Inside My Skill Sessions Membership This Week…
This is a new section I’m adding to the newsletter.
My Skill Sessions membership is the simplest way for experts to acquire the skills they need to grow their business and I know you’d find it helpful.
So I’m going to share snippets of how I help my 500+ members with you each week.
For example…
This Wednesday, members will join me for our monthly Jam Session where they can get one-on-one help with their work.
I’ve already gotten great questions from them for this week’s call including:
• Giving a member feedback on their one-line niche description
• Helping a member come up with a marketing plan for their upcoming book
• Helping a member figure out how to balance developing a personal brand without it conflicting with their day job
I’ll share in-depth suggestions tailored to them in the Jam Session, but here’s some general advice about those topics for you:
• When it comes to your niche or positioning, always go a bit more narrow and specific than you feel comfortable with – it’s better to be too narrow than too broad.
• The marketing of a book is just like anything else – successful marketing is as much (or more) about what happens after publication as it is what happens leading up to the launch.
• Your “personal brand” isn’t something you create – it’s a reflection of what you do. That means your day job should HELP you build it, not hinder it.
