Here’s how.

One of the most frustrating things about creating an online course is it doesn’t always feel like you have control over the user experience. Either you are using something like Kajabi or Teachable, and you’re basically beholden to the user experience they’ve prescribed for you and your users, or you’re using your own self-hosted platform, and you probably need to hire a developer to completely customize it.

Well, today I’m going to show you Sensei and the new Course theme and how you can get a lot of customization done by just using the tools that they’ve made available to you.

Help A Reporter Out (HARO) can be a great way to get in front of new audiences and establish your expertise. 

But it can be SO time consuming to sift through those long emails. It doesn’t have to be.

Today I want to highlight a Make automation that saves me a TON of time when it comes to finding HARO stories to reach out to. 

Here you can see there are 3 steps. The first one is a GMail search. I’ve connected my Google Workspace domain, and it runs once per day at 7:37pm (after the last HARO email comes in).

The search is a GMail query that looks for emails sent from HARO that include the words, “podcast,” “podcaster,” or “podcasting.” 

The second step is one I need, but you may not. Since according to Google, Make is the only “logged-in” user, the URLs sent back will go to u/0/#inbox. But since I’m logged in to 2 gmail accounts, I need them to go to u/1/#inbox. 

So it’s a simple find/replace. 

The third step is the magic. Any time the query returns an email that includes my search terms, I have it add the subject + date, and the URL to the email in a Google Sheet. 

Now, I can go to that sheet once a day (or every other day), and look at only the emails I know are relevant to me!

Help a Reporter Out (or HARO) is a thrice-daily email that goes out where reporters are looking for experts to help them with articles. But it can also be a good way to land podcast guest spots.

If you’re anything like me, you’re not going to want to sift through every word of every email HARO sends out…that’s why I letZapierand Google Sheets do the heavy lifting for me.

One of the biggest takeaways from my personal retreat in May was that I need to focus my business and stop dividing my time. I’ve decided to fully focus on podcasting, which means spending less time on other stuff, like WordPress. Since WordPress is the primary topic of my main channel, I’m going to be putting out fewer videos there.

A few changes are coming around these parts as I change the focus of my business. But don’t worry…I’m not really going anywhere. You can still find my live streams there, and I’ll still build in public on that channel. But all of my polished videos will be going to my new channel for Podcast Liftoff.
