There's this terrible myth out there that SEO doesn't matter as much as it did, say, 5-10 years ago. Or even last year. The SEO-is-irrelevant idea is especially widespread in the luxury space - which is a crying shame for all those wedding pros who've put ALL your eggs into the referral basket. Yes, referrals are important, even essential, when you get to luxury. However, you can't NOT have key SEO elements on your search engine results page. Think about it from the couples' perspective: They get a throaty endorsement from a past client who hired you, or maybe their planner adds your name to the short list. The couple still has to look you up to learn more. And where do they go? Google. Yes, contrary to popular belief, wealthy people ALSO use Google. There's not a secret search engine for the affluent. So if you're in luxury or not, you must get SEO right. That's why I brought on my favorite SEO guru in the wedding industry, Sara Dunn, to talk all things SEO for 2024. In this episode, you'll learn: - Top three mistakes people make with their SEO - What areas you can probably DIY - and what ones are best left to the pros - When to hire your SEO expert when you're considering doing or refreshing your site

I was asked for the"secrets" I have for marketing. The biggest secret is this: *drum roll* Vertical specialization *Jedi Wave* "this is the secret you've been looking for" Really? Yes, really. Based on metric fscktonnes of research (that's the technical term) I conducted, and reading the research of others, I believe that positioning your business as specializing in a single vertical is the "magic bullet" that will result in more leads & sales than any other marketing strategy. Why is it a secret? Because niching down to a single vertical scares the crap out of people. There are loads of reasons to fear it: it's turning down opportunity (somewhat valid but doesn't really happen) or "I'll get bored just working in one industry" (highly unlikely, as you specialize you find deeper, more interesting problems.) And it's also difficult, and time consuming, and lots of other problems. But it's worthwhile. What's my call to action? Simple: don't just take my word for it: Listen to Wolfram Moritz and Brad Farris and Jonathan Stark and Sara Dunn and Louis Grenier on the Marketing for Consultants podcast. Go read Philip Morgan's "The Positioning Manual for Indie Consultants" where he walks you through how and why to specilize.  Read the Business of Expertise from David C. Baker where he lists the pros and cons of vertical vs horizontal specialization.  Read Spiraling Up from Lee Frederiksen & Aaron E. Taylor.  In fact, check out everything from Hinge, including Kelly J. Waffle's interview with Yitzi Weiner in the Thrive Global Community. Thank you for attending my TED rant.

I'm doing something new on this week's episode of the Own Your Business Podcast.  Over the past 90+ episodes, I've done a few different types of approaches: Me talking about a specific topic Having Katy, my wife and copywriting expert, on to talk shop with me about websites Bringing on an expert, like Katelyn Magnuson or Sara Dunn, in a specific field to share their expertise where we can't Industry stars, like KT Merry and Shannon Leahy, to share their journey to the top Today, we're going to add a fifth type of episode, and that's a client case study. Done before on video lives over the past few winters, and even a couple times in early 2022 on the podcast, and we've had great responses from the audience. I'm folding them into the content calendar over the next several months because it's helpful to hear the transformation people go through to get from where they are to where they want to be. Information is good. Don't get me wrong. But the hills people climb and hurdles they have to overcome make it interesting. And show us that success doesn't happen overnight. Everyone struggles. Including me!  And my clients, when they first come to me.  It takes courage to ask for help. The three hardest words for any business owner or boss are often, I don't' know. That's exactly what Romin, today's guest, said to me when he first reached out five years ago. Things were going well for him, but he know he hadn't reached his full potential. He didn't know what he didn't know, but he knew that much - and that was all he needed when he first reached out. Romin and I were on a call yesterday, in fact, and he said he's the happiest he's been as a person, and feels more fulfilled as a business owner than he's ever been. Enjoy the conversation about how he got there. It's a good one.

She reviews what her journey was like and how it affected her agency.   Links:  Email: sara@11web.com  https://www.instagram.com/saradoesseo (Instagram)  https://twitter.com/Sara11D (Twitter)  https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradunn11/ (LinkedIn)  http://saradoesseo.com/ (Website)  Episode Links and Resources:  00:14 https://thankyou.creativeagencysuccess.com/agencyblueprintdownload (To Download Your Free Copy of The International Best Selling Book "The Agency Blueprint" just click this link) 2:16 https://11web.com/ (11Web) 8:53 https://blog.creativeagencysuccess.com/_hcms/analytics/search/conversion?redirect=aHR0cHM6Ly9ibG9nLmNyZWF0aXZlYWdlbmN5c3VjY2Vzcy5jb20vYmxvZy9ob3ctb3VyLXN0cnVnZ2xpbmctY2xpZW50LWFjaGlldmVkLWEtNTU2LWF2ZXJhZ2UtaG91cmx5LWVhcm5pbmdzLWluY3JlYXNlLWFuZC1ob3ctdG8tcHJvcGVybHktY2hvb3NlLWEtbmljaGU%3D&ct=SEARCH&pid=8240502&cid=38025225328&t=bmljaGU%3D&d=blog.creativeagencysuccess.com&c=2&c=3&c=6&rp=1&ab=false&opcid=&rs=UNKNOWN&hs-expires=1671289634&hs-version=1&hs-signature=APUk-v614aHkjllPJ7oP7MEKMRVacQMMWA (Tips on Selecting a Niche) 12:08 http://saradoesseo.com/ (Saradoesseo Website) 19:09 https://podcast.creativeagencysuccess.com/value-based-pricing (Value Based Pricing) 21:59 https://blog.creativeagencysuccess.com/_hcms/analytics/search/conversion?redirect=aHR0cHM6Ly9ibG9nLmNyZWF0aXZlYWdlbmN5c3VjY2Vzcy5jb20vYmxvZy9ob3ctb3VyLXN0cnVnZ2xpbmctY2xpZW50LWFjaGlldmVkLWEtNTU2LWF2ZXJhZ2UtaG91cmx5LWVhcm5pbmdzLWluY3JlYXNlLWFuZC1ob3ctdG8tcHJvcGVybHktY2hvb3NlLWEtbmljaGU%3D&ct=SEARCH&pid=8240502&cid=38025225328&t=c2VsZWN0aW5nIGEgbmljaGU%3D&d=blog.creativeagencysuccess.com&c=2&c=3&c=6&rp=1&ab=false&opcid=&rs=UNKNOWN&hs-expires=1671169446&hs-version=1&hs-signature=APUk-v7b_roFz8um-uGAOE3-K0_r1AXQ6Q (How Our Struggling Client Achieved a 556% Average Hourly Earnings Increase (And How to Properly Choose a Niche)) 28:32 https://www.creativeagencysuccess.com/ (CreativeAgencySuccess.com)

Sara Dunn is one of my favorite people to talk to, and for good reason. She’s fun, honest, and has a lot of great insight! Today we’re following up on episode 69, where we talked about her starting to niche down. Now, 2 years and nearly 100 episodes later, she’s fully into her niche business. We talk about making some tough decisions, and how to stay motivated. I truly think this is something every freelancer and small business owner should hear! The post The Importance of Niching Down, Part 2 with Sara Dunn appeared first on How I Built It.

Bud and Sara Dunn are co-hosts of the Confident Couples podcast. In this episode we'll break down what it takes to build and maintain a strong relationship.

In this special episode, you will get to hear us being interviewed on the “Confident Couples Podcast” hosted by Bud and Sara Dunn. This was such a fun, humorous, and much needed topic about the impact that technology and social media has on modern day relationships (who doesn’t experience this right?!) Both sides of the positive impact and some of the areas that there may be ‘negative’ impacts on your connection, both of which you will even be surprised by! In this episode you will know some of the positive and negative impacts of social media (that you wouldn’t normally think about) on modern relationships. You will then be able to make new agreements, set healthy boundaries, release the hold onto some assumptions you may have about your partner, and maintain (even restore) trust and connection within the relationship. With all this said, you will be able to use social media and technology within your relationship to continuously be even more connected and on the same page with your vision!  Questions asked in this interview What are the things you see that are impacting and challenging modern couples with social media and technology?  You say a big takeaway for couples is to make agreements around using technology, what are some examples?  How can couples use social media and technology productively within their relationship?  What advice is there for one partner when they do not agree with the type of content their partner looks at and consumes?  How can a couple recover from a “trust breaking event” as it pertains to social media and what they look at?  Is it necessary to make these grand public professions of love for our partners for every single life event? If I don’t, does that mean I’m not being the best partner I can be?  Quotes: “Most couples are just holding on to assumptions about their partners, when what they really need is agreements. This makes all the difference in your trust and connection”. - Jocelyn  Connect More With The Guests: Connect with “Confident Couples” and Bud & Sarah more at: 1)Website: https://budandsara.com/ 2) Instagram: @BudandSara Other Resources: 1) Get a FREE hard copy of the book The New Power Couple (just pay for shipping).

This is the first roundtable of Season 8 where Matt Medeiros, Jason Resnick, Sara Dunn, and Nathan Allotey discuss the changes in the WordPress community. Each business owner talks about the challenges over the past year and how they have specialized in a niche or WordPress service. Listen to this episode: Matt Report - A WordPress podcast for digital business owners Productized & niche business owners sound off on the changes of WordPress Play Episode Pause Episode Mute/Unmute Episode Rewind 10 Seconds 1x Fast Forward 30 seconds 00:00 / 00:36:58 Subscribe Share RSS Feed Share Link Embed Download file | Play in new window | Duration: 00:36:58 Watch this episode: What you will learn in this Episode: Many WordPress freelancers and agency owners are specializing or finding a niche in their businesses, They discuss how they need to adapt and change to the WordPress climate. Jason Resnick – helps designers and developers specialize in their businesses and helps them with their revenue. Jason has two podcasts and is very experienced with membership sites. He can be found at Rezzz.com. Sara Dunn – owns the boutique agency known as 11Web Agency. She has specialized her services and offers SEO for the Wedding Industry. Nathan Allotey – can be found at nathanallotey.com. He is a freelance web designer and digital marketing strategist in Texas and hosts the freelance podcast which helps entrepreneurs with their startups. Positioning Your Business: Sara Dunn –  never positioned her business where she just used WordPress. She concentrates on web design and marketing and offers the best option for her clients. She sees many agencies shifting to other platforms like Squarespace, which better suits some small website clients. Jason Resnick – Business owners need the tools and technology that is right for their respective businesses. WordPress is still a great tool for developers but you need to work with the best fit for your clients. Be sure to ask the questions, “what is the problem that the business is trying to solve?” “What is best for your clients?” You can ramp up a business with less technical skills and you can build a great solution for your clients using WordPress. Nathan Allotey – the changes in the tools and marketing are shifting to target small business or the entrepreneur looking for click and drag technology. People's perception has changed on what WordPress designers and developers offer. There is a shift to usability and quick website building. There is much more to a website then a pretty presentation. The conversation shifts when the client tries to add functionality. Benefits of Specializing: Nathan Allotey – Your unique perspective and voice can help you target the audience where you want to specialize. You want to show your authority in your space. Sara Dunn – uses YouTube with consistency to speak to other freelancers with the struggles she comes up against. The channel is used only for fun but other freelancers can see the challenges that may be presented in their business. It helps Sara build authority as somebody who has “been there/done that”.  You can expand your services into other areas of consulting with ancillary services like YouTube or Podcasting consulting for your clients. Jason Resnick – will experiment with many platforms. He has a daily and seasonal podcast called Live in the Feast.  A guest can ask a question that Jason will answer on the show. People will often complain on social media, so you can show your authority by replying to the complainer with help. Becoming a Podcaster in your niche can be a great marketing tool for your services. Cold Connections through Emails or Tweets: Emails or Tweets can be used to easily find people to help you on your channels. Nathan Allotey – always try to find a common connection. Do not be lazy and reach out with a common interest if you do not know the person. Research their site and channel. Be genuine and authentic. Try to find a spot in their schedule if they are willing to participate. Sara Dunn – pitches within her Wedding Industry niche to be on other shows since she does not have guests on her Podcast channel. Being a guest on other podcasts have been an amazing way to find clients. Hotseat Question – Work Goal for the Year? Jason Resnick – working on a split schedule where he will work only in the morning and then again in the afternoon.  He is working on staying focused during those scheduled hours and shares that schedule with his customers. Sara Dunn – Be mindful of the work you are doing and enjoy it. Define what your favorite projects are and why. Keep notes on your projects to help you with your decisions. Nathan Allotey – Choose to focus on one thing that gets you to your goal. Nathan is researching a product pyramid service of providing road mapping sessions for a client to plan out the projection for the year. Nathan is also working on a book around the user experience where you can help create the perfect website.

This week I interview Sara Dunn [powerpress]

Sara learned that being a generalist meant that every time she took on some sort of new task or service, it was slow to figure out and she wasn’t always billing hourly so that burden fell on her to ramp up as fast as possible. When she took on services or clients that were similar, she had already done all the learning and education. She was in a better position to sell form and market herself because she had experience in it. Completing the work was faster too because she already had some process to work through. Back in 2015, she sent out an email to her team with the benefits of specializing:More efficientProduced better workEasier to marketPositioned as an expertStrong negotiating position And then away they went. I finally feel like I'm selling something where I can say I have more knowledge than the other person you're talking to. via @sara11d Sara went through a lot of the struggles and emotions a lot of entrepreneurs go through and very much felt on her own island. But she found that by publishing her journey on YouTube, that there was a community that was also going through the same thing. Sara now has that position in the market where she can say that she’s really confident in what she does, she’s really good at it, and it’s unlikely that you are going to find someone who’s better at this specific thing. She never felt that as a generalist web designer. Episode Take AwayIf you’ve ever thought about specializing your business or services, what questions did you ask yourself? We dive deep into what Sara did. I would encourage you to download the Freelancer’s Framework which I’ll link up in the show notes. This will help you start the journey by reflecting on your current business. Then as Sara shared in her number piece of advice, ask yourself “what moves can you make and what decision can you make tomorrow that moves you into a more specialist position?”

(3:54) Another remote coworker was brought on to help with design. (4:11) A Virtual Assistant was added to keep projects and everything organized. (4:22) Lessons learned: When you are looking to hire a remote worker for your business you can give them a test project to evaluate their skills. (6:40) A remote worker needs to be able to meet deadlines and communicate well. (6:50) You need to find people who are comfortable with the remote working lifestyle and are used to working alone or on the road. (7:15) Challenges of Growing an Agency: There is a challenge of trying to find the “right” customer who is willing to budget and pay for the level of service that you are providing. (8:26) Many new customers are found through networking events and referrals.  (8:50) The pool of people who want to pay for a great website gets smaller as the prices go up. (9:00) It is difficult to find clients from a wide geographic area when you are working as a generalist. (9:19) It can be very helpful to create an interesting niche for your business where clients take notice. (9:40) Making the pivot in your agency to a specific group of businesses can be scary. There is a lot of training, marketing and adjusting of internal processes when you make a change to specialize. (11:22) YouTube is a great tool to use for personal branding and to create a niche for another industry.  Sara is focusing on wedding professionals and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). (12:26) Executing a Business Pivot: You still need to pay the bills and collect money so launching another business under a new brand and separate website makes sense. (14:29) Keeping the original brand and business keeps the risk lower and current customers happy. (14:40) There is not a strategy for using YouTube around a personal brand. (16:19) The videos are created with a genuine approach with “this is how I feel.” (16:52) The feedback from viewers has been very genuine and supportive around the pivot. (18:11) Pushing content with a helpful approach can direct the audience to a common thread. (20:06) The audience seems to find the videos coming from a place of honesty and originality and is keeping people connected. (21:16) The YouTube video creation consists of 1-3 hours a week. (24:36) You do not need a lot of equipment to get started with a quality video that is original.
