Online Marketing Podcast

I'm here to encourage you to embrace change.Change is going to happen. No one likes it, and especially in our business and with our marketing, change can really shake things up. It can make you nervous. It can make you feel fearful for the future.Just know it's a natural part of business. It's a natural part of your marketing process. It's a natural part as you grow, and you change, and you shift in your business.Once you're able to embrace that mindset, that change is just a part of the marketing process, it's a part of your business is a part of life, then you're going to just go more easy on yourself as those changes happen, you'll be able to adapt better, you'll be able to think of things a little bit differently and you know, not be so set in your ways of doing things a certain way.So, remember change is going to happen. Will you embrace it?Resources: Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

 A lot of times, when start marketing our offers and services, we want it to be one and done. We want it to be perfect. We want this perfect funnel to happen, this perfect method to happen. But that just doesn't exist. Marketing that works involves a series of tests over and over again, to try out different things, new methods, new ways to engage with your audience.In this episode, we are discussing how you can actually duplicate success by tracking and measuring your results, specifically your conversions.

 The moment something changes, that just means the rules of the game have shifted a bit. What we have to do is just lean into that and adapt.Okay, what are the new rules and what's the game now? What do we need to do? What are we evolving, pivoting, changing so that we can still be on the cutting edge compared to everybody else?There are still buyers in the market that want our thing and every time something shifts and change and everyone's like, “oh my goodness the sky is falling” quietly say to yourself, you know what, what opportunity does this change create? What opportunity does this change create? Because I need to see where the new opportunities are, where the new advantages are, and then I can just slide right in while everybody else is pining over how things used to be.Here’s the thing, anybody that comes in new today or new tomorrow, they don't know how things used to be and they're going to be successful. They're going to figure it out like where they are, right this second and I want you to do the exact same thing because there are always going to be changes.Marketing is always going to be evolving, shifting and molding so we can't be caught up in how we did things 5 years ago, last year or even six months ago.Embrace change, that is so vitally important especially when it comes to marketing because it's all about being adaptive.

Are you throwing spaghetti at the wall waiting for something to stick?In this space, something we see quite often are people throwing ideas out hoping something sticks. We're creatives, we’re entrepreneurs, we’re very ambitious, but we don't have that end goal in mind,But you've got to begin with the end in mind.I'm all about putting yourself out there, getting it going, getting it started, so definitely do that, but you also want to keep in mind where you're going. Having that end goal beginning with the end in mind, and the outcome that you want to achieve is a key part of that.So, not only from a financial standpoint, but also how do you want to feel along the way?You need to map out your marketing. This is so key to your success because you can have a plan of action and know where you're going in that plan.It will really guide the way that you connect with your audience, the different things that you do with your marketing messaging, whether it's organic, whether it's paid, but you have that outcome in mind.So again, try different things but have an end goal, an outcome, beginning with that end in mind of where you want to go, because it's going to help you steer the ship along the way. You won't just be trying throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks, you'll actually have some sort of guideline to follow along the way.Resources:Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

 Embrace your mistakes! Celebrate them and learn from them.This is important. I really want you to celebrate your mistakes because you're one of the few that took action that got out of your head that made a decision and moved forward.You took that step.And, when you take that step, you have a new point of view, you have a new lens from where you were before, you'll never go back to where you were before. Because now, even if it was a mistake, even if it was something that didn't work quite perfectly and that's the great thing when it comes to marketing your business when it comes to putting yourself out there into the world like that, that perspective will allow you to pivot adjust change because again, we talk about all the time, marketing is testing, and the only way that you're going to test is you have to be vulnerable enough to put out imperfection is put out things that are not perfect because it's the market feedback that we don't have until we put our thing out into the world.So go ahead and make mistakes. That is how we learn.

 One of the key pieces of being successful in marketing is having an open mind.Now, I know a lot of us think we have an open mind, but when we're presented with a new idea, a new challenge, just something new that's in our business, our natural tendency is to say wait, stop, I don't know, that's not going to work for me.All these different things, all these beliefs that we have about our business and why it won't work or why that strategy is not the best for us without even really looking at it from an open mind and open perspective.You know, the best marketers in the world and the best people in business are adaptable.They adapt to changes that happen in their business. They have an open mind, they try things out, they test things out, they give it a really good go and then make the determination there if it's best for their business.So when you're approaching your business and anything new that you encounter in your marketing comes up, I want you just to stop and listen and have that open mind. Listen first before you make any judgment, before you put the hands up and say, this won't work for me. Listen with an open mind first and then from there, try it out, put yourself out there, take those steps, you know, find a mentor that's going to help you along the way to really give it a good try before you make that determination. But have that open mind first, that's the first key step because an open mind can lead to so many opportunities in your business, but you have to be open to listen. So keep that open mind.

Are you following a recipe when it comes to your marketing or are you randomly putting things in?Marketing is a process.A process is a step-by-step system that brings you to a predictable result. When you have a predictable result, just like baking you can double the recipe and amplify the results.Do you want 12 cookies, or do you want 24? Once you have that recipe, its easy to double it.That's the same thing when it comes to your Facebook ads, your YouTube ads, whatever type of marketing whether it's organic or paid, when you know the process and you see the pieces, you get the predictable result, and what happens? You can duplicate it over and over again.You can get the same result; you can amplify and you can scale and that's so vitally important.Stop treating your marketing like it's a cooking class and start baking, start following the processes and systems that will get you that predictable desired result.

 Sales is a process! It’s taking your audience through the buyer's journey by building like, know and trust with your audience.The first thing is to connect with your audience so that they have an opportunity to get to know who you are as individual.This is an opportunity for you to share a little bit about yourself, your family, things that you like to do outside of work… things like hobbies or what you like to do to relax. Just give your audience a little bit of insight as to who you are and that will allow you to connect with them. Another way to connect with your audience is to invite them into your world by sharing a bit of what goes on behind the scenes. Share exactly what you are doing in your business, share “a day in the life”, give them a sneak peek as to what life looks like for you, and invite them into your world. Doing this builds that like, know and trust so that they're more likely to work with you in the future. To help build trust with your audience, work on positioning yourself as an expert. This shows them that you are the go-to person and it builds that trust and knowing that they have someone that they can rely on if they have a challenge in a particular area that they're seeking help for.So by positioning yourself as an expert, it shows your audience that you have their back, you have the knowledge, the skills, and the expertise to help them and that is going to lead them to your offer.Remember, sales is a process, so be strategic in your marketing and help your audience build like, know, and trust with you!

 How do you price your product or service?What price should your product, service, coaching program, membership course be at?Now here's the thing, in the open world right now there are people that are hunting for free or low-cost everywhere. They’re searching the Walmarts of the world, the Amazons of the world, they're looking on YouTube, on Google, they're searching and hunting in Facebook groups and on Instagram accounts… they're hunting for free or low cost.Yes, there are going to be way more people that want free or low cost in every single market or niche that's out there in the world. But.. at the exact same time, there are a lot of people in the world right now that are willing to make a very serious investment in our product and service.So I recommend when it comes to pricing is that we really need to know our audience, we really need to know the transformation. What is the problem they have and how are we speaking into that problem? What is the transformation that they're going to get through our coaching program or membership or course or product or service? What is that transformation?Because that's really the end result of what they're going to get, the promise that you're making. It doesn't matter how many modules or how how if it's a facebook live or zoom call. It doesn't matter if it's a whiz bang thing, it's the desired result, it's the end result that people are seeking, they want that problem fixed. What is the transformation. When you understand that, then you understand how to package around the price that you actually want.I'm going to challenge you: start with the price!What problem are you solving? And when you look at that price point, how can you create an offer around it that's going to make it totally irresistible?

Getting more sales in your business does not have to be complicated. Three things have to be aligned in order to get those sales. So the first thing is having the right audience and really understanding who you are speaking and marketing to. Understanding your audience’s needs, wants, desires, pain points, the things that they're striving for, and having a really clear understanding of who they are, will really allow you to speak to them in a way that they understand and connect with you. That leads to the second thing, which is your messaging, which has to be aligned as well. Once you deeply understand your audience, it's really about connecting with them using the words that they use, talking about the things that matter to them, talking about the things that they're excited about and conveying your understanding and empathy for them. Having that message aligned is super important! First is having the right audience and really understanding them. Second is aligning your messaging. The third thing is: your offer! Your offer should be a solution that solves your audience’s problem. Make sure that it your offer is a solution that really speaks to your audience.Listen to your audience really get to understand who they are, speak to them in a way that they understand and then create your offers around that. Align these three things and you will have results You need to make more offers!Resources: Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

In this current moment in time, there are people in the world that are willing to invest in your product or service, that are willing to invest in you and what you give into this world. But if we don't make an offer, what happens? They're ready, willing and able today - right now. But they're in the active market right the second and they're going to go somewhere else to make that investment because we're totally invisible. The answer is always “no” to the offer that has never made. I challenge you today is to make more offers.We are attracting people into our world. We're putting out the messaging that's aligned to them. We're bringing them through our funnels, our online marketing. We are sharing our goodness into the world.

Give yourself grace!You know what? You might be in a learning phase right now. And that is okay! Paul and I always talk about taking action and implementing, and that is super important, you definitely need to do that in your business to get things done, but there is a point where you are going to be learning new things, learning new terms, learning new marketing strategies, learning stuff that you’ve never been exposed to before, and you need to take the time to learn those things.So, if you’re in that learning phase right now, that is totally okay, you’re totally where you need to be. Be open-minded, get exposed to different things that you might never have been exposed to before, see things in a different way and take all that information in.Then after you take all that information in, you can ask more questions, you can ask for help, you can work on the strategy piece, but if you’re in that learning phase right now, totally be okay with just being there.Now go ahead and get started.  Start learning, be open minded and then take action on things that make sense for you.Resources: Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Truth bomb: The most successful marketers are the ones that are adaptive.Now what exactly does that mean? It means they’re not set in their ways and they’re willing to try new things.We are creatures of habit, it’s human nature, we don’t like change. But in order to move forward, we need to adapt. This applies to everything in life, but as marketers, in order to get our message out into the world, we have to adapt sometimes with the way that we reach people, and that often includes letting go of some of the marketing methods that we’ve used in the past. Anytime you are presented with an idea that you’re not sure about, I want you to take a deep breath and just listen with an open mind. That’s the first step to being adaptive! Be careful to refrain from that self talk or automatic response of, “no, that won’t work for me” or “yeah, but that’s different in my industry” or “yeah but…”.Just stop and listen with an open mind!To be successful, you need to roll with the punches, roll with the changes, be adaptive when things change in life and mold to whatever is going on in the world so that you can get your message out effectively.So, listen with that open mind and be adaptive!Resources: Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

None of us like change.  We'd like to do things the same way we've always done them because it's predictable and reliable.  But if we don't adapt to some of these changes that are happening in marketing, especially as marketing shifts and evolves, then we’ll be left behind.  In this episode, we are discussing how to shift and adapt to changes by keeping an open mind and leaning in to new opportunities that will give us a competitive advantage.Resources: The perfect Ad Framework - Use this framework to properly plan your ad so you create the most effective and highest converting ads possible!Online Marketing PodSquad: Our Exclusive Community where we talk all things about Online Marketing!

We're creatures of habit. We'd like to do things a certain way. Anytime there are any new changes in marketing that happen for us entrepreneurs, we tend to freak out a little bit because it's something that we're not used to. But let’s face it: one thing is consistent.. and that is CHANGE!   There are those who are paralyzed by change and those that lean into it and take advantage of the new opportunities that we’ve been presented with. In this episode, we are discussing the adaptive mindset you need to take advantage of ever-changing technology and how to adjust your marketing tactics successfully to be ahead of your competitors. Resources: The perfect Ad Framework Edition - Use this framework to properly plan your ad so you create the most effective and highest converting ads possible!Adaptive Inner Circle - The Inner Circle with Paul & Melissa Pruitt is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Membership - Adaptive Membership is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Traditional sales funnels are dead!Oh my goodness, pretty controversial right? Yes, but stick with me. I want you to really think about this, when it comes to marketing and sales, it’s a process right?Over the years, through the centuries of doing marketing and sales, there have been different tactics, methods and processes to get people through to that point of purchase.In the past we had posters, television, magazines, and newspapers. These were the things that guided our buying decisions.What happens these days? We have blogs and podcasts and YouTube and Facebook lives. So, while the strategy is the same, the tactics are always going to shift and change.When it comes to funnels, it's not really a new concept either.What is new is that the people coming into the space, they've gotten spoiled with how easy things have been over the last several years: all the targeting and retargeting, the extra information that we're able to gather about people, and what happened was we as marketers, we got used to how easy it was.With the IOS changes and privacy issues shifting all over the place, we need to be adaptable and lean in to the new and different opportunities that are being provided to us, because different doesn’t mean bad!Resources:Adaptive Inner Circle - The Inner Circle with Paul & Melissa Pruitt is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Membership - Adaptive Membership is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

A lot of times when I am coaching entrepreneurs and business owners, and they’re putting together their thoughts and ideas for there offer, they stop themselves before they even get started because they say, “someone’s done that already” or “so and so, has a product that’s just like that, I can’t compare myself to that”, and they freeze and they don’t go further with that idea, and that’s an awful shame! Because yes, there is a lot of noise out there, there’s a lot of competition out there, and I’m sure for every single product or service that’s out there, there’s a million different options, but the thing that’s not out there, is you and your unique voice and what you bring to the table!You have unique experiences, you have knowledge, you have skills that nobody else has, and that’s important to remember as you are crafting your offers, because even though it may have been done before by someone else, that’s their voice, that’s their spin, that’s their vibe. You have something unique and different to share!Don’t stop yourself before you get started. Put your offers out there, let people know you can help them out, because they’re waiting for you, and they need you.Resources: Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Have you ever been in one of those relationships where you got friend-zoned?  Well, you know what, that might be exactly what you’re doing with your audience! We see this often in the online marketing space, where people are getting free-zoned by their potential customers.What does this mean? When you put people in that free mechanism for so long, and you nurture them for so long, you’ve basically groomed them to expect free from you and never buy anything.We don’t want to be free-zoned; we want to build that relationship; we want a commitment. So just like dating, we can’t free-zone our audience. I want you to think about it, are you free-zoning your people? Or are you giving them offers that they are perfectly aligned with, and that they would love to purchase from you?So, remember, it’s okay to make more offers. Stop putting people in the free zone!Resources:Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

When it’s time to craft your offer, are you focusing on the features and forgetting to include the benefits? A lot of us make this mistake. The features are all the “things” in your offer: that’s all the modules, that’s all the lessons, that’s the PDF’s, that’s the audio downloads, that’s all the stuff, it’s all the things, and they are important because the detail-oriented people are going to want to know exactly what’s included in their offer.But in addition to the features, we also need to have the benefits, and this is the part a lot of people forget. With the features in mind, think about why it’s important? Why would this person really be interested in this module or in this audio download? How is it really going to help them? Then you need to tie the two together! Feature benefit language is super important, start incorporating this in all of your copy, whether it’s your sales pages, your landing pages, your free stuff, and yes you need it on the freebies too, they need to know why it’s important. When you have the feature tie to the benefit, then you truly can hone in on that transformation and the audience can really have a better sense and understanding of how your offer is really going to help them. So, list your features, all the stuff, all the things, all the goodies that you’re going to give to them, but then make sure to include the benefits!Resources: Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

When it comes to presenting our offer to the public, many of us tend to overwhelm our audience with a bloated list of features that are included in our offer. In this episode, we are discussing why less is more and how you can create high converting offers through clear messaging that truly connects with your audience’s desires.Resources:Anatomy of a High Converting Offer - the key pieces of a high converting offer that leads to salesAdaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Have you ever met someone that has tried to explain their product or service to you, but it’s so complex and so complicated that you were just like, “what?”.Well, I don’t want that to happen to you!When you’re creating a high converting offer versus one that doesn’t convert at all or that gets very low conversions, it comes down to how complicated you’ve made it.As human beings, we are pretty simple, we just want to know if what we’re buying is going to do what we desire. But when we’re marketing, many of us think we have to act differently, we put on this imaginary marketing hat and we start spewing out all kinds of crazy information, and we think this is what we are supposed to say, because it’s marketing.We get caught up trying to explain all of that techno babble, and at the end of the day, we just need to give people clarity. What do they already desire? What is your offer? And then between where they are now and where they want to be, is the transformation. And it’s your offer that provides the transformation, it’s the vehicle to get them from where they are now to where they desire to be.Marketing can be simple. I really want that to resonate with you because a lot of us think that it has to be some advanced, crazy thing, but I’m telling you, the best copywriters in the world, they pay attention to their customer, they pay attention to the language that their audience is already using, and then they use that language in their marketing.Keep it simple, make it clear, give clarity, get out of the way, don’t create friction… give high converting offers!

 What do you dream about? As entrepreneurs, we’re focused on strategies, tips, tools and things that are going to help people succeed and that is fantastic. We want to see our people do well! We want to see them make progress! But a lot of times, we forget to ask people what they dream about.What are those dreams that they’ve had? Let’s go beyond the surface level. What does that look like, what does that feel like for them? Do they dream about finally taking that vacation with their family that they’ve been longing for? Or maybe it’s being able to help people in their lives, to help others, to give back? Or maybe they dream about having stability? When we can really get to know our audience, we get to know who they are and what they desire, and that allows us to feel more connected to them and vice versa. It also allows us to serve them in an even bigger way.Having these conversations will create that connection and having that connection is going to allow you to serve them better. You’ll get your offers out in front of the right people and really make a huge difference.It’s one big connective circle, but it all starts by asking your audience, “what do you dream about?” Resources:Online Marketing PodSquad: Our Exclusive Community where we talk all things about Online Marketing!

 How big does your audience need to be for you to feel successful and fulfilled? Seriously, what is enough? How much is enough? When you achieve that first goal, you suddenly have a new goal, and that cycle keeps repeating. We get entrapped in this thought pattern and think that fulfillment must be at the next level. Therefore, success keeps getting moved forward to the next thing. So, no matter where you are, it’s like “What’s the next thing?”I challenge you when it comes to your audience, look at why you are really building that audience. What is the purpose behind the vanity metric? What is it that you think you need to feel fulfilled?While you’re on your journey, you’re collecting an audience, you’re bringing people into our world. And the truth is, we really don’t need as many followers as we think. We don’t need the virtual line around the corner. We don’t need the huge follower count. We don’t need a huge email list. What we do need is connection. We need to make sure we are tuned in with our audience, and we need to make sure we are tuned in with who we are, so we project the best self that we have.So, how much is enough? I guarantee it’s not anywhere near where you’re placing that metric. You can be fulfilled now, and you can look at the numbers. How many sales? How many paying clients do you need to reach the goal, to live the life and lifestyle that you want, to make the impact that you want?You don’t need a huge following. Instead, go deeper with fewer.

6 easy things to think about when it comes to your target audience!When it comes to getting to know our audience and really understanding who they are, a lot of times we overcomplicate it. Instead, keep it simple. Try using open-ended questions to connect with them: who, what, when, where, why and how!What are the things your audience is interested in? What are the things they desire? What are their pain points? Why are they seeking help? What’s going on in their lives right now? Why are they looking for a solution? How can you help them?Put yourself in their shoes and figure out what they’re experiencing. Imagine what their day-to-day life is like. That will give you a better understanding of what kind of solutions they are seeking and how you can better help them.Resources:Online Marketing PodSquad: Our Exclusive Community where we talk all things about Online Marketing!

What if I put together a marketing plan and nobody engages? What if I send this email and nobody opens it? What if I put a link out and nobody clicks it?What if we turn that narrative around? What if instead you just leaned in and something magical happened? Everything that has ever been created was once on the other side of “What if this is possible?”This is your chance to reprogram that question. It’s time to make “what if” a positive statement! What if I did this and everything changed?Resources: Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt 

What makes a high-converting headline? It’s important to remember that people buy from two different standpoints: the logical mind and the emotional mind. The logical buyers want to know all the details upfront and they want to make an informed decision. The emotional buyers are making decisions from the heart. They’re pulled by a story, a thought, a connection. How can you appeal to both? Mix it up, have fun and make sure you’re speaking to your entire audience! You’ve got this!
