Financial Fluency Episode #33: Killer Content with Jo Gifford

Welcome to another episode of Financial Fluency – I KNOW I have said this before but this REALLY is one of my favorite people in the online world.

Jo Gifford has helped me with my business from the very beginning. I struggled (who doesn’t?!) with trying to get my content to be right. In a sea of financial information, I wanted to sound like me, while still making sense. Not easy, then I found Jo!

Jo and I talk workflow, content creation and how to just get started. She shares her amazingly simple take on how to build up a file of killer ideas for your audience as well as nailing guest posting and getting eyes on your posts.

Her new site Killer Content Academy is all about learning hints and tips to start creating and more importantly getting the most from what you do create. And if you need a hand finding your own brilliance, no worries! Jo’s also got your back there with her Brilliance Ignition Process.

I do two episodes every week, one solo and one interview.

I also have the fantastic Mastering Money Matters group, a monthly membership group where you can join and we talk about all the different pieces week by week of getting our money systems set up and how we look at, think about and value money and all areas of our lives.

It’s a very supportive and private group just for women and it’s a safe place to hang out and talk. It’s kind of the extension of the interviews I’ve been doing with mainly entrepreneurs on this show, and it’s where we can talk about the things we may not want to broadcast out to a broader audience.
