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.

Amanda Berg is on the show this week spilling the tea on BRANDING. On this episode we cover: 1. What the heck IS branding? Is it really just about brand colors or is it something else? 2. Is there an order of importance? 3. How important is branding if we’re just getting started? 4. How can you brand different offers? Meaning – if we have a membership *and* a course, how can we make the branding different enough so it’s clear it’s a different offer, but also aligned enough so it’s clear it’s from the same person? 5. What aspects of branding do people tend to miss all together? 6. Do you have any tips for finding your “copy voice”? Anddd more. We also did a deep dive into what’s working in her business, and I just LOVED her tips on growing and managing a very large team, plus never missing a deadline and why that is pivotal to her overall process and the experience of her clients.

Inside of this episode I answer this question and do a little mini audit of her page with these goals in mind.“The marketing/messaging roadblock I am having is that, no matter how I present my content, I struggle with having my audience take my quiz or engage with me. It has led to starting and stopping posting on Instagram. I recently fine-tuned my messaging and am still trying to figure out how to use Instagram strategically. I had 2 people last year sign up for my freebie so hoping maybe this year, it might be higher.”We cover:The actual PURPOSE of social media (that people seem to be very confused around)Why we’re using the wrong metrics to measure the success of our marketingWhy you’re probably NOT growing your email list off of social media, and that doesn’t mean it’s not working for you.Ideas on how to promote on a platform that wasn’t built for promotionIf you’re struggling with results on social, this will help.Resources discussed:Join the Go-To Coach Club Waitlist: gotocoach.club/g2ccwaitlist
