Doing It Online : The Doable Online Marketing Podcast Kate McKibbin

I love webinars. They're still one of my favourite ways to convert online, but let's face it – people's consumption habits are changing. I have seen so many business owners struggling recently with very low attendance rates, dismal consumption rates on their webinars and they’re starting to wonder whether webinars are dead.
Well before you throw the whole strategy out, I’ve got three simple tweaks that can help your webinars convert for the sophisticated 2024 consumer. 
Audio on the Go: Your New Secret Weapon
Repurpose your webinar as an audio recording, basically a podcast episode. This lets folks consume your content while they're commuting, exercising, or tackling chores.
Snackable Content: Bite-Sized Knowledge Bombs
Let's be honest, attention spans are shrinking faster than a free sample table at Woolies. Instead of one long webinar, why not break it down into bite-sized, 10-minute modules? Think of them as "snackable content" – easy to digest and perfect for busy schedules. 
The Mini-Webinar: Your Warm-Up Act
Imagine a supercharged version of your webinar, condensed into a power-packed 10 minutes. This "mini-webinar" is a game-changer for warm audiences – people who already know you and trust your expertise. Use it to pique their interest and nudge them towards the next step, whether it's applying for your program or booking a sales call. 
Remember, by staying adaptable and meeting your audience where they're at, you can keep your webinars converting like crazy in 2024 and beyond. Just like anything in business, our customers needs change and it’s up to us to adapt. Just because a long webinar used to work, doesn’t mean it always will. If you’re willing to shake things up, you’ll see your conversion rate increase.

In today's episode, we're diving into a showdown between two checkout platforms: Thrivecart and Samcart. With experience using both extensively, I've broken down their comparison into key categories to help you make an informed decision.
Pricing:
Samcart offers multiple price options, with the $149/month tier being the most common.
Thrivecart, on the other hand, requires a one-time payment of around $500 for lifetime access, so it’s  the more cost-effective option.
Stability:
Thrivecart has a history of stability issues, prompting my switch to Samcart, which guarantees a 99.9% uptime.
Support:
Samcart shines in support, offering better communication and even a paid option for priority support.
Courseware:
While both platforms offer courseware, Thrivecart emerges as the easier-to-use and aesthetically pleasing option.
Design:
Thrivecart's checkout designs are visually appealing but come with stability concerns.
Order Bump Design:
Thrivecart offers a more user-friendly experience for creating order bumps, though limited to one per transaction.
Samcart allows for multiple order bumps, albeit with more manual adjustments required.
Affiliates:
Thrivecart's all-inclusive pricing surpasses Samcart's tiered structure, particularly in affiliate management.
Upsell Tracks:
Samcart's unique feature of creating different upsell tracks based on purchase price puts it ahead of Thrivecart.
Reporting:
While Thrivecart offers clearer funnel breakdowns, Samcart provides a more comprehensive overview of individual product sales.
Final Decision:
After careful evaluation, Samcart emerges as the preferred choice due to its stability and support. However, the right choice between the two depends on individual business needs and preferences.
Tune in to understand the nuances of each platform and make the best decision aligned with your business goals.

Have you seen the abundance of Instagram posts asking you to DM a specific word to receive a freebie?
I’m sure you have! It’s been a hugely popular strategy in recent months and has brought success for a lot of people. How exactly does something so simple create success and profit in your business?
That’s what we’re exploring in today’s episode! I’ll take you through my Instagram funnel and the steps I use to maximise its impact.  
Phase One: Engagement: The first phase of a social media funnel is where you engage with your audience and ask them to DM you a specific word or phrase for a freebie.  Then an automated tool like ManyChat, responds to them and gives them the product, all without you lifting a finger!
Phase Two: Qualification: A bit of time after they received whatever they opted in for, you should check back in to tell them about another offer that could benefit them. If they’re interested, ask a qualifying question to help you determine which of your products is best suited to them. 
Phase Three: Connect and Convert: The final phase of the social media funnel focuses on connecting with users on a deeper level and guiding them toward conversion. I don’t mean pretending they aren’t talking with a bot; I mean adding personal touches to the automation that helps people connect with you. 
 
What happens next is going to differ for every business and every offer. Maybe some people get sent to a low-ticket offer, another group gets a discount code to access a program, and another group gets invited to book a call with you. Wherever they end up, phase two & three will significantly boost your chances of converting to a sale.
Enjoy!
