Running A Successful Online Business
I'm Cici, CEO and Founder of The Six Figure Chick!
I teach entrepreneurs how to get out of their own
way on social media, share their gifts, monetize
their skills and make being social less scary. In
the last 3 years, I have created a social media
platform of over 350,000 followers and over
$750,000 in sales. Instagram is B.A.E. Building An
Empire.

A/ B Testing-
A/ B Testing is also known as split testing and is a method used by
entrepreneurs to determine what elements are

entrepreneurs will use this method on sales pages, email
campaigns, and even social media posts to determine
effectiveness.

your online business. Systems include onboarding new customers,
mailing list funnels, ongoing email campaigns, social media
scheduling, payment collection, etc.

vatar
A

This is also known as ICA, Ideal Client Avatar. An avatar is a

representation of the type of clients you want to attract.

6
 How To Create Your Avatar:

What is their name?

How old are they?
Kids or Not?
Married, Single, It's Complicated?
Location?
Education?
Hobbies?
Income Level?
Favorite Social Media Pages?
Video or Photos?
Early Bird or Night Owl?
Splurge Spender or Researcher?
Why do they follow you?
What are 3-5 pain points your brand or service solves for them?
Favorite Magazines?

7
 Last Book They Read?

What platforms do they follow you on?
What attracted them to your brand?
Why would they share your page?
What about your brand would connect them emotionally?
How much will they spend with you?

Your avatar is who you are trying to reach or help with your
products, services, and offerings. Having this person clearly
defined makes it easier to create a consistent brand voice and
attract the clients you envision.

8
 B
Backend Systems
Backend systems are the programs and apps that run your business
behind the scenes. They are necessary for your business and must be
maintained so there isn't a breakdown in communication or delivery
for your clients.

Bit.ly
Bit.ly is a website that creates shortcut links. Personally, I refer to
it as link makeup. It allows you take long website addresses or links
that your client would never remember and turn them into easy to
manage words or phrases. The site is free and currently there isn't a
limit to how many bit.ly links you may have.

9
 B
Three things to keep in mind about bit.lys are:
1. Currently, they are permanent, so once they are created even if you
hide them they are still registered.
This is important especially for bit.lys that may contain Paypal button
sales links. To disable pricing you would need to delete the Paypal
button in your account so that it doesn't redirect or update to the
correct pricing if it is an ongoing product.

2. Bit.lys are case sensitive, so be sure to let your audience know if

you have any letters or words that should be capitalized.

3. Don't use the generic code that is generated when you create a new
bit.ly. It defeats the purpose of creating an easy to remember link
when you still give your audience a link with numbers and letters. It's
a missed branding opportunity and can decrease the chance of your
audience clicking on the links!

10
 B
Blogging

Blogging is a shortened form of weblog. For the online business

owner, it's a great way to draw attention to your website, build
credibility, and create value that will always be available to your
audience. A blog can be a stand-alone site or a part of your main
website. Blogging doesn't have to be only in written form. Podcasts,
Youtube videos, Periscope, Facebook Live, etc. are all great ways to
build outside of the traditional blog.

Brand Ambassador
Brand ambassadors can be hired to represent your brand in ongoing
campaigns. This works especially well for clothing boutiques, hair
products (including the hair), food, etc. Compensation can vary,
some will represent your brand in exchange for free products or
press, while others may have set fees.

11
 B
How To Choose A Brand Ambassador:

1. Determine why they are needed. Do you need more exposure, to

build customer loyalty, to tap into new audiences, or to have a
consistent face to your brand?

2. Who represents your ideal client?

3. How much or how are you prepared to compensate them?

Monetary, Exposure, Free Products?

4. How often will they be required?

5. Will travel or photo shoots be required? If so how will it be

handled?

12
 B
Brand Identity
Your brand identity includes all of the visual elements of your brand.
These themes include colors, design, your logo, your name and
symbols associated with you.

Brand Voice
Your brand voice is determined by the terms, wording, and copy style
you use to display difference aspects of your brand. This is shown in
your captions on social media, your newsletters, your posts, basically
anywhere you have written communication with your audience.

Branding
Branding is the process you use to set yourself apart from others in
your market. It identifies you and establishes your unique aspects.

13
 B
Break-even
Breaking even is when your business is neither profiting or losing
money. It's a balance that helps you determine if your business is
creating enough in sales to cover expenses and when you reach
profits.

To Calculate:

How much have you made in sales?

How much does it cost to operate your business?

For example:
$5000 in sales
$2500 to operate business (taxes, fees, etc.)
2500 is your break even number everything beyond is your profit.
$

14
 C
Call To Action
A call to action is a phrase used to request an action from your
audience. Call to actions include sharing, reposting, visiting, tagging a
friend, etc. They are used to draw engagement from your audience.

Call to Actions Can Include:

Share my post.
Tag a friend.
Visit my site.
Comment below.
Share your story.
Let me know what you think.
Follow this page.
Check out.
Head over to my blog.
Tell me what you're thinking.

15
 C
Click Bait
Click bait is a practice used to trick a visitor to click links on websites
or pages to increase traffic but doesn't deliver the content that is
advertised or stated.

Content Creation

social media material, emails, newsletters, etc. Content is anything
that will be used in your business.

to sign up for your mailing list. These include checklists, eBooks,
guides, etc.

Conversions

desired action. These actions include sales, sign-ups, sharing
information, etc.

Convert/Conversion Rate
Convert rates are based on the percentage of interactions that convert
into a sale. The average sales convert rate for an online business is
around 2-3%. The conversion rate is influenced by many things such as
traffic, sales copy, pricing, audience, industry, and other factors.

17
 C
Copy
Copy is any written material used for your business. This is everything
from blog posts to social media captions, tweets, ads, promotions.

Copy write Vs. Copyright

Copyrighting is a legal term meaning to protect your written material. A
copy writer is a person who writes copy for your business. A copy writer
is often hired for sales pages, landing pages, ads, marketing and
promotions. They are meant to help increase conversions.

Cost Per Click (CPC)

You will see this term in your marketing efforts most often with
Facebook or Instagram ads. Post per click is a way to determine if your
ads are performing. Depending on your budget a higher CPC means you
are not receiving the desired traffic.

18
 C
CPC Examples:
$25.00 Budget
46 Clicks= $0.54 per click

$25.00
146 Clicks=$0.17 per click

Ideally within your budget you want more clicks at the lower price for
the most exposure.

CRM
CRM is Customer Relationship Management and refers to any of the
systems you use in your business to analyze and improve customer
service. These systems include email, chat, follow up, direct mail
campaigns, etc. The information gathered can be used to enhance
customer relations, track spending habits, as well as document and
resolve ongoing issues.

19
 C
Customer Vs. Client

Customers are generally thought of as anyone who buys your products or

services. Often they may be one-time purchasers. Clients tend to invest
more, both in time and money. Customers can become clients and build
brand loyalty.

What are one time purchases a customer can make from your business?

What are long term investment products clients can make from your
business?

20
 D
Discovery Calls

Discovery calls or sessions are used to determine if a service provider is

the right fit for a potential client. These are normally 15-20 minutes and
cover the basics of what to expect, to answer any questions the client
may have before purchasing and to outline the process.

Common Questions Include:

What benefits will the client receive from working with you?
What are pain points your services will help ease?
Why hasn't the problem been solved before?
What actions have they already taken for success?

21
 E
Earned Media

Earned media is also user generated content. This shows up in the form of
reposting, sharing, testimonials, etc. Earned media is when your audience
sings your praises without you having to ask, and generally is more trusted
as a true indication of a client's interaction with your business and the
quality of your products/services.

eBook
Electronic version of your book, these are normally delivered in PDF format
and can viewed on various devices.

eCourses
Electronic courses that can be delivered via teaching platforms such as
Kajabi, Thinkific, Coursecraft, Teachable and etc. eCourses provide
concentrated material either in drip format or all at once in self-study
format.
22
 E
Email Marketing
Email marketing is done via mailing list providers such as Aweber,
Convertkit, Infusionsoft. Constant Contact, Active Campaign, Mailchimp,
and others. A mailing list is a way to consistently communicate with your
audience.

Engagement

How your audience interacts with your business. In the social media world
engagement is gold. The more your audience interacts with you the more
likely you are to build bonds that will turn them into buyers and
supporters.

23
 E
eProducts

Electronic products. This includes:

Webinars
Virtual Workshops
eBooks
eCourses
Online Meetings
Virtual Coaching

Evergreen Products
Products that will remain the same such as eBooks that teach a specific
skill or classes.

24
 E
Exit Strategy
Your plan of escape from the corporate world. Your exit strategy is your
detailed blueprint on how, when, with what resources, transitions, etc. that
you need to make the leap into full time entrepreneurship.

A few questions are:

How much do you need to make to replace your full time income?

How will you structure your schedule?

How will you prepare family and friends?

What's your exit date?

25
 F
Flat Lay
Flat lays are a version of stock photography that can be staged to display
products. You can also use them as backgrounds and with brand colors they
can become part of your theme.

26
 F
Freemiums

Freemiums are content upgrade. You provide something free in exchange

for an email address.

Effective Freemiums Include:

Free Trials
Samples
Free Chapters
Mini Guides
Free Challenges
eBooks
Videos
Podcasts

27
 H
Hashtags

Hashtags are a form of free advertising and marketing on social media

platforms. They are used to group like content. With custom hashtags you
can build user generated content while creating a gallery of your images.

The best tags will vary based on what audience you want to reach. Its
always a good idea to have a designated tag for your business/brand,
something that collects all of your business related photos together.
Someone who may not follow you yet may come across the tag and be in
interested in finding out more. With a collection of photos in the same tag,
you have a chance to present a cohesive look into your brand. If all of your
posts are not necessarily business related it filters out the unneeded
ones.

28
 H
Hashtags

To determine which ones work best for your business/brand take some time to do Instagram research.
Sift through popular tags that are related to your brand, choose some that are popular but not overly
so.
Choose unique ones, and when all else fails create your own.
Hashtag Audit:
1)What top 5 tags are you using currently if any? Write the tag below and search it on IG, how many
pics are under it?
#____________________# of Posts___________________
#______________________# of Posts___________________
#____________________# of Posts__________________
#_________________# of Posts____________________

2)Are any of your pics standing out in the top posts or in the most recent tags?
How can you define them more so that you stand out but still get the use of a popular tag?
For Example-
#entrepreneur has over 10 million tags, my target audience isn't every entrepreneur so I added female
to my tag. #femaleentrepreneur and #femaleentrepreneurs have
300,000 and 66,000.

Take your top 5 and add words to define them and still get your great exposure.

29
 I
Influencer

An influencer is a user on social media who has established

credibility in a specific industry. A social media influencer has
access to a large audience and can persuade others by virtue of
their authenticity and reach. Influencers are different from brand
ambassadors in that their opinions are assumed to be more
authentic. Influencers can be paid or may choose to present
brands to their audiences that they personally like.

30
 L
Landing Page

A landing page is the first page your audiences sees when clicking
on your website links. These are normally linked to sales or sign up
pages.

Launch
A launch is the process you go through to release a new product.
Launches are normally tied to eCourses and products that have
higher price points. A launch sequence includes a launch strategy,
launch timeline, audience building techniques, freebies to entice
new people to join and often a mailing list sequence.

Lead Magnet
lso known as freemiums, lead magnets are used to catch the
A

attention of potential clients.

31
 L Leads
Leads are potential sales contacts, people who have expressed
interest in your service or products.

Livestream
Livestreaming is the most recent trend in marketing and is quickly
growing. Youtube Live, Facebook Live, Periscope. Snapchat, and
most recently Instagram Live are all platforms that utilize the
livestream feature. Live stream allows to your business to establish
bonds with your audience, show your authentic self, and give your
viewers a chance to build loyalty.

32
 MMarket
The people you will sell to.
Target Vs. Niche
Though these two are often used in place of each other, Target and
Niche are not the same. Your TARGET market includes all of your
potential customers, people who may purchase from you. This
should be based on research conducted before beginning your
business and should consider all of the current trends that would
affect a buyer's interaction with your business..

A NICHE market is your specialty within the target market. It's who
will be attracted to your "special sauce" . For example, if you are
selling shoes, anyone who buys shoes would be your target market,
you may even narrow it down to women shoe buyers. If your
specialty is custom made shoes for women sizes 6-10, those would
be your in niche market and where you would focus your efforts.

33
 M
Masterclass
A masterclass is a more in depth class that tends to be longer with
more specific strategies and action steps than a webinar.
Masterclasses are often focused on one subject or skill set and are
priced at a higher rate.

Mastermind
A collective of like minded individuals that brainstorms, offers
feedback, accountability, and support to their peers. Masterminds
are not group coaching or classes unless directly specified.

Mentor
Mentoring in short, is the transfer of knowledge, skills and
experience. This is often a free exchange and should not be confused
with coaches. Mentors do guide, but in most cases, they share their
knowledge whereas a coach is a paid relationship. Coaches evaluate,
create action plans and hold you accountable.

34
 M/N
Monetize
Creating profit from your skills, talents, products and services.

Networking
Interacting with others within your industry to exchange
information or collaborate in efforts to grow your business and
brand.

Niche Market
A defined, targeted area of the larger market based on clear needs,
prices and offerings. Niche markets are often product focused.

35
 O OBS
Open Broadcast Software. OBS is a program used to broadcast on FB
Live and most recently Periscope Producer. It allows you to broadcast
from your computer to live streaming apps. It includes enhanced
features such as adding countdowns, scrolling marquees,
backgrounds, etc. to a live broadcast.

Opt-In
A term used when someone is given the option to receive email.
Typically, this is some sort of mailing list, newsletter, or advertising.
Emails that are sent without this permission are considered Spam.

Onboarding
Think of Training Day, onboarding gives new members of your team
and often clients all of the necessary skills, tools, and information
needed to effectively work in and with your brand.

36
 O/P
Outsourcing
Outsourcing frees up time and in many instances costs by allowing
outside companies or persons to perform tasks, manufacture, create,
or provide services that would normally be performed by yourself or
within your brand.

Pain Points
A pain point is a problem, real or perceived, that entrepreneurs use to
create opportunities for themselves by creating solutions for them.
Pain points will drive what type of products you create, services you
offer, and how you choose to market and advertise to your desired
client. Pain points are why clients will choose you over other brands.

37
 P
Passive Income
Income that is received regularly and requires little to no effort to
maintain is considered passive. This type of income does require
initial effort to create such as writing an eBook, hosting a webinar,
etc. but once created should easily convert to sales with minimum
efforts.

Types of Passive Income:

Writing An eBook
Becoming an Affiliate
Drop shipping from an eCommerce site
Selling Ad space on your website.
Hosting a webinar or virtual workshop.
Guides and Templates

38
 P
Periscope
Periscope is a live stream app that you may use to grow your brand.
One of the advantages of Periscope is that it tends to be more realistic
which appeals to a larger audience. Periscope allows you broadcast
live, offering a "behind the scenes" view of your brand. You can also
informally teach, offer Q&A sessions, and just in general allow your
audience to connect to your brand. Video marketing is growing quickly
and platforms such as Periscope increase the rate you are able to
convert your audience with the know, trust, and like factor.

Podcasts
Podcasts are digital audio files that can be downloaded from the
internet. Podcasts are often series, installments, or shows.

39
 P
Product Tiers

Creating different levels of offerings for various price points. Product

tiers can be used in your sales funnels to lead to your higher end
products. I recommend three levels for your price points.

Level One- Entry level or foundation products, $0-$50

Level Two- Medium to Higher End Products, requires basic skills, and
foundation with your brand. $51-$197
Level Three- Premium Products: $297+ suited for long term investors
in your business or specific needs.

For example:
Graphic Designer:
Level One: Free Guides and DIY Templates
Level Two: Workshops or Webinars to teach design skills
Level Three: One on One Design Work
40
 P/R
Profit Margin and ROI

Once expenses and costs to run your business are calculated, the
remaining amount if any is your profit margin.

ROI

Return on investment, out of what you spend to create or release a

product, the profit amount is the return on investment.

41
 S
Sales Calls Vs. Consults
A sales call is meant to result in a purchase or sign up, whereas a
consult call is already paid for and you are providing targetted
information based on the nature of the call.

Sales Copy:
Sales copy is used anywhere you are promoting your product such as in
ads or promos.

Sales Funnels:
Sales funnels are how you take your client from interest to purchase.
Your sales funnel includes all of the steps from the product thought to
release and then promotion.

43
 SSEO-
Search Engine Optimization
In tech terms the SEO is process of maximizing the number of visitors
to a particular website by ensuring that the site appears high on the
list of results returned by a search engine. Basically, it's making sure
your page ranks high in Google and other search engines to drive more
traffic to your site.

Shopping Carts
Shopping carts are the platforms you use on your site to collect your
payments. Some common carts are:
Paypal
Stripe
Shopify
Squarespace
SamCart
Clickfunnels.
44
 S
Squeeze Page
A squeeze page is a type of landing page used to grow your mailing
lists. Squeeze pages are a bit more aggressive and typically lock
content if you don't provide an email address.

Strategy Session
A strategy session is devoted to creating a specific outline based on
the goals and needs of your business.

45
 T/U Traffic

Traffic is all visits to your site, social media pages, and clicks to your
links.

Unique Selling Position

USP is what makes your brand different and what sets you apart from
your competitors. Many brands offer the same or similar products so
your USP is a determining factor a potential clients considers before
making a purchase.

46
 V/W VA
A VA is a virtual assistant. As most entrepreuers are solo business
owners, VAs are able to help with administrative and creative duties.

VIP Day
A VIP Day is a one-day coaching designed to target to address a specific
problem/challenge for your client. It can be delivered in-person, virtually
over the phone, via Skype or Zoom. It typically consists of a series of
working sessions during which you, as the coach, would break down the
solution into digestion chunks with exercises in between. VIP Days are
normally 4-6 hours.

Webinar
Webinars are online classes generally hosted through a webinar platform
such as Anymeeting, WebinarJam, Webinar Ninja, Zoom, etc.

Tools
&
Tips

47
 What Should Every Website
Include?
Your website is your virtual home. Include the following pages:

About Me -
Your About Me page is often one of the most visited pages on the
site and will give new/potential clients an idea of who you are and
what your brand is about. Keep this page updated with current
photos and your brand mission.

Home Page -
Your home page can be a directory for your site. It should include up
to date information as well as what's going on with your brand and
offerings.

48
 What Should Every Website
Include?
Shop/Products-
Your product catalog for current and upcoming products.

FAQS
The top 10-20 questions that your business consistently receives.
This makes it easier to qualify new clients and provides a reference
point.

Customer Feedback/Testimonials
Who's singing your praises? Highlight reviews, feedback, and
testimonials.

Press
Features on other sites, in print, radio, T.V., etc. should be featured
here.

49
 What Should Every Website
Include?
Contact
What's the best way to contact you or customer service? Include a
form here for pertinent questions to avoid back and forth.

Freebies/Landing Page/Announcement Bar/Pop-Ups

This will vary based on the design of your site. These will point to
your freebies, mailing list opt-ins, content upgrades, etc.

Privacy Policy
How is a customer's information handled online?

Terms, Conditions, Refund Policy

This is especially important for digital products, be sure to have it
listed how items are received, time frames, and refund policy.

50
 Brand Vs. Branding
A brand is what others think about your business and the
products/services you provide. It's the customer service
experience, feedback, interactions (good and bad) related to your
brand. You do not have direct control of what they will think of your
business, but you can improve impressions with targeted branding.

Branding is an action. It's the ongoing process that helps the world
see your business in its best light. It is how you will interact,
provide customer service, display your product, visuals,
engagement, etc.

You do not want to create a brand that looks great on paper or on

the site, but suffers from customer neglect.

51
 You must build a solid foundation for your business to create a
brand that will not only bring customers in but keep them coming
back. Ideally you want clients referring your business to others and
being a great representation of your brand.

Remember: a customer that has a great experience may keep it to

themselves, but one who has a bad one will tell EVERYONE.

52
How to Create Your Brand Mission
What is your brand's mission?
One of my favorite quotes is " A business that only makes money is
a poor business indeed." To me that means, while profit it definitely
a factor, what else does your brand bring to the table? That's where
you will find your business's lasting factor and your unique way to
stand out in the market,
Why did you start your brand and what is its purpose?
If you could define your brand in one word, what would it be?
What does this mean to you?
Write 3 sentences that sum up your brand:
1:
2:
3:
Does your current marketing display these items to your customer?
What is my brand's mission?
What makes my brand unique?

53
5 KEYS TO YOUR ONLINE BRAND
PURPOSE:
Why have you decided to build your business? What need does it serve? Who
will you help?

PRODUCTS:
What products or services will fill this need? How?

PRESENTATION:
How will you display your products to your ideal client? How will this appeal to
this particular client base?

PRESENCE:
How will you make an impact on your chosen platform? How will you stand out?

 10 Ways to Grow Your Brand
# 1 - Show Respect to your brand.
Treat your brand/business as a priority. Just as you would any other
engagement. Make it a point to show up, keep on task, and
prioritize.

# 2 - Nurture Your Brand By Investing In It.

This can be time, energy, or knowledge. Your brand will not grow
without consistent efforts.

# 3 - Be Patient.
Whether this is your first business or your fifth, respect where you
are and allow yourself the room to grow,

55
 # 4 - Avoid Comparisons.
Every business will grow differently. Social media can make it easy
to compare where you are against someone else's progress. Stories,
work ethic, methods, and so many other factors vary.

# 5 - Be Faithful.
Too many give up on progress due to the time it takes to achieve
results. Create a plan of action and stick with it. You can make
adjustments along the way as needed but constantly changing
methods won't allow you the chance to see what realistically works
and what doesn't.

# 6 - Avoid Brand and Dream Killers.

Share what you would like with business associates and family, but
stay as far away from negative people as possible. Your vision is not
given to everyone so everyone may not understand and that's ok.

56
 # 7 - Be Detail Oriented.
It's the little things that can add up to major issues so pay attention to
the finer points in your funnels, customer service, your website and all
systems.

# 8 - Set Goals With Deadlines

It's easy to say "I want to be successful this year", but what exactly
does that mean? What are your benchmarks, what is your desired date
to achieve, how will you know if you are making progress? Create a road
map to your goal and hold yourself accountable.

#9 - Follow Your Passion

All things profitable won't be in alignment with your brand, stay true to
your mission and values. It will set you apart from others and build a
quality tribe.

# 10 - Share Your True Story

Nobody's perfect. Only showcasing the hightlight reel of your business
will cause a disconnect. Be authentic and don't forget to share why you
are building your business.
57
 How To Create Collaborative
Brand Relationships
Instagram is one of the best social media platforms for networking .
For networking to work properly, though, both parties should
mutually benefit. Below are my tips for reaching out to others to
collaborate and do the popular shout out for shoutout (sfs).

1) Do your homework.
Make sure any page that you want to collaborate with is in the same
market. For example is your page is based on selling weight loss
products, you may not want to reach out to a popular shoe page.
Their followers would not benefit from your information if they have
targeted their audience properly.

58
 2) Dont cold contact.
Engage with the page before you attempt to do any networking. One
of my personal pet peeves is for someone to ask for a sfs out of the
blue. If Ive never seen you on my page whether it be with likes or
comments, Im not interested. Many pages have loyalty shoutouts
for people who are often active, or with simple engagement they
may find your content interesting enough to share without you
needing to ask to be shared.

3) Check contact methods.

DM, KIK and Email are popular forms of contact for IG, but some
pages dont like to receive DM messages or perhaps track all of their
information through email contact. The preferred contact method
will often be listed in their bio, take the time to check it out.
Oftentimes, when you reach out and no response is received you may
not have used the proper contact method.

59
 4) Make sure your page is ready for the prospective
followers/clients.
If you only post every 2-3 days, you dont have a very active page.
From a collab standpoint, if your page wont equally contribute to
the process, you should wait until your page is up to it. Its not
always about how many followers you have to be beneficial. Many
new pages that are actively putting the effort into their brand and
following have more active followers, than say a larger page that
doesnt interact well.

Make a list of 5 other pages, that you may be interested in collaborating with.
Make a list of their posting habits. What benefits would they receive from
working with your page? How can you make your page networkable if it isnt
currently? What can you change or focus on to increase networking
opportunities.?

 Business Pages Vs.
Personal Instagram Pages
A common question for new businesses who have an established
personal page is this: can you change the name on your page and
start posting information for your business? Put simply: no.

1) You can't force interest into your new business. Family and friends
that follow a personal page may not support your business in the
same way. Being fair they shouldn't be expected too just because they
know you.

2) Family and friends are often not your ideal clients, so while you
may retain the numbers your engagement and sales will suffer.

Create a page dedicated to your business and focus on attracting

clients that will be interested in your offerings.

63
 Facebook Groups Vs.
Facebook Business Pages
Facebook Pages can be limited in displaying your information based
on the algorithm unless you are willing to pay for promotions. With
this in place you may only reach a small percentage of your
audience without paying for ads.

Facebook groups can be a better use of your time if you are

committed to being active. Your group will become a center point
for your tribe, allow you increased interaction, and over time can be
a source of information for future products.

 How to Create Product Tiers
for Your Audience
Everyone in your audience may not be able to afford high-end prices
and some may not have enough trust in your business yet to make
larger investments. It doesn't mean that you can't service them,
which is where your product tiers come in.

Create your tiers by breaking down your products into manageable

steps. Your product tiers will factor into your sales funnel.

65
 Periscope Blueprint
BEFORE YOUR BROADCAST:
Notify your platforms when you will be going live and your topics.
Arrange your background and choose a title.
NEVER Scope without a title for your broadcast.

DURING YOUR SCOPE:

A im for 15-20 minute in length. If you have a topic that you can't
talk about at least 10 minutes without other interaction, it's not a
good Scope subject. Ideally, your audience will ask you a question
and engage, but just in case you should be able to carry your
broadcast alone.

66
 Scope Script:
0:00-0:60- Speak to your replay and web viewers.
1:00-5:00- Greet viewers coming into the broadcast, ask for the
share and give hearts reminder.
5:00-7:00- Introduce yourself, business, purpose, and topic for
today.
The introduction should always connect to your audience; you can
give your tagline or trade phrase. Give website or other social media
handles.
7:00- 20:00 Deliver content. Make notes for each Scope that you can
refer to and keep you on topic. Answer questions and don't be afraid
to engage.
20:00- Recap your topic with key points. Give call to actions. What
should they do next? Follow you, share the replay, visit your site,
etc.
A FTER SCOPE:
Share the replay with your audiences, and recap top points. After
the replay expires you can also create a Scope vault for your mailing
list or repurpose for sale later.

67
 How to Handle 0 Viewers and Trolls
One of the biggest fears expressed regarding going live and
broadcasting is speaking to an empty room or having trolls.
Platforms vary so each one will build a different audience. Use the
tips below to draw attention.Oh and the trolls? Ignore and block,
keep in mind they came to see you, not the other way around so
something is drawing attention.

For New Broadcasters:

1. Use your other platforms to draw attention and promote your

broadcasts. Give time and subject to create interest and show up
when you say you will.

2. Encourage the share. Even if someone can't stay for the entire
broadcast they can share with their audiences.

3. Choose topics that interest your audience and always title your
broadcasts.

68
 Mailchimp Vs. ConvertKit

MailChimp(MC) and Convert Kit are the two mailing list providers I
recommend for new users and lists under 10,000.
MC has a great drag and drop interface for creating your campaigns.
MC is also free for the first 2000 subscribers so you can try it out to
determine if it is a good fit for your business.

ConvertKit is geared toward those who will send emails on a regular

basis and has an easy funnel system that you can create based on
the actions your audience takes.

69
 How to Determine Your Free
Content Vs. Paid Content
Free content should be designed to catch the attention of your
audience and help them to become acquainted with your brand.
Free content can be in the form of eBooks, videos, Podcasts,
information in blogs, and via live broadcasts. Your freebies should
be part of your sales funnel to lead toward paid content.

Free content should not be fluff content, it should be along the lines
of something you would be able to charge for if you decided. It
should make your audience feel lucky that they are able to receive
the content and eager to move into paid products.

 Webinars and Your List
WHY USE WEBINARS?
Webinars allow you to build authority quickly and give value. It helps
people to trust your brand and allows people to have a preview of your
teaching style. It helps to build your list quickly because you can
easily teach free classes, and after all who doesn't love a free class.

Webinar topics can include:

Strategies
Step By Steps
Skill Sets
Design/Create With Me
Tutorials

71
 eBooks Sales Funnel
1. Build Interest. Poll your audience for topics, share the writing
process with behind the scenes, book snippets, free pages,
chapters.

2. Mention on all your social media platforms. Offer preorders 5-10

days before book is released. Create graphics with cover and
excerpt from the book. Provide some early copies to get feedback
and testimonials.
Create a countdown.

3. Release!!!! Again all social media platforms. Have first day only
prices and invite your followers to share.

4. Consistently promote and share feedback.

72
 Instagram Promotions
Shoutouts/Promos

Shoutouts are a popular tool to use for Instagram and when some
networking options arent available paying for advertising may be a
good way to go to increase exposure. Keep in mind that there is no
guarantee on how many followers you will receive or sales.
Shoutouts are a form of advertising so its still up to you to make
sure your page is worth following.

How to create a great shoutout?

Find a page that does shouts. This will vary based on certain
industries but often the information is in the pages bio as well as
how they like to be contacted.

2) Get prices and do an audit of their page. Check what type of

material they post and take note of how their audience responds to
it based on likes or comments. Model your shout after the
successful ones.

73
3) Always choose a clear image, preferably watermarked so that if
the image is shared youll still receive exposure.

4) Keep it short and simple in the caption and dont waste space on
hashtags here if the post will up up less than 24 hours.

Track the successful ones and build relationships with the pages,
which can lead to free shouts or discounts in the future.

74
