    Why you have to be great at marketing — Allan Dib

    Do you — like a lot of business owners — take a scatter-gun approach to marketing? And do your results reflect that? Allan Dib spent 10 years trying to work it all out himself, and came up with the 1-page marketing plan. He’s written an Amazon best-seller on it, changing the way more than a million businesses globally do marketing. Allan shares with me his insights on common marketing mistakes business owners make, especially the urge to appeal to everyone rather than focusing on a niche. In this episode we cover: Understand Your Audience: Narrow down your niche for a more impactful marketing strategy and to connect deeply with your audience. Target Your Market: Define and prioritise a specific audience to maximise your marketing impact and engagement. Be Consistent and Present: Show up consistently in your marketing channels to build trust and maintain audience engagement over time. Get Comfortable Selling: Embrace selling as essential to building your business, and present your offerings confidently to your audience. Outsource Low-Value Tasks: Delegate routine tasks to free up time for high-impact activities, boosting productivity and focus. Content Is Key: Share valuable, relevant content consistently to position yourself as a trusted expert in your field. Utilise Social Proof: Showcase testimonials and reviews to build credibility, attract new customers, and reinforce trust. Keep Learning and Improving: Stay updated with marketing trends and continuously refine your approach to stay competitive.

  3. The power of vision & purpose — Shannah Kennedy

    The power of vision & purpose — Shannah Kennedy

    Shannah Kennedy's journey as a life and business coach began 25 years ago after experiencing severe burnout while working in corporate sports. Her career at the time was her identity, and she had been deeply immersed in the high-paced world of elite sports, managing sponsorships and contracts. However, her health deteriorated due to overworking and a lack of self-care, ultimately leading to chronic fatigue syndrome. This forced her to reflect on her life, especially on her experiences with athletes who struggled with life transitions after their sports careers ended. She realised the importance of having a life plan beyond one's profession. Shannah then decided to become a life coach, initially perceived as an unconventional move. She started her own business from home, focusing on helping people, including athletes, plan for a balanced life and future. Her coaching now includes executive, life, and midlife coaching, emphasising long-term planning, self-awareness, and well-being. Key takeaways Balancing work with varied interests prevents burnout and maintains performance levels. Her coaching promotes long-term planning by aligning goals with values and experiences. Shannah views midlife as a chance for reinvention and new opportunities. She believes in working while prioritising health, hobbies, and meaningful experiences. Shannah markets herself through relationships and books, not paid advertising. Her coaching helps clients envision their future and achieve a purposeful life.

    Up-to-date best practices for content marketing — Moby Siddique

    I always thought quality is the bigger winner in the content marketing stakes, but it now even trumps technical SEO. Moby Siddique is a legend in the marketing content space. He’s the CEO of digital marketing and content agency RedPandas and has worked in the industry for close to 20 years. We discuss the best practices to digital content marketing, which he says includes the power of podcasting. He advocates a hub-and-spoke approach to podcasting - the podcast episode itself serves as the hub, and the spokes are the various pieces of content that can be created from that episode. Understand Your Audience's Needs: Always focus on who your content is for and what their pain points are. Tailoring your message to address these concerns makes your marketing more effective. TAKEAWAYS Balance Heart and Head Content. On platforms like LinkedIn, mix personal, relatable content (heart) with informative, expert content (head) to build both credibility and connection with your audience. Consistent Posting Schedule. Maintain a regular posting schedule on social media, aiming for at least three posts per week. Consistency helps in building a strong online presence and keeps your audience engaged. Quality Over Technical SEO. Prioritise creating high-quality content that addresses user queries and provides value. This approach is more effective than relying solely on technical SEO tactics. Leverage AI for Content Creation. Use AI tools like GPT to enhance content creation efficiency. While AI can assist in generating content, it's essential to personaliSe and refine the output to maintain authenticity and engagement.   MORE INFORMATION RedPandas Online Class Upgrade your AI Skills, Impress Your Boss, and Produce Leads & Revenue from AI-Generated Content. https://resources.redpandas.com.au/8-week-ai-content-revenue-masterclass Books Moby mentioned Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Hickman https://www.amazon.com.au/Traction-Get-Grip-Your-Business/dp/1936661837 They Ask, You Answer: A Revolutionary Approach to Inbound Sales, Content Marketing, and Today's Digital Consumer by Marcus Sheridan https://www.amazon.com.au/They-Ask-You-Answer-Revolutionary/dp/1119610141/ Chris Ashmore Media https://chrisashmore.media/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
