-Bonnie L. Frank 

In this week’s episode, I discuss easy marketing strategies to get your ideal client on your email list and how to consistently provide value to your audience through your weekly emails.

Entrepreneurs and online business owners often spend so much time worrying about the wrong things. Here are five things that will not make the difference in your business and the #1 thing entrepreneurs get wrong.

• Entrepreneurs and online business owners often worry about the wrong the wrong things.
• The five things I see them worry about and focus way too much time on are: A logo, A uniquely coded website, A fancy DSLR camera for livestreaming or capturing the perfect images for your blog posts, A certain online course.
• Every business should have a website--including those in Direct Sales, MLM , Network Marketing.
• Target audience and ICA are NOT the same thing! (I spend a great deal of time discussing what each of these is in the episode.
• You cannot have a bunch of ICAs.
• It's crucial that your marketing and messaging remain consistent so that you consistently attract your target audience online.
• When you attract outliers, it's because your communication has been inconsistent.
...

It's simple...but not easy. Your business isn't growing the way you'd like, you're not making the sales you want and here's the reason.

In this week's episode:

• It's not that hard to create an online course or program, but what IS difficult is the marketing so it actually sells!
• You must have the correct messaging for your audience.
• You've got to know WHAT to say to them!
• It's not you, it's not your product, program or service...it's the communication.
• You must have the correct messaging and marketing for that particular course or program in order for that course or program to sell.
• When there is a breakdown in your online communication, the sales stop...or never begin.
• You very likely have a pretty good idea of who your audience is, but if you can't effectively communicate with them, the sales won't happen.
• NO ONE is a "born salesperson."

• You've got to "tell your story" when you market, whenever you sell.
• Everyone likes to hear stories!
• I mention the Calm app. I use it to fall asleep--it's really good!
• You must ignite emotions in order to sell!
• People act, click, purchase from emotions.
• REALLY knowing your "people" (ideal client avatar and target audience) are is key to being able to sell.
• People purchase from having their emotions ignited and their WANTS--not needs.
• You NEVER need to be "salesy" in order to sell, but you do need to tell your story to sell.
• You simply need to tell your audience how you do what YOU do and the transformation they can go through by doing this, too.
• You've got to reach people (communicate with them) in ways...

In this week's episode:

• The social media environment is a very noisy place and it can be difficult to be noticed,  seen, heard and remembered over all of that noise.
• You want to be a "scroll stopper!"
• How can you set yourself apart from everyone else talking about (or selling) what you are on social media?
• You must know your target audience and it's NOT everyone anywhere.
• Your audience is actually a very specific group of people "living" online in particular places. (I give examples of this in the episode.)
• Your audience may not be hanging out on social media very much at all--you must know the demographics of your target audience to know this.
• You must know your ICA (Ideal Client Avatar before you can know your target audience.
• Sometimes you will attract outliers (people outside of your target audience), and that's okay, but...
