Why do we as entrepreneurs spend so much time on social media? Why do we get sucked into these platforms and really stress over making sure that we post every single day?

Have you ever struggled to get the right people to show up for your webinars? If so, you're not alone. In today's digital marketing world, having a compelling topic for your webinar can be a game-changer. 

Getting prospects booked on your calendar is one thing, but if those booked appointments don't show up or they're not actually qualified, you're kind of wasting your time.

30 May 2024140: How Saying "NO" Changed My Life and Business00:13:57
In the hustle and bustle of entrepreneurship, the word "no" often gets overshadowed by the constant pressure to say yes to every opportunity that comes our way. 

However, what if I told you that saying "no" could be the key to unlocking your full business potential? In this episode, we explore the transformative power of setting boundaries and embracing the word "no."

Through my journey, I've learned that saying "no" was not about shutting doors but wisely choosing which ones to open.

By setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care, I reclaimed my time and sanity and made better leadership decisions. My transformation shows how saying "no" can lead to saying "yes" to opportunities that align with your goals and values.

One of the most important lessons I share is the importance of setting boundaries for self-care and business growth. By learning to say "no" to projects and clients that do not respect my time or expertise, I attracted a loyal client base and saw her business thrive. 

I encourage you to embrace the strength of saying "no" and watch your business soar. By setting boundaries, saving time and energy, and staying true to their visions, entrepreneurs can empower themselves to open new doors and reach new heights of success. Saying "no" is not a weakness but a strength that can lead to transformative growth and fulfillment in business.

07 Mar 2024128: Why Your Ads Get Clicks but Not Leads00:20:44
Running ads for your business can be an effective way to gain exposure and attract potential customers. However, it can be frustrating when you're getting clicks and views on your ads, but those interactions don't convert into leads or sales.

In this episode, we'll dive into the 5 reasons this may happen and provide you with strategies to overcome this challenge.

Reason #1: Choosing the Right Type of Ad
One common mistake is using the wrong type of ad when seeking lead generation.

Reason #2: Consistency in Messaging
Consistency is key when it comes to running effective ads for your business. Ensure your messaging across all platforms, including your ads, website, and social media content, remains consistent and tailor-made for your target audience.

Reason #3: Targeting the Right Audience
Precise targeting is essential for generating high-quality leads. With Facebook's algorithm changes, being specific about who you want your ads to reach is important. Don't fall into the trap of casting a wide net and hoping for the best.

Reason #4: Optimizing Landing Pages and Funnels
Where you send your ad traffic can significantly impact lead generation. While websites can be distracting and may lead to lost opportunities, funnels provide a clear, step-by-step journey for your prospects.

Reason #5: Form Optimization
Finding the right balance between collecting essential information and avoiding overwhelming your audience is crucial when designing forms. Asking for too much information can deter potential leads from completing the form. Keep it simple.

Running ads for your business can be a powerful tool for lead generation. However, getting clicks and views is insufficient to grow your client base. By understanding the importance of choosing the right ad type, maintaining consistent messaging, targeting the right audience, optimizing landing pages and funnels, and refining your form optimization, you can enhance your ad campaigns and turn those clicks into valuable leads.

In this episode of the More Than Social Podcast, I share the top advice I learned from entrepreneurs I interviewed on my podcast in 2023.

This year, I want you to tackle self-doubts and feelings of not feeling enough right off the bat.

The advice shared by these top entrepreneurs includes making data a strong business ally, trusting yourself, taking time to pause before making important decisions, getting clarity with your goals, carrying a positive mindset, pursuing tasks that bring happiness, building connections with like-minded people, enjoying the journey of entrepreneurship, learning to say 'no', and mastering the art of selling.

I believe in you, and it's important to celebrate your achievements while enjoying the entrepreneurship journey and learning from the past.

Make data your best friend:
Embracing data in decision-making can lead to more informed and effective choices.

Trust yourself: 
It's important to rely on your instincts and confidence in your abilities.

Pause, then take action:
There is so much value in taking a moment to reflect before acting, ensuring more thoughtful and deliberate decisions.

Value clarity:
In business, projects, tasks, communication and relationships. Valuing clarity before acting is a skill to hone in on.

Carry a positive mindset:
Maintaining a positive outlook can influence your life and the lives of those around you in a significant way.

Do what makes you smile:
Pursue activities and paths that bring you joy, satisfaction, fun challenges and excitement. You get to create what you want, how you want when you want.

Find your people:
It's so important to surround yourself with supportive and like-minded individuals; it's a key to elevating your business, life, and relationships.

Enjoy the journey:
Appreciate the process and experiences along the way, not just the end goal.

Things don't always work out or happen exactly when and how we want them to. Find patience in achieving goals and dealing with life's challenges.

Only take advice that feels good to you:
Be selective with the advice you accept, ensuring it aligns with your values and perspectives.

Learn how to say no:
There is so much power in saying no, and it's often one of the hardest things we can learn. It's okay to decline requests or opportunities that don't serve your best interests.

Are you overwhelmed by the demands of maintaining an online presence as an entrepreneur?

You're not alone. The constant pressure to keep up with online trends, engage with audiences, and produce content can take a toll on anyone.

In Episode 154 of the "More Than Social Podcast," I share insights and strategies for managing and overcoming online overwhelm. 

Most people are struggling and facing challenges, and I'm sure more would admit they hate social media. 

Personally, I have a love-hate relationship with social media. 

It’s great for business—it allows us to connect globally and build a business online. I'm thankful for the connections I’ve made, but yes, there is constant pressure to post constantly, follow new trends, and adapt to algorithm changes. 

If you’re overwhelmed by all the advice out there, simplify. Identify what aligns with your strengths and focus there. Avoid shiny object syndrome and trust the process. Validate and adapt regularly based on feedback and stay consistent. 

I truly appreciate you listening to these episodes. If you feel overwhelmed by the online world, connect with me on social media. Let’s support each other through the ups and downs. You don't have to navigate this journey alone.

19 Sep 2024156: Cut Through the Marketing Noise: Delivering Genuine Results in a Crowded Industry00:13:56
Are you struggling with competitors making false promises? It's time to stand out!
One of the biggest struggles within the digital marketing industry is dealing with competitors who claim they can deliver what you offer, but then fail to do so. How often have you heard stories of people who spent a significant amount of money on a service or course, only to find that it didn't meet their expectations or deliver the promised results?

This issue is increasingly common. Whether agency clients tell me they've spent a lot with no booked appointments to show for it or members of my Spotlight Theory program share stories of spending $10,000 on courses that teach ineffective methods, they're frustrated. And honestly, so am I.

But rather than just ranting, I want to offer some advice and solidarity. If you’re genuinely focused on delivering the results you promise, you will cut through the noise, and people will start to notice. Trust me, the effort and care you put into your work will pay off.

It’s easier said than done, but being true to your promise and focusing on providing value for your current clients will eventually stand out. Over time, people will recognize your genuineness and the actual results you deliver. This approach may not bring overnight success, but it fosters long-term credibility and trust.

I genuinely appreciate you for showing up and working hard every day. It's important to keep focusing on those you're connecting with and generating authentic referrals and testimonials. Remember, the impact you’re making is real and valuable.

We talk about: 
  • 00:00 Intro
  • 02:47 The Problem with False Promises
  • 04:19 Real Results vs. Empty Promises
  • 08:03 Building Trust and Credibility

28 Mar 2024131: Embracing the 4-Day Work Week, Running 6 Businesses, and Managing 500 Properties with Navid Moosa00:29:49
When it comes to entrepreneurship and managing multiple ventures, it's easy to get stuck and overwhelmed. 

With six businesses under his belt and over 500 properties in his portfolio, my guest, Navid Moosa, maintains an enviable work-life balance, working only four days a week. 

Together, we uncover the secrets behind his incredible success. 

Navid is a seasoned real estate agent turned investor with over 20 years of experience. With a keen eye for opportunity and a talent for identifying trends, Navid has successfully invested in various industries and built a diverse portfolio of businesses.

Navid, a real estate titan and serial entrepreneur, credits much of his success to outsourcing and effective leadership. Leveraging other people's expertise to grow businesses and free up time might not be new, but Navid's approach is unique. His story emphasizes the importance of delegating tasks and empowering others, allowing them to shine while contributing to the business's growth.

Navid introduced his MDTA strategy—mindset, Discipline, Time Management, and Action. This framework lays the foundation for his achievements and can serve as a blueprint for others looking to replicate his success. 

The journey of delegation and empowerment doesn't end with hiring the right people; it's also about training them effectively. 

Navid suggests a phased approach, from involvement and gradual withdrawal to independent operation by the new hire. 

This ensures the new team member is well-prepared and allows the entrepreneur to gradually detach, ensuring the business can run smoothly without constant oversight.

Navid's story is a powerful reminder of what entrepreneurship can achieve with the right mindset, discipline, time management, and willingness to delegate and trust others. 

His MDTA strategy and his practical advice on outsourcing and team training provide a roadmap for others to follow. Whether you're managing one business or several, his journey underscores the importance of smart work over hard work, empowering you to achieve more while working less.

25 Jul 2024148: Niching Down and Finding Your Personal Brand with Jessica Sorentino00:37:57
As business owners, we constantly face opportunities to evolve, pivot, and even step back to move forward. It's about listening to your gut, making strategic changes, and sometimes taking financial steps back to leap forward eventually.

What makes this week's conversation stand out is Jessica Sorentino's blend of entrepreneurial wisdom and personal branding insights. 

Whether you're an author, a small business owner, or just passionate about personal branding, there's plenty to learn from Jess's experiences.

Jess offers practical advice for anyone looking to build a personal brand on social media:
  1. Focus on Storytelling: Developing a storyline beyond your expertise is crucial. Show your audience that you’re a real person, not just a professional. This emotional connection can foster relationships and drive your brand.

  2. Authenticity in Social Media: Aim to make your social media interactions one-to-one rather than one-to-many. Picture speaking directly to your dream follower and post content that fosters genuine connections.

  3. Content Pillars: Define content pillars or categories. Jess recommends balancing value-added posts and occasional sales posts. Four of every five posts should be community-building, and one can be sales-oriented.

  4. Journaling Exercise: To uncover your unique brand story, Jess suggests journaling your daily activities for a week, highlighting recurring themes. This practice can reveal aspects of your life and business that resonate with your audience.

Are you ready to take your personal brand to the next level? Reflect on Jess’s advice, connect with your true story, and watch your business expand.

09 May 2024137: Are We Our Own Worst Enemy When it Comes to Landing Dream Clients? with Amy Posner00:34:32
In this episode of the More Than Social podcast, I have the pleasure of chatting with Amy Posner, a serial entrepreneur and business mentor for freelancers and creative service providers.

We covered so much great stuff, including Amy's entrepreneurial journey, from copywriting to running masterminds and coaching programs for freelancers looking to build sustainable businesses.

One of the biggest struggles Amy sees freelancers face when starting out is a lack of confidence in selling their services and having client conversations. She shares a mindset shift that can help - viewing the client relationship as more of a colleague partnership instead of an adversary situation. Amy provides a framework for structuring sales calls to diagnose if there's a true problem-solution fit.

We also get into strategies for determining your ideal client profile and intentionally selecting who you want to work with (rather than just taking anyone willing to pay). One of my favourite pieces of advice from Amy was about saying "no" to projects or clients that aren't an ideal fit, even when it's scary to turn down money initially. She's seen the pattern countless times - when you have the courage to say no to the wrong opportunities, the right ones tend to appear shortly after.

Amy's insights are extremely valuable for freelancers, service providers, and anyone running a client-based business. Her persistent, keep-going entrepreneurial perspective comes through as well.
 
Over her 30-year career, Amy has launched six successful businesses (five still in business today!) and mentored thousands of freelancers to succeed. Now, she focuses on empowering freelancers to grow the business they want by teaching them the skills they need to attract the right clients – something she teaches in her Complete Breakthrough Freelancer course and as co-host of the Business Badassery podcast.
 
Amy has been featured on Copyhackers and as a guest on several top podcasts, including The Copywriter Club, Copy Chief Radio, and The Deliberate Freelancer. 
 
We talk about: 
  • 00:00 Intro
  • 03:18 How do land your first client? How do you start making money? Do you need to quit your full-time job and start a business?
  • 04:19 Strategies to pull yourself out of stress

04 Jul 2024145: How to Skyrocket Your Lead Generation on Social Media: The #1 Method00:18:33
If you were to ask me right now, what is that one piece of advice I would give an entrepreneur who is looking to grow their client base through social media? 

That piece of advice is to focus on your lead generation first. 

As someone who has been navigating the challenges and opportunities of social media for years, let me tell you, it's all about generating high-quality leads online.

Why focus on lead generation? 

It's simple. 

This strategy is what will actually help you grow your business, boost your sales, and expand your client base. Though aspects like posting content, engaging in trends, and being active are important, you're essentially wasting your time if they don't convert into leads or sales.

Welcome to another episode of the More Than Social podcast! Today, I'll dive deep into the world of lead generation, focusing on attracting high-quality leads who are eager to work with you. I'm not just talking about posting random content on social media. If you're not seeing leads as a result, then it's time to change your strategy. Focus on posting content that brings in leads, not just engagement or followers.

Many people try to generate leads online through typical advertisements like "Buy now," "Get this free," "Sign up for a discount," and so on. The issue with these approaches is that they generally attract price shoppers, not high-quality leads. A well-crafted lead magnet will attract people who genuinely want to work with you because of your expertise.

Once you’ve identified your ideal lead magnet, integrate it into your social media strategy. Get on social media, talk about your freebie, and get people into your bubble. Convert social media followers into email list subscribers, and you'll be well on your way to generating quality leads.

Focusing on lead generation and employing one or more of these lead magnets can significantly enhance your business's growth on social media. Go ahead, implement these strategies, and watch your business flourish.

We talk about: 
  • 00:00 Intro
  • 01:36 The Power of Lead Magnets
  • 03:29 Common Mistakes and Best Practices
  • 03:49 10 Effective Lead Magnet Examples
  • 14:36 Implementing Your Lead Generation Strategy

02 Mar 2023075: How to Generate Sales Without a Website00:07:42
Learn how to generate sales without a website.

If you've been struggling to get conversions and sales from your website or need a website, this episode is for you.

As you'll hear in this episode, of the main reasons why websites don't convert cold traffic into leads and sales is that they are really distracting. 

Do you agree? 

There are so many options and links that visitors can click; they end up easily getting lost on your site and losing interest.

This is why I suggest a different strategy when it comes to generating sales without the distractions of a website: a sales funnel.

In this episode, we'll dive into what a sales funnel is and what goes into lead generation. 

We'll also talk about optimizing conversions and provide practical examples of how to implement this strategy.

So sit back, grab a pen and paper, and get ready to learn some new ways to increase your sales.

08 Feb 2024124: Unshakable Confidence with Leisse Wilcox - Live, Lead, and Succeed on Your Terms00:38:14
As entrepreneurs, we face perpetual mental hurdles, worrying and pushing forward constantly to scale our businesses to the next level. This constant hustle can sometimes mask insecurities and fears. In today's episode, Leisse Wilcox joins me to dive into stepping into your true self, leveraging your unique confidence and letting it guide you. Leisse is an expert in imparting confidence, and we talk about this crucial aspect of entrepreneurship.

Leisse Wilcox helps women make more money. She is on a mission to help entrepreneurial women generate a million more dollars in revenue in 2024 alone. As a strategic business coach, 2-time best-selling author, international speaker, and mom of three tween girls, Leisse is the Marie Kondo of Your Unconscious who helps you end self-sabotage, increase your revenue, and stop playing small.

Stepping into your true self and leading with authenticity can be daunting, especially in our online-saturated world where conforming to societal standards seems easier. Despite this, we must focus on who we are, allowing our identity to steer us towards our business goals.

The Journey to Achieving Confidence
Leisse elaborates on her approach to achieving this unshakeable confidence. She outlines a seven-step plan to attaining confidence, starting with understanding that confidence is a choice, following through with integrity, and finally defining what success looks like to you personally.

In an insightful conversation about the meaning of success, Leisse candidly speaks about the importance of defining personal success. For her, success means leading a simple life with her family, doing work she is passionate about, and making a worldwide impact.

Overcoming Self-Sabotage
Leisse identifies self-sabotage as one of the significant struggles for entrepreneurs. It often concertizes as deep-rooted fears and insecurities, leading to procrastination and self-doubt. By gathering and sharing the necessary information and understanding your patterns and biological reactions to situations, you can start implementing strategies to counteract self-sabotage. The main Antidote combines self-awareness and curiosity about our thoughts, followed by challenge and change.

Finding Freedom in Confidence
Upon achieving true confidence, we talk about how clients often describe the feeling as transformative and freeing. It enables entrepreneurs to redraw their norms, venture out of their comfort zones, and appreciate each step along their entrepreneurial adventure. My advice to fellow entrepreneurs is straightforward: "Trust Yourself." Trusting your abilities may sometimes be challenging in the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, but it is a vital part of the journey to success.

Living your entrepreneurial journey with unshakeable self-confidence can elevate your business. While the path to confidence may be littered with hardships, you can build the foundation for lasting success. So whether you are just setting foot in the entrepreneurial world or have already built your empire, remember to trust your abilities, face self-sabotage head-on, and let your accurate, confident self-guide -- you.

03 Oct 2024158: Redefining 'More': Embracing Imperfection and Finding True Meaning Beyond Social Media00:06:24
We all want more out of our lives, right? More clients, more business, more money, more flexibility, deeper relationship experiences. Whatever your "more" looks like, we all have this drive to just keep reaching for it. But here's the question that we rarely stop to actually ask ourselves: What does "more" actually mean to you?

And here's the big one: How do you redefine "more" while recognizing that everything you have right now is enough?

I've been in business now for over nine years, which is wild to say, but let me tell you, things have shifted so much as they naturally do for all of us entrepreneurs. 

Our goals, our definition of success—they evolve and we adjust continuously. 

When I started this podcast, I thought I knew what "more" meant for me. But as I continue to grow, speak on stages, do podcast interviews, and share more of my story, I've realized something...

This idea of "more" is not just about business. It's not just about life or the life that we live off-screen.

Life is so much more than what we see online. It's more than the brand we create, the followers we attract, or even the people we actually serve. It's about the people in our lives, the work that truly lights us up, and the impact we have on others. It's about those quiet, powerful moments that no one else sees. 

The moments when you choose to keep going, even when it feels so impossible. That's what brings you here on More Than Social. Something deeper, something more meaningful.

I have decided to take a brief pause with this podcast—a hiatus, as we could say. But don't worry, I won't be gone forever. I will be back with a renewed perspective. 

The truth is, we're all living lives that are much more than just social media. It's more than this perfectly curated post or the highlight reels we share online. Life is messy, raw, and real. And it's that "more" that I want to dive into with you right here.

As I take this brief pause, I want to leave you with this: Whatever "more" looks like for you, know that you are already enough. You are already worthy of everything you're striving for. But here is the beautiful paradox, if I can say that. You can want more and be grateful for what you have all at the same time.

I'm super excited for what is coming. In the meantime, keep striving, keep growing, and keep figuring out what "more" stands for you. Live a life that is so much more than social media.
 
 
We talk about: 
  • 00:00 Intro
  • 01:16 Personal Journey and Realizations
  • 01:55 A Life-Changing Moment
  • 02:35 The Essence of More
  • 03:12 A Temporary Farewell

17 Nov 2022060: How to Handle Mental Health Issues When Running Your Own Business with Dawn Taylor00:37:36
In this episode, Dawn Taylor joins me to discuss handling mental health issues when running your own business.

The truth is we all experience highs and lows. But sometimes, those lows can feel paralyzing. You know what you want to do next in your business, but you can't seem to get through this intense fear, sadness, anxiety or depression that you're feeling.

So, how do we manage how we feel while managing a business simultaneously? 

How do we give ourselves the space to heal and grow while keeping our companies going?

Dawn is a Life Coach with over 1000 hours of training who offers her clients “A Safe Place to Land” as she passionately helps them to find their worth, learn to live and love themselves. 

Having struggled with gut-wrenching depression, a broken back, sexual abuse by an uncle (coupled with a lack of belief from her family), a severe eating disorder, attempted suicide and a brain aneurysm which affected her memory, appearance and health – all before she was 18 years old – Dawn learned to become a fighter and a survivor.

She then went on to deal with infertility and loss of identity in who she was and who she thought she should be. Through incredible strength, an insane amount of hope, a belief in herself and a stubbornness that would have made her fun to raise, she has fought to become the woman she is today: 

A successful business owner, coach, wife and volunteer to the hurt. 

Her deepest desire is to turn everyone she meets into their own rockstar through her strategy-based coaching practice. 

She specializes in anxiety and depression and in overcoming the traumas that have happened in their lives that hold them back. 

From personal to business to marriage coaching and everything in between, Dawn will help you set a new standard, step up and master the life that you want!

13 Jun 2024142: Overcoming Social Media Anxiety: How to Show Up and Grow Your Business00:12:14
Are your palms sweaty? Knees weak. Arms are heavy. There's vomit on your sweater already—mom's spaghetti. Okay, I’m not a rapper, but if you got that, I totally get you! If you’re not following along with my Eminem reference, let’s get down to the real question:

Do you have social media anxiety when showing up for your business?

Social media feels easy for personal use—no pressure, no stress. But for business, it’s a whole different ball game. The stress, fear, and worry revolve around these tiny apps we frequently use. Why do we put ourselves through this?

This episode of the More Than Social podcast covers some main tips that helped me overcome that anxiety, which might also help you.

Here’s to showing up, impacting, and growing your business without letting social media anxiety hold you back.

04 May 2023084: The Beginner's Guide to Pinterest Marketing with Samantha Lynn00:25:59
Learn the beginner's guide to Pinterest marketing with my guest, Samantha Lynn. 

Pinterest can be a valuable platform for businesses looking to increase their online presence and drive traffic to their website. 

But how do you leverage the power of Pinterest? And what are some tips you can implement right now to up your Pinterest game? 

Joining me for this conversation is Samantha Lynn, Pinterest Manager and Virtual Assistant, mom of two kiddos, and the industry's go-to for learning about leveraging Pinterest for your business.

Here are some tips for making the most of Pinterest:
  1. Determine if your industry is a good fit: While Pinterest can work well for various industries, it's important to determine if your target audience is active on the platform and if the content you create will resonate with them.
  2. Know your audience: Most Pinterest users skew towards women, with a range of ages and interests. Understanding your target audience and creating content that appeals to them can help increase engagement and drive traffic.
  3. Understand how Pinterest works: Pinterest is a visual search engine, and optimizing your content for search by using relevant keywords in your pins and boards is important.
  4. Pin consistently: Consistency is key on Pinterest. Pinning regularly can help increase engagement and visibility. Aim to pin at least once daily, and consider using a scheduling tool to plan your content.
  5. Drive traffic to your website: While Pinterest can be a valuable platform on its own, the ultimate goal is to drive traffic to your website, free resources, online programs, or social media pages. Always make sure to include a link in your pins. Also, consider creating pins specifically for blog posts or other content on your site.
  6. Use high-quality imagery and graphics: Pinterest is a visual platform, and using high-quality, eye-catching imagery and graphics can help your content stand out and increase engagement. It also helps with ad conversion.

01 Jun 2023088: Email Marketing & Launch Strategies for Program Success with Chantelle Davison00:38:12
Learn the email marketing and launch strategies you need for program success with Chantelle Davison.

Chantelle takes us through:

Why launching a program or course is important:
Launching a program or course allows you to share your expertise, reach a larger audience, and establish yourself as a trusted authority in your niche.

How to leverage email marketing for your program or course launch:
Email marketing can be a powerful tool for promoting your program or course launch, allowing you to nurture relationships with potential customers and provide valuable information and incentives.

How many pre-launch and launch emails should you be sending:
The number of pre-launch and launch emails you should send depends on your specific audience and program, but it's important to find a balance between maintaining engagement and avoiding overwhelming your subscribers.

Tactics to help with soft selling:
Soft selling techniques involve focusing on building relationships, providing value, and addressing the needs and desires of your audience rather than using aggressive sales tactics.

How to create urgency with your marketing:
Creating urgency in your email marketing can be achieved through limited-time offers, exclusive bonuses, countdown timers, or emphasizing the potential benefits of taking immediate action.

Should storytelling emails be long or short?
The length of storytelling emails should depend on the content and purpose, but it's generally recommended to strike a balance between providing enough detail to engage the reader and keeping the email concise and focused.

Is it okay to use improper spelling and punctuation in emails?
Using proper spelling and punctuation in emails is important for maintaining professionalism and credibility, so it is generally not recommended to use improper spelling and punctuation.

Should you launch often or just a couple of times per year?
The frequency of launching your program or course depends on various factors such as audience demand, your capacity to deliver high-quality content, and the resources available, but finding a balance between regularity and quality is key.

The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make with email copywriting:
Some common mistakes entrepreneurs make with email copywriting include being overly salesy, neglecting personalization, failing to provide value, and not testing and optimizing their email campaigns for effectiveness.

Chantelle is a copywriter and copy coach living by the seaside in Hastings, England. With her done-for-you copywriting services, Chantelle helps small business owners find the words to sell their big ideas. And through 1:1 coaching and courses, helps aspiring writers start or grow their business.

Maybe you have a fantastic course or service but struggle to convert initial interest into paying clients. If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Building a digital marketing funnel involves creating a step-by-step guide that turns potential clients from strangers to loyal customers. Think of it as a roadmap guiding potential clients from the first moment they hear about you to becoming devoted advocates for your brand.

29 Feb 2024127: STOP Running Out of Leads, START Booking Out Your Webinars and Calendar00:20:03
When it comes to marketing your business, having a solid strategy is KEY.

Today, we're going to dive into an incredible case study that highlights the power of a well-executed lead growth plan.

We'll be looking at the journey of one of my clients, a successful accountant, and how she transformed her business by implementing proven marketing tactics.

Defining Your Target Audience:
To market your business effectively, it's important to define your target audience. Our accountant client understood this and took the time to truly know her audience - female entrepreneurs. By identifying the specific group she wanted to work with, she was able to tailor her marketing efforts to their needs and preferences.

Solving Your Customer's Problems:
The next step in the process is to identify the problems your target audience faces and position yourself as the solution.

Our accountant client understood that accounting may not be the most exciting topic, but she discovered a way to make it more engaging.

Instead of focusing on balance sheets and profit and loss statements, she highlighted how her services could help female entrepreneurs keep more money in their business and make more profit. By reframing the conversation, she was able to capture the attention of her target audience.

Crafting a Compelling Webinar:
Webinars can be a powerful tool for attracting leads and converting them into clients. Our accountant client discovered the value of running webinars regularly to educate her audience and showcase her expertise. She positioned her webinars as free coaching sessions or masterclasses, which added value and built trust with her audience. By providing valuable content and showcasing her ability to solve their problems, she was able to generate interest and conversions.

Promoting Your Webinar:

Now that you have created an engaging webinar, it's time to promote it effectively. Our accountant client utilized a multi-channel approach to reach her target audience. She combined offline marketing tactics by mentioning her upcoming training in conversations and email signatures.

 On the online front, she ran paid ads targeted towards her ideal audience, utilized organic social media marketing, and leveraged her email list to invite her subscribers to the webinar.

By diversifying her marketing channels, she was able to maximize her reach and increase her webinar registrations.

The Power of Storytelling:
An essential aspect of any webinar is the ability to engage and connect with the audience. Stories captivate the audience's attention and make the content more relatable.

By sharing stories that align with her target audience's experiences and pain points, she was able to build a stronger connection and create a memorable webinar experience.

The Soft Pitch:
At the end of the webinar, it's important to make a clear call to action. Our accountant client recognized that selling doesn't have to be pushy or uncomfortable.

By focusing on the value she provides and how she can help her audience solve their problems, she made her pitch more compelling.

She offered a solution tailored to her audience's needs, such as booking a call to explore how she could help them further.

By aligning her offering with the educational content of the webinar, she effectively converted attendees into clients.

Scaling Your Webinar Strategy:
To continue growing her business, our accountant client focused on scaling her webinar strategy.
 
She explored different avenues to attract more people to her webinars, such as increasing organic social media promotion, attending networking events, and growing her email list.
 
By consistently expanding her reach and nurturing her audience, she was able to increase webinar registrations, conversions, and ultimately, her client base.

By defining her target audience, identifying their problems, and positioning herself as the solution, she was able to attract high-quality leads. 

Through engaging webinars and effective promotion, she converted those leads into clients. 

By continuously refining and scaling her strategy, she experienced significant growth in her business. Remember, marketing isn't about being pushy; it's about providing value and building meaningful connections. So take these lessons, apply them to your own business, and watch your success soar.

27 Jun 2024144: 7 Ways to Dominate as an Introverted Entrepreneur00:19:07
Have you ever wondered how you can attract new clients, even if you're an introvert? Socializing and interacting with people can be daunting for many, but it doesn't have to be an impossible hurdle for your business. 

As an introverted entrepreneur, in this episode, I share seven strategies to help introverts thrive in attracting new clients without the stress of constant socializing.

As you'll hear in this episode, being an introvert doesn't mean you have to constantly present yourself in person. 

One of the best ways to attract clients is by using online platforms. Introverts often thrive behind a screen, where they can thoughtfully compose their messages and engage with others at their own pace. Leveraging social media, websites, and email marketing can significantly expand your reach without stepping out of your comfort zone.

Create valuable content that showcases your expertise. This can be in blog posts, videos, podcasts, or any other medium you're comfortable with. By demonstrating your knowledge and skills, potential clients will be naturally drawn to you for your expertise, and this can happen without the need for constant direct interaction.

Introverts can indeed thrive in attracting new clients by leveraging these strategies. It's all about finding ways to align with your strengths and comfort. Embrace the digital age, focus on quality relationships, and let your expertise shine through various content channels. Remember, you don't have to shout from the rooftops to be heard — sometimes, the quiet and thoughtful approach is the most effective.

Hear all of my best tips in this episode!
