Your Mind-Set is Ruining Your Marketing

You don’t need to be doing more marketing. You just need to fix the marketing you have right now. Okay, that’s a bit of a hyperbole. We could all stand to be doing more marketing. But what’s stopping the average business owner from getting results from their marketing is not the volume. It’s the message. […]

SELL YOUR STORY

The core to any business is selling things. That much is obvious. And when you’re a service company, you’ve got to sell yourself. Or, at least, sell a story about yourself. “Hi! Do you have X problem? Then we have X solutions!” Solving for X is the hard part. Finding a story, an identity, that […]

SPOOKY SCARY GENIUSES

Webinars are a strategy that I have seen work for coaches, speakers, and seminar leaders time and time again. And, like everything else, you don’t need to do them perfectly the first time around.

That storytelling is something that we can become a part of, if we choose to be, as marketers. We have the opportunity to build a sense of culture and a […]

A Funnel Is Not A Machine

But you don’t need to know what they all are before you start building the machine. You don’t need to know what your content marketing system looks like to build […]

Spending Time on Facebook is Your Job

If you want to grow your business, you need to be spending more time scrolling through your Facebook Newsfeed. And before you ask, yes, I have seen those TEDx talks with the professor types preaching that social media is rotting our brains and crafting us into twitchy, focus-deprived balls of neuroses.
