The Plethora of Smartphones Could Result in Clients
Take a look around you when you are out and about. Try to count the number of people that you see with smartphones in their hands. You might lose track since there are so many of them.
That smartphone can be a huge thing for you. Think of each of those people as potential clients. Who knows … they might be in dire need of coaching and they could learn about you right there on that thing that they are holding in their hand.
You can advertise on popular apps. They might see your ad as they are scrolling and become intrigued. Then you get an email from them expressing interest.
Using Social Media Can Help You A Lot
There is one thing that a lot of people use when they are on their smartphone, tablet, or computer/laptop: social media. They may be using it to follow the news of the day or express their own opinions on certain things or promote themselves. That last one is the main thing for you.
It can be tricky though. You want to gain a following, but you don’t want to turn them off with just constant blatant self-promotion. So you should also take the time to show your personality.
That means that you should interact with the people that follow you. Spend time learning what they want and see how you can provide that. Basically, make it about how you offer benefits to them rather than thinking about what they can do for you.
By taking that approach, the time spent on social media apps can be very beneficial to you in the long run. You could be getting clients for your online coaching and they could then talk about you on their own social media apps and that word-of-mouth could result in even more clients.
You Can Use Email
While email might seem so quaint in comparison to other online marketing techniques – people might still think of that booming “YOU’VE GOT MAIL” from the AOL of the 90s – it can be an incredibly effective thing to use. You have got to be very smart about how you use it.
People can get hundreds of emails a day. Their eyes can quickly glaze over as they are scrolling through them. So you need to get their attention to get them to open your email and then act on it.
Much like your social media presence, you don’t want to be having your hand out all the time saying “Come to me.” Instead, you should provide things of value in the email. Gary Vaynerchuk referred to it as “Jab … Jab … Jab … Right Hook.”
No, it doesn’t mean you should punch your potential clients in the face – even if one of them might make you mad. Offer them several things that they can use in their own life and then make your ask. Make your emails interesting … and then ask them to reach out to you if you have offered them anything of value.
You Can Be Flexible With Your Content
In the past, when you devoted your money to marketing, you were basically locked into what you used. There was very little flexibility – once you put the ad in the newspaper, and ran your television ad, you were limited. You were basically at the mercy of when and where those companies placed your advertisements.
That is not the case anymore. You can decide to devote more time and energy to one area if the metrics are showing that you are having more success there. There won’t be that feeling of being locked in.
This can also free you up to think more outside the box when it comes to what you do with your content. Want to have more personable social media ads? Do that.
You Can Target The Right People
Previously, while you might have a certain target audience, you had to be a little broader in terms of your content since you never knew who might see it. Now there are online marketing tools where you can choose the exact demographics that you want to target.
One example would be: Are you looking for women 20-45 who like ice cream and live in a certain radius? You can have those ads reach them. This allows you to craft things that will resonate specifically with them … and increase your chances of getting them as clients.
This Can Save You Money
You have a budget and marketing can eat up a certain portion. The online aspect allows you to allocate the money more wisely … and spend less than you might have on print ads or television ads in the past. This is especially important if you are starting out and need to watch every single dollar that you have.
Online marketing is usually a lot less expensive – but you need to be wise about where you do it. Seek the places that give you the most value for the dollar. Also, seek growing markets that offer inexpensive advertising for great results.
These are just a few of the things that you can get from using online marketing. Other things include the ability to scale how you want and the ability to get real-time statistics.
As you can see, there are a lot of benefits to using online marketing. 2023 could be a big year for you if you set up your campaign correctly. Good luck!
