Before you begin to start marketing and selling your products you should look at your business model as a whole.

I want you to take a good look at your market.

Now, take a good look at your market potential.

Can you capture 25% of the market share of your target market?

There are thousands and thousands of organizations, coaches, service providers, info products, representatives, multi level marketers, bloggers, experts in their own field, gurus, etc… Your Money Mojo is hidden in your uniqueness not your sameness.

Are people crystal clear on what you do?

It is imperative that you position yourself first place in your target markets mind. You do that by putting systems in place.  Your clients must go through a seamless process that flows.

Do you have systems set up?

I used to work behind some of the top internet marketers business models, one thing they all had in common is systems.  The systems supported them in cultivating proactive relationships and that supported them in leveraging opportunities.

Here is a sample case study of a current client that I am currently supporting with her Mojo.

Here is an example of questions I asked her prior to creating her Mojo. This particular client was interested in working with women celebrities and public figures.

Let me put my coaching hat on:

Okay Jane Doe let’s get started…

1. What are the top three things your clients want most?

A: To have better communication with their family, to make more money, to give back to the community.

2. What are their top three fears?

A: Getting a divorce, having poor health, not leaving an inheritance for their children.

3. What are three solutions you currently provide for this problem?

A: Lifestyle coaching to help with her relationship with her husband and family, access to resources to support her in project management, creating a business and life plan.

Answering these initial questions was an important step before finalizing her Money Mojo, and the answers also helped Jane Doe recognize various opportunities she might have missed. To complete my evaluation, I asked additional questions:

• What method of access do you want to give your clients face to face, email, phone, video, or snail mail?
• Would you be interested in partnering with talent agencies and publicist to provide services to enhance their clients brand image?
• Have you considered targeting the organizations and associations many of these public figures are members of, such as the NBA Wives Association, The Professional Sports Wives Association, or WEEN?
• Have you considered connecting with women in the entertainment industry who would like to start their own businesses or philanthropic venture?
• Since many affluent women travel, have you looked into partnering with travel agencies, and perhaps offering coaching services along with a retreat during All Star games when most wives are home alone?

Based on her answers, it was time to design Jane Doe’s Mojo. Her initial responses revealed the three main concerns of her target audience: (1) Image and Brand; (2) Health and Wellness; and (3) Family legacy. Using these concerns as the root for Jane Doe’s solutions, here is a sample product funnel we developed together:

Level 1:

- A book and audio CD package  Price: $20-$100.

- A private membership community featuring weekly or bi-monthly teleseminars, guest speakers and resources. Price: $297-$497 a month.

Level 2:

- An VIP seminar, featuring guest experts specializing in finance, health and relationships, led and facilitated by Jane Doe. Price: $1000-$3000.

- A quarterly bootcamp–offered either live as a vacation-style retreat (preferred for this target audience). Price: $3000-$9000.

Level 3

- A group coaching program comprising three modules: finances, health and relationships. The end result is a personalized life/business plan for each client. Price: $300-$500 a month.

- Individual coaching. Price: $500-$900 a month for 90 days or 6 months.

Keep in mind, any of the events featured at the different levels can also be recorded and offered later as info products.

How can you begin to work your Money Mojo? We all have it, we just need a little support in packaging and assembling it. For the month of August ONLY.  Here is what I decided to do and my coaches are screaming at me right now for doing this, but I will take the heat if you step up to the plate.

Are You Ready To Get Your Mojo?

If you’re ready to start creating your Mojo, then here’s how we get started:

1. Purchase your consultation using the link below.
2. You will be immediately sent to my online calendar so we can get you scheduled.
3. I need you to show up transparent and ready to take action.  I have to get a full diagnosis of your Money Mojo, so honesty is the best policy. Each session includes an hour or so of check ups, questions, answers and solutions.

You’ll walk away with a customized Money Mojo, action steps, an implementation plan, and a better insight and perspective about your uniqueness.

If you don’t walk away with what you expected, I will immediately refund your payment. No questions asked, no lost love, no unfriending you or unfollowing you.

Ready, Set, Go

How are you going to make your mark on society?

What can you change to contribute to the history we are making?

We have one of the biggest assignments in the world, and that is to create.  We birth children, communities and we nuture them all. Our contribution to this world is enormous and calls for a celebration, not once a year and then one day in May for Mother’s Day.  We need to be celebrated throughout the year.

I would like for you to reflect on the women who have supported us, the women who have paved the way to make it possible for women to have a voice.  This little clip from Sesame Street just adds a little flavor to the fact that WE CAN BE ANYTHING WE WANT TO BE.  This is just a reminder, just in case if you are sitting at home, at your desk or behind the cubicle wondering and wandering.

What are you going to do to contribute to this ongoing movement to make this world a better place.

MARKETING TO WOMEN QUICK FACTS

Emails, even email blasts, work just fine for ordinary communication, but if the self-employed mom needs her clients to see something she created, for instance, a Web video, then she has two outlets: Youtube and Ustream. Everyone is familiar with Youtube (www.youtube.com), in a lot of cases thanks to Susan Boyle’s Youtube video that went insanely viral. Ustream (www.ustream.com) is slightly different from Youtube because it’s live streaming.

To effectively market a video posted on Youtube is to post it in your blog also. Follow this up with a tweet, a Facebook announcement and an email blast to your blog subscribers and to your alliance partners. Facebook friends can send to their friends and in that way spread the word about your products or services. Since you now have a Youtube account, the site will accumulate all your postings in one place. This means if you post on a regular basis whether weekly, monthly or quarterly, all your posts are in one place.

Ustream is a live feed and so lends itself to something like video conferencing because there’s a section next to the video for people to comment and ask questions. It’s a quick and easy way, pretty much set the camera and go, to brand your services or products and find a global audience. Again, announcements of when you’ll be posting the video are necessary to reach your subscriber base and outreach to others.

Make sure you get the word out there with your video it can make wonders happen for your business. Create and experience that goes viral.
