Building Your Audience Through Trustworthy Content with Michelle Cummings
As a business owner, is giving stuff away for free effective? Michelle Cummings, the founder of Training Wheels, has seen it work. In Michelle’s case, free content builds trust with her audience.
“They'll shop around a little bit, of course,” she says. “But the more they build loyalty with you as either the face of your company or the brand behind it or just the mission and what you do and how you do it, that actually will get people to … want to purchase from you directly.”
She has seen it work. Michelle has been in business for 24 years, and she’s been a Constant Contact customer for almost just as long. She sends a newsletter every Wednesday to her list of more than 22,000 people interested in team-building and leadership tactics.
This is on top of running a leadership training online course, conducting keynotes and online workshops, and authoring several books — one of which is being made into a screenplay (!!)
On this episode of Be a Marketer, Michelle and host Dave Charest discuss the importance of blocking off creative time and why you should focus on your list-building efforts.
