The Senior Care Industry Netcast w/ Valerie V RN BSN & Dawn Fiala
Send us a textStressed families don't browse; they decide. We unpack how a home care website either earns trust in seconds on a phone or quietly leaks leads to competitors—and exactly how to fix it before 2026. From mobile-first speed to above-the-fold calls to action, we walk through the homepage elements that translate emotion into action, then dive into the service-page strategy that actually ranks: long-form explanations in plain language, outcome-driven copy, and helpful FAQs that mirror what people ask in crisis.We also explore the new search reality. AI answers “best home care near me,” and if your content isn't structured for questions, featured snippets, and local context, you're invisible. Learn how to write for natural language, when to use FAQ schema, and why towns beat counties for discoverability. Plus, we get practical about lead capture: why a consult request outperforms self-scheduled assessments, what to offer as a useful download, and how to deploy chat without letting AI hallucinate answers.Trust is the moat. We share ways to gather Google reviews at the right moment, showcase real caregiver culture with spotlights, and present outcomes that matter—satisfaction, days without readmission, and clear next steps for families and referral partners. Wrap it up with a 30-day sprint: audit speed and CTAs, expand three core service pages, implement schema, and fix your response workflows so every tap becomes a conversation. If you're ready to move from pretty to profitable, this is your playbook.If this helped, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review so more home care leaders can find it. Got a question or want an audit?

Sponsored By ClickFunnels Live - Las Vegas Date: October 22nd I will be speaking and teaching this material live on stage with exclusive bonuses for attendees. Virtual seats available. Join me In this episode, Sean breaks down the single most important element of your marketing: the hook. Learn why the first seven words you write can literally determine whether your content gets ignored or generates sales. This is the foundation episode of Season 7's 16-episode roadmap to building a growth engine that pays for itself every 30 days. Key Takeaways What Is a Hook? A hook is whatever people see, read, or hear first. It's the opening line of your video, the first words in your headline, your email subject line, or the visual that pops up before you speak. Without a killer hook, nothing else in your marketing matters. The Two Types of Hooks Verbal Hooks: Labels that call out your audience Sharp questions Conditional statements ("If you're struggling with X...") Commands Bold statements Lists Mini stories Provocative statements Nonverbal Hooks: Pattern interrupt visuals Unusual props Surprising camera cuts Distinctive sounds Pro tip: Combine verbal + nonverbal for "multimodal" hooks that hit attention from multiple angles. The 70-20-10 Rule 70% - More of what's already working (your proven winners) 20% - Winner-adjacent content (variations on proven hooks) 10% - Big, crazy, new experiments The Hook Tracker System Create a simple spreadsheet with: Hook name Actual hook copy Outcome/results Link to where you used it Always test at least 2 hooks per campaign - never just pick one and hope. Resources Mentioned Free Tools (Available in Show Notes): Hook Tracker Template - Simple spreadsheet to track what's working AI Hook Generator Prompt - Generates 55+ world-class hooks in under 2 minutes across 11 categories including: Pattern break hooks Open loop hooks Identity ping hooks Status and safety hooks Reward preview hooks Proof hooks Pricing hooks Fast cash/lightning hooks Closing hooks Branding hooks The 30-Day Payback Engine Connection Strong hooks = Better attention = Cheaper clicks = Better show-up rates = Faster upsells The Goal: Make your gross profit in the first 30 days cover your customer acquisition costs, so your growth pays for itself. Hook Examples by Business Model SaaS Companies: "Launch fully configured in 4 hours, or we pay your first month" Course Creators: "One module in 7 days that fixes your most urgent pain—and you keep it forever" Service Providers: "Strategy session booked in 60 seconds + $197 credit if we can't help" Weekly Hook Creation Rhythm Monday: Research - Collect 10-20 outlier hooks from your niche Tuesday: Write 50 hooks total (35 from winners, 10 winner-adjacent, 5 moonshots) Wednesday: Record 10 hook variations per content package Thursday: Edit - Pair hooks with content sections and CTAs (assembly line style) Friday: Ship across platforms and update your hook tracker Weekly: Keep top 10%, kill bottom 10%, repeat Critical Hook Rules ✅ For email subject lines: 7 words or less ✅ For social: You have 0.007 seconds to stop the scroll ✅ Clear beats clever - Every. Single. Time. ✅ Shorter is stronger - If you can cut words and keep impact, do it ✅ Split test everything - Use A/B testing (10% one hook, 10% another, winner gets 80%) Common Hook Mistakes to Avoid Vague hooks - If your audience can't self-identify instantly, it's too broad Fancy words over simple promises - Don't get cute All verbal, no visuals - Make it multimodal when possible Guessing instead of tracking - Log everything Starving the 70% - Stop reinventing weekly; repeat what works 100x more than you think This Week's Homework Write These Hooks (Manually or Using AI Tool): 3 identity hooks ("If you're a [blank]...") 3 question hooks ("What if you could [blank]?") 3 conditional hooks ("When you finally [blank]...") 3 command hooks ("Stop doing X and start...") 3 strong statements ("Here's the truth nobody's telling you...") 3 list/step hooks ("The 5 ways to...") 2 nonverbal ideas (weird prop, unusual sound, visual element) Deploy This Week: Pick your top 5 hooks Read them out loud Tighten each one (cut every unnecessary word) Add to your hook tracker Test at least 5 hooks this week DM Sean your top 3 and tell him which one you think will win What's Next Next Episode: Building Your Content Factory Learn how to take 50 hooks + 5 content sections + 3 CTAs and create 150+ content variations per week without burning out.

Send us a textThe deceptively simple concept of Time to Value might be the most overlooked factor in your SEO strategy. In this eye-opening episode, I break down why the speed at which users experience the core benefit of your website directly impacts your search rankings.Time to Value (TTV) is that magical moment when a visitor says, "Ah, I get it!" – the instant they realize your site delivers exactly what they needed. Whether it's finding the perfect product, getting a crucial answer, or completing a task, how quickly this happens determines whether they'll stay, bounce, or become loyal visitors. And Google is watching these behaviors closely.We explore the two distinct types of TTV – Basic Value (the quickest path to main benefits) and Exceed Value (discovering those delightful secondary features) – and why prioritizing that initial value delivery is critical in today's short-attention-span world. You'll learn practical design strategies to reduce your site's TTV, from simplifying onboarding to creating intuitive navigation, clear CTAs, and lightning-fast page speeds.The beauty of optimizing for Time to Value is that it naturally aligns with Google's core mission: serving the best results to users. When visitors quickly find value on your site, it reduces bounce rates, increases engagement time, boosts conversions, and builds brand loyalty – all signals that tell Google your site deserves higher rankings. Ready to transform your approach to website design? Listen now and discover why being helpful, fast, and clear might be all the SEO strategy you really need.SEO Is Not That Hard is hosted by Edd Dawson and brought to you by KeywordsPeopleUse.com Help feed the algorithm and leave a review at ratethispodcast.com/seo You can get your free copy of my 101 Quick SEO Tips at: https://seotips.edddawson.com/101-quick-seo-tipsTo get a personal no-obligation demo of how KeywordsPeopleUse could help you boost your SEO and get a 7 day FREE trial of our Standard Plan book a demo with me nowSee Edd's personal site at edddawson.comAsk me a question and get on the show Click here to record a questionFind Edd on Linkedin, Bluesky & TwitterFind KeywordsPeopleUse on Twitter @kwds_ppl_use"Werq" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Today on the show we have Casey Hill, CMO of DoWhatWorks, a patented growth experiment tracking engine that reveals which website changes actually drive results. Casey brings experience from ActiveCampaign, his work as a Stanford instructor and advisor, and years of research into how leading companies like Slack, Shopify, and Asana run experiments. In this episode, Casey breaks down why most A/B tests fail and how to focus on the few elements that truly move the needle. We explore why two CTAs often outperform one, why customer logo bars underdeliver, and why expectation-to-reality alignment is the hidden driver of both conversions and retention. Casey also shares how DoWhatWorks blends large-scale data with human research to surface reliable best practices, why expansion revenue has become its biggest growth lever, and how enterprise clients are tackling churn by setting clear expectations from day one. We also discuss how onboarding experiments reduce early churn, why traffic sources should shape your CTA strategy, and why simplicity always wins on pricing pages.As usual, I'm excited to hear what you think of this episode, and if you have any feedback, I would love to hear from you.

Today we speak with Dr. Ilia Bouchouev, former President of Koch Global Partners where he launched and managed the global derivatives trading business for over 20 years. Traditional supply and demand models no longer explain the oil market, where the correlation between fundamentals and price is now close to zero. Ilia leads Rory into a narrative about his "virtual barrel" thesis, exploring why the market now trades 60 times more oil on paper than is physically consumed daily. Ilia introduces a new paradigm for understanding price formation: modeling the "reaction function" of market participants to a host of factors beyond just fundamentals, such as macroeconomic data, flows, and even tweets. Discover the real "who's who" as Ilia debunks common misinterpretations of the Commitment of Traders report, revealing the blurred lines between hedgers and speculators.Learn about the different speculative players, from algorithmic CTAs to "quantamental" funds, and how "fast money" has proven to be the most profitable and volatile force driving short-term prices. The conversation also explores how professional traders analyze the complex futures curve, using carry trades and convexity to trade spreads rather than direction. Finally, understand the macro tug-of-war between traders using oil for recession hedging versus those using it to hedge against inflation, and gain a new framework for analyzing one of the world's most critical commoditiesOGU Listeners are now offered a special offer for Rory Johnston's Commodity Context Newsletter.

Ready to scale your Amazon business? Click here to book a strategy call. https://calendly.com/firingtheman/amazonThe difference between struggling to get responses and filling your calendar with qualified leads often comes down to one thing: how you structure your offer. Perrin Monker, Principal at RevAscension.io, reveals the counterintuitive psychology that drives successful cold outreach campaigns.Most entrepreneurs make a critical mistake when reaching out to prospects - they position themselves at the center of their messaging. "This is what I do and why I'm great" rarely moves the needle. What actually works is flipping the script to center everything around your prospect's desired business outcomes. As Perrin explains, "We want to be humble when we come up with go-to-market strategies...look at the competition, see what other sharks are in the water."Beyond crafting compelling offers, this episode dives deep into the technical aspects of cold email that most marketers get wrong. We debunk common myths (like the value of tracking open rates) and reveal why sending fewer emails from more accounts dramatically improves deliverability. You'll discover why asking for a prospect's time is fundamentally flawed compared to generating interest - a resource that, unlike time, is infinite and can be created through strategic messaging.Whether you're trying to reach e-commerce businesses, SaaS clients, or any B2B audience, Perrin shares the frameworks that have filled calendars for businesses across industries. From prospect list building techniques to the surprising truth about CTAs that actually work, this conversation will transform how you approach outreach.Ready to stop guessing what works in cold email?

Join Jeff Malec for a special solo "6-pack" episode where he tackles six topics on his mind during the summer podcast break. Jeff starts by examining the challenging trend following drawdown that's been plaguing the markets, sharing insights from his 25 years in the space and why this one feels different. He pays tribute to Waldo Wiens, the legendary Kansas farmer who backed dozens of CTAs with hundreds of millions and helped shape the managed futures industry. Reflecting on Hurricane Katrina's 20th anniversary, Jeff explores the storm's market lessons and marvels at how quant models are being used to save lives in weather forecasting. He dives into AI's growing role in finance and education, questioning whether it's becoming a crutch rather than a multiplier and pondering its potential economic implications. Jeff makes the case for smart leverage as a diversification tool, challenging common investor misconceptions about risk management. The episode wraps up with his personal rants on everything from wind turbines (not windmills!) to highway etiquette. No guest, no agenda - just Jeff's unfiltered thoughts on markets, life, and everything in between.Chapters:00:00-01:04=Intro01:05-05:03=The Nasty Trend Drawdown05:04-08:24=Remembering Waldo Wiens08:25-13:49=Hurricane Katrina at 2013:50-17:20=AI: Multiplier or Crutch?17:21-20:50=Smart Leverage vs. Toxic Leverage20:51-24:08=Quick RantsSuper Storms, Mathematical Modeling, and Hurricane Hunting with Dr. Jeff Masters on The DerivativeDon't forget to subscribe toThe Derivative, follow us on Twitter at@rcmAlts and our host Jeff at@AttainCap2, orLinkedIn , andFacebook, andsign-up for our blog digest.Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, business, or tax advice.

Yoav Git and Alan Dunne sits down for a conversation that challenges familiar assumptions about curve trading, market structure, and the role of CTAs. They explore why dislocations across time horizons create pockets of alpha most models miss, and how breakout behavior in commodity spreads signals more than noise. Drawing on a recent Bank of England study, Yoav explains how different participants leave distinct footprints on the FX curve, and why CTAs, far from being passive allocators, can act as dynamic responders to changing regimes.

Louie talks through how to turn listeners into loyal fans and buyers by creating calls to action (CTAs) that actually get clicked on and grow your audience and pool of regular buyers. He explains exactly how to create and record simple, engaging CTAs that get your audience to take the action you need them to, whether that is subscribing, reviewing, booking an event, buying a course, coaching, or something else. Want to get into podcasting but need a little push? Join our 3-day Podcasting event in Peterborough! – Get in touch for details! Use email: podcast@disruptivemedia.co.uk Episode Takeaways The simpler the action is, the more likely it is people will do it. Subscribing, rating, or visiting a website are examples of quick and easy actions. Think about what it is that you're doing and what it is you want your audience member to do, then make it easy for them to take that action. Your CTA needs to be short, simple and give people a reason to do it. Tailor your CTA to the platform (s) you are using. Louie explains how. Put your CTA in the first third of your content. Creating a flawless CTA may take you several takes, so put aside enough time to get the job done. BEST MOMENTS “A call to action is asking someone to do something. It's a call to do an action - this can be as simple as liking, subscribing, following, rating, any of that jazz.” “With the CTAs, you can't ask them to do too much. You've got to make it easy, clickable, one thing - one simple step.” “Like and subscribe is more of a video thing. Rating and reviewing is more of a podcast thing. So, think about what platform you want to be on and just record something.” "You want this advert to come in early, to get the most people possible.
