| I have a question for you. When is your favorite time to listen to a podcast? 1. While cooking or cleaning in the kitchen 2. While taking your dog for a walk 3. On your way to pick your kids up from school |
Podcasts have grown in popularity exponentially in the last year, and it’s not hard to see why. They are easy to listen to, they can be fun, informative, intriguing, and entertaining. As of April 2021, there were 48 MILLION podcast episodes on the internet. And guess what? Many of these podcasters aren’t producing their content on their own. There is a huge demand for podcast managers to help launch and manage their shows, so if podcasts are your jam, this is your time to shine! Free Mama Haili Murch has made a name for herself in the podcast space, even launching her own show over the last few years. I’ve invited her to be our final expert in the Riches in the Niches workshop series where she’ll be showing us her framework for how to launch your clients’ podcasts. I know from personal experience that there’s A LOT that goes into creating a podcast. A lot more than I had expected. I’m not saying this to scare you, but to encourage you. Because I know that it’s not easy, I know that your skills, and the ones Haili will be teaching you, are indispensable and highly sought after. In this workshop, Haili is going to give you: A walkthrough of the first 5 steps to launching a podcast including: -Pre-launch consult call with client -Gather all the clients necessary information -Design the podcast title and create podcast launch schedule -Design your podcast artwork -Record the intro and outro and pick music And on top of all of that, you will also receive : -The Top 10 Steps to Launching a Podcast -A list of top podcasting softwares -Free template for questions to ask in pre-launch consult call PLUS, you’ll get to ask Haili questions live, and you’ll have access to the replay. This workshop is just $30, so it’s a super affordable first step into the world of podcast management. Can’t wait to see you there! |
In this week’s episode of FreeMamaTV, we’re taking a look back at 4 live podcast interviews with some amazing women who specialize in things from funnel hacking and digital marketing to intuitive life coaching.

| I started The Free Mama Movement to show people like you, how to freelance so that you could work from home, control your schedule, and make more money. Now let me ask you a question: Where do you go when you need to learn how to do something? Or want to learn something new? YouTube. Exactly! So that’s why I started FreeMamaTV 3 years ago, and have been filming weekly how-to videos and sharing them on YouTube ever since. The information is completely free, and just a search away for anyone to find me online and connect with our community, my courses, and coaching programs. I’m able to talk (which I love to do) and share what I know, and it’s evergreen, so it never goes away. There are videos I made years ago that still bring in new traffic each and every day! FreeMamaTV is one of my favorite parts of my business with a big return, but I absolutely cannot do it alone. And I wouldn’t trust just anyone to help me with it. |
That’s why I put it in the very capable hands of Sam Damicis. Sam doesn’t just keep FreeMamaTV up and running, she makes sure it’s working. And when it’s working (getting new eyeballs on my business), I absolutely love paying her (job security!) Youtube Management is a super lucrative skill, and if you like tech and strategy, it’s also insanely fun! On Wednesday, December 15 at 10am CT, my YouTube Manager Sam will be hosting “How to Leverage the YouTube Platform to Help Content Creators Explode their Businesses” workshop. And although she’s a freaking rockstar, it’s not just Sam that makes this workshop so worthwhile. Did you know that this year alone, there were 2 billion monthly logged-in users? Or that 74% of adults and 77% of 15-35 year olds watch YouTube? Those are some pretty high numbers. So, why would you not want to help your clients expand their reach? And why would you not want the strategies to do so? You’ve probably heard us say “video is king” and we really mean it. In this 90-minute live workshop you will get: -A live overview of the back end of YouTube -A real-time walkthrough of the strategizing workflow -New Client Onboarding Survey Template (Video Creator Specific) PLUS Sam is giving you her: -Step by step checklist for the YouTube Strategizing Process -List of go-to tools for YouTube management It’s time for you to put your creative talents to good use and learn from the best of the best in YouTube Management. Oh. And did I mention that you’ll also have access to the replay? Yeah, that sounds like a pretty amazing deal for just $30. Grab your ticket now! |
| Hey Mama, is this you? You find excel spreadsheets sexy. You can organize a mess like nobody’s business. Crossing off tasks in a timely and organized fashion is your love language. If any of these statements gets you hot and bothered, let me introduce you to my friend Ashley Weigl. Ashley is an Online Business Manager who joined the Free Mama community just over one year ago. Today, she’s got a booked-out agency and even gave her husband a job! So how’d she do it? Well, she leveraged her natural type A abilities, applied them to online project management software tools, declared a niche, and literally blew up her business! Project management is an integral part of running a successful business, and a lot of visionary entrepreneurs do not share your gifts for staying on track and getting things done. Having a business without having project management tools (and team members to manage them) is like steering a ship with a blindfold. And I say this because I know. I am a naturally organized person, but I’m also pulled in a million directions every day. There are people out there, possibly you included, whose absolute jam is making sure the business stays on track. Ashley is one of these people. And she has leveraged it to make herself lots of money. That’s why I asked her to join me to help you do the same thing. |
On Monday, December 13, Ashley is joining me for “How to Set Up Your Client’s Project Management System to Scale for Success” as part of the Riches in the Niches workshop series. Here’s what you can expect to learn: -A tutorial on how to set up Clickup from scratch -An in-depth overview on how to use Clickup to scale and grow your team -Top tips and shortcuts -A live Q&A Session And in addition to all of that, she’s gifting you these valuable bonuses: -Client tracker template -Onboarding New Team Members template -Standard Operating Procedure -Delegation exercise Project management is not for everyone. But if it IS your jam, get your ticket to this workshop (replay included with the $30 price of admission), and start profiting from your skills! See you there! |
| What a comforting feeling, knowing exactly who to call when you need help. Back in October, I experienced this firsthand. I got really sick right before Freelance to Freedom Weekend. We had been planning for months, and I wanted to push through it so badly, but my body just wasn’t having it. Unfortunately, there was literally only one weekend on the calendar that I could move the event to, but it meant that two of my essential team members would be out of town and unable to assist. The only way I could host a successful event for hundreds of aspiring freelancers was with help. Without even skipping a beat, I was on Voxer (a super cool walkie-talkie app used by a lot of virtual business owners) with my student Amanda Engler. |
If she was available that weekend, I could make the announcement the event was being postponed with confidence. Why? Because Amanda is darn good at virtual event planning and even without working on the event prep, I knew she could step in and do her thing so that I could do mine. (In case you’re wondering, she was available, my body healed, my team members went on vacation, and Amanda saved the day and the event was a massive success.) Now Amanda is pretty well known in the digital space for her event savvy, but guess what? She actually started out her Free Mama story as a Virtual Assistant. It wasn’t until she niched down and discovered that she could use her years of hospitality experience to her advantage that she became a well-known name. And just in time, because virtual events have become a multiple-industry phenomenon thanks to the global pandemic. The good news for Amanda (and me, and possibly you) is that they’re here to stay! Online events are an incredible way to reach way more people, on a smaller budget, and earn a bigger return. A big return means entrepreneurs are willing to invest to have their events done right, which is why I reached out to Amanda again and asked if she’d be willing to teach you how she does it! Amanda is hosting “How to Quickly Niche Down into Virtual Events with the 3-Day Live Virtual Event Model” on Friday, December 10 at 12pm CT. Here’s what is in store for her 90-minute session: -An overview of the 3 day live virtual event model including: -What a typical 3 day live virtual event agenda looks like -Resources needed (tech & platforms) -Example pricing strategies (ticket pricing) -A deep dive into PLANS Method so you know what to focus on when (3-month timeline) Plus, you’ll also get these helpful resources: -Engagement Resource Guide (so attendees keep showing up each day!) -Platform Resource Guide (gives you exactly what you need to know without having to learn a million different platforms) -Day Of Event Checklist (so you can show up ready without the fear of any balls being dropped!) If you are the mom who loves planning the perfect birthday party, the wedding guest that notices all of the little details, or the host who takes joy in the organization and planning that goes into events, this workshop is for you. Did I mention that all of the details on this profitable niche is available to you for just $30? And that includes the replay! Get your ticket for the virtual event planner workshop, now! See you there! |
What better way is there to learn about a course than through the people who have taken it?
On this week’s Free Mama TV, we are taking a trip back to just a few testimonials from our past Free Mama Movement graduates!
Make sure you watch this video to hear some success stories from some amazing Free Mamas who have started and run their own businesses from home!
When I first started my freelancing business, I was providing social media management to small business owners. Being a SMM back in 2014 looked quite a bit different than it does today… I didn’t have to worry about trending sounds or ideal hashtag counts. There wasn’t TikTok or reels, and businesses certainly weren’t using DMs to nurture and sell. The truth is, being a social media manager today can be stressful stuff. In a landscape that is always changing, how do you keep up with all of the latest trends and platforms without being on your phone 24/7? And how do you figure out how to charge your clients when there are no real clear hours with social media work? |
I’m always being asked if it’s worth it to take social media courses, and my answer is usually “no”, because they almost always teach tactics, which have an incredibly short lifespan (and can usually be modeled or learned just as quickly on YouTube). What social media managers today need is a strategy that creates leverage, keeps you off your phone all day, and allows you to charge premium pricing. This is exactly what you’ll learn in Ellyse Colson’s upcoming workshop “How to Quickly Repurpose Content to Increase Your Client’s Digital Footprint.” She will share with you how to get your client’s amazing results by giving their content a longer digital shelf-life, without you feeling like you’re constantly working and chasing after the latest trends. Here’s what else you’ll get in her workshop on December 8th at 10am CST: -An overview of the Dos and Don’ts of content repurposing -A live walk through of my 3-step content repurposing framework -Tips for exactly how to position yourself to potential clients looking for help with content online Plus, she’s also sharing with you her: -Networking Blueprint (Vault of trainings) -9 questions to ask during a strategy session -Training on how to build a portfolio without any clients Sounds like something that should cost hundreds of dollars, no? Well, Mama, right now it’s just $30. You read that right, $30! I am so excited for all the value and knowledge Ellyse will be bringing to this live, interactive workshop, giving you some peace (and a revenue boost!) as a social media manager. When you grab your ticket now you’ll also get the replays which will be available for you to view over and over again! Can’t wait to see you there! |
| What would you say if I told you there are clients willing to pay top dollar for you to write emails? And what if I had a friend who could teach you everything you need to know to get those clients to pay YOU top dollar to write emails? |
| You’ve probably heard me say once or twice that the first freelancer I hired at the Free Mama Movement was a copywriter. Do you know WHAT I hired her to write? Email. Specifically, an email sequence, which is just a fancy name for a bunch of email messages we automatically send someone when they sign up for a training or download a free handout. So, for example, if you signed up to watch my free training on the Freedom Framework, you got a series of emails afterwards, inviting you to enroll in The Free Mama Movement. Anyway, I hired a copywriter to write those emails for me. I paid her $1200, because she was still kind of new at writing email sequences. Let me repeat that. I paid her $1200 for something she was kind of new at. In other words, people pay A LOT for email sequences. In fact, today, that same copywriter — my friend Abbi Perets — teaches her students to charge AT LEAST $750 for their VERY FIRST email sequence. Most of her students quickly get to the point where they’re charging $2000 or more. (And some of them charge a lot more than that.) So, I asked Abbi if we could help YOU get in on this goodness. And she put together a 90 minute training to show YOU how to get paid $2000 OR MORE to write premium email sequences for clients. You can join us and get: -A live overview of what email sequences are, and why ALL of your clients need them -A live, step-by-step walkthrough of a welcome email sequence you can IMMEDIATELY use and sell to clients -A live Q&A with Abbi — ask ALL your questions and get DETAILED answers on the spot It’s on December 6 at 10 am Central. Yes, there’s a replay, and we’ll even send you the slides so you don’t miss a thing. PLUS, you’ll ALSO get: -A detailed workbook you can use to map out welcome sequences for your own clients -A copy of a welcome email sequence you can adapt and use for your own clients -Abbi’s discovery call script so that you know EXACTLY how to pitch this premium service to your clients Basically, at the end of this 90-minute workshop, you’ll have what you need to go out and get work. And it’s just $30. Which is INSANE. So, what do you say? Are you ready to invest $30 and 90 minutes to learn a $2000 skill? Just click here to sign up. |
