In this episode, I'm sharing why this may be happening and what you can do to get back on track.- Why skipping from one thing to the next means that you have no idea if your offer is actually working or not.- The three main reasons why you're jumping around and how to focus on one thing at a time.- How identifying what you're good at (and what others struggle with) is a great place to start.- How fear and uncertainty can sabotage the action you're trying to take.SHOW LINKS:- Do you have a question for me?

Small audience? Don't make these mistakes in your next launch

Growing your following or getting more subscribers isn't going to make you more sales—especially if your offers aren't already converting. More followers does not equal more profit, unless your business is already profitable and your offers are already converting well. In today's episode, I'm sharing why audience size isn't the be all and end all of business growth—and what you can focus on instead.- Why large followings can have hidden problems that negatively affect conversion and sales.- How getting your foundations in place is really important *before* you scale.- Why shifting your perspective regarding your content can help to nurture the audience you do have—moving them closer to buying.- Why you can't keep creating free content and hope that someone likes it and buys your offer.- The importance of a clear, intentional sales process to actually sell your offers.SHOW LINKS:- DM me “magic” on Instagram (@stephtaylor.co) to join the Launch Magic waitlist or visit https://learn.stephtaylor.co/launch-magic-waitlist- Get my Daily Biz Booster emails: https://stephtaylor.co/DBB- 5 Simple Tweaks to Boost Your Launch Profits: https://stephtaylor.co/tweaks- Want me to spend a day working on your next launch?

In today's episode, I'm sharing 7 ways that failure works *for* you and not against you.- How understanding the core of fear and failure will help you to take baby steps towards the thing that you want to do.- Why failing actually speeds up your success in the long term by learning and growing.- How allowing yourself to be a beginner is important for growth and success.- Why focusing on what you want to achieve is essential—rather than focusing on what you want to avoid.- Why dealing with fear is one of the most challenging things about running and building an online business.- Why failing is never a waste of time!SHOW LINKS:- DM me “CC” on  Instagram (@stephtaylor.co) or visit https://stephtaylor.co/conversion-campaigns to join the waitlist for the next round of Conversion Campaigns membership enrollments.- DM me “magic” on Instagram (@stephtaylor.co) to join the Launch Magic waitlist or visit https://learn.stephtaylor.co/launch-magic-waitlist- Get my Daily Biz Booster emails: https://stephtaylor.co/DBB- 5 Simple Tweaks to Boost Your Launch Profits: https://stephtaylor.co/tweaks- Want me to spend a day working on your next launch?

5 small shifts to sell your offers without feeling sales-y

Growing your audience can be a long, hard slog. But it doesn't have to be. Audience growth can be simple—if you follow the two-part formula I'm sharing in today's episode. Having one part of the formula without the other (or having neither) just won't cut it in today's online world. In today's episode, I'm sharing 3 ways this shows up and how you can fix it.- How balancing both sides of the audience growth equation is important for successful audience growth.- Why creating great content is only as good as the strategy implemented to promote it.- Why focusing on intentional promotion strategies over organic social media growth is critical.- How creating remarkable content will set you apart and move the needle on audience buy-in.- Why getting out of your comfort zone and consistently delivering remarkable content can pay dividends for the growth of your business.SHOW LINKS:- DM me “BYBS” on Instagram (@stephtaylor.co) to find out more about “Boost Your Brand’s Superfans” or visit https://stephtaylor.co/boost-your-brands-superfans- Get my Daily Biz Booster emails: https://stephtaylor.co/DBB- 5 Simple Tweaks to Boost Your Launch Profits: https://stephtaylor.co/tweaks- Want me to spend a day working on your next launch?
