Hey, everyone, it’s Friday or Friday. Hey, it’s Carol Dunlop, your online wild strategist and two time Amazon. This thing is telling me some craziness. Two time Amazon best selling author is Friday. We made it. I have to tell you that, unfortunately, some people did not make it today. I’m very upset. I’m just seeing the, things that are saying, you know, rest in peace and all that.

00;00;31;29 – 00;00;54;22
Unknown
This virus is real. So, yes, this virus is very, very real. And I want everyone to take it like it’s real. And I think we all are doing a pretty good job. I want everyone to, you know, stay focused and remember that God is in control. You can’t do anything, but God can do everything. So that’s what I have to say about it.

00;00;54;25 – 00;01;17;17
Unknown
So today we are talking about this thing to say, I’m going live in two minutes, but I’m I’m actually live. So if you are watching this, you know that I’m already live. I’m just so excited. Right. So before we get into this, I want to let you know that we hit, best seller for the 90 day Gratitude journal for your business.

00;01;17;19 – 00;01;40;17
Unknown
Again. Right. We just released the paperback version. Finally, Amazon was backed up, and then the coronavirus made it backed up even more so now we are actually. Let me see if I can get this thing to. Hey, my coach for want. Hey, two times in a row. How did I get that to happen? I’m so glad that you’re here.

00;01;40;20 – 00;02;05;02
Unknown
So again, we are number. Well, we’re not number one yet, but we’re bestselling. And now we’re international. So we’re international. The internationally bestselling in Brazil, the UK and it was one more, I think the Netherlands. So do what? What? I’m so happy. I’m so excited. I was on a call with, Nadi Mullings this morning and she was like, do you have anything else to say?

00;02;05;02 – 00;02;33;20
Unknown
Carol’s like, yeah, I’ll just keep I’ll make. And bestselling authors are creating bestsellers. So I love that, I love that. So I hope everyone again is staying safe out there. Your hashtag staying home, hashtag flattening the curve and hashtag doing all you can to keep yourself from going crazy. And this is one of the ways you can tune in here and learn tips, tricks and information and real strategies on how to get your first or your next thing came on.

00;02;33;20 – 00;02;58;22
Unknown
We’re all on our way up right now. More than ever, so hopefully things are good with you. Let’s get rolling with this thing. We are talking about using your gifts to create revenue. Revenue. So as you’ve probably seen by now, there are you receive thousands of emails from people who are saying, I’m having a summit here, I’m doing an online training there, I’m online, I’m online, I’m online.

00;02;58;22 – 00;03;19;09
Unknown
Why is that? Because we can’t meet in person, right? So we might as well do it online. The bad part about that is a lot of these people who are telling you to meet them online have never done anything online at all. Never, ever. You heard me. But guess what they’re doing? They’re putting their big boy pants and their big girl panties on, and they’re just doing it right.

00;03;19;09 – 00;03;48;10
Unknown
And that’s what we have to do right now. We have to see. We mean. And you and me, we have to see what our gifts are that God has blessed us with and how we can share them with the world. Number one way to share share things with the world is go online doing something like StreamYard or B live or Zoom or Bloom where you can actually, capture your desktop and do tutorials.

00;03;48;14 – 00;04;21;01
Unknown
So there are so many ways that you can do this. Don’t sleep on this opportunity. Because as I’ve been saying, I want to say for the past two weeks, the people who come out of this. Hey Amel, thanks for joining in. The people who come out of this are never going to be the same. I mean, I’m not talking about because you’re losing loved ones and people, and I’m talking about the people who were working at a job and now they’re at home working for that same job, or they’re at home because they don’t have a job, or they’ve been like, they’re in the hospitality industry and they can’t go to work because they’re serving

00;04;21;01 – 00;04;47;20
Unknown
the people. Those people’s lives are going to change, and they’re going to be doing so many different things that they never even thought they were. They were doing, you know how it is when you get something awesome and you, you know, you cradle it and you get to actually experience it, you never want to let it go. That’s what we’re going to happen with these people who are working from home, these people who are doing stuff online, these people who have are just now discovering video conferencing.

00;04;47;23 – 00;05;09;10
Unknown
Let me tell you something, and this is a very true story. I was a member of a group that, that meets every, every month. You know, they have they have meetings all the time. And for six years I was a member of that group. And I had told them and introduced them to online, talking about we need to do some meeting in zoom.

00;05;09;10 – 00;05;28;19
Unknown
We need to go online more. We can reach more people. We can get out of our comfort zone of Atlanta and just reach worldwide. Well, they did not. They weren’t ready. I’m not going to say they did not hear you that that information, but they just want we’re ready to do what we started. I started up a zoom account.

00;05;28;19 – 00;05;48;07
Unknown
We did a couple things on blab, but it was like app, they won’t do it. They don’t want to keep going with it. So when the time came to renew it and stuff like acts that we’re not doing that anymore, it’s not our group doesn’t like that, whatever. But now guess what? They’re having to do it. If they want to meet, they have to do zoom.

00;05;48;07 – 00;06;10;23
Unknown
And they just did zoom. They just did a zoom meeting and they did zoom everything. So even people who have been adverse to this in order to save their livelihood and save them their business and save their sanity, they’re having to do things where they can meet online. So that means that people are innovating. They’re innovating like a mug shot.

00;06;10;23 – 00;06;34;17
Unknown
They’re they’re doing so many things. So let me share with you some examples of what people are doing. And then we’re going to get into this thing of how you can use your gifts to create revenue. Okay. Have y’all heard? Now we’re in Atlanta. So y’all may know something about these. There is a brewery here. I can’t remember the name of them, unfortunately, because I remember the store just kind of passed about when we first hit that big thing about hand sanitizer.

00;06;34;19 – 00;07;00;26
Unknown
They stopped brewing and they had to close down or limit people coming to them. They stopped brewing their beer and started brewing sanitizer. Well, guess what? The federal government, well, FEMA got Ahold of what they were doing and commissioned them for 5 million, 5 million bottles of hand sanitizer. What, they just use their gifts in a different way.

00;07;00;26 – 00;07;22;20
Unknown
And instead of making beer now the brew, brewing hand sanitizer and then make a bank. What? Okay, number two, you know those, at the Alliance, they, you know, that should crack within ten or whatever. So all the people who were selling the costumes got together and they started selling masks for the health care industry. Now, I don’t know if they’re getting paid for that or not, but that’s what they’re doing.

00;07;22;20 – 00;07;57;11
Unknown
How about that? Another example. There’s a furniture company and I think is that with I’m not sure exactly where it is, they brought it. They came up with the idea to create this for homeschool kids, and they’re actually doing it for free, but I’m pretty sure they’re going to get a contact from someone. And those things are, you know, there’s like 3 or 4 pieces of plywood or, particle board or something that they’re putting together and they’re and right now they’re giving it to the, to the people who are at home, what so many things are going on.

00;07;57;11 – 00;08;22;29
Unknown
Right. And then finally, I just heard this on the news that Georgia Tech students have created a disposable mask for healthcare workers so they don’t have to be worried about, you know, they’re going to get, get infected and all that. So people are doing things and you need to do things whether you’re listening live right now or you’re catching the replay or you were listening and you’re coming back because there’s a lot of online stuff going on.

00;08;23;02 – 00;08;41;24
Unknown
Listen to this. So why is this important? The main thing you need to know about using your gift to create revenue is you don’t have to be a guru. You just need to be you. You don’t have to be a guru. You just need to be you. And I want you to look inside yourself because God has given all of us gifts.

00;08;41;26 – 00;09;02;16
Unknown
Gifts that will help us prosper because God wants us to prosper. He laid it out for his people to be able to prosper and to do what we need to do to survive, right? And to make money for ourselves, make money for our family and and just to live and everything. So look at yourself. What are your gifts?

00;09;02;19 – 00;09;20;08
Unknown
Do you have a gift of gab? Do you love talking? I mean, I love talking, really? I guess you couldn’t tell, but I do. I love talking, but not only do I love talking, I love teaching. I love helping someone that is on a journey to kind of get the strategy that they need for that journey and to go forward in the proper way.

00;09;20;10 – 00;09;45;08
Unknown
That’s what I like to do. Maybe your gift is writing. Can you write beautifully? Do you do creative writing? Can you just take notes on something? Writing? Maybe your gift. What about teaching? Do you like to teach people or kids or business owners? Are young moms, older moms? Retirees? Do you like to teach them? Teach people something? What about are you creative?

00;09;45;10 – 00;10;09;10
Unknown
Are you a crafty person? I am not a crafty person. I mean, I love art and I can create any kind of design, websites, graphics, all of that stuff. But I’m not crafty. Not really. I try to be, you know, I know how to knit, but if we’re talking about needlepoint and all that, but somebody else, if you are creative like that, share those gifts, share that knowledge that you have with people.

00;10;09;10 – 00;10;41;27
Unknown
I mean, there’s there’s a knitting thing that I joined. I want to say, several years ago on Pinterest, the person who owned that board had like 10,000 monthly views, and they were just teaching people how to knit. Right? So maybe that’s your thing. What about solving problems? Are you strategic? Are you a strategic person that knows how to tell people to, teach people how to solve a problem, a project manager, someone you could someone can tell you what’s going on and you can say, boom!

00;10;41;27 – 00;11;02;27
Unknown
Instantly this idea of boom, boom, boom, boom, boom is done. Maybe that’s your gift. Or maybe you’re great at creating a plan. If someone tells you something and they were like, I don’t even know how to do this thing, and you can do it, think I want you to think about the gifts that you have, that you possess, that you take for granted, that you don’t even think about and put them out there.

00;11;02;27 – 00;11;25;07
Unknown
Because those can be your moneymaker. And if you can’t figure out what your gifts are, then you need to seclude yourself in a place where you can get quiet. Like, I got my own little corner right here, and make sure there’s nothing going on around you. Or maybe you can’t really walk to the library and all that good stuff, but maybe you need to go in a bathroom or a closet, right?

00;11;25;09 – 00;11;48;17
Unknown
And just get quiet and allow God to work through you and tell you and show you what it is that you could be doing. Because I’m telling you, when you get really still, when you get really quiet and you allow God to work through you, he’s going to come up with something for you. And if you’re listening, if you’re listening at that moment when he’s talking to you, then you can get you can get what I call spiritual downloads.

00;11;48;20 – 00;12;16;10
Unknown
The 90 day Gratitude Journal for your business was definitely a spiritual download for me, because that that was not in my plans to create a, a, guided journal, a collaborative book to get with all these, my members of the on marketing inner circle and have them in there to create bestselling author, to create a bestselling book, an international bestseller that wasn’t in my thing for the beginning of the year.

00;12;16;10 – 00;12;38;18
Unknown
And yet, look at it. Look at it as, hey to wonder, thanks for joining in. Look at it as this is for such a time as this, for such a time as right now. God brought that out. We had no idea and went immediately when we brought the project. When I put the project in front of the people, they jumped on it.

00;12;38;21 – 00;12;59;23
Unknown
And then we worked together. We got it all together and we launched it. And then one of the one of the members, Doctor Alfreda, Bradford, she had to have brain surgery and I just was like, oh my goodness. But luckily she had done everything prior that she needed to do for the book. She got all the stuff in.

00;12;59;25 – 00;13;18;16
Unknown
And then guess what? When we were trying to get the actual paperback approved, it just wouldn’t go through. Amazon would hang it up. We didn’t know what was happening, and it turns out that God was just allowing us to wait for Doctor Bradford to get her strength back, to come back and to do her final touches that she needed to do.

00;13;18;16 – 00;13;39;11
Unknown
So you know, God’s got this whole thing planned and I’m like, oh, okay. So I’m doing all for the ride. I’m doing what he tells me to do and that’s it. So you need to get quiet, get in a place where God can direct you into what you need to be doing. So this is how your how you can figure out what your gift is.

00;13;39;11 – 00;13;52;23
Unknown
And well, basically, I just told you how to figure out what your gift is, but this is how you can help others. So the number one thing you need to do is figure out who is your audience. So this gift that you’re even if you haven’t come up with the gift yet, who do you want to work with?

00;13;52;23 – 00;14;12;24
Unknown
Who do you work with? Who can you work with? What? What are the types of people or whatever that really floats your boat that really gets you going? Is it Christian women business owners? Is it Christian entrepreneurs? Is it men who are retired? Is it couples who are getting married? Is it couples who have problems in their relationship?

00;14;13;01 – 00;14;30;20
Unknown
Is it kids who won’t eat? Is it kids who eat too much? You know, I’m saying that those those are all of those things that I have said just now are definite audiences who you could tap into, if that’s what you want. So you got to figure out, you know, what are the characteristics of this audience that you want to work with and help?

00;14;30;23 – 00;14;50;23
Unknown
And again, brainstorm that right down to characteristics of those of that of those audiences and see who it is that you resonate with. Are the people like you? For me, I am 1 or 2 steps ahead of the people in my audience because the people in my audience are about my age. I’m 58, so they’re right around there between 50 and 67.

00;14;50;23 – 00;15;11;19
Unknown
Right? Right about they’re a little bit older, a little bit younger. Hey lady, thanks for joining in. And I they resonate with me. I resonate with them. I know the struggles that they have when they’re trying to do work online, when they’re trying to understand technology. So I can talk to them in a way that technology resonates with them, that they can understand it.

00;15;11;19 – 00;15;29;20
Unknown
If I say you do A and then A makes B work, and then B makes C work and they’re like, oh, I can see that light bulb going off in their hand. And that’s what keeps me going. They’re mainly women entrepreneurs, but I do have a few great men who are in my tribe, men who love working with women who are awesome.

00;15;29;22 – 00;15;48;19
Unknown
That’s the man that I love working with, right? I bet you do too. So who is it? Who is it that floats your boat? Who is it that you resonate with? Who is it that you can really help? Maybe you’re teaching them how to knit, or so are crochet, or are you teaching them how to eat? Or are you teaching them how to worship God?

00;15;48;19 – 00;16;10;06
Unknown
Are you teaching them how to prayer? How to pray? Are you teaching them how to go online and do a lab just like what I’m doing now? Maybe that’s your audience that I don’t know, but you got to figure out who they are. The second thing is you need to know what their problem is. For me, the people who are in my audience, the problem that they have is technology gives them a huge headache.

00;16;10;12 – 00;16;25;04
Unknown
They can’t deal with it. It’s like, okay, I tried StreamYard and it’s not as fun as you said. Carol is not as easy as you said it would be. Carol, why can’t I do this thing? Carol? And I’m like, okay, oh, I have, I have the perfect thing I want to share. I want to share this with you.

00;16;25;06 – 00;16;47;14
Unknown
And the other day, one of my clients, one of my classes, we’ve been working together for a long time, and I was trying to tell them how to do one specific thing, and we were going back and forth and they were saying, I just can’t get this care. I just cannot get this is it’s just beyond me. You know, I could tell they were getting frustrated.

00;16;47;14 – 00;17;08;18
Unknown
I was like, just take a deep breath. It’s going to be all right. I want you to follow these steps. Step one, step two, step three. So they did it. I was like, then come back and tell me what happened. They did it. No. Oh my God, now I see it. So that’s my gift from God. To help my audience is to help them take that.

00;17;08;21 – 00;17;34;07
Unknown
That headache out of out of technology, to help them be able to understand technology, to use technology, and to know how important it is. What is it that you do? What’s the problem that you solve for the people? It could be just you’re going to create a got it journal that helps people pray better, helps the paralyzed or I helps them talk to their husband better or talk to their wife better.

00;17;34;10 – 00;17;53;06
Unknown
It could be a guided journal. Where are you going to tell people how to deal with the coronavirus crisis? I mean, that’s an obvious thing to get started on, right? If you can come up with some way that people can deal with this coronavirus crisis is a got a joke, you need to get that on Amazon as soon as possible and it will fail.

00;17;53;09 – 00;18;13;27
Unknown
I’m telling you right now, that’s what we need. We need something comforting. We need something happy. We need something that’s going to help us deal with all these internal feelings that we have going on of doomsday is is the end of the world. Is God coming back? Is it the rapture coming up or whatever it is you’re thinking about so that we can focus on getting through this and getting to the other side?

00;18;13;27 – 00;18;37;00
Unknown
So if you got something like that, go ahead and put that thing out there. So how will you use your gifts to solve their problem? So let’s take this go a little bit further with this gratitude journal is going to help people, get through the coronavirus crisis. Are you going to sign up for a zoom? You can get you can get zoom.

00;18;37;00 – 00;18;59;05
Unknown
You can use them for free for up to 30 minutes. And if you want to know, free for longer than that. But if you have someone else on with you, they’ll record it for up to. I think it’s 40 minutes really, but you could do a 30 minute session, right? So maybe you create your journal and then the people you sell it to, you say, whoever buys this, I’m going to give you a free 15 minute coaching session on zoom to help answer your questions.

00;18;59;05 – 00;19;14;12
Unknown
So they they buy the journal, they come up with that free 15 minutes. Because let’s say you sell ten and you got let’s say you sell 20, you got ten people who take who take you up on the offer because everybody isn’t going to take you up on the offer. You got ten people who take you up on the offer.

00;19;14;15 – 00;19;38;20
Unknown
They scheduled their sessions. You could use. Calendly or acuity. They both have free versions of it. Let them schedule you, talk to them and you say, these are the things that I have done that have helped me. Step one, step two, step three. Though it. Oh, this is fantastic. This is awesome. I want to work with you going forward and just keep myself, you know, in balance.

00;19;38;20 – 00;20;02;16
Unknown
Or I want to keep getting your podcast or I want to keep getting your tips right. So out of those ten people that you talk to, you have you’ve come up with this idea like, oh, I could coach them one hour a week for, let’s say, three months. So that’s 12 sessions. And for each session I’m going to charge, let’s, let’s just be, let’s just say $100.

00;20;02;23 – 00;20;25;13
Unknown
So that’s $100. What. So let’s say you get three people out of a ten people that are going to take you up on this. So that’s three grand right there. Now of course that’s conjecture. That’s numbers. That’s like, off the top of my head. But this thing really works. I’m telling you, it really works because people want to do business with people.

00;20;25;13 – 00;20;41;14
Unknown
They want to do business with people who have the answers and they want to do. People do business with people that can help them find the solutions that they are needing. Because right now everybody’s is crazy. Nobody has any solutions that they trust. But if you have an audience or a you’re creating your audience, go ahead and put it out there.

00;20;41;14 – 00;21;02;10
Unknown
Podcasts are awesome right now. People are looking for podcasts because why? They can listen to it in their downtime. They can’t go to the gym they’re working at at home. They can turn that podcast on and they can play it, and they can just let it let your soothing words get into their brain right. Don’t miss out on this opportunity because it’s not going to be around forever.

00;21;02;13 – 00;21;23;20
Unknown
It’s not going to last forever. I pray that daily that we’re going to be on the other side of this situation pretty doggone soon. So this is your this is your your step. These are your steps. How you can make this come true. I want you to brainstorm. I want you to create a plan. And then I want you to take action because nothing happens until you take action.

00;21;23;20 – 00;21;47;19
Unknown
You can brainstorm all you want. You can come up with all the plans you want, but until you actually take action and do something, it ain’t happening. Let me, let let me let you. On a little secret, I had another spiritual download from, Heavenly Father and he said, Carol, there are people out there who want to start a blog who need to start a blog.

00;21;47;19 – 00;22;10;19
Unknown
They are out of work right now, and you can show them how they can start this blog and make money from their blog. And let’s start out with making like the goal is $500 a month, so could you use an extra $500 a month? Something that is, you know, is not dependent on anybody else, is dependent on you, but once you get it up and rolling, it can really be passive income.

00;22;10;19 – 00;22;31;27
Unknown
And you could so you could grow it to more than $500 a month. But if it’s a thousand, what if it’s do that? What if it’s 6000 a month? I know personally I know a guy who I was working with with, search engine optimization. He grew a blog from 0 to $90,000 in a year. $90,000 just for a blog.

00;22;31;27 – 00;22;53;15
Unknown
Come on. Now is for real. Is for travel. People are actually doing it. So when God gave me this download about starting an authority blogging project, because there are a lot of people out there who, let’s get real, have I have time on my hands right now? You could definitely do it. You could create a content. You could, create the blog, get it up and running.

00;22;53;17 – 00;23;14;10
Unknown
And by the time this whole coronavirus thing has blown over or to the end or whatever, you can have a money making vehicle right now. This is already blogging project, and I put it out there and thank you, thank you, thank you to Nadeen Mullins and the Sisters in Christ mastermind. And help me to like, formulate everything and get it together.

00;23;14;13 – 00;23;32;21
Unknown
I’ve already sold three spots in it. It is a pilot group. This is the first time I’ve ever put this out there, and when I put it out again, it is going to be for more money. But guess what? My goal is to have ten and count them ten moneymaking blogs at the end of this three month period.

00;23;32;21 – 00;23;55;08
Unknown
The end of this 90 days, ten moneymaking blogs. And that includes me right? Put myself in there too. So I want to include you. So if you’re interested in this project, you want to hear more about it, just drop a comment. Yes. Drop a comment. Yes. How you’re listening. You’re in the group or you can always Facebook message me as like, Carol, tell me about this thing that you’re doing.

00;23;55;11 – 00;24;17;17
Unknown
Because once I get to ten, I’m stopping and we’re starting, April 1st. So that’s next week. So you don’t have a lot of time. And the reason I’m doing this is because there isn’t a lot of time. This coronavirus scare, outbreak, catastrophe, whatever you want to call it, is going to be over pretty soon, and we’re all going to get back to our regular lives, and we’re going to forget.

00;24;17;22 – 00;24;34;17
Unknown
We’ll never quite forget about what this has done. But like I said, we are going to be change. Everyone who this has touched is going to be changed. Both the people who are sick, the people who didn’t make it through their families are going to be changed. The workers, the company, everything is going to be different. Mark my words.

Everything is going to be different. When we go back to normal. So when we go back to normal, are you going to go back to where you got a script and save and whatever to try to make ends meet? Or you depending on the government to give you a stimulus check? Are you dependent on your employer to send you some money?

How’s that working out for you right now. Maybe they are paying you while you’re home but maybe they won’t pay you much longer. I don’t know, I’m just saying I hope that doesn’t happen. But don’t you want to be in control of your finances and control your life and control your destiny? God has put us in control.

So we have to take control. He’s given us the reins. He was like, here, take these reins. It’s for you to mess up or to make great with. Let’s make great with this thing. So again, if you’re interested in the authority blogging project, I want you to drop me. Yes, in the comments I will we will have a meeting and I want to see if you are fit for this project because we are going to be working.
