#279: Mastering The Art Of Self-Promotion | The Lead Generation Series


Listen Later

Raise your hand if you suck at self-promotion...

🙋🏻‍♂️ 🙋🏼 🙋🏿‍♂️ 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️ (←that's probably you.)

Sadly, self-promotion is where most freelancers hit a wall.

It's one thing to create an amazing service or irresistible lead magnet, but it's entirely another to promote it effectively.

If your calendar isn't booked solid with projects from ideal clients, then you likely suck at self-promotion. (just being real with you 🤷🏻‍♂️)

For those naysayers who think, "self-promotion!? You shouldn't have to self-promote if you're good at what you do!", I urge you to kill that thought with the fire of a thousand suns.

That's a self-imposed limitation. If promotion is a "normal thing" across every other industry, why should freelancers be the exception?

At its core, lead generation isn't about making lead magnets or revamping your freelance services. It's about mastering the art of self-promotion.

So, whether you're a seasoned freelancer or a newbie, we're about to dive into the nitty-gritty of self-promotion. We need to make sure your service (or lead magnets) doesn't go to waste.

By the end of it, you'll be armed with the tools to make your freelance business self-sustaining.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • Why your lead magnets aren't working
  • The six types of traffic
  • The "core four" types of marketing Brian uses
  • Using earned media to grow relationships
  • Why only 3% of your audience is ready to purchase from you right now
  • How hackers make money with stolen ad accounts
  • Demand creation vs. demand harvesting
  • Harnessing referrals and word-of-mouth marketing
  • Using a referral circle to help fellow freelancers
  • How to get a plan for your lead generation efforts
