3 pillars of online marketing

{E79} 3 Pillars of Online Marketing

Stop Spinning Your Wheels Online! Does this feel all too familiar?

  • You feel like you’re spinning your wheels when it comes to your online marketing.
  • You know what you’re *supposed* to do, but there is no *real* plan and as a result you’re doing things randomly throughout the day.
  • You’ve created all your social media accounts, started blogging, and set up an email list…but nothing is really happening.
  • You’re constantly scrambling with what to say online and joining the latest social network in hopes that *this* will be the one.

Over the next episodes, I will be going over the 3 Pillars of Online Marketing so you can say good-bye to overwhelm and welcome more clarity, connections and clients in 2015.

Key Takeaways:

  • Platform: Get your website in order before you start sending people there. If you’re inviting people over, you’d make sure your house is in order, right? The same thing applies online. Before you start sending traffic to your website, you have to make sure you are ready to receive it! Do you have an opt-in in place? What about your follow-up strategy? Calls to action and auto-responders are important! And making sure you have the key information your prospects are looking for when they land on your site.
  • Presence: Once you’ve got your house in order, it’s time to figure out where your guests are hanging out online. You don’t have to be everywhere but you have to be in the right places.
  • Promotion: Once you’ve got your website ready and your engaging online with prospects, it’s time to ramp things up a notch and increase your visibility online. This is where Facebook ads, retargeting and webinars come in! And of course, making sales!

{E77} Fast Fix Fridays #24 How long should my webinar be?

This is a question I get asked often by my Webinar Kickstart clients, how long should my webinar be? You’ll see a lot of industry experts saying you need 90 minutes of content but I know how daunting this can be especially when you are first starting out. So my answer?

Start small and work your way up! You don’t need to fill up time just for the sake of it, focus on value first. Not to mention, there are many moving parts involved in a webinar (content, technology, promotion) that you don’t need the added pressure the first time around to create a 90 minute presentation. Start small and the second time around you can make it longer and add more content.

Now whether you should or shouldn’t do one is a good question because it seems like *everyone* is doing one these days. Sure, it’s a great way to get out there and reach a new audience and market your business, but you also have to consider that it takes time and plan for that. And think about what type of show you want to have- don’t just do another interview show because that’s what everyone else is doing!

What are your goals?
