pages, affiliate links, and more with this powerful tool.
This platform offers the highest converting cart for marketers. You can create high converting cart pages, upsells & affiliate campaigns with ease. There are templates to use or you can customize your own pages. It is very flexible.
CART AND MORE
ThriveCart also allows you to create additional revenue with their "profit boosters". As well as the high-converting cart pages, you can easily create one-click upsell funnels, bump offers, trials, recurring payments and much more.
Within the platform, you can deploy one-click upsell funnels designed to convert. You can sell more and create quick, high-converting funnels in just a few minutes. Or you can add upsell buttons to your own pages for truly customizable funnels that are still powered by ThriveCart.
You can take these tools and embed your cart anywhere to capture more sales. Put them right on your website. You can easily create pop-up or embeddable carts to add to any site in seconds, and turn your visitors into customers wherever they are.
You can get lifetime access to ThriveCart for a one-time payment of $495. You can get the pro version for a one-time payment of $690.
Now ThriveCart may decide to move to a monthly fee at anytime. I'm not sure how long this lifetime offer will stick around. See if it is still available for you. Get the full details at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/thrivecart.
LIBSYN
When it come to your podcast hosting service, many people think all hosts are the same. That couldn't be further from the truth.
Does your audio host have a revenue plan that will help them stick around for the long term? Having your host disappear after you have 100 episodes posted could cause you to lose all of your shows. Free is always best. It is hard to operate a business if there is no revenue model.
How is the customer service? Can you actually get someone on the phone?
How legitimate are the stats? Does your host even provide stats?
I have used Libsyn as my host since I started Podcast Talent Coach in 2013. Now I recommend Libsyn to all of my clients. If you are not using Libsyn as your host yet, you can get your first month free by visiting www.Libsyn.com and using the code PTC.
Actually, it's a little better than that. You really get the rest of the current month plus the entire next month free. So if you register on the 10th of the month, you get the rest of that month plus the entire next month free. With some levels, customer support will help you migrate your show.
