We received a great question about how coaches should distinguish between their free and paid content; what should be included in things such as freebies, blog posts and livestreams, and what should be saved for content for paying clients. 

This is such a great question, and it may be something you are wondering too, so we wanted to cover this on the podcast.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The purpose of your free content and how it plays an important role in your marketing and client attraction strategy
• 8 popular types of free content you can use to attract your ideal clients
• What to avoid doing with your free content
• Examples of free content you can start sharing today

The goal with your free content is to draw people in to learn something short and sweet and leave them wanting more, then direct them to the next step such as sign up for your freebie, join your Facebook group, read a blog post, watch a video or something else.

Your free content should ultimately lead people to your paid programs, and that’s how content marketing works.

Tune in to find out more.

Have you ever promoted a free offer, a webinar, a paid program or something else and the results were less than stellar?

This happens to almost everyone at some point but once you know how to troubleshoot and make the right changes, you’ll start seeing much higher conversions. 

There are 4 common reasons why this happens and once you know what they are, you can troubleshoot and see where you can make changes to make it better. 

In this episode, we’re sharing the top 4 reasons and giving you examples of how to fix them.

Reason #1: You are speaking more about the features or the “stuff” they get instead of the benefits and results.

Reason #2: You are not focusing enough on their pain points and conveying that you understand where they are right now.

Reason #3: You aren’t using the words or phrases they are using or things they are saying to themselves.

Reason #4: You aren’t addressing and disarming their objections.

Copywriting comes into play with ALL the copy you write, from your emails and social media posts to your sales pages, landing pages for your free offers, your website, your blog posts and more.

Listen in to learn more about these 4 reasons and how you can easily turn it around to get more people taking action.
