Digital Marketing Strategy for Creative Business Owners + Solopreneurs
This week we’re talking about communities, which is kind of a funny topic for me to be excited about because I am super introverted and I love working alone. LOVE. IT. Like on the couch, with my laptop, in my quiet apartment, typing away all day long. No one asking questions. No one needing anything from me. No one interrupting my flow. I’ve been working…
I see you over there, scrolling through Instagram, watching what everyone else is doing and trying to figure out how to make their strategies work for you. I know you’re doing it because I’ve done it too. But the problem is – whether you’re trying to grow on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, etc. – if you’re watching from the outside you’re only seeing part of the…
Last week we talked about growing your Instagram engagement by showing up with more of your personality, more of your stories, more of your experiences. (Listen to that episode here) This week I wanted to drop an episode with actual strategies you can test to help you boost your engagement. Give it a listen and then share a screenshot on Instagram, tag me @xosarahmorgan, and…
Let’s talk about Instagram engagement. How do you get more people to leave comments, send DMs, respond to stories, share and save your posts?? Because engagement is the biggest factor in growing your audience. Remember, Instagram only shows your posts to a small percentage of your followers to start. If those followers engage with your post, that signals to Instagram that your post is worthwhile…
This week on The Dare to Grow Show I’m answering YOUR Instagram questions! It’s almost Q4 which means I just sent out my audience survey and received a bunch of Instagram questions, so that’s what we’re going through today. I’ve got answers for: ✓ Getting more engagement ✓ What info to give away for free vs paid ✓ How to show up on Instagram as…
This week I want to talk about being confident and owning your expertise. I’ve been editing lots of sales pages for my Dare to Grow students lately and something I notice (not just with them, but with lots of businesses) is a tendency for solopreneurs to skate around our expertise when speaking about the skills people will learn, the transformation they’ll experience, or the goals…
This week I thought I’d give you an update on what I’ve been focused on, what I’m doing in my own business, some personal updates. I like hearing the behind the scenes stuff from other business owners (not just the cute stuff they share on Instagram) and getting a peek into what they’re working on, so I thought you might be into that too! Resources…
Last week we talked about specific productivity hacks to help you get more done during your workday. So this week we’re going to talk about the mindset that goes along with it. Because as you’ve probably figured out, planning in advance, focusing on the priority tasks, time blocking your day isn’t always enough. Our minds like to get in the way, slow us down, tell…
I don’t know about you, but this past week has been jam packed. I just onboarded all the new Dare to Grow students so I hosted lots of coaching calls, we just got a 5-month-old puppy, and my boyfriend has been working extra long hours. So I’m trying to get as much done as possible, keep my work days short, and still be a rockstar…
Does this sound familiar? You know you should be working on a certain task or project and you’re fully aware of the potential it has to grow your business. It’s even in your calendar, but every time you even get close to one of those tasks, you push it back. You keep telling yourself – I’m not quite ready, I’ll do it tomorrow, next week…
Generally when we talk about self-care, it’s taking a bath, going for a walk, or meditating. And while I’m very into all of those things, there is a different type of stress that comes from putting yourself out there, running a business solo, and testing strategies not really knowing if they’ll work. Which means it’s important to implement a different level of self care within…
My digital product coaching program, Dare to Grow, is open for enrollment right now (last time I’ll be running it this year) so I want to give you a bit of a head start in figuring out what type of product you should be creating. Obviously online courses are very popular right now, especially with lots of offline businesses moving online during COVID. Courses are…
If Nike didn’t have dibs on the slogan “Just do it” I would totally use it for my business because teaching solopreneurs how to be confident about taking action is my FAVE! In this week’s episode of The Dare to Grow Show we’re chatting about why it’s so hard to stop over-planning and overthinking and focus on DOING. I’m sharing an example from my own…
Enrollment for Dare to Grow, my coaching program dedicated to helping you create + launch a digital product is opening NEXT WEEK (August 3rd) So in this episode I’m sharing what you need before you dive into creating your first digital product. (Whether you’re going to hang out with me or make it happen on your own!) Yes, you need to pick an ecommerce platform,…
I never have enough time to create content! Let’s be honest, with the number of platforms we’re on, creating content and showing up daily can be really challenging. How are we supposed to produce posts for our blog, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, podcast, and email list, PLUS tend to our customers and clients, AND still have time at the end of the day for the 500…
If you’re putting in a ton of work, doing all the things, and not making enough money in your business, this episode is for you! I totally get it, unless you’re a business coach, marketing, sales, and social media aren’t your expertise. Plus there is endless amounts of information and a lot of it is contradictory, which means it would take you like 10 years…
Is your to-do list full of tasks that move you toward your goals or tasks that just keep you busy?? This is an issue I see all the time when my clients and students decide to take on something BIG – creating a course, launching a podcast, stepping up their income goals. They’re all excited, making big plans, ready to rock and then…distracted by random…
How do I find the right hashtags? How many hashtags should I use? Why did my hashtags stop working?? In this week’s episode I’m sharing my recent hashtag experiment that tripled my impressions from hashtags on a whole bunch of my posts. Per usual I’m simplifying the strategy so you can gain new followers and give your posts a boost without wasting hours researching which…
The year is half over and with all the quarantine stuff, weeks are flying by even faster now. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been extra focused or if my brain + body are just trying to move through the rest of 2020 as fast as possible. If you’re also wondering where the last 3 months went and are feeling like you’re falling behind,…
Why is it so difficult to do the things we say we want to do? To stay accountable? To complete daily tasks, stick to deadlines, create content consistently. Last week I was chatting with my mom about sticking to my workout schedule and how she’s been able to stick to hers. For her it was doing a workout video that she enjoyed, but for me…
