Do you want to create content that will actually attract the right audience?“Well, of course, Paul!”, right?Then you need to be intentional with your conversations.A lot of us put random content out there just to get something, anything out!Or we get overwhelmed and don't do anything at all because,in the moment,we're busy trying to create this perfect thing, something that we think might be relevant and we end up freezing up.Instead of doing either of those things, we need to give ourselves time to be intentional and plan out what we're saying.The key is looking at our potential clients, the people that are going to buy our products or services and figuring out what is relevant to them. Then, instead of putting randomness out into the world, we can have clear intentional conversations with them. So, take the time, map it out and give yourself space to be intentional.How can you be more intentional with your conversations?Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

Now a lot of people look at Melissa and I's successes, they see the multiple offers that we do, they see all the things and it's very common that people come up to us. And they're like, oh, we want to do you have multiple memberships, you have a bunch of offers and things and what they don't realize it's taken us many years to get here.We actually only put one offer at a time in the marketplace. We tweaked it, we tested it, we got it down to the point that allowed us to freedom in the time and energy and space to then create the next logical step for the next offer.If you just compare and look over at our entire frontal system, you would in a blink go, ”oh, I need to do all of that”.And it's like, no, we didn't just do all of that. Give yourself some grace. You're not racing anyone else. You're on your own race. You're on your own journey. Give yourself permission to just steadily make progress.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

As experts, we live with whatever our service is every day.It's nearly a hundred percent of what we're thinking about for our business.But the people that we're talking to, it might be a fraction of 1% or even less of what they were even thinking about in their daily life today.So what we need to do is create a runway of awareness.We need to create desire, curiosity, and excitement. We need to get into the conversations that people are already having so that we can create the connection ahead of time and can guide people into that buying decision.In order to do that, we need to have a runway.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

A lot of us think that the offers we put into the market are permanent and set in stone. But to be successful, we have to stop being so hard on ourselves and stay flexible with our business and our decisions. We need to be able to adjust our initial vision to have room to grow, pivot, and evolve our offers. In this episode, we are talking with Dayna Abraham about how she was able to grow and manage multiple successful memberships and courses that complement each other.

6 easy things to think about when it comes to your target audience!When it comes to getting to know our audience and really understanding who they are, a lot of times we overcomplicate it. Instead, keep it simple. Try using open-ended questions to connect with them: who, what, when, where, why and how!What are the things your audience is interested in? What are the things they desire? What are their pain points? Why are they seeking help? What's going on in their lives right now? Why are they looking for a solution? How can you help them?Put yourself in their shoes and figure out what they're experiencing. Imagine what their day-to-day life is like. That will give you a better understanding of what kind of solutions they are seeking and how you can better help them.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

Not every decision that you make in business is permanent. You have the power and ability to change things as you want.Remember, you're the boss of your business! You get to decide how you want to design your membership and how you want to go about things.I encourage you to just get started, take action test, try things, try new things and if something is not going exactly the way that you wanted to go or the way that you envisioned it, you can make a change, it's not permanent!The biggest thing is just getting started. That fear of getting started and things not going exactly as planned, that can hold you back, but don't let it, keep moving forward. People need what you do and you're going to make an impact.Don't hold yourself back wondering about the “what ifs”.

A lot of us get caught up in the launch wanting to give so much value, that we forget that this is just a sales mechanism.And when you overwhelm your audience with your content, with too much information, you are leaving them afraid to commit to the paid offer that might be even more extensive and complex.The worst part is that most people don't even realize that they self-sabotage by overdelivering content and by giving it all away already during the launch.In this episode, we are discussing how you can really give value to your audience during your launches without overwhelming them, position yourself as the expert, and lead them to making an informed buying decision.Find the full shownotes here: Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

Are you following a recipe when it comes to your marketing or are you randomly putting things in?Marketing is a process.A process is a step-by-step system that brings you to a predictable result. When you have a predictable result, just like baking you can double the recipe and amplify the results.Do you want 12 cookies, or do you want 24? Once you have that recipe, its easy to double it.That's the same thing when it comes to your Facebook ads, your YouTube ads, whatever type of marketing whether it's organic or paid, when you know the process and you see the pieces, you get the predictable result, and what happens? You can duplicate it over and over again.You can get the same result; you can amplify and you can scale and that's so vitally important.Stop treating your marketing like it's a cooking class and start baking, start following the processes and systems that will get you that predictable desired result.

Here's something I want you to remember...Not all leads are created equal. Not all leads are hot prospects!Depending on what you put out into the world, that will determine who you're attracting in. Not everybody that you attract in is a ready, willing and able buyer. We need to be careful of this when we are creating our lists.What you want to do is actually be very selective. It's better to have a smaller list than a huge list that has a whole bunch of junk in it.So, when you put some goodness out into the world, make sure your messaging is on point, make sure that you're attracting the people you want to attract, and make sure you're building an audience that has the right people in it.Are you building a list of the right people?Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

What if I put together a marketing plan and nobody engages? What if I send this email and nobody opens it? What if I put a link out and nobody clicks it?What if we turn that narrative around? What if instead you just leaned in and something magical happened? Everything that has ever been created was once on the other side of “What if this is possible?”This is your chance to reprogram that question. It's time to make “what if” a positive statement!

A launch has a lot of moving parts, and a lot of different things are happening all at one time.It's very easy to get overwhelmed and forget how things were happening at each phase of your launch.So, don't forget to do a launch debrief every time you launch.It allows you to really reflect on how your launch went from start to finish.Not just the period of the launch itself but everything that led up to it.A debrief will help you to really evaluate if everything that you did for that launch made sense.If it resonated with your audience if it was something that you would do again or do differently.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

I'm here to encourage you to embrace change.Change is going to happen. No one likes it, and especially in our business and with our marketing, change can really shake things up. It can make you nervous. It can make you feel fearful for the future.Just know it's a natural part of business. It's a natural part of your marketing process. It's a natural part as you grow, and you change, and you shift in your business.Once you're able to embrace that mindset, that change is just a part of the marketing process, it's a part of your business is a part of life, then you're going to just go more easy on yourself as those changes happen, you'll be able to adapt better, you'll be able to think of things a little bit differently and you know, not be so set in your ways of doing things a certain way.So, remember change is going to happen.

When you go into your launch, don't slip into "speaker mode", sticking robotically to your script and put on a mask of somebody else.Your audience wants a chance to get to know you. They wanna connect with you. And the more that they feel connected with you, the more likely they are gonna wanna work with you at a deeper capacity in your paid offer. So just show up. Show up as yourself.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

We often make the mistake of over-teaching during our launches. While giving value is important, too much teaching can overwhelm your audience, satisfy them prematurely and make them less receptive to your offers. Instead, inspire your audience by helping them adopt more empowering beliefs about what they can achieve. When they see new possibilities for themselves and experience some quick wins, they'll be more open-minded and excited about what you have to share.So don't forget to teach less and inspire more during your launches.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

With marketing, one of the ways that you can get back the expenses that you've paid into, some of your paid advertising to acquire clients, is to have a lot of smaller products to offer your audience as a way to work with them but also, it's going to recoup that cost.When you're thinking about ways to create small offers and ways to work with your audience, think about the pain points that they have. What is one small thing that you can solve for them with an offer?- Maybe it's an e-book that's going to explain the process that you do.- Maybe it's a tutorial of you showing a step-by-step process.A lot of times we over-complicate our offers and thinking that has to be this major, big thing and of course as entrepreneurs and online business owners, a lot of us have those signature programs. But keep in mind there are a lot of opportunities to work with our audiences with smaller offers, offers that are very specific and are going to solve a specific problem for them.What are some different ways that you can work with your audience with smaller offers?Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

How do we get the right people on our lists? This is one of the most common questions marketers have.A lot of us get dumped into an email list and then almost feel beat up sometimes because we end up in a nurturing sequence that is not related to what we opted in for in the first place.In this episode, we are talking about how to attract the right audience that is perfectly aligned with your offers.Find the full show notes here: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/how-to-attract-the-right-people-to-your-email-listResources:Creating the Perfect List Building Experience Guide - Grab our guide to get started with building your list with ideal people for your offers!Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

Memberships don't need to be complicated.One of the biggest challenges we hear from people that are considering a membership is that they're afraid a membership is going to bog them down. They think they're going to be overwhelmed, it's going to be complicated, and it's going to take all their time and effort.I want to remind you that a membership does not have to be complicated. In fact, some of the best memberships are super simple. They just do one thing, they solve one problem, they fix one challenge that their audience is experiencing.So,if you're thinking about putting together a membership, think about that one problem, that one challenge that your audience may be having and how you can solve that problem.What could that be?It's designed to help people think through what a membership might look like for them. No matter your business or membership type, the goal of the workshop is to get you moving down that path as quickly as possible.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

When it comes to list building, give yourself some grace, give yourself some time and give yourself permission to test things out.A lot of times we compare ourselves to other people, we see them with big vanity metrics, and we start getting into our own heads thinking we need that too. But here's the thing, it's better to have quality people on our list, to begin with than a big, huge number of unqualified people.We really need to take the time to tune in our messaging, tune in our offers, and make sure we're in front of the right people, because if we get a big vanity metric and attract all the wrong people into our world, what good is it anyway?Give yourself the time and space to build the right foundationResources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

A lot of times when I am coaching entrepreneurs and business owners, and they're putting together their thoughts and ideas for there offer, they stop themselves before they even get started because they say, “someone's done that already” or “so and so, has a product that's just like that, I can't compare myself to that”, and they freeze and they don't go further with that idea, and that's an awful shame! Because yes, there is a lot of noise out there, there's a lot of competition out there, and I'm sure for every single product or service that's out there, there's a million different options, but the thing that's not out there, is you and your unique voice and what you bring to the table!You have unique experiences, you have knowledge, you have skills that nobody else has, and that's important to remember as you are crafting your offers, because even though it may have been done before by someone else, that's their voice, that's their spin, that's their vibe. You have something unique and different to share!Don't stop yourself before you get started. Put your offers out there, let people know you can help them out, because they're waiting for you, and they need you.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

Sometimes we create a business or a career that we eventually don't love anymore. But it was not one intentional decision that leads us there. Over time, we made micro-commitments, saying yes to certain things and turning down other things. And then one day, we suddenly wake up and realize that we are not happy or fulfilled anymore with what we are doing. In this episode, we are discussing the importance of giving ourselves permission to evaluate, pivot, and possibly reboot our business from time to time in order to create a membership that truly serves us and our current needs.Find the full show notes here: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/why-your-membership-might-need-a-resetResources:Free Membership Guide- You'll learn the exact steps to take to build a successful membership business around what you already know, love, and do!

Do your research!Research is the first step before you get started with building your lead magnet but it's often a step that people skip over.It's very easy to skip past and get right to create an awesome lead magnet that's beautifully designed. But if that lead magnet doesn't speak into the problem, it's not going to do your audience any good.Don't make that mistake. Do your research first, figure out the problems that your audience is having and then base a list builder around that. Then you can create a list builder that's going to naturally lead and bridge into your offer. It all starts with doing the research first.So, get started with that research. Do your homework.

The biggest fear of many people is to feel tied down and restricted by their own memberships They are afraid that they won't have any time off. They're going to be constantly dealing with members, questions and challenges, and it's going to be hard to go about their day, because they're going to be constantly in their membership, serving members.

When it comes to engagement in our social media groups, many of us think that more is better.But actually, quite the opposite is true.Sometimes we end up sabotaging community engagement by over-delivering or other habits that stop conversations instead of encouraging them.In this episode of our Mastermind Series, we are discussing what to avoid when engaging with your communities in your groups.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

Meet people where they are in their journey. Enter the conversation that they are already having. Now, this takes some research and it takes some time. This takes some awareness. You need a feedback loop. You need to take the time and the effort to go out and see what your people that you're trying to attract into your world are doing.What are they already talking about? What are they already sharing, liking, engaging in? What are they commenting on? What are they already doing today?Because when we enter the conversation already knowing instead of being a stranger entering in an awkward kind of way, you'll be welcomed into the conversation.That, my friend, will completely change the way that you launch.It all starts with being intentional, entering the conversation they are already having and then guiding them into the step where you are able to help them.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

The moment something changes, that just means the rules of the game have shifted a bit. What we have to do is just lean into that and adapt.Okay, what are the new rules and what's the game now? What do we need to do? What are we evolving, pivoting, changing so that we can still be on the cutting edge compared to everybody else?There are still buyers in the market that want our thing and every time something shifts and change and everyone's like, “oh my goodness the sky is falling” quietly say to yourself, you know what, what opportunity does this change create? What opportunity does this change create? Because I need to see where the new opportunities are, where the new advantages are, and then I can just slide right in while everybody else is pining over how things used to be.Here's the thing, anybody that comes in new today or new tomorrow, they don't know how things used to be and they're going to be successful. They're going to figure it out like where they are, right this second and I want you to do the exact same thing because there are always going to be changes.Marketing is always going to be evolving, shifting and molding so we can't be caught up in how we did things 5 years ago, last year or even six months ago.Embrace change, that is so vitally important especially when it comes to marketing because it's all about being adaptive.

The common mistake that people go through when launching is to over-deliver.They get really excited and want to give value.So they give their audience everything that they got.They overwhelm their audience with so much information that they are probably not ready to make that buying decision.They'll say: “You gave me so much to think about. I'm gonna work on this first before they go into your paid offer.”So, deliver value to your audience and focus on what things they need to be aware of that's gonna help them with solving their problem.But save the “How” to solve that problem for the paid offer.Give your audience a great launch experience, but not give away everything.

What's the most common mistake that people make during a launch?They over-teach and over-deliver content.They are thinking: “I need to deliver. I need to show up with my best stuff.” Yes, you should definitely do that. But if you overwhelm people and make them feel that your launch content is everything that they actually need to have the transformation that you're promising, they will not desire to come into your offer.So find the right balance between giving value during your launch and leaving your audience to desire more.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt
