M&M #008: A Huge Opportunity & Asking For Help
Listen to the audio version here. It’s actually me talking to ya.
🤯 Marketing ➔ A Huge Opportunity
Do you think social media platforms have a lot of users?...
What if I told you there’s another platform that way outranks all social media when it comes to active users? 👀
Prepare to have your mind blown…
According to Buffer.com In 2022:
🤯 Instagram has 2 billion monthly active users
🤯 Youtube has 2.2 billion monthly active users
🤯 Facebook has 2.9 billion monthly active users
Now get this…
According to Statista:
🤯 There are currently 4 billion daily active email users
🤯 This number is projected to be at 4.6 billion by 2025
Notice that I’m talking about monthly active users for social media and daily active users for email! 🤯 Sheesh…
Please please please tell me you’re leveraging email marketing in your biz.
If not, you better get started like now…
But with a steep learning curve and a load of mixed-up advice, email marketing can be tricky to learn and even more costly to outsource.
So with that, I offer you a near-perfect solution…
Simple Email Marketing - my brand new digital course designed to give you everything you need to be successful with email marketing.
You’ll get all the fundamentals without the fluff and I designed it to apply no matter what industry you’re in or what software you use. Psst… the email software I use is ActiveCampaign (affiliate link)
This will save you years of trial and error. 💯
Thanks in advance for the support - I genuinely believe you’ll learn a lot.
Remember the stats from above!
Email is just too valuable to not be leveraging it.
🆘 Mindset ➔ Asking For Help
I met someone on the other side of the world the other day - 8 people in fact.
And they all opened my eyes to something that will stick with me for the rest of my life...
Lately, I’ve been asking myself the following questions a lottttt:
👉 You want to make great money, right?
👉 You want to be proud of your work, right?
👉 You want to fulfill your life dreams, right?
👉 You want to cherish these young years with your kids, right?
👉 You want to accomplish this while you’re young and healthy enough to do so, right?
But the most important question of all…
👉 How do you expect to get there on your own?
Being a solopreneur can often get confused with meaning you have to do everything yourself and figure it all out on your own but that’s just plain wrong.
Whether it be for council, idea-sharing, or getting certain tasks done, we as humans can do better when we share the workload.
Just in the past 6 months I’ve hired a business coach, started using online workers to help me get certain things done, and am now in the interviewing process of hiring my first assistant/team-mate.
One of the first projects they’ll help me with is getting these newsletters out, posting them to my blog, and publishing the audio version to all the streaming platforms. Cause what’s not fun is cramming every Sunday to get this all out to you on time. Every week. (it’s Sunday morning as I write this, and once again I’m feeling a bit rushed 😅)
Here’s a simple formula to help you determine if and where you need some help.
1) Determine your goals - incl. Career and life goals
👉 How much money do you want to make?
👉 How many hours do you want to work?
👉 What impact are you aiming to make?
2) Put a deadline on all of your goals
3) Ask yourself, “What kind of support do I need right now, or next?” Pick 2 of the following…
👉 Daily tasks that pile up?
👉 Sorting out ideas?
👉 Staying focused?
👉 Developing a biz plan?
👉 Someone to share your challenges with?
👉 Something else?
4) Google around and search LinkedIn to see what other similar professionals are doing to get the support they need.
I tried to do it all myself and the only person it was hurting was me and the pace at which I hit important milestones in my biz.
There’s nothing wrong with asking for help - It may be the very thing that unlocks the next successful chapter of your career.
Until next time ✌️
