    Growing your audience is an integral part of running your online business. It is one of the most straight forward ways to scale your income and earn more while doing the same (or less) amount of work.
    But so many business owners are scratching their heads when it comes to growing your audience. How do I get discovered? How do I get the word out and make people aware of my business? And maybe most importantly, how do I find the right kind of people that are looking for what I have to sell?
    I'm going to dive into all of that and more in today's episode. After jumping on this episode you'll know exactly how can grow your audience over time what you need to focus on next to make that happen!
    In this episode you'll learn:
    Why so many online business owners struggle to grow an audience (hint: they have it completely backwards)
    My best slam dunk audience growing marketing strategy, that is both simple, effective and will work 100% of the time
    How you can find the gems in your marketing strategy, so you can cut your audience growth time in half!
    Hope you enjoy!

      I ordered the book and started reading it. I love your RUclipss. The thing that stood out the most was when you said if you dont get people to disagree with you then you're not saying anything different. I make prolific statements all the time on my Facebook page that get people to talk! Thanks for reaffirmation of this!

    Here's something, Graham: You mentioned that free value content gets shared. Well after teaching on RUclips and giving free content for 4 years I got contacted "out of nowhere" last month and was invited to be a featured speaker at the 2022 eCommSellers Summit. I'm thinking why would they choose me? Come to find out, the host was part of a private group and a member of the group mentioned me. The host went on to follow me from time to time for a year and decided I was a fit. This never would've happened otherwise. Think about it the other way around and imagine me contacting the host and asking to be a guest. NOPE!

That is my preferred style of content, but I’ve invested a ton of resources (time & $$$) into vastly ramping up my video (and audio) production capacity this year, so I’ll be producing a lot of RUclips videos, both for the new solo artist music project I’m about to launch and for my e-commerce site that I’ll eventually build an online course to support. Thank you!

    Graham, I absolutely love your stuff. Your videos, your posts, everything. It has me on a Kajabi trial, creating outlines for courses, revving up to start my course-based business. It is exciting. And I personally love that you integrate your faith. Without our Maker, we would have NONE of these gifts. BUT, I need some help here. Your central tenet is to work less, and how you made a lot of money working 5 hours a week. I see how much content you put out, how many interviews you're on, etc. And even filtering out the automated stuff, I'm struggling to see how you could actually do all of this in only 5 hours per week. My biggest concern is that I'd get into this (course creation, content generation, podcast outlines/podcasts) and it would overwhelm me, causing me to work more. How do you do all of this? Again, you are one of a few life changers for me. Thanks for all your mentoring folks like me through! Cody T

    "I smell really good, friend." Hahaha! Love it! Man, you hit on so many good points. Serving others, being bold and taking a stand all resonated with me. Especially the point you made about validating others. Many people have questions or feeling like no one is talking about what they are feeling and hitting on a point they resonate with is so powerful. When you take a stand and are polarizing, you get noticed. So many good take-aways about creating content. My head is going to explode! Fantastic! I had a recent surge in traffic on my first ever "how to" video. Definitely sent some people into a tizzy while others loved the video. I must be doing something right! Thanks for the affirmation, my friend! I smell good, too! Blessings

    Graham, thank you for this. Often people can be afraid of the very words they need to hear the most. Keep talking about your values and your faith, as they guide you in business. For those who may shudder or judge, I can only say that they will learn one day. Creativity and success in business often emerge at the nexus of formidable moral values and a sound work ethic. You’re setting the example for us all now-and for those who don’t understand how your Christian worldview shapes your business, give them time. I believe people will learn one way or another that a spiritual outlook must be fully integrated into their life, and that includes their business. Once we center our business in something deeper and more grand than simply commerce, we find we serve our customer’s even better and experience greater fulfillment.
    That’s my two cents. Anyways, can’t wait for the book. 😀Cheers!

    Re-watching this one again. Very good advice and information as usual.
    One of my challenges the past couple years is the loss of my voice. As a life-long musician that sucks, because I'm now relegated to instrumental music.
    in business, while I do actually have a speaking voice, it's not at all suitable for podcasts, videos, or anything else that requires speaking.
    Currently trying to figure out how to get things done without using my voice.

    Perhaps podcasts don't count as sm, but posting content on RUclips and LinkedIn for examples do if I am not mistaken?
    Please clarify for me.

    Pre-ordered the book a week or so back and looking forward to reading later this month. Something I am learning to focus on is being consistent in my content production. I have a new weekly podcast that I have been consistent with, but I might blog one week and not for another two weeks. Part of the reason is that I am trying to be in all of the spaces (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc). I am scaling back and focusing on three spaces you, ironically, mentioned blogging, podcast, RUclips. Then sending that content to LinkedIn and Instagram only at the moment.
    I have used your suggestion of breaking down the content into buckets. In addition, I have created a weekly rhythm for posting the content.

    • @WhatToSellOnAmazon
      @WhatToSellOnAmazon 2 года назад +1

      Something that worked to keep me consistent in weekly RUclips videos was bringing on my best friend. It took a while to get him onboard but he learned how to produce for me so I didn't have so much on my plate. The big shift was that the channel and the vision was bigger than me once someone else joined the team. I can't remember the last time we went a week without publishing and I never could've done it alone. You'd be surprised who might be excited to share your purpose!

    I definitely don't agree re ads. You can literally go from zero to $100k months running ads in a matter of weeks. You can't do that with content. And this is where MANY people get it wrong. They spend 2 years mucking around creating content, to suddenly realize they're operating in the wrong niche, or have the wrong product, or their offer sucks and noboday wants it. Thats FAR more expensive than ads.

    I tried a couple of your forms which were supposed to provide PDF and things in exchange of email address. But, the only thing these forms do is taking the email address and displaying different errors when they need to provide the resource. I thought it may be a bug at the first time. But, trying multiple forms on your web pages and facing the same strategy with different scenarios I'm now thinking maybe it's just a shit show to collect people's emails.
    Maybe you consider yourself smart at marketing, but if you knew how easy it is to take down a frozen target on the internet, you wouldn't scam people with this much peace of mind. I'll give one of your forms another try in a while and if it still is a scam gate, the only one responsible for the consequences is the one who's built and promoted them!
