    Measure marketing efforts the right way

    enJuly 13, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • Targeting high-value clients for better business resultsFocus on knowledge workers with expertise and market value to reach high-income clients. Demonstrate the value you provide and communicate it effectively to create significant value for them.

      To achieve better results in a business, especially in consulting or service industries, it's crucial to target the right customers. The internet can lead us to reach out to anyone, but not everyone can buy. To find the right customers, consider targeting knowledge workers with expertise and market value, such as subject matter experts or problem solvers. These clients often have high incomes and can afford the value you provide, whether it's information, coaching, or short-term consultation. By focusing on high-value clients, you can create significant value for them, even if the numbers seem large, such as over $300 million in new business or almost $800,000 in cost savings. However, it's important to note that demonstrating this value can be challenging for smaller transactions or audiences with lower income levels. Additionally, inflation-adjusted numbers can inflate the perceived value. Therefore, it's essential to focus on current and future value of money. In summary, to achieve better business results, target high-value clients, demonstrate the value you provide, and communicate it effectively to your audience.

    • Providing value and setting barriers to entry for high-income clientsTo build a successful business, focus on providing value, setting appropriate barriers to entry, and effectively reaching high-income clients through various channels using tools like Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager.

      Building a successful business and reaching high-income clients requires careful sifting and sorting of potential customers. The speaker emphasizes the importance of having a library of materials to solve problems and providing value to clients, but also acknowledges the need to set barriers to entry to prevent non-serious inquiries. He suggests using tools like Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to gather audience demographics and reach potential clients through various mediums, such as email and postal addresses. The speaker also highlights the challenge of reaching high-income clients, who may not be easily found online, and the importance of persistence and reaching out to them through multiple channels. In summary, the key to success is to focus on providing value, setting appropriate barriers to entry, and using tools to effectively reach and engage with high-income clients.

    • Understanding audience demographics and adjusting content accordinglyReviewing and targeting content towards the actual buying audience can help ensure the success and growth of a YouTube channel.

      Understanding your audience demographics and adjusting content accordingly is crucial for reaching potential buyers and maximizing the impact of your YouTube channel. The speaker shared concerns about a significant shift in their audience age demographic, with a decline in viewers aged 45 to 65 and an increase in younger viewers aged 25 to 35. This demographic shift could impact the channel's content and target market, as the older demographic tends to consist of high-income professionals, business owners, and executives with a strong knowledge base, while the younger demographic is just starting out and may not yet be in positions to make significant purchasing decisions. To ensure the channel remains effective, the speaker emphasized the importance of consistently reviewing and targeting content towards the actual buying audience. This may involve revisiting old content and adjusting it to better resonate with the desired demographic, rather than adapting to a perceived audience based on analytics alone. Ultimately, understanding and catering to the specific needs and pain points of your target audience can help ensure the success and growth of your YouTube channel.

    • Building meaningful connections with potential clientsFocus on reaching potential paying customers offline, understand target audience, use analytics tools, collect contact info, and cultivate contact list to grow business.

      Building meaningful connections with potential clients is crucial for business success, especially for consultants. While social media can be a valuable tool for reaching a large audience, it's essential to focus on those who have the potential to become paying customers. This means getting them offline and building a relationship through personalized communication, such as email or phone. Having a clear understanding of your target audience and using analytics tools to validate it is essential. However, if your online presence doesn't attract enough traffic or have adequate analytics tools, it may be necessary to collect contact information to gain a better understanding of your audience. Building and cultivating a contact list takes time and effort, but it's worth it to ensure you're reaching the right people and ultimately growing your business. Even if your videos or content don't go viral, as long as they're reaching your target demographic, it's a step in the right direction.

    • Effective marketing through audience engagement and targetingUnderstand audience demographics and trends, make offers to encourage interaction, and identify valuable solutions for target audience to build a successful business

      Effective audience engagement and targeting are crucial for successful marketing campaigns. The speaker in this discussion emphasizes the importance of making offers to potential clients to encourage interaction and gather valuable information. He also highlights the significance of understanding audience demographics and trends to optimize marketing efforts. However, it's important to note that not all audience members need to be retained, and different platforms may attract distinct customer types. For instance, Rumble may bring in high-value conservative customers, while YouTube may have a broader, less statistically accurate audience. Ultimately, the speaker's goal is to identify and engage with individuals in his target audience to provide them with valuable solutions and build a successful business.

    • Understanding Audience Demographics and BehaviorsTo effectively target and serve audience segments, marketers must consider age, intent, and income level. Younger audiences may lack financial means or understanding, older audiences may require marketing improvement, and high-income professionals may not be on social media.

      While analytics tools can be helpful in measuring marketing efforts, it's important not to be overly reliant on them. The age of an audience member can be a significant factor in determining their potential value as a customer. Younger audiences, such as those under 25, may not have the financial means or understanding of the value of cultivating an income stream. Older audiences, such as those over 45, may have valuable knowledge and experience but may not recognize it in the marketplace and require improvement in marketing and communication skills. Additionally, it's essential to consider the intent behind an audience's engagement with content. If they're primarily seeking entertainment rather than advice, adjustments may be necessary. Lastly, high-income professionals are less likely to be found on social media platforms, as they are often busy with work. By understanding these audience demographics and behaviors, marketers can more effectively target and serve their audience segments.

    • Effectively reach and engage with your audience by providing value and understanding their needsProvide value to dedicated viewers, understand their needs through marketing platforms, and engage with them through coaching calls or sessions.

      High value individuals are not heavily present on the internet for professional purposes, except for marketers or those promoting their businesses. To effectively reach and engage with your audience, you need to provide value and avoid being overly entertaining. Use marketing platforms like email lists to gather information about your audience and become an expert on their needs. Engage with your audience through group coaching calls or one-on-one sessions to understand their questions and better serve them. Remember, it's the dedicated 8-10% of viewers who make it to the end of your content that truly matter.

    • Importance of catering to a specific audienceFocus on a specific audience and tailor content for increased sales and leads. Don't let analytics define your audience, rely on research and data to determine target demographic. Consistency in messaging is key to avoiding confusion.

      It's essential for content creators and marketers to focus on a specific audience and cater to their unique needs, rather than trying to appeal to the masses. The speaker shares his experience of being penalized online for serving a niche audience, but emphasizes the importance of understanding and targeting buyers to increase sales and leads. He advises against letting analytics define your audience and encourages marketers to instead rely on their own research and data to determine their target demographic. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of consistency in messaging and avoiding frequent shifts in direction, which can confuse the audience. Overall, the key takeaway is to identify and serve a specific audience with tailored content, rather than trying to appeal to everyone.

    A $20k a Month Podcast, Is It Possible?
    Do you have a high-traffic website but no revenue to show for it? That's typical for podcasts, YouTube channels, and content websites.

    You must do something different to earn $20,000 a year or more. That's what this episode is about. How to add additional streams of income to any periodic audio or video podcast.

    The office is so busy lately that I cannot get through a podcast without an inbound call. That's a great place to be. But not the kind of distraction I need.

    Triple Conversion Cleaning Up Content The Right Way

    Triple Conversion Cleaning Up Content The Right Way
    Stop wasting time chasing Google Search updates. Most websites can't convert traffic even if search engines send you traffic.

    Stop deleting content on a hunch chasing rankings. Instead, use a scientific approach that triples conversion.

    You're in the right place if you want double digital conversion rates and more cash flow from your business website.

    This approach looks at extracting best practices for lead and sales conversion. Then turns those best practices into better evergreen content.

    Evergreen content helps you draw consistent visitors and conversion. You'll have more predictable results for your business website.

    Unfortunately, many marketing managers choose to delete content rather than improve it. They look for quick wins without understanding how conversion rate optimization works.

    Copywriters and marketers can provide a valuable service in rewriting poor-performing content. This is value-added because you understand targeting.

    More importantly, as conversion rates increase, so can cash flow. Documenting best practices makes new content creation more predictable.

    I'm looking forward to your questions in the comments.

    Social Media Strategies That Silence Skeptics

    Social Media Strategies That Silence Skeptics
    How many times have you watched someone conquer one of your most difficult challenges with relative ease? I'm going through this experience right now while following Alan Rudnick's activities on social media. Thanks to his involvement on sites such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as frequent blogging, Alan is often featured in major media and has even secured a multi-book deal with a publisher. And get this ... he's not a conventional social media "guru." In fact, he doesn't even work in what many would consider a traditional business. He's the pastor at the First Baptist Church of Ballston Spa in Ballston Spa, New York. How cool is that? I repeatedly hear business owners and entrepreneurs claim social media won't work for them. Reasons range from the standard "My prospects are different." to "My industry doesn't lend well to social media." But Alan's achievements prove these theories wrong. During my 42-minute interview with Alan, you'll discover several social media strategies that silence skeptics, as well as ... • The best defense against falling into "social media fatigue" and how to ensure automated tools don't cause you to lose your personal touch with followers. • The surprisingly simple key to finding the most beneficial people to interact with on social networking sites (and why prospects aren't the only people needing your attention). • How leveraging a certain type of news event in your blog posts can help you boost readership and attract inquiries from major media. • The surest way to get a quick response from almost anyone you follow, including industry experts and well-known celebrities. • An easy approach to establishing yourself as an authority (and therefore a source media members want to interview) on global news topics. • Why having a large audience on social media can sabotage your success. • And much more.
