Launch communities

{E41} Sally Hope Talks Getting Started With Online Communtites

Renegade life coach, Sally Hope joins me today to talk about all things community. A former musician, she soon realized that she loved having access to people but wanted to help them in a more focused way. At the suggestion of a band mate, she looked into life coaching and got certiifed.

Creator of the first B-School group 5 years ago, she has since gone on to launch her own community, Wildheart Revolution in which the focus is the entire person and not just the business aspects.

We talk about how to launch communities, why you should do it because you believe in community and connection and not just do it for the money because it is a lot of work!

Key Takeaways:

  • Get clear on your goals and WHY you are starting a community.
  • Do it because you believe in community & connection.
  • When you start a community, you are part of it and not just the ONLY voice of it.
The version in your head, is not the version that comes out in real life. #community #launching

Systems and Tools

{E39} Getting Your Tech House In Order with Maya Gaddie

Maya Gaddie joins me to talk all things technology. When you’re in the growing phases of your business, it’s time to get serious about systems and the tools you are using. We talk about email marketing systems, customer relationship management, project management as well as managing your day-to-day tasks.

Key Takeaways:

  • Having systems in place and the tools to support you is key.
  • Tools like Boomerang help you manage your inbox and email workflow for example, answer client emails on the weekend but have them scheduled to go out on the weekdays.
  • No tool is perfect, while it’s important to look to the future and plan for growth you also have to keep in mind where you are and start somewhere!

Fast Fix Fridays

{E38} Small Landing Page Tweaks For Big Results

Welcome to the Friday edition of the Business Ignite Show where I answer your questions! Got a question for a future episode? Tweet me @SandySidhu #BusinessIgnite or drop me an email sandy@sandysidhumedia.com

This week I talk about a recent change I made to my webinar sign up flow. I optimized my thank you page and added two calls to action and saw a huge increase in Facebook likes and opt-ins to my private online community Ignite Online.

In the past, I would say my thank you page was kind of “meh” and not really taking advantage of the fact that people had opted in and I now had their attention.

Instead of sending them to a page with a call to action, I was simply sending them to the page where they would be watching the webinar live (in a few days). Talk about FAIL! They would be getting that link anyways!

Before

After opting in to the webinar, they would be sent to this page telling them that the webinar was happening in a few days. They would also get an email confirmation.

LandingPage

After

Now, after opting in I send them to a page with 2 calls to action. The information with webinar details goes straight to their inbox.

The Results

I promoted this webinar over a period of 5 days and made this change around day 3.

In just two days, I added 75 people to my Facebook page as well as doubled the size of my newish community.  I then went ahead and also made the change to my regular opt-tin and hope to see similar results over time.

I could probably even add a video but for now I will leave it like this and use this as my new webinar confirmation page.

I used LeadPages to create this page (and also use LeadPages for my webinars) but you don’t have to.

Have you experimented with your landing pages? What kind of results did you get? Let me know in the comments!
