    EP 374 | Pinned posts and Many Chat

    EP 374 | Pinned posts and Many Chat

    If you want to sell something in your business every single day, this episode of the 6-Figure Secrets Podcast is for you! I recently found a new Instagram strategy as a result of another strategy failure.

    I was listening to a podcast from Amy Porterfield in which she interviewed Nicole Burke from @gardenaryco. Nicole shared her Instagram strategy of posting three times a day and the results she was seeing from this work.

    I wanted to try something new to see if I could increase engagement and see a more direct ROI from my Instagram. I challenged myself to try this strategy for a month and then reevaluate.

    Over the course of that month, I was only able to post 3 times a day one time.

    Why?

    A total systems failure! 

    But because of this failure, I was able to land on a new strategy that I'm sharing in today's episode, which has helped me to produce similar results to what Nicole was sharing! 

    So in this week's 6-Figure Secrets Podcast, I'm walking you through how I landed on this strategy and sharing how you can implement this strategy too.

    TAKEAWAYS: 
    Learn how to do a pinned post on Instagram. These are posts that sit at the top of your Instagram feed and can help you keep information and offers that you want your followers, or new followers, to see often. I have a link in the resources below to help you learn how to do this.Try Many Chat on Instagram to get more engagement. This has been such an awesome tool that automates engagement! Many Chat is a bot that is set up to where when a follower comments a keyword, and then it automatically DMs a link to the person who commented. The more engagement you get, the more your content is pushed to other people on Instagram. Make it work for you. There are so many different methods and tools out there to help you run your business. But you can’t do them all! It’s ok to try something and not have it work. So when this happens to you, use it an opportunity to try something else. Remember, be ruthless about the goal, but flexible in how you get there.RESOURCES:

    EP 373 | When do I enter leads into the Pitch Sequence? [Ask Me Anything | Funnel of the Month Club]

    EP 373 | When do I enter leads into the Pitch Sequence? [Ask Me Anything | Funnel of the Month Club]

    Welcome to this episode inside of our Ask Me Anything Series on the 6-Figure Secrets Podcast! Today I’m sharing three email marketing and funnel questions submitted by two of our Funnel of the Month Club members.

    First up is member Kasia McDaniel. Kasia is a homestager who helps homeowners and real estate agents get your home ready to sell, so that buyers fall in love with your home and it sells quickly.

    Kasia submitted two questions that involve nuances within her email marketing, and how to move forward. 

    Her first question is, “When do I enter my leads into my Pitch Sequence?” And her second question is, “What do I do with my old lead magnets?” 

    In my response, I’m sharing details about qualifying your leads for the Pitch Sequence and a few suggestions on what to do with old lead magnets that may or may not be in alignment anymore.

    You can learn more about Kasia through her website and hang out with her over on Instagram. 

    Our third question was submitted by a member who wished to remain anonymous. They wanted to know more about using data to drive their decisions and at what point you make changes to your email marketing and email funnels.

    In my response, I share data points that you need to know about email marketing and when and how to change it to create better results.

    EP 372 | Quiet influence featuring Jen Liddy

    EP 372 | Quiet influence featuring Jen Liddy

    To escape endlessly asking her high school students to put their phones away,

    Jen Liddy left her job teaching English & jumped into entrepreneurship with zero idea of how to run a business or ‘do’ marketing.

    Fast forward 11 years, beyond many many many mistakes & several business models.

    Now Jen pours her word-nerdiness into a job she loves: Brand Message & Content Strategist.

    She shows service providers how to translate their expertise + big ideas into words that work to attract their exact-rights clients…

    AND use their wealth of knowledge without giving away all the hows.

    The best part? She gets to still be a word nerd & teaching geek without ever grading another crappy Macbeth essay!

    TAKEAWAYS:
    Shift your market to the “them them them” show. You want to mirror what’s going on in your audience’s life, meaning you want to mirror the problem people are having and then take them on a journey to help them achieve a goal or relieve their frustration.Give power to the word YOU. The audience cares about what’s in it for them, so start writing content from the “you” perspective instead of “I”. People want to feel seen and heard.What type of voice are you using? Ask yourself, if I were relaxed and felt most like myself, how would I talk? How do I talk to my clients? What words resonate with my audience. How you use words will matter to your audience.RESOURCES:

    EP 371 | Selling, daily

    EP 371 | Selling, daily

    If you want to sell something in your business every single day, this episode of the 6-Figure Secrets Podcast is for you! 

    This is the goal that we have for all of our Email Genius students as we open the doors to the program and welcome in new members.

    In this episode I'm walking you through some key things to think about when chasing down this goal of selling daily. I'm sharing some behind-the-scenes sneak peeks into my business, and some mindset shifts to think through to help you start to set this system up for yourself. 

    TAKEAWAYS:
    Make sure your audience knows you are open for business. Make the invitation to buy (anything! something!) often. Change happens when you do things differently. If you have a goal of selling something everyday, dare yourself to accomplish the goal. That simple act of challenging yourself to try something new will create different results.Selling often attracts the right people to you. If your folks are motivated, and you offer up the right product to them that speaks to their specific pain point, they purchase to help speed up their results and minimize trial and error.RESOURCES:

    EP 370 | Leveraging the media to get visible featuring Beth Nydick

    EP 370 | Leveraging the media to get visible featuring Beth Nydick

    Beth Nydick is the founder of The F.A.M.E. Formula, supporting digital business owners to amplifying their brand's presence with steady media exposure and strategically driving traffic to monetize the spotlight.

    Plus Beth knows a thing or two about getting in the spotlight, because let's face it, who doesn't want visibility for their brand.

    She has been featured in OPRAH, Parade, Forbes, Inc., Fast Company, Nylon Magazine, Tori Burch, and Better Homes and Gardens.

    She has also appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show, The Chew, WPIX and The Tonight Show.

    Her clients have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fast Company, Business Insider, GMA, Drew Barrymore, Sherri Shepherd and many more.

    She is also the co-author of the top-rated cookbook "Clean Cocktails: Righteous Recipes for the Modern Mixologist".

    TAKEAWAYS:
    Visibility isn’t about getting in the media, it’s about what you do with the media afterwards. Know what your messaging is and be consistent on all media platforms, including your visibility in interviews, a book, speaking engagements, etc. Your messaging should feel like you whether that’s in an Instagram post, your offer or service, or in an interview. You won’t make money from being published, but you will see money when you utilize your media as a tool over and over again. Talk about what you are doing often and keep sharing, even if it feels small. The more often you share, the more people will come to you as the expert. Beth believes people are interested in the little things, so share what you are working on. Be bold so you can inspire others. RESOURCES:

    EP 369 | One year and 400 members later, 3 takeaways from the Funnel of the Month Club

    EP 369 | One year and 400 members later, 3 takeaways from the Funnel of the Month Club

    I launched my Funnel of the Month Club in February 2023 while in isolation with COVID! Wild, right?! One year later, I've learned A LOT about running a membership, even if it my third time around! I have now been able to welcome over 400 lifetime members into this membership in it's first year. 

    In this episode, I'm sharing 3 lessons I’ve learned over the past year launching my third membership, Funnel of the Month Club. My hope is that this helps you avoid some of these pitfalls I found myself in, and it helps you navigate the launching and scaling of your own membership. 

    TAKEAWAYS:
    You always need to be selling your membership. Something you have to be prepared for with memberships is that people can cancel at any time. So you might lose 10 members in a month, which means you need to not on replace those 10 spots, but that you you also need to sell more, so that your membership still grows. Focus on retention. It is true that if you want consistent recurring revenue, you do need to consistently sell. But you also have to remember to retain the members you already have. One thing that I do is survey my current members to see what it is that is working or not working in the program. Then I try to implement those changes in a way that still works for me and my business, but serves the client.Simplify your membership. In a traditional membership model, whenever someone joins, they receive all the previous benefits of other members. I got feedback from some of my members who found this really overwhelming. The minute you overwhelm someone, they don’t want to do the work. See where you can adjust so that joining and staying in your membership is a no brainer!RESOURCES:
