The only podcast that admits marketing is F@$!ing hard and makes it suck less for solo business owners who are juggling client delivery and sales on top of all those marketing tasks.

I'm your host, Dr. Michelle Mazur, the author of the 3 Word Rebellion and founder of The Expert Up Club. Unlike most marketing podcasts that share the latest marketing fads that promise “Viral Internet Fame,” I know you don’t need any of that BS to run a thriving business.

Each week, I share unconventional strategies and ideas grounded in research, not opinion, that help you clarify your message and become way more effective with your marketing.

While I can't promise you'll ever love marketing, I can promise you’ll hate it a tiny bit less.

    How Messaging Wins When Life Sucks with Nicole Trick-Steinbach

    How Messaging Wins When Life Sucks with Nicole Trick-Steinbach

    “I know that I'm extraordinary at what I do. And because I have messaging, because I have my packages, because I have my pricing, I can keep moving forward in confidence in one area of my life”.

    There comes a time when the shit hits the fan in your life and you just can't keep showing up the way you like. 

    The first thing that always goes is marketing.

    Let's face it. Most of us don't have the option of just stopping marketing altogether.

    We can't put our businesses on hold because we need it to pay our own bills. 

    So how do you keep going? 

    When marketing already sucks for you, how do you keep going when your personal life has gone off the rails?
    I am thrilled to have Expert Up Club member, Nicole Trick Steinbach, on the show today to talk about how she made marketing suck less even when the proverbial shit hit the fan in her personal life.

    Funnels Suck: What This Coach Did Instead To Market Her Business With Rachel Alexandria

    Funnels Suck: What This Coach Did Instead To Market Her Business With Rachel Alexandria

    “I used to always think - I have all these great ideas and I make these products, like, you know, digital-based products. And if only I had the money that I could actually hire a team and build the thing out and then actually pay money for advertising, I just know it would hit.”

    If you just build the right funnel, have the right welcome sequence, and the right lead magnet, you can put money into ads and people will come out and wanna work with you. 

    And this seems like the absolutely best way to make marketing suck less. 

    But is it? 

    I am so excited to have Rachel Alexandria on the show today. Rachel is one of the founding members of the Expert Up Club, and she's here to talk about her experience building a funnel. What worked, what didn't, and how she is making her marketing suck less now

    Practitioner vs. Marketer: A Journey To Making Marketing Suck Less with Elise Enriquez

    Practitioner vs. Marketer: A Journey To Making Marketing Suck Less with Elise Enriquez

    “It was such a detour to go the whole social media, build a course, webinars, free webinars, pitch, cart closed route.  The whole thing was such a detour for me. It seriously tanked my business.”

    So many business owners have gone down this path only to realize, “Hey. This isn't for me!” 
    With all the hype around “stop trading dollars for hours” and make money while you sleep, there was something she was NOT being told. 
    Choosing to create a course meant that Elise Enriquez, productivity coach, had to give up doing something she loved (working with clients) for something that sucked (marketing).

    You'll want to hear Elise's story about how she recovered from making this strategic misstep and how she's adjusted course and, finally, what she's letting go of in her marketing to make it easier for her and make it more effective.
