E7: Get Clients First with Ina Coveney

Nicole Batey Episode 7

Next up is Ina Coveney and she’s ready to talk about her method of getting clients first with a small audience. She's a business coach and host of the Global Phenomenon Podcast, where she's interviewed the giants of the online world such as Laura Belgrade, John Lee Dumas, Pat Flynn, Rachel Luna, and many others.

Ina helps up-and-coming online coaches monetize their tiny audience through organic lead generation strategies before they invest time and money in audience growth. She reached six figures in her business before even cracking a thousand followers on any of her platforms, and her mission is to help coaches do the same.
