11:17

I know you think you know everything there is to know about LinkedIn, but trust me—there’s always more to learn. That’s exactly what I found when I chatted with Sam Swirsky, a LinkedIn coach and writer who’s helped some of the biggest content creators build hyper-engaged fan bases. He shared actionable advice on how small business owners can do more than just collect followers—they can cultivate real, engaged communities on the platform. Key Takeaways and Actionable Insights: Engagement is a Two-Way Street: Comment thoughtfully, respond to messages, and create posts that invite genuine discussions. Make your audience feel seen and valued—relationships build loyalty. Try This: Start or end your next post with a question that sparks conversation. Avoid Engagement Pods: They might give you vanity metrics, but they won’t build meaningful relationships or generate business results. Try This: Focus on interacting authentically with five new people every week. Go Live (Even if it Scares You): Whether live or pre-recorded, streams are a great way to showcase expertise and start meaningful conversations. Try This: Plan a 10-minute live session with 3 talking points. Invite a colleague or client to keep the conversation natural. Sharpen Your Profile: Be specific about who you help and the results you deliver. Try This: Review your profile headline—does it clearly state your offer? If not, rewrite it with a focus on outcomes. Consistency Beats Perfection: Showing up regularly builds trust. Aim for good, not flawless. Try This: Commit to posting at least once a week, even if it's a simple post sharing a lesson learned or industry tip. Whether you're fine-tuning your profile or experimenting with live streams, the key is showing up as your authentic self and focusing on meaningful connections. Those relationships are the foundation for real growth on LinkedIn.

#1132 Leave Them Wanting More | Janice Porter | 11:57

5 giorni fa11:57

In every sales conversation, there comes that moment when you're so excited about what you do, you want to share everything you know. But that is often a mistake, as Janice Porter, a LinkedIn trainer and relationship marketing strategist explained in our conversation, for the What Went Wrong Series Janice found herself giving away premium insights during free webinars and initial consultations. Like many of us who started as educators, her natural instinct to teach was getting in the way of building a sustainable business. During our conversation, Janice shared her journey of learning to balance generosity with strategy, walking the fine line between offering value and undervaluing your own work. Here are the key takeaways from our discussion: Stop Giving Away the Store - The key is to give enough value to demonstrate expertise while leaving room for clients to want more. Finding Balance in Presentations - Instead of solving every problem upfront, focus on sparking curiosity. Let potential clients see what you can do without showing them how to do it all themselves. Master the Art of Listening - Whether you’re pitching a product or networking, ask thoughtful questions and tailor your responses to what the other person truly needs. It’s not about overwhelming them with information but finding the right “hook” to keep them engaged. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for the Sale - Set expectations early in a conversation, like letting prospects know you’ll be discussing next steps, makes that final question feel natural instead of pushy. Actionable Takeaway If you find yourself “giving away the store,” step back and evaluate how much value you’re offering in your initial interactions. Practice holding back just enough to leave clients curious, and don’t shy away from asking for the sale. Balance teaching with selling, and you’ll see your efforts turn into results.

#1131 ChatGPT : Your Marketing Sidekick | Steven Lewis 12:55

8 giorni fa12:55

12:55

If you’ve been playing around with ChatGPT to write a few social posts or even draft a blog, congratulations—you’re off to a good start. But let’s be honest, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In this conversation with Stephen Lewis, a seasoned marketer and head of Sydney-based agency Tailist, we explore how to make ChatGPT your marketing partner rather than just a copy assistant. With insights drawn from years of experimenting with AI tools, Stephen shares practical advice on turning ChatGPT into a research powerhouse, a strategic consultant, and a creative collaborator for your business. Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation: ChatGPT as a Research Tool: Most people think ChatGPT just mimics human writing, but it's also a brilliant research assistant. Since it has "read" countless blog posts, forums, and articles, it can provide deep insights into audience preferences, fears, and motivations that people might not even admit in a traditional interview. Ask Better Questions: If you want valuable answers, start asking ChatGPT more thoughtful questions. For example, don't just ask why your target audience might want to buy your product—ask about the reasons they wouldn't admit to their friends or the hidden objections holding them back. Turn ChatGPT into a Consultant: Instead of treating ChatGPT like a task-driven assistant, let it ask you questions. Stephen emphasizes how this two-way conversation can reveal what's missing in your messaging and strengthen your overall marketing strategy. Synthetic Data for Customer Personas: ChatGPT can simulate interviews with your ideal customers, offering insights that are surprisingly comparable to real-life focus groups. This synthetic data can help you craft more accurate and compelling customer personas. It's a Partnership: AI isn’t magic—it’s a partnership. To get the most out of ChatGPT, you need to know what to ask and be ready to collaborate actively. Stephen describes this approach as "working in partnership" with the tool rather than expecting it to hand over all the answers effortlessly. Ready to take your AI game up a notch? Stephen even offers a resource called the "Clarity Engine" to help business owners solve their biggest marketing problems with ChatGPT’s help. It’s a great next step if you’re eager to see just how much more this tool can do for your business.…

#1130 - Get to the Inbox | MV Braverman 12:59

E-mail marketing has changed, and so must your approach if you want to reach your audience in 2025. I chatted with MV Braverman, founder of Inbox Welcome, to talk about e-mail deliverability—a topic often overlooked but absolutely essential. While we all obsess over catchy subject lines and beautiful designs, none of that matters if your e-mails never make it to the inbox. MV shared practical advice to help you understand deliverability and improve your results. Here are a few of the key takeaways: Authentication is Non-Negotiable To combat spam, providers like Google and Yahoo now require senders to authenticate their e-mails. Tools like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC ensure your e-mails are verified and trustworthy. But here’s the catch: while platforms like MailChimp can help you authenticate campaign emails, that’s only part of the puzzle. MV recommends a comprehensive setup covering all your email streams—like invoices, auto-responders, and proposals. Reporting Matters DMARC doesn’t just verify your emails—it also provides detailed reports about where your emails are landing (inbox vs. spam) and how they’re being perceived by providers like Microsoft. These insights are invaluable for spotting problems early. Focus on the Reader’s Experience Your emails should be accessible, mobile-friendly, and readable in both light and dark modes. MV pointed out that ignoring dark mode—a preference for up to one-third of email users—can make your emails nearly impossible to read. Don’t Rely Solely on Images While image-only emails may look appealing, they’re a disaster for accessibility. Many readers (including me!) block images by default, and with AI tools summarizing content, text is more important than ever. Always include descriptive, clear text in your emails. What You Can Do: Review your email authentication settings across all platforms, not just your email marketing tool, to ensure full coverage. Download MV’s DMARC guide to learn how to set up reporting and spot deliverability issues before they become major problems. Email marketing isn’t just about what you say—it’s about making sure people actually receive it.…

#1129 When Marketing Stars Stumble: Lessons from Vince Warnock 12:33

12 giorni fa12:33

12:33

I sat down for a conversation with Vince Warnock, an 11-time bestselling author and one of Adobe's top 25 marketers in the world. But what made our chat truly special wasn't his impressive credentials - it was his willingness to share his biggest mistakes and what he learned from them. Main takeaways from our conversation: 1. Even accomplished professionals battle imposter syndrome. Vince shared how he sabotaged his first book launch by canceling major media interviews with Forbes and Entrepreneur because that inner voice kept telling him he wasn't good enough. The lesson? Those feelings are normal - even Seth Godin and other marketing giants experience them. 2. The key to managing self-doubt isn't eliminating it - it's building a support network. Vince learned to surround himself with people who understand these challenges and can step in before self-sabotage takes hold. As he put it, "Imposter syndrome isn't bad. What's bad is what you choose to do with that information." 3. Lead magnets need strategic alignment. Vince attracted 30-40,000 signups with a free marketing tools guide, but these leads weren't interested in his actual services. He transformed his approach by creating content that guides potential clients through their journey - from choosing what book to write, to learning how to write it, to getting help with the writing process. The big lesson here? Success isn't about avoiding mistakes - it's about learning from them and building systems to handle challenges better next time. Whether it's imposter syndrome or marketing missteps, the path forward is through honest self-reflection and smart adjustments to your approach. Actionable Takeaways: - Before your next big launch or project, identify 2-3 trusted mentors who can support you when self-doubt creeps in - Review your lead magnets: Do they attract people who want what you actually sell? - Create a clear path from your free content to your paid offerings - When collecting information from prospects, only ask for what you truly need right now - Build your marketing funnel around solving your customers' real barriers and challenges at each step Looking for more conversations and ideas for your small business?

#1128 Podcasts, Pitches, and Perfect Guests - Land (and Nail) Your Next Interview | Angel Tuccy 11:34

15 giorni fa11:34

11:34

I love podcasts! As a host and a guest, I’ve seen firsthand how they spark connections, showcase expertise, and open doors to new opportunities. But being a podcast guest isn’t just about showing up—it’s about building relationships, adding value, and promoting your appearance long after the recording ends. That’s why I was so excited to chat with Angel Tuccy, who knows the podcasting world inside and out. With 15 bestselling books and a knack for connecting hosts and guests through her Need a Guest Facebook community, Angel shared some practical, no-nonsense advice on how to make the most of podcast guesting as a marketing strategy. Key Points from the Conversation: Quality Over Quantity in Podcast Pitches: Instead of cold-emailing dozens of podcast hosts, focus on building genuine relationships. Engage with hosts by listening to their shows, sharing their content, and interacting meaningfully before pitching yourself as a guest. Promote Your Appearances: Don’t let your podcast interviews fade into obscurity. Angel suggests creating a Google spreadsheet to track your appearances and repurposing the content through blog posts, social media, and email campaigns to keep the buzz alive long after the episode airs. Be Relatable and Authentic: Great podcast conversations aren’t perfectly polished—they’re human. Be ready for unscripted moments, embrace the quirks of live dialogue, and let your personality shine through. Add Value to the Audience: Whether it’s sharing actionable insights or telling stories that resonate, focus on providing meaningful content that helps listeners. This builds trust and encourages them to follow both you and the podcast host. Leverage Communities Like Need a Guest: Joining networks where podcast hosts actively seek guests can dramatically improve your booking rate. Being part of a vetted community often leads to more natural connections and opportunities. Your Next Steps: Build a database of your podcast appearances to reuse content creatively across platforms. Prioritize meaningful connections with podcast hosts rather than sending generic pitches. Promote your interviews through posts, emails, and even bundled articles on related topics. Let go of perfection during interviews—authenticity wins over a polished script every time. Explore communities like Need a Guest to streamline your efforts and connect with hosts.

Consistency, Community, and Credibility There’s this common myth that as a business owner, you’ve got to do it all. LinkedIn can feel overwhelming, but today, Nina Froriep debunked that myth and showed us how to simplify and thrive on the platform. Her approach is a breath of fresh air—practical, doable, and built for business owners who’d rather spend time serving clients than battling algorithms. Key Takeaways: Consistency Beats Frequency: Posting once a week at the same time and day yields better results than flooding the platform randomly. Think of it as training both the algorithm and your audience—regularity builds recognition. Engagement Builds Credibility: Your LinkedIn feed is a virtual business card. Posts with thoughtful comments and genuine engagement show potential clients and collaborators that you’re active and respected in your field. Small Groups, Big Impact: Nina’s LinkedIn engagement group thrives because members prioritize reciprocity and accountability. They comment on each other’s posts within an hour, creating authentic connections and visibility. Invest in the Process: Paid groups tend to see higher participation. People value what they pay for, and Nina’s group offers more than just engagement—it’s a supportive community with resources and learning opportunities. Actionable Next Steps: Start by posting once a week consistently. Choose a day and time that works for you. Build a small, engaged network of LinkedIn connections who genuinely support each other’s content. Prioritize quality over quantity—focus on meaningful interactions, not just likes.

You know that sinking feeling when you realize you’ve been ignoring great advice or giving up on something that actually worked? We’ve all been there, myself included. That’s why I loved this conversation with Matt Nettleton. As my most frequent podcast guest, Matt brought his signature blend of insight and candor to our “What Went Wrong?” series. Together, we revisited the missteps that taught us valuable lessons—like ditching a successful accountability group, setting goals that feel more like a prison sentence than a roadmap, and stubbornly resisting good advice. If you’ve ever tripped over your own decisions, this one’s for you. Actionable Takeaways Stick With What Works: If a process, group, or habit is driving success, don’t abandon it just because things are going smoothly. Consistency beats complacency. Shrink Your Timeframe: Break those massive annual goals into manageable chunks. Try a “12-week year” approach to stay motivated, track progress, and pivot as needed. Listen to Advice (Even When It’s Hard): Pay attention to the advice of trusted colleagues and mentors—and maybe your spouse, too. The sooner you act on good suggestions, the faster you’ll see results. Celebrate and Course-Correct: Mark your milestones, reassess your direction, and give yourself permission to change the plan if it’s no longer serving you.

#1125 Goals Make a Plan Real | Small Business Tips 3:29

When I was Vice President of Creative Services at Conseco, we were always out of literature for key products. In the insurance business literature is all you have to sell, so these outages would cripple our sales team. Out out of stock list was routinely close to 300 different items and climbing. While we had numerous meetings on the subject nothing ever changed. So I stopped talking about procedures and policy and asked a simple question "If our goal was a back order level of 100 what would we do?" Defining a specific target, instead of vague "get better" gave a focus to our discussions. Every day we knew exactly how far we were from our target. As an added incentive, I offered to take the print team to any restaurant in town if we reduced our back orders to 100 by September. 1. The date gave us the sense of urgency we needed to keep this in the forefront of our discussions. We kicked off every production meeting with a brief conversation about the back-order list and the ideas started flowing. We instituted a "red flag" for any project associated with back order items. Every team, editors, designers, writers and account executives agreed if a red tag landed on their desk it was their first priority. Slowly the numbers started to improve; We posted the daily results on the way so we could see our progress in real time. . On September 1, we went to lunch at Cafe Nora. There are several important lessons for small business owners in this story: Define your goals, with a specific time line If you are serious create and follow an action plan Track your progress Involve others, do not assume you can do it on your own. We would never have succeeded with out the support of the printer, inventory team, and other managers.…

#1124 Let's Play a Game | Rob Alvarez 12:18

I love games. Whether it’s playing cards with family, a quick round of trivia, or even the occasional video game, there’s something so engaging about the world of play. But I’ve never really thought about applying the principles of games to business—until I spoke with Rob Alvarez of Professor Game. Gamification, as Rob explains it, is about using elements of play to motivate action and achieve goals, and it’s not just for big companies. From language apps to skincare quizzes, the possibilities are endless. Gamification Defined: At its core, gamification uses elements of play and game design to achieve goals that would otherwise be difficult to reach. It’s not just about entertainment; it’s about motivating people toward meaningful actions. Two Approaches to Gamification: Rob shared examples of gamification in action: Duolingo: This language-learning app gamifies the process with streaks, leaderboards, and rewards, encouraging daily engagement in small increments rather than overwhelming sessions. Skin Care Quiz: A simple questionnaire that mimics personality quizzes (e.g., “Which Disney princess are you?”) to recommend tailored skincare routines, combining fun with practical marketing. The Player-Centric Perspective: Effective gamification starts by understanding what motivates your audience—what excites and moves them to action. Viewing your audience as "players" or protagonists can shift the way you design experiences and tailor your strategies. Psychological Strategies: Small changes can have a significant impact. For example, LinkedIn’s progress bar motivates users to complete their profiles step by step, illustrating how even simple features can enhance engagement. Designing for Connection: Gamification can foster community and social interaction. Whether it’s forming teams in Fortnite or creating shared experiences at a gym or salon, the sense of connection can be a powerful motivator.

#1123 Organic + Ads = Marketing Magic | Alex Thoric 11:18

24 giorni fa11:18

11:18

Good marketing isn’t all one thing or another. It’s really about creating a hybrid approach, pulling together the best elements of different strategies to move your brand forward. In today’s episode, I spoke with Alex Thoric, a seasoned digital marketer and entrepreneur, about how combining organic content and paid advertising can create a winning formula. Our conversation reaffirmed something I’ve believed for a long time: successful marketing isn’t just about tools and tactics; it’s about understanding people—how they think, what they trust, and how they engage. Here are the key points from our conversation: Trust Takes Time and Touchpoints Alex shared a fascinating framework: on average, it takes 7 hours of content, 11 interactions, and 4 different channels for a potential customer to trust your brand enough to make a purchase. This means marketers need to think long-term, building relationships over time rather than chasing quick wins. Short Content for Quick Wins, Long Content for Loyalty Short-form content, like Instagram Reels and TikToks, captures attention quickly and builds initial interest. Longer-form videos, though, are where deep engagement happens. Alex found that people who stick around for 5- or 10-minute videos are much more likely to convert into loyal customers. Boost Organic Content with Paid Ads Organic content is essential, but it’s a guessing game in terms of reach. Adding ad spend to your best-performing posts ensures your message gets in front of the right audience, giving you more control and consistency. Plus, combining the two helps address today’s trust issues by showing up repeatedly for potential customers in authentic and helpful ways. Hooks Are Everything The first 3–5 seconds of any video are critical. Whether it’s a surprising visual, a bold question, or simply calling out your audience, grabbing attention early ensures your content has a fighting chance. Retarget Strategically Retargeting works best when it feels personal. For example, Alex suggested calling out the viewer directly with messages like, “Looks like you enjoyed our content—here’s something else you might love.” This approach makes your ads feel like an extension of your content rather than just another pitch. Actionable Takeaways: Think beyond the immediate click or sale—build relationships with consistent, trustworthy content across multiple platforms. Experiment with both short and long-form videos to see what resonates with your audience. Use paid ads strategically to amplify your organic efforts and build trust faster. Always start your videos with a compelling hook—attention spans are shorter than ever. Make retargeting personal and helpful, not pushy. Hybrid marketing isn’t just a strategy; it’s a mindset. It’s about meeting your audience where they are and guiding them step by step.

Failure can feel like a four-letter word for entrepreneurs, but it doesn’t have to be. It can also be an opportunity to learn and grow, but let's face it failure is painful, so sometimes it is nice to learn from other people's mistakes. That's why I decided to launch the What Went Wrong series, I wanted to create a space for honest conversations about missteps and miscalculations—and the incredible lessons they teach us. For the first episode, I invited Emily Aborn, a copywriter, speaker, and podcast host, to share her entrepreneurial journey. From opening a non-toxic mattress store to building a successful women’s entrepreneurship community before finding her true calling, Emily’s experiences are a masterclass in learning to pivot, listen to your gut, and embrace the opportunities hiding in what might feel like a dead end. Key Points from the Conversation Follow Your Passion, Not Someone Else’s Path: Emily’s entrepreneurial journey began in health education but veered into unexpected territory when she ignored her instincts and tried to conform to others’ expectations. Her advice? Be honest about what excites you—and what doesn’t. Mistakes Are a Roadmap: Whether it was running a retail mattress store or managing a large entrepreneurial community, Emily’s ventures taught her valuable lessons about boundaries, focus, and what she truly loves to do. Pivot When It’s Not Working: Closing her store wasn’t a failure—it was a realization that led Emily to rediscover her passion for writing and helping others with their messaging. She emphasizes the importance of assessing what’s working and what isn’t before moving forward. Test the Waters First: Before diving headfirst into a new business idea, gain hands-on experience. Emily credits working in a mattress store for showing her the potential—and pitfalls—of the retail world. Create a Business That Aligns With You: Emily encourages entrepreneurs to design businesses that reflect their strengths and preferences, rather than forcing themselves into roles they dislike. Actionable Takeaways Assess Your Strengths and Interests: Take the time to understand what you love and what drains you before launching a business. Learn from Others: Work in a similar business or shadow an expert to understand the industry’s day-to-day realities. Embrace Mistakes: Look for lessons in every misstep. Each failure is an opportunity to refine your approach. Be Willing to Pivot: If something isn’t working, don’t be afraid to change course. Closing one door often opens another. Trust Your Gut: Listen to your instincts when making big decisions, even if they lead you away from the original plan. Entrepreneurship isn’t about avoiding mistakes—it’s about learning from them. Emily’s journey proves that even when things go sideways, there’s always a way forward.

Stand Out by Finding Your Unique Flavor How often have you been told that the first step to creating marketing is getting crystal clear on your customer. Who are they? What do they need? That's just the starting point. The real magic happens when you figure out how to be different. And I'm not talking about different for the sake of being different. I'm talking about leaning into what makes you unique. It's like choosing what kind of apple you want to be. If you just say you're an "apple" in general, you'll get lost in the crowd. But if you decide, "You know what? I'm going to be a Honeycrisp" - now you're really getting somewhere. Because the pears and oranges of the world can't compete with your Honeycrisp flavor. You've carved out your own niche, and you're owning it. The same goes for your business. When you get clear on what makes you special - your origin story, your values, your signature process - that's when the magic starts to happen. Sure, it might mean turning away some customers along the way. But you can't be everything to everyone. And the funny thing is, when you stop trying to blend in and instead lean into your unique flavor, that's when the perfect-fit clients start to find you. They're drawn to your authenticity, your confidence, your refusal to be like everyone else. And there's nothing more powerful than working with people who truly "get" you. So, the next time you're tempted to play it safe, ask yourself - what makes me different? Because that's where the real magic lies.

#1120 Avoiding Burnout with Rob Tracz 10:20

29 giorni fa10:20

10:20

If you’re like me, you’ve probably found yourself working so hard on your business that burnout feels inevitable. That’s why I was excited to talk with Rob Tracz, a performance coach who helps entrepreneurs transition from burnout to breakthrough. With his holistic Prime Performance Coaching framework, Rob tackles the physical, mental, and emotional hurdles entrepreneurs face. Together, we unpacked strategies for navigating burnout, building resilience, and sustaining success. 3 Key Insights from the Conversation Avoiding Burnout Starts with Awareness Rob shared that the first step in overcoming burnout is recognizing where you are on your journey. Reflect on the stressors you’ve been managing, how long you’ve been juggling them, and how much longer you can keep going. Setting clear deadlines can create a mental finish line, helping you endure challenges more effectively. As Rob reminded me, you’ve survived 100% of your tough moments so far—you’re stronger than you think. The Team Triangle: Your Built-In Support System Rob’s "Team Triangle" framework is a game-changer. At the top, you have your coach—a mentor to guide and inspire you. In the middle, there are captains—peers who collaborate and keep you moving forward. At the base is your crowd—cheerleaders who provide motivation and encouragement. Each plays a unique role, and knowing who to lean on and when can make all the difference. Slowing Down to Break Through When life feels overwhelming, Rob advocates for slowing things down and focusing on what’s essential. Prioritize the tasks that matter most and set your own timelines to regain control. This approach not only prevents burnout but ensures you’re working smarter, not harder. His mantra? Don’t let timelines dictate your life—take control and build your business on your terms. Actionable Takeaways Set Clear Deadlines: Whether it’s a short-term goal or a break in sight, having an endpoint can give you the stamina to keep going. Identify Your Team: Lean on your coach, captains, and crowd for guidance, collaboration, and encouragement. Prioritize and Simplify: Focus on one or two tasks that move the needle, and don’t hesitate to delegate when needed. Invest in Yourself: Rob’s “looking good, feeling good, doing great things” philosophy reminds us to prioritize physical and emotional well-being. Fuel your body with nutritious food and your mind with uplifting media to stay strong and focused. Rob’s insights are a reminder that success isn’t about grinding endlessly—it’s about creating a sustainable path forward.
