Marketing #Unfiltered
Sophia
In “Marketing #Unfiltered," you don’t just learn awesome stuff to help you figure out marketing, you get the BTS scoop of building a business — the hilarious, the traumatic, and the “omg thank god I’m not the only one.” Hi! ✋🏻 I’m Sophia Parra and I’m a social media strategist for coaches. For years I ran an agency where I helped multiple six figure and seven figure coaches create content and strategies that build their following and drive traffic to their offers. My guests and I swap biz horror stories AND share notes around the strategies that took things to the next level. I also show up solo twice a week to answer YOUR marketing questions. So if you’re craving a podcast that feels like the perfect mix of biz talk with a coach and a catch up with your friends; grab a margarita and pull up a chair. I’ve got painfully relatable stories to make you laugh (or cry 🤣), and strategies and perspectives that will help you show up consistently and effectively.

Ep 68 | Don’t pick your brand colors without listening to this
Today I have a bubbly treat for you. Kelsey Kurtis is on the show talking about BRANDING. But… not in the way you’re probably used to talking about it. (Logos, fonts, and colors!)She talks about how branding isn’t just about what things look like, it’s about how you’re making people feel and the relationships you’re building. So of course – as the self proclaimed relationship queen – you already know I got alllll into that! But then she’s ALSO insanely knowledgeable about the aesthetic piece. For instance, ever heard about color psychology and what the colors you choose actually mean??Me neither. This part BLEW my mind! Here are other things we talked about: ➡️What exactly her connection method is ➡️Step one for getting started with defining your brand — I absolutely love this tip ➡️What brand colors mean and a little behind the scenes on the mistakes I’ve made with my colors. Like I said, I was amazed with this part! ➡️How often you should have brand photo shoots and some tips of the trade from Kelsey ➡️Her personal social media strategy ➡️And a ton more. Plus, at the very end, she shares an AWESOME homework assignment that I seriously recommend you do.

Ep 64 | 3 IG stories that generate sales
Today I’m sharing three Instagram Stories that…➡️ Create your go-to coach factor ➡️ Make it super clear what you do ➡️ Creates engagement ➡️ Tells stories ➡️ And make sales Stories are the most BINGED piece of content on Instagram.

Growth without solid nurturing systems and content will do NOTHING. So if you’re looking for some structure around how to show up on Instagram stories to nurture your existing audience so that you actually see a conversion, this will help.

Ep 63 | How to go from making money to generating wealth with Haley Burkhead
Haley Burkhead knocked my socks off in this conversation. If you think creating wealth just means making more money in your business – you need to listen to this. If you think creating wealth means investing in stocks – you need to listen to this. If you think creating wealth requires you to basically have a whole new job outside of all the things you already do – you need to listen to this. Haley shows us that creating wealth is absolutely possible regardless of your background, education, or how much money you currently have. In fact, one of the things that blew my mind is her approach to creating wealth WITHOUT putting any money down at all. We cover…☑️…motherhood (a sensitive topic for me!) and why we need to be open to paving our own path and having our journey ☑️…the 3 stages of wealth ☑️…how to create wealth systems without spending any money ☑️…different kinds of money makers (that actually have nothing to do with your business) ☑️…why putting wealth systems in your life does NOT add as much extra time as you think (hint: Haley works and manages her wealth in 3-4 hours a day, the rest of her time is totally free to spend with her family or however she sees fit) And more. WAY more. She is a WEALTH of information, no pun intended 🤣This episode is brought to you by…What The Heck To Post (Now called, The Go-To Coach Club… but unfortunately we haven’t updated our sales page yet. Ha!): www.whatthehecktopost.com Here’s what’s going on this month inside the community: ➡️Jillian Murphy – Sales QUEEN – is coming in to coach our members on their sales.
