Like it or not, first impressions matter.

Yes, even though we’re told to avoid judging a book by its cover, it’s human instinct to make instant judgements when we meet a person for the first time.

We’re looking at how they present themselves.
What they wear.

How they do their hair.

Which accessories they add etc.

It creates an overall image – and makes a big impact on how others perceive them.

As an expert in the styling and branding industry, today’s guest, Silvana Patrick, knows this topic very well.

And she’s here to help you become more confident with your personal branding style.

Let’s get into it!

In recent podcasts, I’ve mentioned the fact that I’m moving more and more into the content marketing strategy space.

Yes, I’m still doing the copywriting stuff – along with the help from other high-quality copywriters – but I’m keen to put more weight behind the strategy side of things.

Because if you don’t have a marketing strategy in place before seeking assistance from a copywriter for your website copy, blogs, email sequences, whatever – you’re at risk of purely ticking a box and not actually achieving what you set out to do.

And that’s attracting and retaining more clients, right?

But I realise that some people have no idea what I mean by the words ‘content marketing’.

This episode is well overdue – and I apologise for that.

So today, I’m going to break it all down and explain what content marketing is – and how it works in your health and wellness business.

Money.

That thing that’s often stereotyped as “the root of all evil”.

With many of us feeling that if you love making money, then you’re probably not a nice person – or some distrustful scum who’s obsessed with it.

But, is that really true?

Doesn’t money help good causes when used by good hands?

Doesn’t it create more opportunities and grant people greater chances of achieving an affluent and carefree life?

In this episode, business coach and money mentor, Clare Wood, debunks the many misconceptions about money-making, empowers people to have a healthy money mindset and management, and offers some fab tips on how to multiply those zeroes in our accounts!

So if you’re ready to earn more ka-chings… then let’s get started!

If you looked at the title of this episode, you would see it’s another guest episode.

Yet I’m talking to another health and wellness copywriter – Kara Stokes.

You might be thinking ‘Leanne, what are you doing? Getting a direct competitor onto your podcast?!’

But the thing is – Kara and I have worked together in the past. And probably will work together again in the future. We’re a great example of how two similar-minded women can actually help each other out. And be companions, rather than competitors.

Anyway, in today’s episode, we’re chatting about the top 5 common content mistakes made by health and wellness businesses. Kara brings up some fantastic points – and you’ve probably made a few of these mistakes yourself. (Don’t worry – I won’t tell anyone!)

Let’s get your content up to scratch. Grab your notepads or notes section of your phone, and let’s get started!

Are you forming real relationships with your potential and current customers?
Or are you only really touching base when you’re keen to make a sale or upsell them?

Think of it this way – which of the following appeals to you more –
Having someone, who you haven’t heard from in ages, randomly reach out to you with a sales offer?

OR

Hearing from someone fairly regularly, building a friendship with them, and then going to them when you’re ready to buy?

You are your business. And relationships go a long way. You need to be thinking long term about the people in your network.

Today, I’m chatting with business strategist and marketing mentor, Annelise Worn about relationship marketing.

It’s another fab episode – and I know you’re going to love it.

How much effort are you putting into the headlines of your marketing collateral, blogs, emails, and job advertisements?

Are you just throwing together some boring words that summarise the content? Or are you doing research into it and experimenting with which words are likely to draw people in?

And is your copy actually encouraging potential and current clients to take action?

What I’m talking about here is direct response marketing and copywriting. That is – putting together compelling words that drive sales.

Nikhil Rughani is an expert on this topic and I’m excited to share the following podcast interview with you.
Even though I’m a fellow copywriter, I learnt a lot from Nikhil – and I’m sure you will too!

Are you constantly trying to reach out to new clients?

Or are you nurturing the leads currently in your sales funnel?

Actually, scrap that. Not sales funnel. Let’s say sales journey. It feels nicer when you put it that way!

Well, it takes someone 10 to 15 touchpoints before they buy from someone.
That means you need to be prepared to consistently show up in your marketing – especially in the digital world – and remain top of mind. Because the right people WILL buy from you at the right time.

They just need to know, like, and trust you first.

A couple of my most recent clients admitted to stalking *ahem* I mean, following, me on LinkedIn for a few months before reaching out to do business with me. So keep on going!

Today, I’m chatting with Kym Heffernan from South Coast Digital Marketing, who has a wealth of knowledge to share when it comes to digital marketing. Just a heads up – the internet connection plays up here and there, but I’m sure you’ll be able to dig through those issues to find the gold nuggets of advice.

Are you someone that struggles with Dyslexia?

Or maybe you work with someone who does?

Or maybe it’s looking like your child has the condition?

It’s interesting to note that one in five people have Dyslexia – but it continues to be misunderstood. Being Dyslexic doesn’t make the person stupid. However, when society tells you that you are, over and over again, throughout your schooling and work life, you can’t help but believe it.

The truth is – people with Dyslexia see the world differently.

Yes, they may struggle to read and write – but their varied, outside the box, way of thinking actually presents many more opportunities than restrictions.

Today, I’m chatting with Yogita Ridgley from ‘Travelling with me, myself, and I’ on the topic. As a confident woman and successful business owner, she is living proof of what can be achieved when neurodiversity is embraced. Our conversation completely opened my mind on Dyslexia. And I’m sure it will have a similar impact on you.
