The Marketing Freelancer: Unicorns Unite

Funnel Series #3We’re diving into two hot topics in the online business world: when to gate your content and how to make forms work for you. To help us nerd out, I’ve brought in Liz Coralli, the training manager at ActiveCampaign. I was at this training this past spring, where she mentioned she could chat about forms for an entire episode—so of course I had to have her on!Liz runs Study Halls—multi-day, in-person workshops where she helps attendees dive deep into ActiveCampaign’s powerful features. She makes this tech feel approachable and fun. Based in Colorado, she loves exploring the Rocky Mountains but is also traveling the world with ActiveCampaign, leading workshops that I highly recommend for anyone looking to level up their skills by specializing in the tech that the higher-level entrepreneurs are using.Listen to learn more aboutThe difference between gated and ungated content and the value each bringsWhen to consider gating specific types of contentThe questions you should and shouldn’t include on an opt-in form to avoid scaring off potential leadsThe age-old dilemma every marketing assistant faces: to double opt-in or not?Why specializing in high-value platforms like ActiveCampaign is better for enhancing client engagement*I need your feedback!

Funnel Series #2We’re diving into the three different types of funnels and how to know when your client is ready for one. I’ve brought on Jenn Robbins, a conversion copywriter with over 13 years of experience, who’s also racked up hundreds of millions of views with her fun GIFs. Jenn has worked with a variety of high-level clients, including NYT bestselling authors, 7-figure digital educators, learning management system companies, and non-profits. She’s a funnel and launch expert here to help us simplify the funnel process so you don’t feel overwhelmed, and you’ll leave with the three key steps to building a successful funnel to think on your feet inside your client’s business. Her big theme for funnels is flexibility. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach, and copying what others do won’t cut it (Sorry, Russell). This is why your clients need YOU to tailor strategies that work specifically for them and be able to help them build it out.Listen to learn more aboutWhat Jenn wishes marketing assistants knew about funnelsHow to know if a client is ready for funnels & where marketing assistants can help with these different stages of developmentWhether freelance service providers should have funnels for their businessThe biggest mistakes Jenn sees & what’s working currently with successful funnelsTune in to sharpen your skills so you can confidently audit, build, refine, and support the funnels that attract the buyers who will ultimately purchase your client’s product.*I need your feedback!
