49: Julie Anne Jones
Julie Anne Jones works with coaches and creatives with a successful 1:1 process who want to create, launch, and scale an online course and have no idea how to start. She helps them clone themselves, create their kick-ass online program, and set up all the business systems needed to market and launch it like a rockstar. Her specialty is helping you create and launch an online program that leverages your time, gets more results for a larger number of clients, and creates an amazing lifestyle for you. So why is she super qualified to do that? Well, from 2006 through 2008, she made a really good living as a speaker, coach, and live trainer. Then in the fall of 2008, the U.S. officially entered a recession. The economy was in the tank and apparently, the last thing companies wanted to spend money on was something like outside trainers. By December of 2008, she had exactly zero live speaking engagements booked for 2009. She wondered how she was going to get her information out to the public and (more importantly), how she would get paid to do it without a live stage as a platform. The answer was simple. By 2008, everyone she knew or had ever met was online (they at least had an email address). Facebook and Twitter were also starting to get lots of coverage so she started investing time and money to learn more about online information marketing and building a following online. She blogged and shared great free information there and through her social media platforms. She started developing and selling virtual programs to those who liked her enough to join her online mailing list. She earned more than she used to in a shorter period of time. Since 2009, She has created multiple income streams of 6 figure plus by serving more than 50K entrepreneurs online while maintaining a healthy & fun lifestyle in spite of multiple personal challenges. She is an International Coach Federation certified coach and has been using and teaching her marketing strategy for the past 10 years or so. Making a difference in the lives of everyone she meets is what drives her.
