How to Sell the Process, Not a Promise

Donna Ward

When you sell the process, your goal is to create and promote a consistent flow of great content focused on the experience your readers will have.

What Is a Marketing Process?

Your marketing process is a series of steps to identify potential clients’ problems and solutions.

Your clients are more informed today. If they want to buy something they can research it online. Searching for their own solution.

This is why as a business and marketer you’ll always want to focus on what they’ll be searching for as a solution that you can help with.

Use your own marketing processes to grow that ongoing relationship that puts your clients first. Your focus will be on growing that relationship with them. Developing confidence in your business integrity.

All to help encourage that long-term business promise with you. Which is what will help you ignite sales.

 You probably know that it’s critical to be focused on your readers’ benefits in business, right?

But how do you do that?

People buy from those they trust.

Once you ‘get’ how earning trust and building your credibility through content marketing works, you’ll…

  • Be listening more to your reader’s wants and needs.
  • Discovering their problems will be your number one goal so that you can supply the solutions they need and want from you.
  • Make sure that the content you create is something your readers can believe in and that offers guidance in a way that shows you understand their needs and can offer help.

This type of information will build trust in you as a solution provider and help you become the leader for more loyal readers and consistent revenue.

It all points to you being as attractive as you can to your readers and knowing how to target, write, and promote… Read more →

Engagement in Email Marketing

Donna Ward

We’ve all heard it, right? Engage your audience, online, and offline.

But, what is engagement in email marketing?

The big question I’ve heard is, does your audience really want to engage with your brand the same way they would a friend.

That is being social and sharing experiences. This is why you really need to understand more about your targeted audience.

There is the analytics of engagement in email marketing…

  • Open rate – doesn’t mean they are reading and engaging with your brand.
  • Click rate – a more reliable metric.

Defining Your Content With Your Monthly Theme

Want to get more work done and more quickly?

Constantly having to change hats and not having a plan really does stop the work that is fresh on your mind.

Create Your Social Media Content Strategy so you can use it over and over in:

  • Your blog
  • YouTube
  • Facebook Profile & Page Posts, and Group
  • Pinterest
  • Twitter
  • LinkedIn
  • Landing Page
  • Products – Freebies and Paid Offers
  • Marketing 
  • AND…all of this can be personalized for your email list.

Now you’ll have a lot of content to breakdown and

use in many different ways.

Content strategies aren’t just for blogs, websites, and product descriptions. Content stratgies are marketing and are critical for social media and your business success.

BUT…What are Content Strategy Themes for and do they work?

How about thinking of Content Strategy Themes:
As buckets of your ideal topics that your niche loves and that you are in business for sharing. Now you have a guide for creating and planning your content.

I know (really well!) that when you can sit, stay focused, and finish a task as you have planned you not only feel great about it… you get instant gratification!

Because when your content is up and ready you’re done and ready to move on. 

But the interruptions seem to be intentional because all of a sudden you remember something, like ‘uh-oh’ I need to post in my group, page, Instagram, etc, taking time away from your planned project.

When you have a system you follow, you can take a look at it being all done for the day, week, and even working into the month of growing your business, and it feels like such a release of the ‘have tos’ as you’re getting it done!

Making life and business so much more fun!

You can also get your pieces of content ready to go based on a theme.
