Networking develops the skills of self-leadership, self-awareness, and self-management all of which give you the momentum you need to develop a powerful network that gets results. Carolyn has even written a book on the subject, and you can find it here: https://lnkd.in/ddkNfPg (https://lnkd.in/ddkNfPg) You need to find the strategies that work for YOU! Identifying your strengths and knowing what to walk away from will take some time. It’s important to actually spend that time and do those things, or else you’ll have too small a sample to accurately determine whether or not your networking techniques are paying off. As you explore different ways to network, modify them according to your personality and schedule. If you’re an introvert and casual mingling feels like being thrown in a pit of vipers, why not try more structured in-person networking? (For example, some events are small enough that everyone gets to introduce themselves to the group. This makes it more likely that people will seek you out later when there’s mingling.) If you love giving advice online but also are disciplined about getting away from your electronic devices, why not https://meetedgar.com/blog/introducing-facebooks-next-feature-new-way-broadcast-live/ (try Facebook Live to give advice), and answer questions in a designated time frame? If you’re an extrovert, and composing emails full of carefully crafted copy just isn’t your style, why not meet people face-to-face at events first, so your follow-ups over email can be more informal?

? How To Use Marketing Funnels In Your Business with Kate McKibbin

Today we're joined by Josh Garofalo. Download his copy makeover guide here: https://swaycopy.com/freelance-as-a-business/ Josh believes when your copy misses the mark, you scare away would-be customers, even if you have the best solution. Instead of choosing you, your prospects buy from an inferior competitor who nails their messaging, or they plod along as they always have. I hate when better technology loses to better messaging or the status quo. That’s why you need copy that bridges the gap between their pain points and your SaaS product. Copy that catapults you out of the ‘me too’ ranks, aka the SaaS graveyard. And copy that says everything your customers need to hear in a voice they can relate to. Without this copy, you’re left with outbound sales, the odd referral, and luck. Hardly a winning strategy. Except here’s the thing — writing copy for a company like yours is difficult and not everyone can do it well.  It’s translation with a dose of persuasion. It’s transforming features your customers can’t wrap their heads around into lightbulb moments. It’s positioning your product as the obvious choice without insulting anyone’s intelligence. It’s a specialized skill and hardly a place for the generalist copywriter to dabble. If your SaaS product solves a painful business problem, I’ll bring the copy that sells it. Your Turn!

Monitoring stats like your bounce rate, for example, can help you identify even more places with room for improvement. Blogging has evolved over the years. At first, you just needed to have a blog.

Today, part of writing a successful blog means your blog needs to succeed on social media. And, we don’t mean deciding that your blog strategy is to “go viral.” This means optimizing your blog post so that it stands out in social feeds, entices your followers to read more and is so engaging that readers want to click share after they’ve read it!

Tune in to hear tips from Julian Junemann on how to use data to structure your social media strategy. Julian is the founder of: https://measureschool.com/ Learn from his free courses here: https://measureschool.com/products/ If there’s one thing that every entrepreneur knows, it’s that if you are going to put in the work, you need to know what’s working for you. This is especially important if you are a solopreneur because your time is limited so you need to know that you’re spending your time on things that work. One of the best things about social media marketing is that you can measure almost everything about it. While this is fantastic for us data nerds, it can cause a bit of a dilemma for solopreneurs who are just looking for the data they can turn into actionable results. You don’t want to end up measuring the wrong things and prioritizing metrics that don’t contribute to your business growth.
