PREPARATION Before we start, let s make sure we have a few things in place, like: 1) Who is your target audience (niche)? Be specific as it will help you attract the right audience for your business. What do they struggle with their pains and frustrations? 2) What is your mission? For example, fill this out: I help [Who] do [What] by [What]. 3) What is your value proposition? How do you help your customers solve their problems? If I can help my audience feel that [ ], then they will do [ ]. 4) Have you set some goals? For example, in the next 3 months, what profit do you want to generate from your business? How will you achieve them? By getting 500 email subscribers? By getting 100 of those subscribers sharing a giveaway? By enrolling 100 customers in your course?
PREPARATION CONTINUED Let s break it down this way and organize the sections that will be VERY IMPORTANT to your business core MARKETING MESSAGE! Your message should be your LANDING PAGE s MAIN HEADLINE! Target Market PAINS/FRUSTRATIONS GOALS/DESIRES DREAMS/ASPIRATIONS We help graphic designers cut website developers out of their business so they can retain much more of their revenue without having to learn any code in under 7 days I help caring parents double their child's confidence in 30 days so they can succeed in all areas of their life without becoming a target for bullying
DAY 1: PLAN YOUR SALES FUNNEL Answer these questions first: 1) What solutions are you providing with your product or service? 2) Who will benefit the most from these solutions? [Term: Target Market / Audience] 3) Where are these people hanging out locally and/or online? For example, which social media, forums, groups,? 4) How or what kind of information, product, or service can you provide to create curiosity (but not yet buy your product/service) for the majority of your audience? [Term: Lead Magnet] Day 1 Tasks: 1) Research other similar businesses providing similar product/service to yours to gain knowledge of their lead magnets. 2) Draw a funnel like the image on the left. Plan out what lead magnet you will use, what other added value you will offer after they sign up, what you will sell, and how you will take care of them during and after (in the funnel).
DAY 2: CREATE YOUR LEAD MAGNET You might believe that you don t know what a lead magnet is. But, you do. You might have even participated in one or a few to get free information or product that you wanted. The graphic on the left illustrates 21 types of lead magnets you can create. Whatever it is though, it always serves the same purpose >> to be used in exchange for contact information. For example, a golf academy might give away a free 5-point guide to improving your golf swing. A real estate agent might give away a free checklist for buying a new home. Day 2 Task: 1) Create your lead magnet.
DAY 2: LEAD MAGNET CONTINUED High Desire Webinars Videos Cheat Sheets Templates Hard to Consume Easy to Consume White Papers Free Consults Tool Kits E-Books Low Desire
DAY 3: SETUP YOUR EMAIL AUTORESPONDER A most important and yet overlooked lead generating activity is email marketing. Let an email autoresponder follow up with each optin/subscriber and let it start to build trust and relationship on autopilot. This is something that you can build once and forget it. Here s a simple trick for getting started Decide 3 problems that you were going to solve with your next 3 blog posts (yes, you will be writing blogs) related to your lead magnet and product/service. Create an introduction email about the giveaway. Add your 3-part problem solver. Then write one final email to tie it all in and always direct them to make an action (buy, make an apt, etc.). Once complete, you will have 5 emails that will go out to every new subscriber until the end of time without having to create another email. Day 3 Task: Setup your email autoresponder (for your lead magnet). Suggested Platform: GetResponse (30 Day Trial, no credit card req d)
DAY 4: SETUP YOUR LANDING PAGE Landing pages are the end-all-be-all of new prospect acquisition. A landing page is focused on one message and designed specifically to get your visitor to take action. [Term: Call to Action or CTA] A good landing page is clear, concise and holds the hands of visitors and basically directs them what to do. (see next page for template sample) A poor landing page is an unappealing information overload with lack of focus and maybe confusing to visitors. **Keep them focused on your offer.** Even without a functional and effective website, a landing page could be your one and only to generate the leads you need! In fact, one page website designs are based on landing pages but without the one message focus. An effective CTA is important. Day 4 Task: 1) Setup your landing page and tie in your email autoresponder form.
DAY 4: LANDING PAGE CONTINUED HOME LANDING PAGE: 1) Write down your big promise (essentially your MARKETING MESSAGE) 2) What will be your 3-4 main points / promises to go with your big promise? 3) What will your MAIN OFFER (lead magnet) be? 4) How should your visitors FEEL when they land on your site? 5) Which 4 trust icons will you use? 6) Which client(s) will you feature on your home page? (Or featured testimonial?) 7) Write a short bio about yourself with a good recent image that is relevant to your brand THANK YOU LANDING PAGE: 1) Thank your subscriber; walk them through next steps and what to expect; and give more value 2) Offer an upsell (optional)
DAY 5: CREATE YOUR WORDPRESS BLOG We say create a WordPress blog if you don t already have a website. Your website must be mobile responsive if not, it needs to be on your priority list to get done! YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY START GENERATING LEADS WITH A LANDING PAGE FIRST if your website is not ready! You will use the site/blog to offer more details but also to act as a platform for content that is engaging and that has benefit to your readers. Content/blog will be repurposed in many ways and is an integral part to: - Sending traffic to your landing page - Illustrating your brand and expertise - Increasing your expert level Day 5 Tasks: 1) Create your blog/site. Write at least 3 articles and post them on your blog (at the end of each article, include a CALL TO ACTION (content upgrade), i.e. promote your offer / landing page. 2) Submit your site to the search engines and various directories
DAY 6: SETUP SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS Social media creates brand awareness fast like no other. If you don t have social media accounts for your business, open them now to start branding yourself. You can use materials from your blog here. The look and feel of your social media accounts should be similar to your site and/or landing page for a quicker memory connection (and branding, of course). KNOWING WHERE your target audience hangs out is important here because where they hang out will dictate which social media accounts you will need to focus on Facebook? Instagram? Pinterest? LinkedIn? You don t need to be active in all of them! Focus on 1 to 2 only before adding anything else. Day 6 Task: 1) Depending on where your target audience hangs out, create the appropriate social media accounts. Repurpose your blog images, content on social media (with landing page link). 2) Create Pinterest Graphics for your blogs and send traffic to your blogs. (optional)
DAY 7: SETUP YOUR YOUTUBE ACCOUNT Video marketing is no longer an afterthought. It must be included in your marketing plan! **You can do FACEBOOK LIVES >> download videos and upload into YouTube!** If you use video strategically to accomplish specific business objectives, you ll see serious returns. Here are just a few examples: Adding a video to your website can increase the chance of a front page Google result by up to 53x.6 Using videos in email marketing has been shown to double clickthrough rates. 71% of marketers say that video conversion rates consistently outperform other marketing content. Audiences are 10x more likely to engage with video content embed, share, or comment more than text-only blogs. Day 7 Tasks: 1) Setup your YouTube account and design a nice header for it. 2) Create 3 videos (read what you wrote in the articles) and submit them on YouTube. At the end of the videos add a link to your landing page. Use hashtags (#) to include keywords in each video description.
DAY 8: CONTENT, CONTENT, CONTENT Content marketing is defined as a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience and, direct them to a callto-action. It s great for SEO (search engine optimization), too!
