66: The Horrible Marketing Advice You’re Getting Online (And What to Do Instead)

The online buzz for growing your business is to offer freebies, build your email lists, and you’ll get more clients, right?!

Wrong! This is just not true, especially if you’re brand new to freelancing or even looking to sustain a healthy 1:1 service provider business online. In fact, this approach is actually one of the worst you can follow!

In this episode, I’ll tell you why this is so wrong for your business. Plus, I’ll walk you through the exact steps you need to take to grow your online business profitably, and without burning out or wasting time!

In Today’s Episode We Discuss: 

  • Why freebies shouldn’t be the first thing you build (and when you should take the time to do them)
  • The Three Must do’s to Grow
  • Steps to level up for more money, more quickly

You’ve heard, “build your email list, offer freebies, and grow your clients.” This just doesn’t work when your new or starting to build your business, Why? Because you spend a lot of time, money, and energy doing this and make no money! Now, you’re burnt out and frustrated.

I have said this before and I will say it again. Three things you Must do to grow your business. 1.) One on One service provider. 2.) Have conversations in person and online, network, and get referrals. 3.) Make some revenue! You gotta put yourself out there! Check out Free Mama TV, search “clients” there are several videos on these three topics.

Let’s say, you have regular clients and you’re ready to level up. This the time for an email list and freebies, Right? NO! Create something that makes you money! Start with your core offer, build a funnel around it, create an opt-in, and then do a trip wire funnel.

You gotta walk before you can run, you need to bring in revenue. Listen, use the support and guidance available in the Free Mama Programs and the Facebook Group! Create success for your business not burn out for you.
