The Digital Marketing Podcast by Exposure Ninja

In every market there are some businesses that STAND OUT with a memorable message, and a ton that blend into the general swamp. The ones who stand out tend to take the lion’s share of the business, so in this episode, we’re talking with Pia Silva about how to pick out the things about your business which you can use to carve yourself a memorable brand. We discuss customer profiling, the use of aggression in branding, pricing, and how small companies can compete (and win) against larger, more established players, all through using the power of branding.

Sick of writing blog posts that no one reads? Fed up with getting no shares on your social media posts? In this episode, Tim chats with Joe Friedlein of Browser Media about how any business - yes, even yours - can come up with interesting stories, creative angles, and the holy grail: content that goes viral. Hear examples from businesses that are *far* more ‘boring’ than yours, and discover how they took an off-piste approach to come up with viral content ideas that had more impact than they could have possibly hoped, earning them awareness and links on a large scale.

This episode is for anyone who has set up an ad campaign, driven some traffic to their website and sat back waiting for sales… and waited… and no sales. Marketing always involves an element of the unknown, and campaigns zero even for experienced marketers from time to time. So what’s the process you need to go through to identify where the blockage lies?   We’ll explain how you can work backward, up through your funnel, to find where the campaign is underperforming. Are you driving enough traffic? Is it the *right* traffic? Are people getting to your site and dropping out? You can read the show notes at https://www.exposureninja.com/episode19 or head over to the blog and read a longer post about this process at https://www.exposureninja.com/website-isnt-making-sales-troubleshooting-digital-marketing/

If you’ve ever wondered how giant websites (like eBay and skis.com) work on converting more of their visitors into buyers, then this episode will be a real treat for you. Khalid Saleh has been in conversion rate optimisation since before it was a recognised thing, and has worked with some of the World’s biggest brands. We’ll be discussing some of the campaigns he’s worked on, the lessons that he’s learned about human behaviour online, and what businesses of any size can take from the experiences of such high traffic websites to improve their own lead and sales volume. Enjoy!

Every business has a sales funnel, even if they didn’t consciously plan it. From someone becoming aware of your business to deciding to make a purchase, every buyer goes through the same 4 stages: Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action. In this episode, we’re going to be looking at how you can accelerate people through your sales funnel using Ninja-style marketing, from increasing awareness to motivating those already familiar with you to take ACTION.
