Something Even Better

When I was a life coach focused on burnout, email marketing helped fill my 1:1 and group programs more than any other method. And there’s evidence to support that it’s a much more effective marketing method than almost any other out there, with a higher conversion rate than social media.

I love email marketing – especially for coaches – because it allows you to get a bit more personal. You can share stories you might not feel comfortable sharing elsewhere. You can slowly build trust over time. And your email subscribers aren’t expecting you to send them an email every day, and you’re not penalized for not being active every single day like you are on social media. 

In today’s podcast, I dig deep into email marketing, specifically for coaches, and how effective it can be in signing new clients, while touching on these topics:

• Why every life coach (or any coach!) needs email marketing
• How to create a freebie that your ideal clients actually want
• Why I love MailerLite for email marketing for life coaches
• Where to share your email opt-in
• The next step in your email marketing: Your welcome sequence
• How to sign coaching clients from email marketing

SEO tools can be a secret weapon for coaches. But I’ll be honest, many coaches shudder when they even hear the word "SEO."  Get links to research, screenshots, and more for this episode over here on the blog!

It sounds technical, maybe a little cold, and definitely too complicated to understand, so why even bother, right? Wrong!!!

Today on the podcast, I talk about how SEO strategy can make every piece of content you create work harder for you over time and help your perfect fit clients find you with way less effort.

I dive into:

• Why every coach should use SEO in their business
• What is SEO and why do coaches need it?
• Does SEO really work for coaching businesses?
• How SEO keywords help coaching clients find you
• My favorite simple tools for SEO keyword research
• How to get the biggest bang for your buck with SEO as a coach

Everybody and their mother says you MUST use social media marketing for your coaching business, but why haven’t we stopped to consider the possible repercussions on our craft – our abilities as a coach? Read the blog with linked resources here!

In today’s episode, Stacie talks about social media marketing for coaches, the potential hidden costs to your coaching practice, and a better, more mindful and moderate approach to marketing your business with social media. 

Stacie answers a big question – Does social media marketing – specifically for coaches – have the potential to degrade our coaching skills over time? – by diving deeper into the questions below:

• Is social media marketing really worth your time and energy?
• What creates a great coach? And how can social media marketing potentially impede these skills?
• The research: Can focusing too much on social media marketing potentially destroy our skills as coaches?
• A better, more moderate approach to social media marketing for coaches
