    By the end of this episode you're gonna have a quick 10-minute exercise that you can perform every single week.

    And every time you perform this exercise you are going to come up with more short form video topics than you can possible publish.

    Can your business exist without social media? My minimalist approach.

    There's a social media trend that says you need to show up everywhere online for the sake of getting more people to take a look at you & follow you...

    ...all in the hope that if you post all the time, you’ll grow a big audience and some of those people will decide to buy from you… 
    “someday”
    In this episode I'm sharing my minimalist approach to growing your personal brand online. 

    I call this the un-influencer route. 

    And while it’s the polar opposite of being an influencer, it is all about having genuine influence. 
    Here’s my take: 
    If you want to impress people, make things complicated. 
    But, if you want to help them, keep it simple.
    I help my clients do three things:
    Become the familiar face to the people you want to reach.Show how you can help them by actually helping them Offer your program or service.In this episode I’ve broken down this strategy in detail – and show you how simple it can be :))
    Want to put this strategy into action?

    Steady growth without spending a fortune on ads with Danny Young

    Steady growth without spending a fortune on ads with Danny Young

    One of the biggest challenges facing every service business, whether you're a consultant, a coach or an online course creator, is maintaining a steady stream of new clients.

    Typically you'll experience a great month with lots of new business.

    Then you and your team will buckle down and get busy doing great work for your clients.

    But, as that work comes to a close... your pipeline for attracting new clients looks all dry and dusty from neglect. 😱

    And you end up going through a long, dry period of scrambling and stress - not knowing where the next client will come from.

    What if there was a way for you to invest a modest amount of your marketing budget into an automated system that can run in the background that would provide you with a consistent flow of right-fit clients?

    And, if set up properly, would have people coming to you who know they're a perfect fit for your offer?

    Building Trust in a Digital World with Brad Powell

    Building Trust in a Digital World with Brad Powell

    Breaking through the noise of a content-saturated online space isn't just about being different—it's about being real. 

    A couple of weeks ago I hosted a masterclass that was addressing what I think is the biggest online dilemma of our times:
    Everyone is publishing content online...but very few are actually showing up authentically...
    So, this week I'm sharing the replay from that masterclass where I went in depth on how to show up as yourself and how you can stand out in a crowded market by bringing more personality into your marketing.

    Takeaways:
    It's not just about being seen—it's about being seen for who you truly are, and understanding the profound impact that can have on your business relationships.How you can outshine the biggest brands by offering a touch of humanity. The undeniable power of video content in building trust and creating an intimate bond with your tribe. How solopreneurs can wield this tool to carve out their unique space, even in markets crowded with giants.Whether you're looking to inspire, engage, or grow your audience, this episode is your blueprint for forging genuine connections in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

    Cut short the sales cycle with short-form video

    Cut short the sales cycle with short-form video

    When you have a service business it's just not as easy to sell your offer.
    People want to know a lot more more about you.
    They want to know who they'll be working with.

    In order to buy, they need to feel like they want to spend time with you.

    So, you need to show them who you are as much as you need to tell them about your offer.

    You need to create a nurturing experience that helps them get to know you
    so they'll feel like they're a good fit for your offer.

    But, here's the golden nugget:
    you can have a shorter nurturing experience 
    IF they feel like they already know you and trust you
    by the time you're actually making your offer. 
    And the easiest way to do that is through video.

    So, today I'm sharing a feed drop from Sarah Noel Block's podcast, The Tiny Marketing Show, where she interviewed me all about how to use short form video to build relationships with your followers.

    We talked about how your nurturing experience with your followers can be a lot shorter because it's such a personal experience when you're watching a video
    People see your personality.
    You're building trust - because they see what you know, how you think & how you see the world.
    And your teaching them how to solve their problem through your short-form videos
    You can really reduce your sales cycle because you're quickly answering the questions in their minds like:
    "Do I want to hang out with this person??""Do I believe that I'm going to get what they say I'm going to get?"Because - they've already proven that to themselves - after watching your videos.

Selling the Invisible is a Great Episode

It is true how hard it is to speak about ourselves and define the intangibles as a service providers. Defining the shift and change that coaches offer their clients can be challenging.
