[449] How to create a crisis plan for your content

3/19/2021
Have you ever wondered what would happen to your content if you needed to take time out of your business? Do you have content batched and scheduled ahead? Or would your content grind to a halt until you were able to get back to work? If you’re like many business owners I know, creating a contingency plan for your content is probably on your to-do list - but something you tell yourself you’ll get to when you get a spare moment (which, when you run a business is often ‘never’). But it is important. In this episode, I talk to business strategist Diane Mayor about how to create a contingency plan for your content (and why you need to). You’ll learn why planning for the good times (a sudden spike in sales, for example) is just as important as planning for a crisis. PLUS what to include in your contingency planning. And why this topic is important - even if you’re a solopreneur. {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview.

[448] How to generate semi-passive income by selling your own planner or journal

3/12/2021
I generated more than £185k in sales of my 2021 Social Media Diary and Planner and related products. In this podcast episode (which you can also read as a blog), I share my tips on how to generate a semi-passive income from selling a planner or journal. You’ll find out: {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview. Scroll down to the bottom to read the show notes including all the links mentioned in this episode.} 1. Make sure your planner solves a problem There are so many types of planners available - the competition can be huge. Which is why your planner needs to solve a specific problem for a specific person. For example, my Social Media Diary & Planner helps business owners who are struggling to come up with content ideas. It’s packed full of key dates and awareness days, which helps them generate content ideas. And it includes templates and checklists to help them create annual, monthly, weekly and daily content plans - which helps them stay on track. Another example might be a music practice planner. I’m an amateur pianist, and one of the problems I have is organising what I’m going to practise, when. The membership programme I belong to sells a piano practice planner. This is a great resource for keeping track of your practice. It also creates a record of what you’ve covered so you can look back at your progress. A wedding planner/journal is another good example because it helps prospective brides stay organised and creates a keepsake of the event. 2. Pick a niche for your planner Don’t be put off if there are already planners on sale in your industry/space. It is possible to niche down within your industry For example, there are hundreds of planners on dog training. Niching down to a particular breed of dog - or aspect of training e.g. potty training, behaviour - will not only help you stand out, it will also increase your sales. For example, Bridezilla founder, Alicia McCormack created a wedding planner for people who hate bridal magazines and wedding fairs. There are also planners for vintage weddings, 1950s themed weddings and other specific niches. There are lots of possibilities to niche down within your industry. Even if it seems like there are lots of planners already on the market. You may feel that getting super specific will reduce your sales. Actually, you’re far more likely to make sales because your product will be a better fit for your ideal customer. 3. Build an audience to sell your planner to The average conversion rate for online sales is 1-2%. Which means for every hundred people in your audience (i.e. your email list) only a handful are likely to buy. So if you’re hoping to sell hundreds/thousands of your planner - and you don’t currently have a large audience to sell to - you may need to readjust your expectations. If this is the case, you have a number of options: 4. Build authority on your planner topic There may be someone else out there who sells a similar planner/journal to the one you want to create. Someone who has an established audience e.g. a YouTube channel, book and/or large social media following. So why would someone choose to buy from you? I say this not to put you off launching your planner, but to remind you that you need to build authority in your industry/space. And also to manage your expectations. It may take you time to build the authority (and audience) you need to sell your planner (at least in the numbers you would like). The best way to build authority is to publish content that answers your ideal customers’ questions - ideally on your website.That way, when your ideal clients are searching online for answers to their questions, they’ll end up on your website. I publish regular blogs/podcasts on content planning/creation throughout the year. This helps me and my planner get ‘found’ more easily in Google. If you approach your planner business with realistic expectations, you can only build...

[447] Women in podcasting: why we need more women's voices on podcasts

3/5/2021
Did you know that just one in three podcast hosts are women? And just 21% of chart-topping podcast hosts are female? Even though almost as many women listen to podcasts as men. So what holds women back from launching a podcast? And why do so few women who DO start a podcast hit the top of the charts in their niche? This special podcast episode - published to mark International Women’s Day 2021 - aims to inspire more women to get their voices heard. You’ll hear from four podcasters (three female and one male) on how to get started with podcasting and overcome common fears - like getting to grips with the tech and getting used to the sound of your own voice. PLUS practical tips on launching your podcast. Even if starting a podcast isn’t on your radar, there is so much to inspire you in this episode to get your voice out there.

[446] How to pitch yourself as a podcast guest

2/26/2021
Being a guest on other peoples’ podcasts is a great way to build your audience - and your authority. But most podcast hosts get far more pitches than they can handle - which means they can afford to be choosy about who guests on their show. So what’s the best way to pitch yourself as a podcast guest? And how can you make sure your pitch stands out from the rest? In this podcast episode, you’ll learn how to craft the perfect email pitch for a podcast and how to increase your chances of getting a ‘yes’ from the host. You’ll also find out what podcast hosts are looking for in a guest and the common mistakes to avoid in your pitch. {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview. Scroll down to the bottom to read the show notes including all the links mentioned in this episode.} Why it's worth being a podcast guest Why Being a podcast guest is a great way to get in front of your ideal customers/clients - and build your audience - fast. It’s much quicker than writing a guest blog post. Most podcast interviews last between 30-60 mins. This means you can potentially do several a week. It’s also a great way to build trust quickly. There’s something about being in someone’s earbuds that’s much more intimate than the written word. Which means that by the end of a 30 minute interview, people often feel they know, like and trust you enough to visit your website, download your free resources and/or even buy your products/services. And the best thing is, every time you appear on someone else’s podcast, you’re getting in front of a brand new audience - an audience you haven’t had to build yourself. So if you set yourself a target to do three interviews a week, you could potentially build your audience by thousands - in a relatively short space of time. But before you get too excited…let’s back up a bit. Most podcast hosts - particularly on popular shows - get dozens of pitches each week. So competition for guest spots can be pretty tough. So how do you write a pitch for a podcast host that really stands out? Read on and find out. And why not check out my YouTube video about pitching yourself as a podcast guest as well:- 1. Focus on how you can help the podcast host (not yourself) As a podcast host, this is what I’m looking for in a guest: Someone who can providegreat contentfor my audience. In my case, this is practical ‘how to’ advice on listeners can apply in their business on social media marketing, content marketing and email marketing. On another podcast, great content might simply be entertainment or providing information about a specific topic. Someone who has anestablished online presencein the form of a blog, vlog, podcast and/or has written a book. Not only does this mean they have an audience they can share our podcast interview with, but it also means I can serve my listeners by directing them towards more useful content. Sadly, most of the pitches I get are focused on what the person doing the pitching hopes to get out of the interview rather than how they can help my audience. In many cases, it’s clear they haven’t even listened to the show (or even scrolled through previous episode titles) to get a feel for the kind of content I offer. I think my experience is pretty typical - which is why I say 'no' to most pitches I receive. If you can focus on how you can help the podcast host - rather than yourself - you'll have a much better chance of getting a 'yes'. 2. Label the subject header of your email Most podcast hosts are actively looking for great content, so label the subject line of your email and they’re far more likely to pay attention. 3.Use the subject header to summarise your idea A concise subject header that summarises your story (ideally in ten words or less) is far more likely to get a podcast host’s attention. Resist the temptation to use puns or clever wordplay though; an obscure headline that doesn’t mean anything may get...

[BONUS] How to create your content plan for 2021 (in just a few hours)

12/31/2020
Need to create a content plan for 2021 but not sure where to start? Create your 2021 content plan with my easy-to-follow plan - in just a few hours (or less) This four step plan will take the overwhelm out of content planning - and get you all set for 2021. {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview. Scroll down to the bottom to read the show notes including all the links mentioned in this episode} STEP 1: Create your annual content plan Write down 3-5 important things you will be doing in your business in each quarter e.g. launching a new product/service, attending or speaking at an event, hosting an event/special promotion. STEP 2: Create your quarterly plan Once you have an overview of your year, you can create your quarterly content plan. If you have one, you’ll find the Q1 quarterly planning template on page 9 of your 2021 Social Media Diary & Planner. How to create your quarterly plan: Write down your business focus for each week. If you have a copy of my 2021 Social Media Diary & Planner, there are templates provided for this (the first is on page 9). What are you going to be selling /promoting each week? This will help you plan and schedule relevant content that makes it natural for you to talk about your products/services. For example if you are launching a 12-week group coaching programme on productivity, it would make sense to schedule content on creating new habits, avoiding procrastination and dealing with distractions around that time. Schedule a piece of ‘core’ content for each week e.g. blog, podcast, YouTube video that relates to your business focus. Typically this will be around something your ideal customer/client might be struggling with that relates to your product/service. Committing to a regular publishing day will help keep you accountable. You don’t need firm titles at this stage - topic ideas are fine.Pick out a couple of awareness dates for each week that are relevant to you/your business (there are hundreds listed in my 2021 Social Media Diary & Planner but you can find awareness dates online - it might just take a bit of Googling to find relevant ones for you/your business). Get them on your calendar. Remembernot every piece of content you share has to be business related. It’s fine to post content that is just about generating engagement/conversation. In fact this can be a great way to connect with your audience. You will find the awareness days listed at the beginning of each month (alongside a month-per-view calendar). Listen to this podcast to learn more about how to use awareness days to generate content ideas for your business. Simply by doing these three things, you can create a quarterly plan (i.e. 12 weeks of content ideas) in a very short space of time. STEP 3: Create your quarterly plan Depending on your personal preference, you might decide your quarterly plan can double up as your monthly plan (adding new ideas as you go). But you might prefer to sit down once a month and create a specific plan for the following month (using the content from your quarterly plan as a starting point). It’s up to you. Step 4: Creating your weekly/daily content plan If you have a copy of my 2021 Social Media Diary & Planner, you will also have a planning template where you can map out what you’re going to post on each content platform each day (the first is on page 14). If you don't, you can So now you’re ready to create your 2021 content plan. Good luck!

If you’re getting enough leads/sales online - and/or you only need a small number of clients each year and you can get them via your existing contacts - you don’t need to do anything. But if you want to sell one-to-many i.e. you want to sell your products/services in the hundreds and thousands. And you don’t want to have to do personal outreach for every sale, you need an online audience. To put this into context, the average conversion rate for online sales is just 1-2%. Which means for every hundred people in your audience, only a handful will buy. So if you’re looking to sell at scale i.e. products, online courses, membership...you need a much bigger audience than you think you do. 3. How much does it cost to join the Build Your Online Audience programme?
