LaptopLauraBook Writing, Copywriting, Podcast [listen here!], Psychology

Positioning yourself in your niche as an expert…how can we do that best?

My lead domino is with a book.

But, our guest today loves social media most of all! And she told me before we officially started recording:

Linkedin is a gold mine for copywriters because it’s all about the copy!

You don’t have to be a pro copywriter to leverage it though…you just have to listen to this podcast! 😜 Next-level marketing and business strategy is what our guest Estie Rand is all about…and she really dishes on LinkedIn and more!

We talk about:
– How to cultivate “word of mouth” referrals and paying business
– What ‘trigger word’ can you give your network so you get lots of ‘right’ clients?
– How to use (small and free) speaking gigs to grow your business [there’s a way to speak to generate business] – ACTUALLY add value in your talk and still land clients
– Tactical tips to adjust your writing slightly to make people feel more connected to you (truthful marketing that also taps into human psychology)
– Neuro-linguistic programming tips (NLP)
– How to create and launch branding strategy and marketing campaigns
– Funny story of how Laura met her husband [Hint: she didn’t have to go far] – Why to not worry about ‘competition’
– What is “core marketing” (listen for the flower analogy! plus 3 small business examples to demonstrate)
[25 minutes in] LinkedIn best practices
– Tools: LinkedHelper, Meet Leonard, Nimble, and low-cost VAs to help!
– Ways to cultivate your audience on LinkedIn
– A secret trick that Estie just discovered! (Find a great connection who’s doing it great, do a search for that person’s connections that are your 2nd and 3rd tier, then connect away!)
– Taking branding and positioning to the next level!
Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
