Valentine's ultrasound hospital date on my 100th live

What I learned by studying Chris Do, founder of The Futur

I am studying Chris content on branding, pricing and positioning and my key takeaways are:

1. Price your services based on the impact that your services have on the businesses you serve.

2. Do not sell the product or services but the solution to the painpoint(s) of your ideal customer

3. Use step by step guides to show to your audience how to solve a problem they have.

My take on No3 is that is absolutely true although it sounds counter intuitive.

We are afraid that by showing the secrets we will lose business but we do not take into account a couple of things:

1. The lack of time business owners have to implement solutions even if they know know how

2. The lack of confidence that the result they achieve will be worth the time invested from them (and is taken away from other value adding activities)

I am learning constantly and I am personally growing while growing my business and I am very excited to disect all this information and offer it to all of you in a newsletter format so you can grow too!

Tomorrow I am hitting my 100th consecutive live and I am excited!

How I turn Monday to a happy and productive day

Do no focus work early in the morning!

I prepare my task list from Sunday night.

For the first 3-4 hours of the day I only work on quick wins, projects and tasks that need 30 mins of execution or less.

Anything admin goes here.

By the time I am done:

1. Half of my week's task list is done so I feel lighter and happier

2. I can block bigger chunks of focus time for "brain intensive" tasks during the week.

That's it!

Kind reminder to self: It's a marathon, not a sprint so relax when you can

60 hour working week AND 95th live a row DONE!

Ecommerce store owners do not ignore this!

When you list your products take the time to do it right, especially these small details that no one talks about:

1. Images alt tags so you can increase the image SEO

2. Appropriate tags for easier search and filtering in your website so you can offer a better user experience

3. Add information in all the backend elements as SKU, inventory, pricing tiers, different attributes (like sizes, colours etc) so you can have a tidy virtual "warehouse"

4. Collections and related products manually added so you can correctly upsell and crossell more of your products and generate more revenue per customer.

Do not rush when you add your products in the backend of your platform, take your time and do it right.

How it started vs how it's going

When I started I was offering services and consultation for free.

It was my way to get traction and experience.

Later on I started charging but almost nothing for the quality of work delivered.

6 months ago I changed my model from project based to subscription based with a very low price for the monthly commitment and the continuously improving quality of work.

Within a week I am officially moving my website away from Wordpress and I am celebrating with DOUBLING my existing prices.

This will reflect the quality of the work I deliver and will empower me to improve more and faster!

These are not the only news, since I am launching soon:

* Conversions centric daily newsletter

* Blog

* Audits (websites, landing pages, funnels and more)

* Weekly workshops

* Done with you services

Exciting!

How to build a community if you don't have many followers

If you are expecting a secret recipe to success you will be disappointed.

The only thing you need to do is to engage.

In other words, be a social human being.

If this is too hard for you then probably social media is not a place you should use to do business.

Or anything social really...
