Top 3 Marketing Blind Spots You’re Missing in 2022

By business coach No Comments

Have you ever heard the saying, “It’s impossible to read the label on the outside of the jar that you’re in?” 

It means we need an outside perspective to help us see the things about ourselves that we can not see.

These blind spots can go unnoticed in business because, as owners, we’re frequently focused on other things like customer service and running day-to-day operations.

In this week’s video, we are counting down the Top 3 Marketing Blind Spots I see most often as a marketing consultant that are costing entrepreneurs tens of thousands if not millions of dollars in lost revenue and opportunity.

There is a massive business opportunity with magazine publishing (both digital and print.)

In fact, we’re seeing members of our community grow with magazine publishing faster than ever before and it almost never includes selling advertisements by cold calling.

“After our launch on January 4th we have received nearly 100 subscriptions!  Now I am getting some requests from advertisers!”- Jeremy Spurgeon, Mobile Musician Magazine on Jan. 7 

(3 days after launching)

“Better than expected! When I showed my mastermind group my newly published digital magazine, they were very impressed and blown away! The magazine is going to be a great asset for me to build my subscriber list and grow my men’s coaching program.”  – Dr. Orest Komarnyckyj, The Standard.Academy Magazine

The reason for their success is that they are building multiple revenue streams off of magazine publishing with a “magazine funnel.”

To inspire you, here are 14 ways to monetize a magazine funnel. (I have over 50 ways.)

  • Create advertorials for your new services encouraging signups or trial offers
  • “Stage Swap” a magazine article with someone else who has a show
  • Sell the magazine on your website
  • Interview your top prospects in your magazine to get your “foot in the door”
  • Give away the digital version for free on your website as a lead magnet in exchange for the reader’s email address
  • Follow up with your magazine subscribers with an email drip campaign to your calendar to book people to talk to
  • Create social media posts spotlighting your contributors and ask them to share to grow your audience
  • Send printed copies to your top referral partners to impress them
  • Write articles for the products you love and include your affiliate links
  • Leverage your magazine to get a Media Pass to your favorite conference – provide a write-up in exchange
  • In your networking meeting pitch announce that you are looking for people to interview (who are your best prospective clients)
  • Print a business card with a QR code that goes to your magazine signup optin page
  • Handout your magazine at networking events
  • Print copies of your magazine and bring them with your magazine and leave them behind to impress prospective clients

Goal Setting Without the Overwhelm

By business coach, Denver business coach, marketing consultant No Comments

Have you been finding yourself a bit off track lately? 

Are you struggling with how much to expect of yourself and struggling with what to say “yes” to and what to say “no” to?

Let’s take a fresh look at ways to manage your life so you can achieve the goals you have without the overwhelm in an unpredictable world.

Today we’re going to talk about something a little different: goal setting without the overwhelm.

This is for you if you feel like your life is running you and you’re not running it.

This is not for you if you thrive in “hustle culture.”

It seems like the rules of life are changing on a daily basis which can throw us into a tailspin as we try to adapt.

As new opportunities come up, we may feel hesitant because we’re not sure if we should commit to something that may or may not be available to us when the time comes.

In these times, we need a “back to basics” approach to goal setting.

Here are some tips that may help:

Set a vision, but be flexible.

  • Take time to reflect on the bigger vision you’ve set for your life, but give yourself grace if you’ve not yet achieved everything you want.
  • Go for a quick win to motivate yourself and get your energy and excitement back. Instead of 90 days or a year out, set a goal for the next 30 days that can be used to recharge your emotional battery.
  • When you feel like you’re back to your normal self, get back to your long-term goals.

Take back control of your day.

  • Schedule time for spiritual growth, health, and key relationships.
  • Put “time off” on your calendar too.
  • Once those time blocks are in place it’s easier to focus on work and financial goals because you will be filled up energetically.
  • Put all activities on the calendar – time blocking. If something comes up simply move the task it bumped to a different day.
  • Take action on your vision, even if it’s small.

Plug energy leaks.

  • People
    • Set boundaries around the energy vampires in your business and life.
    • Improve communication with loved ones where there may be conflict.
  • Places
    • Take a look at your environment and rearrange it or redecorate it to be more inspiring to you.
  • Things
    • Media: the goal of the media is to create conflict because conflict is what drives eyeballs and eyeballs drive up advertising costs. Understand that the mainstream media is poison. Turn off the TV.
    • Social media can be a time suck and cause you to go down “comparison rabbit holes” that are unhealthy. Limit your screen time activity and watch your attitude and energy improve.

Please remember to take care of yourself as we move into the New Year.

To your success!
