Why Selling Your Own Stuff is SO Hard (And How to Fix It)
|
Howdy Reader! Selling stinks. When I worked for other people, I had no problem selling our services. I love recommending great products and services from brands and influencers that I know, like, and trust. So why is it so hard to actually sell our OWN products and services? Listen, I’ve heard all the sales tropes like, “you sell the sizzle, not the steak.” Or, “go after the low-hanging fruit.” And even “this is a win-win situation for both of us!” Now, if I had a tree with low-hanging sizzling steaks, THAT would be a win-win. I’d never leave the yard! Seriously though, selling is hard and not something that comes naturally to a lot of people. That’s why I’m really excited to shine the spotlight on selling on today’s show. I was blown away when I saw Conor Brown speak on the art of selling at Momentum this past year. (Don’t tell him that; I’d never hear the end of it.) He helped everyone who listened become more confident in selling their products and services, and I know he can help you, too. So join us today at 10 am central and ask your questions on selling that you’ve always been afraid to ask. See ya there, -Jeff Are you looking for powerful features without sticker shock?

Howdy Reader! Quick question… have you opened Canva lately and thought, “Wow, this is a lot”? Between new tools, new buttons, and new features arriving every other week, even seasoned creators are feeling the pressure to keep up. And if you’re running your business, making content, and trying to stay consistent online, design can easily chew up more time than you planned. That’s why I’m excited about this week’s Creator News Live. I’m bringing on Maliha Khan, a designer and strategist who’s...
Howdy Reader! This is one of my favorite times of the year. Not just because of all the wonderful food (looking at you, pecan pie) but also because of the Christmas music. How early do you start listening? As soon as I push back from the Thanksgiving table, right before I settle my brain for a long winter's nap, I hit play on my favorite curated playlists. BUT, Christmas traditions can generate a lot of controversy… For me, the question of whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie is a...
Howdy Reader! Have you noticed search feels… off lately? The Google traffic that used to roll in has now disappeared faster than a toupee in a hurricane, and AI tools are answering questions before anyone even clicks a link. If you create content or rely on it to bring in customers, you can’t ignore what’s happening. That’s why I’m bringing Rich Brooks back on the show this week. Rich is the founder and president of Flyte New Media (nearly 30 years helping businesses grow), runs The Agents of...
