37. Creating and Marketing Your Online Program with Marie Vakakis

Kerstin Anderson-Ridge Season 1 Episode 37

One of the big questions I get from my mentoring clients around online programs is… “But what topic would I choose?”

Marie Vakakis is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and therapist who expanded from the 1:1 therapy model to offer online programs, and she has some fantastic advice for anyone struggling with this question!

As someone who has done it all before, in this episode Marie shares:

  • How to decide what type of program to create
  • Marketing to people what they want, not necessarily what they need
  • Her tips for therapists who want to build an online program
  • Utilising other therapists for cross-promotion and referrals
  • The biggest challenges of stepping into podcasting and speaking
  • How getting support will stop you from throwing your laptop out the window
