The Art of Online Business

On the show today I’m welcoming back my good friend and brilliant copywriter, Kira Hug. Kira was a guest back on Episode 136 of this podcast, where we talked about 3 steps to writing good copy.   ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍I asked her to come back on the show here because a few months ago she did a presentation for the mastermind group that I’m apart of when we were in New York, and it was amazing.  Kira talked about how to position your business by using the framework of the 5 levels of market sophistication, or essentially how to cut through the noise in a crowded marketplace, as so many are today.   You’ll hear how differentiating ourselves should be an integral part of our business strategies, yet we so often don’t focus on this. For a long time that was me, but Kira really got me thinking about this whole concept of positioning and differentiating myself to stand out. I wanted you to be thinking of how you can do this as well, and in this episode, Kira reveals just how you can do it. ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

So it’s been known for several months that Facebook is removing all the targeting that’s related to 3rd party data… This means all behavioral targeting -- HHI, home buyers, renters, likely to move, car buyers, soccer moms, moms with kids between a certain age, purchase behaviors, etc… Well, the time is upon for if you want to be reaching these audiences, you’ll want to be taking action now.  After Aug 15th, you won’t be able to create new ads with that targeting. Anything that’s running prior to Aug 15th -- Keep running until Oct. 1. So, if you want to be reaching these audiences, here’s a strategy you can do to be able to build custom audiences of those people to use beyond Aug 15th and Oct. 1. ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

When you get to the end of your workday, how do you determine whether it was a “successful” work day? For a long time in my business, once I hit the evening time, I would often question whether what I did that day was “enough”.  And it was a struggle, feeling like I “should” have done more. And as I talked to more and more fellow business owners, this seemed to be a common struggle. So today I’m going to share with you what I’ve done to overcome this. And, I also asked this same question to the mastermind that I’m a part of and I thought I’d anonymously share the responses I got from them... ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!
