You may not realize it and or fully appreciate this particular situation just yet. But there’s is definitely a steadily growing need for men & women with your particular expertise and skills entrepreneur.
Who can do either local speaking engagements. Or guest blogging. Or what’s quickly becoming one of my favorite ongoing marketing strategies. Go ole guest podcasting.
Because starting from scratch the right way most definitely matters. Doing it the hard way means you’re constantly grinding. On the fast track to burning out. On the other hand ladies & gentlemen. You may just be one or two proven tweaks away strategically generating some bank account filling marketing leverage.
Otherwise you and unfortunately a ton of others will constantly be working awfully hard. So do you prefer the hard or the easy way?
Why Not Start Implementing Some Proven Sales Growth Strategies?
Think about the gazillion of upcoming speakers and up and coming podcasters. You know the one’s I’m talking about. There are a ton of new podcasters who are proactively looking for guest podcasters to help serve their tribe.
Even though I’m definitely not a household name just yet. Even with this being the case. I’m still being invited to various entrepreneurial based podcasts. (Take a look at a recent screenshot image directly below.)
Do This If You’re Really Serious About Constantly Improving Your Sales Growth Rates!
Think about how many newbie speakers. Who are primarily speak on the local level. They (or you!) get invited to do some talks around your local area.
By in large. The vast majority of them give their talk. It may or may not be recorded by the main sponsor(s) of the event. If it’s not. They give their talk. Shake a few hands. And maybe they get approached by a few in attendance.
About possibly speaking at one of their upcoming events. Sadly 90-97% of these local speakers. May not even have their own self hosted website and or self hosted blog. (WordPress or otherwise.)
Which means they also may not realize. They can and definitely should be constantly building their very own opt in email list. Whether they have a traditional website or not. 😀 (Think self hosted lead capture pages. Built using your free or paid email service provider.)
(One of the reasons why I (and you!) Definitely should constantly embed the links to your guest podcasting or guest blog posts links in your content. Is because you never, ever know who is or soon will be reading your content. And they or they’re booking agent might be reading your content.
And they can invite you to be a guest on their podcast, blog or to speak at their virtual summit etc.
The Real Challenge Is Not Whether You’re Literally Starting From Scratch! (It’s How You Strategically Leverage Being In That Particular Position!)
As an incredibly simple marketing tweak. Which a semi newbie local speaker could and definitely should inexpensively test.
During or at the tail end of your talk. Ask by a show of hands. How many in attendance either have relevant podcasts or blogs?
And ask “how” many of them feel your particular set of skills and expertise would be a fit and of benefit for their particular audience/tribe.
No matter how many or how few actually raise their hands. You know those individual(s) or organizations are definitely interested in having you either be a future podcast guest. Or write future guest blog posts for them.
Think about how brain dead simple this particular proactive marketing strategy is. (And notice it’s definitely not about how large or small the local audiences are.) For this particular strategy to be or become very effective.
And make this an ongoing marketing strategy. For each local speaking engagement you participate in from now on.
Now ‘s Definitely The Time To Be Or Become Proactive!
You should also ask the crowd. How many in attendance are definitely interested in some advance, one on one, more expensive, hands on, specific help of some kind?
If so, immediately direct them to your fully functional. Customized lead capture page. By offering some type of problem solving lead magnet. (Which initially could be some type of extremely time sensitive discount individual or group discount coupon. Only available to your opt in email subscribers only. 😎
You should also inexpensively test by asking the crowd. How many are definitely interested in some advanced, extremely high end coaching or consulting package.
And let them know you have 3 or X number of super discount, one on one consulting/coaching packages available. Where those who sign up with you today! (Meaning before you actually leave the event.) And provided they’re also an opt in email subscriber. 😀 They get the biggest savings.
Hopefully you can better appreciate why starting from scratch the right way. Definitely matters. Don’t you agree?
