On this episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, I interviewed my good friend, Pam Hendrickson. Pam and I go WAY back. She is actually the person who interviewed me for my position with Tony Robbins, and was my first "big boss."

Pam and I have spent many hours working and traveling together. We joke that we spent more time together during certain seasons than we did with our husbands!

Pam worked for Tony Robbins for close to 20 years before going out on her own. Considering her experience with Robbins, she thought launching her first products would be easy, but she was wrong. In spite of the fact that the products were great, she made very few sales.

The turning point for her was when she learned how to give her customers what they want, and in this episode, we dive in deep about how to do that.

In this episode, here’s what we’ll cover:

A Special Gift from Pam for My Audience

Pam really went the extra mile by creating a special gift just for you, a free video training and report, which you can get here.

I've had Laura on the podcast before, but I wanted to have her on again, because she is a master in setting up processes and systems to grow your business.

This episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, is the third Ask Amy episode.

This is a new feature that I’ve added to my podcast. As I mentioned in episode 30, every other week I’ll answer your questions about online marketing, Facebook marketing, Facebook ads, webinars and email marketing.

To submit a question, all you need to do is go to amyporterfield.com/askamy and leave me a recorded message. Your question just might be the very next one I choose for the show!

Here’s the summary of the question for this episode:

“In episode 29 you talked about how to hyper-target your audience using Facebook ads, and you specifically talked about retargeting. Can you put retargeting ads in both the newsfeed and the right-hand column and if so, which option works best?”

On this episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, I interview my good friend, copywriting expert, Ray Edwards. Ray and I go way back. I first met him when I was still working for Tony Robbins. At the time we were in need of a killer sales letter for a big product we had just created, and Frank Kern, a master at online marketing, suggested we reach out to Ray.

As it turns out, hiring Ray to write the sales letter was one of the best decisions we ever made because he nailed it. The sales letter Ray wrote converted really well; every time we used it, our sales were through the roof!

Copywriting is something that a lot of my clients have questions about, and I have to admit that it doesn't come naturally to me; I have to really work at it! But it's a super important skill to master because impact and revenue are directly tied your ability to write great copy, so I invited Ray on the show to share his wisdom in this area with all of you. I know you won't be disappointed!

In this Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast episode, the second Ask Amy segment is introduced, where questions about online marketing, Facebook marketing, Facebook ads, webinars, and email marketing are answered. Listeners can submit questions by leaving a recorded message at amyporterfield.com/askamy.

The featured question in this episode is about the new Facebook Page layout and how to leverage it for maximum impact and exposure on Facebook. Here are the key points discussed:

1. **Stats on the Right:** In the new layout, to the right of the cover photo, you'll find weekly stats, including new Page likes, overall post reach, unread messages, and notifications. Amy suggests tracking these numbers weekly to measure your progress.

2. **Tab Management:** Below the cover photo, there are tabs that function like the old layout's boxes. You can reorder them by clicking "More" and selecting "Manage Tabs." Amy emphasizes that tabs may not convert well unless you use Facebook ads to drive traffic to them.

3. **Scheduled Posts:** If you schedule posts on your Facebook Page, the new layout displays a "Scheduled Posts" notification, showing the number of scheduled posts and the next publication time. This feature makes it easier to manage and edit scheduled posts.

4. **About Section:** Amy advises being strategic with the "About" section, using it to promote lead magnets and important links. However, note that linking to your website may not be an option for local business Pages.

5. **Pages to Watch:** The "Pages to Watch" feature in Insights allows you to monitor other Pages that attract your ideal audience. You can manually add Pages to observe. It's located in the Overview tab of Facebook Page Insights.

6. **Top Posts from Pages You Watch:** After selecting Pages to watch, you can view the most engaging posts from the previous week in the Posts tab of Insights. This feature helps you gain insights and model engaging content strategies from similar Pages.

Amy also mentions that when you add a Page to watch, the admin of that Page is notified but won't know who added it.

This episode is part of the Ask Amy series, where online marketing questions from listeners are addressed. You can submit your questions for consideration in future episodes at amyporterfield.com/askamy.

On this episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, I dive into launching your programs, your products, your services online. The great thing is that I dove into this extremely important conversation with the pioneer of all online marketing launches, Jeff Walker. Jeff is known for a system he created called The Product Launch Formula and is truly one of the top internet marketing experts and leaders.

He tells a great story of how he got started, and to get the full scoop, you’ll need to listen to the interview because I wouldn’t be able to do his story justice, so for now I’ll just say that before he started his first online business, he had never ran a business before. He had absolutely zero sales training and no marketing skills.

He jokes that he was always the kid that couldn't sell more than one bag of donuts for the Boy Scouts fundraiser every year and that one bag was usually purchased by his parents. So as you can see, sales and marketing didn't necessarily run in his blood from day one.  He was an average guy who made an extraordinary impact on many people's lives and continues to do so through his teachings.  That's why I am honored to have Jeff on the show today.

Before you listen to the interview, I want to share one more thing with you and that is that Jeff just wrote a book called, Launch: An Internet Millionaire's Secret Formula To Sell Almost Anything Online, Build A Business You Love And Live The Life Of Your Dreams, and for a very limited time, you have an opportunity to get the book for free -- you just have to pay for shipping and handling -- and in addition to the free book, he’s throwing in a bunch of free bonuses. To get the free book and bonuses, go to amyporterfield.com/launch.

Here's the question for this episode:

I just launched my website officially at Easter. I took your advice, I put a Facebook sweepstakes on the right side bar, and the resort I work at allowed me to give out a fantastic package, they're really helping me out and it's going really well. In the first month, I've got about 130-something likes and I just love to see that, but I want to keep the momentum going. I want to know what the next step for me might be, whether it's Facebook ads or whatever you think would be the most efficient thing for me.
