Reflections on my favorite webinar method -- "free to attend, paid replay" 04.10.2021

454 signups -- 7x one of my average paid classes 75% attendance! Usually free webinars get around 25% attendance from signups. 77% of attendees filled out the feedback form to receive the free recording. 6% conversion (from total signups) to the paid version of the webinar, though I didn't know what to expect / wasn't counting on the sales. If you're interested in buying the webinar, it's availabl...

Should you do market research, or just launch a product boldly with your own passion? 30.09.2021

People often bring up the story of how Steve Jobs launched the iPod as an innovative product that the world didn't know it couldn't live without, as "evidence" that we should just launch things we *believe* the market would love. Or they use the quote from Henry Ford, and I paraphrase here: "If I had asked what people wanted, they would've told me 'faster horses' instead of 'car' which they didn't...

Find higher meaning in each moment of work -- growth and joy 27.09.2021

Perhaps the truest meaning of this moment is not whether you get “good” results… or whether you’ll have it easy… or whether you’ll look good. What the deeper meaning is, will depend on your life philosophy. There are multiple good answers. How would you respond to this question: “What is the higher meaning of each moment, that is more important than what’s apparent on the surface?” ** Watch video...

Why I don't recommend automated posting on Social Media 16.09.2021

Should you use a tool that automates your social media, such as Buffer, Hootsuite, etc? I’ve tried Buffer and Hootsuite, and have seen them used by some clients and colleagues. I use none of them now, and caution my clients away from such tools, especially when posting to Facebook. This episode describes why.

It's good to repeat yourself -- repost your best old content again and again 30.08.2021

Not only should you not be afraid to repeat yourself, you should consider doing it regularly. Have a consistent rhythm of reposting your popular articles, videos, or podcast episodes. Feel free to repeat the same ideas you’ve said before, whether in the same way or in a different way. This may give you some relief that you don’t have to constantly create new content forever (although, it is good f...

You can change your life -- by consciously modifying the systems underneath (here are some examples) 26.08.2021

Your life is actually working perfectly. And your business? It’s exactly where it’s supposed to be. It’s not that you love all the results. However, anything and everything occurring in your life has a system behind it. There’s cause and effect. You experience the effects… and you have more choice in the cause than you realize.

There's no need to overcome objections in your marketing -- learn to sell and launch gently 23.08.2021

One of the common pieces of advice in selling and copywriting is that you need to “overcome the objections” of your prospective client.

Let’s take a step back and consider this first: what kind of person would you rather sell to -- someone who has doubts and...
