  • Business BLAB - Email Marketing Must Haves
    If you listened to the episode about the importance of an email list, you heard my excitement as I decided to start working on growing my list! Since then, we had an email expert come on our podcast for a full length episode about email marketing… make sure you go back and check that one out to hear from a pro!
    Email marketing is a beast! I thought it was going to be pretty easy, and as I get my systems in place it is starting to get a little easier. But, phew, getting going is tricky. Here are some of the things I’m learning as I go, and hopefully you can incorporate these into your email marketing plan if you aren't already!
    📧 Create strategy
    📧 Lead with value
    📧 Share your story
    📧 What to include
    📧 Something to think about
    📧 Support your community
    Ok, so that’s what I’ve got so far… I am by no means an email expert, and am learning every day as I work to grow my list. It’s been really fun getting out of my comfort zone and creating content in a new way. My list is starting to grow, and I’m working hard to get my strategy locked down so I can just keep showing up for my audience. How’s your email list going? Are you on mine yet?

Boundaries are the most important thing that we can do for ourselves and our businesses to stay sane, avoid overwhelm, and take complete control of our time and energy.

    🚫Don’t let emails and notifications rule your life
    🚫Put down the phone and limit screen time
    🚫Learn to say no to opportunities
    🚫Respect your value
    🚫Stop explaining yourself
    So there you have it! I can’t sit here and tell you what boundaries to set for yourself and your business, but give these ideas a try and see how you feel. Committing to boundaries and following through will change your business, and your life!

  • Business BLAB - Creating a Clubhouse Strategy

    Have you heard about clubhouse?! If you’re new around here, you’ll quickly realize that I’m OBSESSED! It is the BEST app I have ever used, and that is not an exaggeration. The connections you can make with people from this app are so instant, so organic, and so powerful, that it has become the driving lead source for my business. And it’s FUN! All you have to do is show up, listen, be yourself, and watch the magic happen. But, as easy as that sounds, it does help to have a little strategy in place so you don’t miss out on anything… or get overwhelmed! Here is my own clubhouse strategy that I’ve used to grow my business and create a strong presence on clubhouse!

    Block out time.

    Provide value

    Create a room schedule that works for you.

    Collab and co-mod.

    Manage your DMs.

    Track your leads.

    Have fun!

    CH is quickly becoming a favorite amongst many business owners! But, since it’s SO GOOD,  it can be a little overwhelming. Getting your strategy in place is key to get the most of this app and avoid burnout. Do you have a CH strategy in place? I’d love to hear it! Email me at [email protected] and let me know.

  • Business BLAB - What Are Branding Words
    Have you heard about “branding words?” Kelsey Kurtis was the person who introduced me to the concept of branding words many years ago. She is a pro when it comes to teaching you how to develop these words and make them part of who you are.
    The idea of branding words is just starting to catch on, but have been around for a while. Your marketingbff.com says branding words are descriptors you want people to use to endorse your business. These are words that define you, your work, and what clients get by working with you…. Words you hope people are using when you’re not around.
    These are the words you want others to use to describe you when you’re not around. They are the impression that you want to leave on other people. They are powerful! And you can start taking control of planting these little branding word seeds today!
    So, start thinking about what words you want people to use to describe. Start thinking about what words they may already be using to describe you. Make a list! Maybe even throw out a post on social media or ask your friends and followers to tell you a couple words that come to mind when they think of you. Once you start paying attention you will notice words that keep repeating themselves, and you can start to narrow down the words you want to be associated with.
    What do you think your branding words are? Email me at [email protected] and let me know!
