It’s always important to go back to the basics once in a while as a refresher.

Of course, it’s also important to discuss as a content creator like me because my audience is always growing.

Maybe you’ve been around for years following me or maybe this the first article your read from me!

Either way, knowing these 10 simple online strategies to grow an audience fast will serve you well!

What do I mean by Simple?

-------------------------

Before we get into these Simple Strategies, let’s cover what simple actually means.

Well, more accurately, what I mean by simple.

To me, simple means something that can be done by following a few steps.

It doesn’t mean easy or quick, although it could be easy and quick too.

Think of driving a car – you probably think it’s easy to do now, but when you first started driving, I’m sure you didn’t think it was easy!

You learned the simple steps to driving though – look in mirrors, hold steering...

Today is a special report on how we are coping with the aftermath of the Fiona Hurricane here in PEI, Canada.

We were hit pretty bad for what we are used to up here in eastern Canada.

Obviously, not anything close to devastation by Ian Hurricane in Fort Myers, Florida but it was the worst damage to our fair land in decades, if not the worst in centuries.

Why not about online courses?

-----------------------------

I know, normally these episodes are all about digital courses, building audiences and online marketing.

Since I missed my normal posting date for my weekly episodes, I thought I’d do a special this week.

I’m late by a few days but that’s because we had no power.

One thing to note is that part of selling course online and building an audience is letting them into your life a little.

That’s party what this is about too.

What was Fiona Hurricane?

As you probably know, each Hurricane gets named when it...

It’s pretty easy to see who is in a group or who’s posting today in the group.

What’s not so easy is to find out who is regularly active in the group.

Ok, maybe it’s not that hard to do, but it can be quite complicated to keep track of.

In any case, it is possible and I’m going to show exactly how you can do that in this post.

What is an Active User?

First, let’s make sure we’re on the same page as to what I mean by an Active User.

An Active User might just be defined as someone who is reading the posts in a group.

Unfortunately, we do not have access to that information and although it would be great to know who those users are, it would be hard to engage with them other than posting in groups and hoping they comment in your posts.

So, the next best thing is finding the users who are actually Active on Facebook in general.

When I say Active User, I mean someone who is active in their personal profile and posting public...

Maybe you think you have it all figured out because of everything you’re learned until now!

You might be right, but can you be sure?

I know that for me, I totally think I understand what Attraction Marketing is and how to use it.

Problem is that Social Media platforms have a say if what happens to any actions you take there.

The real question is if you aren’t in control, how can you get the best results?

What is Attraction Marketing?

For the purpose of this post, Attraction Marketing is the process of taking actions which causes prospects to reach out to you.

Those actions are mainly creating content with messaging that they understand.

It can be accomplished many different ways, including advertising, but on Social Media there are many considerations to keep in mind.

Leaders and Gurus will tell you to simply post content regularly and engage on other’s posts and that definitely works if you do it for long enough.

I mean, those leaders...

If you’re brand new to Facebook, you don’t need to worry about groups as much.

When you’re new, your newsfeed is great because Facebook will show you things from new people all the time.

However, after a while, say, maybe 6 months or 1 year, your newsfeed will be 99% only posts from your friends and people you’ve already interacted with.

That’s not what any business needs – we all need regular new blood, which means new leads and people to talk to.

Why do we need to figure out who our clients are?

Before we even worry about finding active users in groups, let’s clarify who your dream clients are.

I know, I know, it feels like the stupidest question because everyone is your client, right?

I mean, everyone wants what you have to sell or wants to make money or join you, otherwise you wouldn’t be promoting it!

I get you, I felt the same but what I realized is that even though everyone and anyone can benefit from it, in marketing, you...

Every guru and coach will tell you that if no one checks your offer, you can’t get any sales.

Of course, there’s more to it but it’s definitely true that you need eyes on your offer.

When I say “your offer”, keep in mind that can be anything such as a Facebook post, a funnel page, a video or a replicated web site.

It can even be a call with you.

Why don’t people check your offer?

Before you get into the best way to get people to check out your offer, lets discuss why they aren’t checking it out right now.

If you start with yourself, and ask yourself that question you’ll most likely come up with an answer similar to “I don’t know them”

So, it stands to reason that people need to know who you are before they’ll check out your offer.

That might seem like a difficult thing to accomplish when you are trying to get strangers to checkout your offer.

What is best way to get them to check out your offer?

I’ll get into more...

Creating your first online course should not be a monumental task.

I used to think I needed to create a perfect course so that I could sell it and make tons of money.

Maybe you think that too and I certainly would love for you to accomplish that.

However, you might find that doing that requires learning a lot of things or spending lots of money hiring people to do it for you.

If you’ve got the time or money, this blog post is not for you and that’s ok.

What is a Simple Online Course?

What I mean by simple online course is that there’s no complicated sections and chapters or equipment needed.

You’ll get there soon enough but for now, we’ll talk about a course that is simply a bunch of lessons.

To make even simpler, we’re talking about that course that you create from a single video.

Sure, you can record multiple videos, do a bunch of takes and take more time to perfect the recordings but we’re here to go through the process faster...

Before you can create an awesome course, you’ll probably create some simple ones.

I know, everyone wants the perfect course to sell and make tons of money from, I get it.

You could do that, hire the best people to make everything perfect and spend the budget of a small country and you’d surely have an amazing course.

I don’t know about you, but I never had that kind of budget for a course… still don’t.

It’s either time or money

You could also spend hours and hours learning everything you need to do to create a perfect course.

In all honesty though, I’m pretty sure you’ve never get there and no matter what you do, you’d end up starting with a “not perfect” course.

That’s why I am a firm believer that you might as well take action and learn while you do it.

You can spend money or you can spend time but you must spend one of them or nothing will happen.

I choose time over money because I have some and I need to learn...

There are really tons of ways to create and online course and in the end you want a high quality course.

Today’s not about a high quality course though and some may tell you it’s not worth doing unless it’s high quality but I beg to differ.

The reason I believe it’s worth doing a “not so good quality course” is the same as any other action you take to get better.

In your online journey to build a business, you’ll have to learn hundreds of new skills.

Why create a low quality course?

That means that part of the reason to create a low quality course is because you can’t possibly create a high quality course when you’re getting started.

In the beginning, you can’t be the better than what you are and if that means a low quality course, that’s what it means.

Sure, you could wait to get better or you could simply hire someone else who can do it better than you.

However, that means you’ll either wait forever or always be paying...

If you’re like me, you’ve been on Facebook for years and started using it to connect with friends and family.

Maybe you even still use it just for that and thought you should create a second account for your business.

It should then come as no surprise that most people on Facebook are not there for business reasons or to buy things.

That’s why, if you reach out to them, most will not take you seriously or flat out ignore or even block you!

What steps do you need to take to be serious on Facebook?

Alright, if that’s true, then before people take you seriously, you must become serious yourself.

How? The best way is to look professional and that is accomplished by ensuring your profile follows a few simple guidelines.

Here’s the tops 5 guidelines:

1- Profile picture needs to be correct

2- Cover photo needs to convey the right message

3- Your BIO must speak to your prospect

4- Your featured images need to show why they should like you

5-...
