In today’s episode I share how I tried out a “pay what you want” option on an offer, here’s how it went: Earlier this year I wanted to experiment with something new in my launch strategy for a brand new offer. Kajabi has a new “pay what you want” feature that allows your customer to enter what they want to pay at checkout. There’s no set price (you can set a minimum) and it’s up to the customer to choose what the value is.In this episode, I share what I learned from this experiment:Using this feature can be a good way to do a/b testingIt can be a way to collect data from your customers to help set an official price pointWhen I let my target group in this experiment pay what they wanted, they chose to pay an average of $15 for the offerI ignored the average people chose to pay because I saw the actual value and I increased and set the price two different times with great resultsNew customers might not see the value in a paid offer like your current customers doPeople see the value that you assign to the offerIt’s through your marketing that you’re attaching value to the amount you’re charging for the offerPick a price you can stand behind and work on your marketing messaging to show the worthResources & Links:The Online BlueprintStories that SellIG UniversityKajabi 30 day free trial + 20 free story templatesConnect with Mya:Follow on Instagram @myanicholJoin my email listCheck out my websiteNow on YouTubeMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the full show notes here: https://myanichol.com/2024/08/20/i-tried-out-a-pay-what-you-want-option-on-an-offer-heres-how-it-went-episode-81/ Mentioned in this episode:Join IG University!IGU

There’s been a common theme in my DMs recently with a lot of questions along the same line of “how do you make your messaging so magnetic”. Magnetic messaging means that people are drawn in and sold before you actually have the chance to sell to them. Are you feeling stuck to attract your ideal clients? I’ll share my movement piece, and how it embodies the values and the vision behind what I teach. In today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through simple tips to create copy that goes from boring and predictable to exciting and relevant, ultimately creating magnetic messaging that sells. These tips are: Create a movement piece that embodies the overarching idea of what it is that you teach. This needs to resonate deeply with your audience and the outcome they’re searching for. Infuse your copy with effective language that speaks directly to your ideal follower or ideal client’s aspirations or challenges to drive conversion Leverage Chat GPT to help you understand your ideal client’s thoughts (I share a prompt below to use).

I was recently listening to a training and the coach said “your greatest perceived weakness is what you need to lean into, it is actually your greatest strength.” That concept has stuck with me for weeks. In today’s episode, I will share when it finally clicked for me that your weakness is your greatest superpower. We don’t want to deny or suppress our weaknesses; we should be reframing our mindset and embracing the unique qualities that make us who we are. I encourage you to identify those areas that you think are your weaknesses and lean into them as they could be a catalyst for your transformation! In this episode, we cover: How this principle applies to you and your business Aspects of ourselves that we might consider our weaknesses and how they can be flipped into something useful in your business How we can see our “weaknesses” as opportunities for growth and transformation instead of barriers Resources & Links: Profit Mavens Summit 150 Free Hooks List Building 101 Manychat Stories that Sell IG University Kajabi 30 day free trial + 20 free story templates Connect with Mya: Follow on Instagram @myanichol Join my email list Check out my website Now on YouTube Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

I’m going to walk you through some difficult things I’ve been going through recently and how I’m navigating each of them.

Today’s episode is part four and the final episode of a series looking at successful businesses and taking the techniques they’ve used to become massively successful and thinking about how we can apply those to our businesses in the online space. In this episode I cover the Red Bull Effect: building community. Red Bull markets a lifestyle, not just a product, so we need to look at how to align our businesses to a lifestyle or a set of values that our target audience aspires to. Red Bull targets customers that live and enjoy high energy activities, sports, and adventure. Ultimately this makes Red Bull a symbol of vitality and excitement. In today’s episode I share how to embody the lifestyle you want your brand associated with so you’re a living, breathing example of what you teach and preach. I’ll dig deeper into these questions: How can you sell the lifestyle that your offers provide? What is the physical representation of the emotional aspect that you help people with? What stories can you tell that will create more community connection? How can you create a legacy for your brand? Does your life represent your message?

Today’s episode is part two of a four-part series looking at successful businesses and taking the techniques they’ve used to become massively successful and thinking about how we can apply those to our businesses in the online space. This episode covers the Amazon Effect: the fact that the quicker people get results, the more likely they are going to want to be repeat customers for a long time. This isn’t rooted in psychology but my personal take on Amazon’s success.

As I was thinking about what I wanted to share in the very last episode of the year, I thought this is a lot of pressure! What do I leave people with that’s super impactful?! After thinking about it for a few weeks, I decided to share two impactful questions. I’ve been asked these questions throughout my journey in business and these are the two questions that have really stuck with me. In today’s episode, I'll share two impactful questions to ask yourself: What do you want to be known for? Instead of always asking how you can make more money, ask yourself how can you make what you’re already making right now even easier?

Today’s episode is all about my recent failures in business. This is where we’re getting honest, real, raw, vulnerable….because you know, this is what this podcast is all about. I recorded this episode 7 times; talking about failures is so hard!

In this episode I run through four aspects of failure I’ve seen in my business recently and how I have changed, or are planning to change course: Relaunching my scalability program when I did Taking on way too many one-on-one clients while also running my mini-mind group Self sabotage showing up on Instagram lately Losing my focus with shiny objects instead of focusing on selling and focusing on what my income producing activities are Resources & Links: IG University Kajabi 30 day free trial + 20 free story templates Around the Clock Masterclass List Building 101 100 Hook Ideas - FREE GUIDE Connect with Mya: Follow on Instagram @myanichol Join my email list Check out my website Now on YouTube Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!
