Unpopular opinion: most marketing strategies today suck. They’re manipulative. They’re dishonest. They focus on selling over serving. And they’re just straight up sh*t. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
After being in the marketing sphere for years and learning all the “proven” techniques from the gurus 🤮, I’ve learned that most of the marketing strategies being taught today SUCK and made me feel like a sh*tty person when I implemented them.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
They involved lying (like only 10 spaces available when course registration is unlimited), or being super manipulative/fearful (you HAVE to do it my way or else you’ll be broke forever and lose your business!), and some of them just straight up sucked (like being told to focus on only one platform, only to put all my energy into it and see absolutely none of those “proven” results). ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So what are we to do? Here’s my solution and how I’ll be marketing my business going forward to actually feel GOOD about what I’m sharing:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
✅ Using a REALISTIC omnipresent marketing strategy to be on more than one platform at once without making content creation my entire life ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
✅Keeping my marketing HONEST. Only using “scarcity” tactics when they’re true (like when I can only take on a certain amount of clients)​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
✅RESPECTING my audience by not making false claims (none of that “make 6 figures with my course” BS)​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It's time to keep it honest, REAL, and a little less stressful on ourselves when we're doing all the things in our businesses!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What do you think about the marketing strategies that are getting pushed today? ​​​​​​​​

how to map out your goals so you can ACTUALLY achieve them...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
real talk - how many years have you spent writing down big goals, feel super motivated for a few weeks, & then completely abandon everything? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm raising my hand right along with you because this was (& still can be) an old habit that I fall into. It wasn't until after I stepped into a project manager role that I figured out exactly why I wasn't hitting these goals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wasn't planning out HOW to achieve them. I would write down all these lofty goals like "create a course", "rebrand my business", look at how beautiful they were in my journal, and then promptly shut the damn thing & never look at them again...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
no wonder I abandoned them in a few weeks. I f*cking forgot about them entirely. I just expected them to naturally fall into place, without figuring out the steps I needed to take to get there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's when I started treating my goals like a project I would manage, breaking down each goal into smaller goals and actual tasks I needed to take towards my goal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Combine that with the time management aspect of project management and BOOM - I was suddenly hitting my goals and making more progress than ever before!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now that I saw what this process could do, I decided it was time to share it with you, step by step, on how to use it in your own business! I'll be sharing all the details soon, but in the meantime...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
tell me in the comments: what are you dreaming of doing this year? work related or not- it doesn't matter! what are you aiming to do in 2022? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

did you miss me? because I missed you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
your girl is back! I am so excited to jump into 2022 and see what creations I can bring to life this year to help you grow your biz online!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the last few months of 2021 were quite the whirlwind, so for my own sanity, I had to take a step back from social media (yes, I'm spilling all the tea in a new episode on season 2 of the podcast this month), but I am beyond excited to come back stronger than ever and bring you even more inspiration and help when it comes to marketing your business online!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what do I have dreamed up for 2022? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

📆 mark your calendar for Nov. 26th - 5 brand new master classes are launching just for you! Here's a sneak peek:

🧲magnetic: a marketing master class {Stop chasing your clients on social and posting just to appease the algorithm. Instead, learn how to make your marketing so magnetic that your dream clients can't help but buy from you!}

♻️repurpose on purpose {Stop wasting your time creating mass amounts of content just to reach your audience. You're a full-time business owner, not a full-time content creator. You don't need to create content 24/7 to market your business online. What you need is a smart, time-saving repurposing strategy to get the most out of your content while spending less time creating it.}

📓content.crash.course {If your IG content isn't making you say "oh hell yes", then it's an oh hell no, and most likely isn't working to get you more followers, more engagement, or more paying customers (soo... why even waste your time on IG then?) Instead of deleting your account, let me show you how to create the on brand content you dream of that makes you look like the BOSS that you are!}

🥂the new year equation {The easiest way to set yourself up for the best year in business yet. Steal my new year equation to plug & play your way to your most successful year yet.}

💡the bold in biz collective {Your all-access pass to the entire collection of master classes (past, present, & future) in one easy-to-use membership. PLUS exclusive access to master classes that are no longer available for purchase. }

💌 3 email subjects that got me the most opens - EVER {save this so you can come back to these when you need them}

So, on average, my email open rate is 18-20%, which isn't bad for my niche, but after going through my reports recently, I found FOUR specific email subjects that doubled my open rates, all from a simple subject line change.

So what were they and why did they work? here's the breakdown:

📩"oops... I messed up in the last email" - This subject line had an open rate of 40%! Why the sudden spike? Because people wanted to know what I messed up! Did I give them bad advice? Did I do something outrageous and have to create a youtuber-style apology? No, I sent out an email the previous week with the wrong subject and wanted to correct it. Nothing major, but it got people clicking!

📩 "in case you missed it..." This one had a 40% open rate and is one of the few "fomo" subject lines I used. No one wanted to miss out on the info I was sharing!

📩"I totally messed up - here's the right link! Sorry!" - This one was my highest open rate of 57%! While the email was just a link correction for a dead link in a previous email, people again wanted to know what I messed up AND what link I was talking about!

So next time you have a juicy email that you want your list to open, give one of these subjects a try and see what your audience resonates with!

PS: don't forget to save this post so you can come back to these subject lines when you need them!
