Clone Yourself and Administer (Automated) Teleclasses w/Sizzle Lines!
Have you ever wanted to clone yourself? No, really … actually, true-to-life clone yourself? We’re not talking sheep DNA here folks, this is the real deal.
As illustrated in the image above, we assume that there might be a bit of confusion as to how one can pull off the magic trick of ‘cloning’ themselves and administering live tele-classes while not truly being on the line when it takes place, but rest assured that the answer lies within today’s post.
Trusted by coaches around the world, AudioAcrobat has made the process of making pre-recorded audio available via phone easier than ever with Sizzle Lines.
After reading today’s post we believe that you will see how using AudioAcrobat not only makes the process of cloning oneself via phone quick and easy for individual coaches, but also how the global coaching profession can benefit directly from this type of integrated service.
If you’re looking to jump right in and create a Sizzle Line, skip to the Quick Steps below.
Need an account? Don’t be bashful, coaches can create an AudioAcrobat account for free; and as always, there is no long-term commitment.
Note: Sizzle Lines are available at all pricing tiers, for every AudioAcrobat member.
The real trick that will answer the entire ‘cloning’ question is as simple as this. Record your tele-class ahead of time. In doing so, don’t take any audience participation, and DO NOT mention the day of the week, month or year … and the rest is smooth sailing.
Once you’ve recorded your presentation, please continue on to the Quick Steps below:
Quick Steps:
1. Log In to your AudioAcrobat account
2. Select Create a Sizzle Line for Audio Playback over the Phone from the drop-down menu
Expanded Steps:

Click to Enlarge
At this point you will be on the Creating A New Sizzle Line page, where the different Sizzle Line types are displayed at the top. Click the image above to enlarge or see below for brief descriptions:
Shared Phone Number + PIN
When selecting a Shared Phone Number, this number will be shared w/other AudioAcrobat members, however the unique PIN will allow callers to access your specific audio.
Private Number + PIN
After selecting your own Private Phone Number, an unlimited number of PIN-based Sizzle Lines may be created on that number. You may be required to upgrade your account to use this feature.
Private PIN-Free Number
After selecting your own Private Phone Number, you may create a single Sizzle Line on that number, with no PIN required. You may be required to upgrade your account to use this feature.
Moving down the page, you will be asked to fill out some basic information about your new Sizzle Line including a Name and optional Description.
Hint: The Name and Description will be seen only by you, the account holder.
The Sizzle Line Details will allow you to select the Sizzle Line Type (see above for details) and will either display the Shared Phone Number or allow you to select from your previously added Private Phone Numbers which are not currently in use, along with a field to enter your desired four to six digit PIN.
You will also be able to select the recording of your tele-class (using the Play this audio drop-down menu), and prevent callers from leaving a message afterwards by leaving the Allow callers to leave a message check box un-checked, thus beginning the ‘cloning’ process.
When satisfied with the settings on this page, click Create Sizzle Line and you will be taken to your list of existing Sizzle Lines where you will see the Phone Number and PIN you will be giving out to your attendees!
Make sure to distribute this Phone Number and PIN, along with whatever time you wish for your ‘live’ class to begin. Regardless of when your callers dial-in, they will be attending your ‘live’ class from the very beginning, being none the wiser that it was in fact pre-recorded.
