The 3 Most Overlooked Essential Elements Of A Compelling Content Strategy

Most people know that sharing content is one of the most effective ways to attract qualified clients.

But so many people are struggling to produce content that brings in any type of tangible result.

Many people are frustrated that their content isn’t getting them clients, and when I look at their content, I can see why. Because there’s so much missing.

You need a strategy that’s easy to execute, without needing to spend hours a day.

And it has an ACTUAL impact on your business.

If you don’t have a compelling content strategy:

  • You have pieces… but not a whole…
  • You only post when you feel inspired…
  • You confuse your audience…
  • It sets an atmosphere of amateurism

Definition of an amateur: one who engages in a pursuit… as a pastime rather than as a profession.

If you do have a compelling content strategy:

  • You stop stressing about what to share and finally feel on top of your content
  • You have a simple system, like paint by numbers
  • You finally start getting clients from your content

There are 3 essential elements that need to be in your content strategy that most coaches are missing.

Then they end up disappointed when their content doesn’t lead to clients.

If you miss these:

1. You can miss out on reaching 75% of your audience who are wired differently to you

2. Your posts get lost in the newsfeed

3. Your content doesn’t resonate with your soulmate clients

Meaning, you’re not able to help people who need it.

Being able to create compelling content that gets clients is a skill we need to develop.

You can check out the video here…

The 3 most overlooked essential elements of a compelling content strategy
Here are the 3 most overlooked essential elements
1. Diversity

We need to use diversity in our content strategy.

We need to be doing different types of content. There’s got to be variety.

So how do we do this?

Firstly, as a coach, you need to be doing written content PLUS video content regularly.

Secondly, you need to be doing a range of different types of content.

Thirdly, we need to create content that appeals to different personalities, learning styles, and preferences.

There are 20 different content types that my clients and I use and we rotate them to speak to different types of people because each piece of content has a different purpose.

Some posts are to attract and engage. Some posts are to build trust, nurture and invite more interaction. Some posts are to convert. Some posts are delivery posts for our clients.

You got to think about the stage of the journey that people are on and what’s the purpose of that post. 

There are 5 different categories of content I recommend:

  • Engage
  • Educate
  • Edutain
  • Enlighten
  • Exchange

Remember your audience is made up of many different types of people. I know we’ve been told for years in the marketing world right to one person speak to one person.

I get why people teach this. But the reality is we’re never just speaking to one person. We are speaking to lots of different people. That’s the reality.

We want to make sure that we’re taking an audience-centric approach.

Otherwise, we miss half of our audience.

2. Consistency

You’ve probably heard this before. You probably know that it’s important. Are you doing it?

Do you have a strategy that you’re sticking to consistently?

If you don’t have a strategy that you STICK to that includes sharing content consistently, you’ll probably find that you get to the end of the week and haven’t posted much.

Or you have posted, but it’s not purposeful content that gets you leads.

You haven’t crafted it. It hasn’t been designed to lead people along that journey.

You might only be emailing your list every few weeks.

You might be posting when you’ve got a more quiet season and then maybe you disappear for a few months or a few weeks.

Then when you come back you’ve lost a lot of that traction and you don’t get the engagement.

When you have a system it’s a relief. It takes a lot of the pressure away and it brings a lot of relief.

For example, my system is every single week I do a Facebook Live.

Every single week that’s transcribed and my assistant puts it up on YouTube and on my blog. On my website. Creates an email and sends that out to my community.

We break it up into little sections and we create social media from it. That’s a system. It’s part of the strategy and it’s consistent.

Consistency matters.

3. Intentionality

We need to make sure every piece of content has a purpose.

A lot of people post content without really thinking about why.

Think about the purpose of your last 3 posts.

Was it to…

✨ Get more engagement?

✨ Attract more people?

✨ Overcome a belief?

✨ Sell something?

✨ Build more connections?

If your content doesn’t have a purpose, it can’t achieve the goal of attracting the right clients.

There are so many things that you need to share with someone before they will invest money in you, and that’s why you need a strategy.

To make sure you’re covering all the points. You don’t overcome objections all in one post. You don’t tell all your stories in one post.

A content journey leads your audience from one step (say a social media post) to the next (maybe giving their email address).

A lot of posts on social media, emails or blog posts, exist as a disconnected function rather than an active part of a funnel.

This means there’s no incentive to do anything after they’ve consumed your content.

Ideally, you want to have action items at the end of your content so that people do something with the information.

Hope this has been helpful.

Big love,

7 Fatal Content Structure Mistakes & How To Avoid Them

Do you get frustrated when you put out a lot of content, and you don’t get enough people responding to it?

If our content isn’t working, it’s usually because of what we’re saying and the way we’re saying it.

There are some mistakes we can make that can put off the very people we’re here to serve and bring transformation to.

Which is why I want to help you avoid them and fix it asap.

Content that makes people want to read and watch has certain essential elements; if you miss them, you can miss out on clients.

When you understand the elements, it almost seems like magic.

But it’s not magic. It’s just about knowing how to make your content COMPELLING.

If we want our words to impact people, we need to know how to create content in a way that inspires and influences people to take ACTION.

Otherwise, we’re just adding to the noise and overwhelm online.

This is why I want to share with you 7 fatal mistakes I see people make with their content structure.

You can check out the video here…

7 fatal content structure mistakes and how to avoid them
The 7 most sinister mistakes:
1. Failing to get attention

There are two things when it comes to attention we want to gain attention and we want to maintain attention.

First of all, we’ve got to grab attention. Then we’ve got to keep them reading all the way through. We’ve got to keep them watching the video all the way through.

We’ve got to make sure that we avoid Instinct resistors. Instinct resistors are those things that raise resistance at our Primal level.

Instinct resistors include boredom – I’ve heard that before. If it’s not intriguing enough people will go past it. People will avoid complications.

If you ask too many questions at the start. If your sentence is really long and the reader or the viewer has to really think about it. If it’s too complicated they’re like “I’m out.”

2. Failing to build tension

Our content needs to be a good mixture of creating tension and relieving tension.

We need to evoke some emotion in people. We need to dial up their desire to want change.

Inspire people to want to actually make changes in their life.

If it doesn’t do that then we’re just reaching them at a logical level and doesn’t influence people to move along the client journey.

3. Ignoring the trust factor

What often happens is that we forget that people don’t see the world the way you see the world. We’ve got to earn trust. It’s time that builds trust.

If you are jumping on a video and people don’t really know you you’ve got to build that trust factor. Remind them of why they can trust you.

We’ve got to be able to share evidence and experience and education.

I call them the three E’s:

  • Evidence
  • Experience
  • Education

Give proof that calms the brain where people feel that hey she knows what she’s talking about. She’s giving me facts and stats.

She’s backing it up with experience talking about clients that you’ve worked with and helped.

Then educating them to learn something new. Learning something that they didn’t know before or seeing something in a different way that’s building up that trust factor.

4. Forgetting to be human

People do business with people that they like. People that they feel good with. People that make them smile.

People that encourage them, support them, inspire them, and get them thinking differently…and being real.

Show up in a way that we are our best selves. We can still show our vulnerability. We can still show our realness.

Be professional. For the sake of your audience show up in a way that’s going to serve them.

Make sure it’s always coming from an audience-centric perspective but remember to be real. Remember to show that you’ve struggled with things that you do still struggle with things.

Show that you are a real human being. You’re not this corporate executive-speaking person that sounds clinical that doesn’t crack a joke.

The. more we share from our heart the more people will connect with us.

5. Not providing enough value

Some people say to be careful not to give too much away.

I get the logic behind this. The thought is, if we give too much, people won’t see the need to pay for help.

But I find that the more value I give away, the more clients I get.

People are always going to need personalised support and help that they can’t get from your free content.

The amount of value that we need to give now to be competitive to stand out online is huge!

I think that’s a beautiful thing because it means that more and more people are being helped.

Yet some people are so guarded about not giving too much away that they’re not being generous.

The more value I provide, the more people want to work with me.

We want to be known. We want to have a reputation as someone who gives plenty of value. Someone who’s generous.

Someone who helps out so many people whether they are going to become a paying client or not.

6. Missing the curiosity factor

One of the most important things our content needs to evoke is curiosity.

Be careful not to say “Hey, in this workshop, I’m sharing everything I know about XYZ”

Someone can think “Oh, well there’s nothing more to learn there’s no point working with her because she’s just taught me everything she knows”

We’ve always got to open loops in people’s minds. Our brain is designed to want to close the loop.

It’s like how Netflix keeps you watching that next episode because you’re wondering what’s going to happen.

It’s why when you’ve got lots to do and you haven’t got a list written down your brain goes at a million miles an hour.

Add curiosity to your content so that people want more.

7. Not moving people along the client journey

We want to encourage people not to just be passive consumers, but action-takers as a result of what they read or watch from us.

A lot of opportunities are missed by not inviting an action step at the end of your content.

Most of your pieces of content should inspire action. Otherwise, they could just be nice thoughts or interesting information, which can add to the noise.

Here are some call-to-action examples:

Type their opinion in the comments

Share their favourite tip

DM you

Download a free resource

Register for your free event

Book in for a strategy session

Join your Facebook group

etc.

Every content piece is chipping away at the limiting beliefs or the resistance or the blocks people have to taking action.

Your content strategy is a series of pieces of content that do that.

It’s about building trust, nurturing, and supporting people.

When you know how to create content that people want to consume…

* You impact more lives

* More people reach out who want to work with you

* Your content turns your followers into your clients

How To Get More Clients Without Using Marketing Tactics That Don’t Feel Like You

Are you tired of feeling like you have to be LOUDER online in order to be noticed?

Or have to post CONSTANTLY so you don’t get left behind?

Do you cringe at the thought of coming across as pushy, high-pressure, or desperate in your marketing?

I get it. No one wants to feel like that.

If you want to know how to attract more clients in a way that feels authentic and aligned with your values…

In this article and video, I share my top tips for attracting clients in a way that feels good to you – and doesn’t require you to ‘shout more’ to stand out.

I’ll show you how to build trust with potential clients online and create genuine connections in a way that isn’t pushy or salesy.

You’ll feel great about showing up, knowing you never have to compromise your values or your integrity to get ahead.

No feeling like you’re chasing after clients. Attract the right clients to you naturally and elegantly.

I’ve been talking to a lot of female coaches about marketing lately.

I’ve realised that a lot of people aren’t marketing to the level they could be because there’s a fear of being someone that you’re not.

There is a lot of marketing out there where you walk away feeling gross.

You can feel like a number.

You can feel like they’re using these tactics on you to manipulate you.

Think of some of the tactics that you hate being used on you.

It feels like they’re not on your side.

What do we do instead?

You can check out the video here…

How to get more clients without using marketing tactics that don’t feel like you
Here are 5 things
1. Model, don’t copy

I always  encourage my clients to model the people that are doing what they want to do but at a much higher level. We all have three to five people that we’re following that we look up to that are very successful in their space.

We look at the Facebook ads Library and create swipe files and research, but we do not copy because if you copy, that will feel really inauthentic like copy-paste marketing.

What we want to be doing is marketing that looks at what other people are doing and says okay I can get some  ideas here that I can tweak and model.

I’m going to trust my amazing brain to come up with creativity that’s uniquely mine. We do not want to use the same language that everyone else is using.

Don’t spend too long looking at your competitors. Please don’t spend too much time consuming because otherwise it’s almost like saying to your brain I don’t need you to come up with original ideas because I’ll just Google it.

We’ve got to be careful when we’re using tools like ChatGBT that we’re not just letting a robot think for us nothing  will ever replace the amazing human brain  

2. Show That We Get Them

With all of our marketing, we need to show people that we get them. Show them that we understand them. The way that we do this is to spend a lot of time with our ideal clients.

The only reason that I can market so well is  because I hang out with my ideal clients all the time.

I’ve been coaching for so long that the conversations the patterns the real-life people that I’m working with are driving my copywriting.

Someone will say to me I’m struggling with this and it’ll be on my mind and then when I’m writing a piece of content it comes through quite organically.

If we’re trying to have an evergreen business where we’re not having any touch points with people consistently how are we ever going to understand people what their pain points are.

What their desires are. What the benefits are of the solutions that we provide. We’ve got to show that in our marketing and then it becomes really fun and creative.

We enter the conversation happening in their head. We show them that we relate and we also enter the conversation happening in their heart.

We show that we get how they feel and we show them a process to help them walk out of the pain and  into the game

3. Reframe Marketing as coaching

This is how you fall in love with coaching.

Think about why you love being a coach – love helping people – seeing people get breakthroughs, have lightbulb moments.

That can happen in your marketing.

I remember working with Jackie Moore who used to say – your marketing will make more of an impact than your coaching will.

When you think about how many people your marketing can reach. Marketing is coaching – marketing is shifting beliefs.

That’s what we do as coaches. We help people shift their perspective.

Marketing can be fun and creative. It’s a playground to play in, where we think “How can I help them shift that limiting belief?”

If you see it in that way, then you won’t resist marketing so much.

It means you’ll sign even more aligned clients, because they resonate even more with you.

“Enter the conversation already taking place in the customer’s heart”

– Aaron Orendorff (copywriter)

4. Develop trust

There  are a few things that help you develop I’m giving you the 3 E’s.

1. Evidence

When we give evidence that our system our way of doing things works it brings a lot of ease into people’s minds. We want to  make sure that we give evidence of people that we’ve worked with.

Statistics, facts, and data are ways of showing that what we’re talking about has proof it’s got legs behind it. You’re not just saying you need to do this but you’re actually giving evidence 

2. Experience

What is your experience when it comes to this area? Any of us can just spout off theory but what is your personal experience?

No one can argue with your stories because they’re your stories. If you insert stories about your own personal experience this is going to build more trust.

3. Education

We can develop trust when we educate people. This is what this video is doing. It’s educating on the different things that you can do to make sure that your marketing feels like you.

It feels aligned to you that’s the education piece. When you use these three E’s people feel safe with you they feel like they trust you.

Remember people need to feel like they know you, they like you and they trust you and those three E’s really bring it to life.

I know that when I’ve been working with clients before some of them have just been missing this piece of trust. They haven’t been actually showing social proof enough they haven’t been giving case studies or testimonials.

That is one of the most important things you can do to build trust in someone.

5. Be relatable, vulnerable, and human

At my recent workshop I talked about how adding humanness is a massive factor in what gets more clients

You don’t need to convince people if they like you and trust you.

if you don’t have that level of humanness where you’re just enjoyable to be with. Where people feel like I’m actually going to really enjoy working with her.

It’s not going to be heavy and hard. She’s not going to make me feel like I’m not good enough. She’s going to make me feel comfortable. I’m going to feel safe.

You want to do that marketing that feels human. That makes you feel good that you put it up and you’re proud of it because it’s got you infused in it.

It doesn’t feel like oh my gosh I’m going to put out this offer and I feel like it’s just a bit embarrassing because it just feels really pitchy.

Be so proud of your marketing because you know it’s you. It’s infused with you. This is often showing that you really get them by showing that you’ve journeyed the journey.

Keep sharing, keep shining, the world needs your words.

5 Things To Do Every Week To Get More Leads

Want to get more consistent leads coming into your business?

Do you ever sit down at your computer and wonder where to start?

When you have a plan with clear steps of what to do each week, you save yourself an ENORMOUS amount of time, and progress your goals RAPIDLY.

Maybe you’d like to see your email list and Facebook group grow, but right now, things are stagnant.

You want more clients, but you’re not sure exactly what to do each day and each week to get there.

There are 3 big mistakes that coaches make all the time when it comes to what they focus on in their coaching business.

Mistake #1: Doing too many different things

I talk to a lot of coaches who are busy, but aren’t getting enough clients and cashflow.

They’re getting stuck in the details, and not spending enough time focusing on RGA’s – revenue generating activities.

Mistake #2: Spending too much time on one aspect of your business

If we don’t take the time to make sure every aspect of our business is working, and plugging up any leakages, opportunities can fall through the gaps.

You’re left feeling frustrated and stuck.

Mistake #3: Staying stuck doing the same strategies

Or using outdated strategies that don’t work anymore. For example, doing a lot of repetitive manual work, instead of installing automated systems to help your business grow.

You can check out the video here…

Five things to do every week to get more leads
Here Are the 5 Things you Can Do.
1. Share A Valuable Piece Of Content

If you share a valuable piece of content every single week, you’ll create consistent  opportunities for people to find you.

if you are consistently producing a valuable piece of content written, video or both. I do both because people want to connect with you.

They want to get to know you. They want to hear how you sound. Your tonality, your mannerisms. They want to see whether they like you. Whether they can see themselves working with you.

Education is the most important way to show people that they can trust you. So teach them cool stuff. Create really cool guides or cheat sheets or checklists or templates or things that they can use.

If you’re putting out value you’ll be surprised at how many more people can find you by being out there consistently.

Show up for your people on a reliable basis, your ideal clients will notice that and trust you more.

2. Record A Valuable Live Video

I’ve been doing this for the last about three years now. Every single Wednesday at 8 PM Sydney time. I might miss maybe a couple a year as I’m on holiday or something like that. But otherwise, it’s just consistently producing value.

Putting it into the guides in my Facebook group so people can access them later. A lot of people watch them on the replay.

I get that not not everyone wants to do a video. You might be thinking I don’t like showing up on video and I get that…

…And I felt like that too. But at some point, we need to make a decision to overcome that blockage or that barrier whatever it is and we need to make a decision and take bold action to do it.

If this scares you, do it. If you’ve been avoiding it, do it.

Do it for your people. Do it to help the people that are in your community

Playing, being safe, and overthinking, it’s going to keep you stuck. 

3. Reach Out

The goal is to add value through your content and overall online presence.

Businesses are built on relationships.

I remember hearing recommendations about holding back on value so that people want to pay you.

But I’ve found that the more I give, the more clients I get.

I’ve found that even if I share every day, it’s only a small percentage of what people need to grow their business.

People need to trust you before they think about working with you. And when you show up giving free value, you build trust.

There’s a great quote by Zig Ziglar, he says “If you help enough people get what they want, you will get what you want.”

Business is a relationship game. More people need to know who you are. If they don’t know you, they can’t buy from you.

Make sure everyone has the chance to know you, everywhere!

If you don’t invest time into developing your skills and knowledge your business is not going to grow.

4. Create A Valuable Free Resource

You can leverage your time by just consistently creating new free resources. And they don’t need to be fancy. For years I did plain documents. Plain written text but I was helping people.

Someone would say, I really need help with this. I would create a guide or record a quick video explaining it. Imagine if you did that 50 weeks a year.

You’d have 50 valuable pieces of content – free resources for people and you’re building a library, a bank, of really helpful cool stuff for people. Written guides. Videos. People, don’t want to get stuck.

People love to consume free stuff that’s directly going to help them with the problem you’re helping them solve.

5 Develop A Valuable Presentation

If you’re not running events, you are missing a massive opportunity for people to connect with you and get a taste of what it’s like to work with you

You hide away and stay invisible to the people you can help…

You don’t have an effective way to get your audience to a place of decision…

You leave money on the table…

You massively leverage your time

You create instant positioning

People get to experience what it’s like to be your client.

Keep showing up, keep sharing, and keep shining my friends.

The Coaching Principle That Changed The Entire Way I Create Content

Do you want to create content that deeply resonates with your audience?

For years, I wondered what secrets marketers had that I didn’t know about.

I knew that some content drew me in, and other content made me scroll past…

But I didn’t realise why.

It wasn’t until I did a coaching course and learned about brain science that I joined the dots.

There are predictable patterns that happen in our brains when we’re filtering information.

We can use this knowledge to GUARANTEE we attract the right people and repel the wrong ones.

Buyers are more sophisticated now, so we need to be smarter and create content that moves people.

When you learn the secrets, it almost seems like magic!

But it’s not magic. It’s simply learning the timeless mind hacks that make our content compelling.

This type of content can turn strangers into fans, and followers into clients.

Learning how to apply brain science changed everything for my business.

What we want to do to make your content compelling. We actually need to speak to different parts of the brain.

What most people do is they speak to the logical part of the brain. People will scroll on past if we use logic – we’ve got to start with the base of the brain.

Most people when they’re scrolling their phone are not searching specifically for logical information.

Often what really draws us in – what is compelling is happening at a subconscious level.

Our subconscious mind is making the decision on what is going to cause us to stop scrolling.

It’s not happening at a logical level, but at a primal level.

This brain-based content creation method is based on Paul D McLean’s work. An American physician and neuroscientist.

His Triune brain theory proposed that the human brain was in reality three brains in one: the reptilian complex, the limbic system, and the neocortex.

Some other modern neuroscience research has shown that there is more to the brain than the Triune brain theory but when I applied this to my content, things started changing for me.

The reptilian complex, also known as the hindbrain is the oldest part of our brain. It’s the part of our brain that’s responsible for instincts and survival.

Think of it like a bouncer at a nightclub. The information won’t get through if it doesn’t pass first through the survival instinct.

People are scrolling on their phones, they see the logic and they keep scrolling because it hasn’t appealed to the hindbrain first.

If we use psychology to attract the right people to us, we want to look at the part of the brain that we’re speaking to.

Look at what our content needs to focus on for that part of the brain.

This on coaching principal changed the way I create content

The first checkpoint is instinct.
The first thing we need to do in our content is start at the base level of the brain, also known as the hindbrain.

What a lot of people do unknowingly, is they work from the top of the brain down, rather than working from the bottom of the brain up.

We start at the hindbrain, the base stem of the brain because that’s the first gatekeeper.

The hindbrain reacts really well to a few different things:

  • Surprise
  • Intrigue
  • Curiosity
  • Safety
  • Interest

People are thinking at a subconscious – is this aligned with my values and beliefs?

The hindbrain reacts negatively to certain things. The hind brain is always scanning for – is this going to be boring? Is this going to be complicated? Is this going to be safe?

You’ve got to make sure your content does not in any way feel dangerous, suspicious or cause doubt.

There needs to be absolutely none of these things, particularly in the ‘attention’ part of your content.

The second checkpoint is imagination.
The midbrain is responsible for imagination. The best way to appeal to this part of the brain is through emotion.

It’s got to be through feeling. We’ve got to create a desire in someone’s body.

This is where we need to talk to the heart-centred vision of the person. Connect to the person’s imagination of their future self. This turns up their desire.

The third checkpoint is the intelligence.
Once we get through the hindbrain and the midbrain, the information gets to the neocortex at the front of the brain. It’s important that our content builds trust at this point.

We need to back up what we’re saying with evidence and experience, with great content that shows people that hey, I know what I’m talking about.

It’s showing that you are trustworthy, that you have credibility.

A lot of people put out well-written posts, helpful even… but they don’t influence the person to take action.

Post are not meant to:

  • Answer every question people have
  • Leave people satisfied and not wanting more
  • Give tips – without giving curiosity

Tips are only one part of the whole strategy. If all you ever do is give people tips, why would they ever want to work with you?

You want to make the tip feel like the tip of the iceberg of all you have for them.

When we get this right, people start to think, “Oh, this is really interesting. I want to know more. I want to go back and watch more of her videos.

I want to be on her email list. I want to read her blog posts.”

Keep showing up, keep sharing, and keep shining my friends.
