051: Marketing Trends You Need to Know for 2018 with Sandi Eveleth

There’s been a dramatic shift in online marketing in the past 1-2 years. What used to work doesn’t work anymore, or at least not the same way it did.

My guest Sandi Eveleth, a digital marketing strategist, and I share strategies you can use now including:

• how to market to cold audiences vs. warm ones;
• the #1 reason to do Facebook Live videos (it’s probably not what you think);
• the new Facebook Local (move over, Yelp!);
• and more.

During our conversation, we hit upon what I believe is THE key to successful marketing nowadays. It’s something you can easily do in your videos, podcasts, interviews, webinars, blogs, and presentations. No fancy tech, no fancy graphics, no fancy lighting required.

Curious what it is? Listen in. :-)

Sandi and I also talk about ways you can practice your presentation and why you absolutely should before giving it “for real.”
