We hear this story all the time from clients:
“My product and/or service is amazing!
It has so many capabilities and endless possibilities- it can do this and it can do that…
We need to do this and we need to do that right now!”
While the end product is in fact amazing, these entrepreneurs are so head deep into their product that it consumes them. It consumes them so much to which they have lost sight of their initial goal. Establishing their brand. Yes, It’s great that your product does so many things and will be able to do much more in the future, but ask yourself “Is my brand well known right now?” if you answered no then take a step back and focus on pushing out current content that tells your brand story. Once your product has traction then you can start releasing and pushing out new content.

We’ve all heard the expression “money is in the list,” and it’s true. So, to build the list what is your best tool? I’m a fan of the lead magnet. A lead magnet is defined as an irresistible and ethical bribe offering a specific chunk of value to a prospect in exchange for their contact information. Creating a good lead magnet is different than just creating something. It has to be relevant to what you eventually want to sell, and it has to be of value to your audience.

How many times a day do you get an email and move it straight to trash before even opening it? We are all guilty of this action because we receive hundreds of “spam” emails everyday. They are trying to captivate us with: Buy this Save this Sign up to be an exclusive member You don’t want to miss this But none of this works. The first step to a successful email campaign is a catchy subject line. Put yourself on the receiving end. Would you open an email with the subject you are about to choose? Sifting through hundreds of emails a day, your audience needs to be captivated by “something.” The opportunities are endless, but you must have “something” to catch their attention.
