WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.680 All right, good morning. Welcome to Office Hours. Here we are, January of the new year, 2 00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:14.660 and I want to welcome all of you. If you're listening to the recording, we miss you. Come 3 00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:20.560 live because this is the place you get to come and ask your questions. And so Julie 4 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:26.780 was on the line here with me, and we're talking about the power of a newsletter and the purpose 5 00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:34.700 of a newsletter, and how to really use a newsletter. I have been a big fan of having 6 00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:41.800 a newsletter. In fact, I started having a newsletter in 2012. So I've been at it for 7 00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:50.140 a while, the Prosper Inspirational Newsletter. And so some keys for a newsletter. Number 8 00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:58.540 one, of course, consistency creates momentum. So I encourage consistency. So you can do 9 00:00:58.540 --> 00:01:07.820 once a month. However, with our very distracted attention span, you're really not going to 10 00:01:07.820 --> 00:01:14.900 be front of mind, having a newsletter once a month. So I recommend once a week. And I 11 00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:22.300 recommend that you choose the same time every week, you will notice, I don't always hit, 12 00:01:22.300 --> 00:01:29.580 but a huge portion of the time, my goal is to have the newsletter out by noon on Sunday. 13 00:01:29.580 --> 00:01:36.220 And because my newsletter tends to be faith based and inspirational, Sunday was a really 14 00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:41.940 great time and having it arrive on Sunday felt really good. Start your week with that. 15 00:01:41.940 --> 00:01:48.580 So I encourage you to pick a day, you know, if you're dealing with how to's or practical, 16 00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:54.000 you might choose Monday morning, we were talking about what can you do in a newsletter, a newsletter 17 00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:01.180 can be inspirational, a newsletter can be how to, it could be a combination of a lot 18 00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:08.259 of things. And so if you create a little bit of a format for your newsletter, it makes 19 00:02:08.259 --> 00:02:14.460 it easy to write. So for many years, I had a format and it just had categories within 20 00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:20.820 the newsletter. And so I would open always with a did you know, and I would introduce 21 00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:26.340 a topic. And then I would follow with why it matters. And that's where I would make 22 00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:32.340 it relevant for their business, for their faith, for their life. And so, you know, did 23 00:02:32.340 --> 00:02:39.500 you know why it matters, I would often include what scripture says, so I'd have a verse or 24 00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:44.900 something about what the Bible says on the subject. And then I would finish with a how 25 00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:51.860 to or the steps, in other words, how to implement it. So it had a range of kind of a freshness, 26 00:02:51.860 --> 00:02:58.140 a how to an inspiration, and it left them with action steps they could take. Now, one 27 00:02:58.140 --> 00:03:04.020 of the powers of having a newsletter is it keeps you very front of mind. So if you're 28 00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:10.460 not going to do anything, so let's suppose, for example, you have a lead magnet. And so 29 00:03:10.460 --> 00:03:16.100 you have to think about your customer journey, right? You think about where does your customer 30 00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:21.640 find you? And what do you ask them to do? So if you're offering a freebie in exchange 31 00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:28.240 for their email, okay, so now they give you their email, you give them their freebie, 32 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:34.280 but then what? And that's where most people drop the ball, or they're very inconsistent. 33 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:43.520 And so of course, I want to back this up and say, growing your email list, and nurturing 34 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:52.640 your email list is your most valuable asset. You really don't have a business if you don't 35 00:03:52.640 --> 00:04:00.220 have an email list, okay? When people come to buy a business, that's the first thing 36 00:04:00.220 --> 00:04:05.280 they're going to look at, is your customer base, your list, your circle of influence. 37 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:10.320 And then of course, they'll look at assets if we're talking physical building or computers 38 00:04:10.320 --> 00:04:18.519 or whatever. But for us that are in the online space, that is your asset, okay? And so we 39 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:26.260 look at it a lot of ways. It is your asset in that this is the gift God has given you. 40 00:04:26.260 --> 00:04:33.400 If someone has trusted you enough to give you their email address, you want to consider 41 00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:39.760 that sacred. That's a sacred honor. That's a sacred gift. And you want to be looking 42 00:04:39.760 --> 00:04:46.560 at it as to how can I add value to those people who have trusted me with their email? 43 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:52.800 So it's not about spamming. So some people think that when they get their email list, 44 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:58.240 that means that you could just post, oh, having a sale. Hey, come to my new group. Hey, I just 45 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.000 started a new program. Hey. 46 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.900 and they're just using their email list for spam 47 00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:05.220 and everybody's gonna drop off. 48 00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:07.860 There's no connection, there's no relationship. 49 00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:11.900 So you wanna be focused more on giving than asking, 50 00:05:11.900 --> 00:05:14.340 but that doesn't mean you can't ask. 51 00:05:14.340 --> 00:05:15.900 And so there's seasons, 52 00:05:15.900 --> 00:05:19.980 but the first thing is having a purpose and a method 53 00:05:19.980 --> 00:05:23.260 and having a time and being consistent 54 00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:26.700 in getting your email out there 55 00:05:26.700 --> 00:05:28.980 and making sure it's really valuable. 56 00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:32.300 And you can do an ask in the email 57 00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:36.100 and I like it in the form of a soft sell in a PS. 58 00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:40.380 So PS, the new program just started, learn more here. 59 00:05:40.380 --> 00:05:42.500 Okay, no one's gonna be insulted by that. 60 00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:44.860 That's not spamming, it's okay. 61 00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:48.380 And it's okay not to have, and you just give, give, give. 62 00:05:48.380 --> 00:05:50.940 You'll notice that you wanna have seasons 63 00:05:50.940 --> 00:05:53.380 of nurturing your list. 64 00:05:53.380 --> 00:05:55.320 It's like a relationship, right? 65 00:05:55.320 --> 00:05:58.940 Relationships are like a bank account, right? 66 00:05:59.780 --> 00:06:03.580 So you're making deposits and you're making withdrawals. 67 00:06:03.580 --> 00:06:06.420 So any relationship, and that includes your relationship 68 00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:09.200 with your customers or your email list, 69 00:06:09.200 --> 00:06:12.300 any relationship that you're consistently making withdrawals 70 00:06:12.300 --> 00:06:14.060 is gonna go bankrupt, right? 71 00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:16.380 It's gonna overdraw, right? 72 00:06:16.380 --> 00:06:19.020 So when you look at it that way, 73 00:06:19.020 --> 00:06:20.700 you wanna be putting so much more. 74 00:06:20.700 --> 00:06:22.900 You want your bank account to be growing. 75 00:06:22.900 --> 00:06:25.660 You wanna be putting so much more 76 00:06:25.700 --> 00:06:29.340 into your bank account. 77 00:06:29.340 --> 00:06:32.620 And so I look at it that way that I'm always looking 78 00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:34.700 with the question, how can I add value?

129 00:09:08.620 --> 00:09:11.460 And I have not been on LinkedIn a long time. 130 00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:15.460 I've been on it, I don't know, since 2012, 131 00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:18.580 but I've started using it in the last maybe three months, 132 00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:21.460 four months, I mean, really using it. 133 00:09:21.460 --> 00:09:23.460 Once in a while, I'd throw some bones over there, 134 00:09:23.460 --> 00:09:25.180 but to have it really be a platform, 135 00:09:25.180 --> 00:09:28.980 I consider my platform and really work with it, it's new. 136 00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:33.980 So I'm definitely new, I'm not huge by any stretch. 137 00:09:35.020 --> 00:09:37.860 I mean, I've got 3000 followers, 138 00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:39.260 more than 500 connections. 139 00:09:39.260 --> 00:09:42.220 So I'm here and my consistency has paid off, 140 00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:46.100 but I'm not a rockstar on it. 141 00:09:46.140 --> 00:09:49.220 And I'm just only pouring value into it 142 00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.220 in the last few months, okay? 143 00:09:52.060 --> 00:09:54.500 So, and you can always see your analytics, 144 00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:58.140 and starting to have probably four or 500 145 00:09:58.140 --> 00:09:59.540 looking at it all the time. 146 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.920 When it comes to the newsletter, the first thing, 147 00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:07.100 having a newsletter on LinkedIn as another option 148 00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:09.600 in addition to your email newsletter. 149 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:14.280 And so to do that, you have to turn the creator mode on 150 00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:17.040 and be established as a creator. 151 00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:18.780 So that's the first step. 152 00:10:18.780 --> 00:10:22.840 Well, when you turn the creator mode on, 153 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.400 it gives you this wonderful benefit 154 00:10:25.400 --> 00:10:29.140 called the featured section, okay? 155 00:10:29.140 --> 00:10:33.340 And this allows you to showcase a few things, right? 156 00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:38.340 And so I went ahead and created both a subscription here 157 00:10:41.940 --> 00:10:46.940 on LinkedIn as well as going over to my email. 158 00:10:49.220 --> 00:10:54.220 So by doing this, it's pretty amazing without even trying. 159 00:10:55.100 --> 00:11:00.100 I got, I think, close to 400 people in a matter of months. 160 00:11:03.340 --> 00:11:06.740 So it's a great, it just added an extra 400 people 161 00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:08.780 that I'm building relationship with. 162 00:11:08.780 --> 00:11:12.300 So, and it's just been growing very organically 163 00:11:12.300 --> 00:11:14.700 and I've been posting. 164 00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:17.380 So that's what I recommend. 165 00:11:17.380 --> 00:11:21.980 The newsletters are kind of unique on LinkedIn. 166 00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:23.140 I like them. 167 00:11:23.180 --> 00:11:26.420 So let's take a look, for example, 168 00:11:26.420 --> 00:11:29.840 at what a newsletter might look like, okay? 169 00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:34.260 With a newsletter on LinkedIn, you get an intro. 170 00:11:34.260 --> 00:11:37.540 It'll ask you at the end, after you've written it, 171 00:11:37.540 --> 00:11:40.660 it will ask you to give two or three sentences 172 00:11:40.660 --> 00:11:44.260 what it is about, okay? 173 00:11:44.260 --> 00:11:47.980 And it also has you create this, 174 00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:50.580 it's the size of like a YouTube 175 00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:54.780 where I think is really a showcase 176 00:11:54.780 --> 00:11:56.260 because people will see you. 177 00:11:56.260 --> 00:11:59.460 It's got the title and you can put your picture or whatever. 178 00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:02.980 So I think that's important for your branding. 179 00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:07.980 And so if you looked at a newsletter, for example, 180 00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:13.900 this is what it would look like for someone to see it. 181 00:12:13.900 --> 00:12:18.900 You'll have a big title and then you are able, 182 00:12:19.180 --> 00:12:21.820 and I believe in newsletters, 183 00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:26.700 using bolding and breaking it up into chunks 184 00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:30.820 to make it really easy to do. 185 00:12:30.820 --> 00:12:33.540 I like the fact that you can highlight quotes. 186 00:12:33.540 --> 00:12:37.280 I think it makes the text look really open like this. 187 00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:40.380 So I was talking about a certain book 188 00:12:40.380 --> 00:12:42.420 and I put a quote there 189 00:12:42.420 --> 00:12:47.120 and I often even make my own quotes. 190 00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.760 There are Bible quotes, like you can see right here, 191 00:12:50.760 --> 00:12:54.040 some biblical wisdom that I've put in there. 192 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.120 You can put an invitation. 193 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:02.000 In this case, I went ahead and put an invitation 194 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:07.000 to the Prosper Leader membership at a discounted price, 195 00:13:07.160 --> 00:13:09.080 but you'll notice something, 196 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.640 and you do this on all social media, 197 00:13:11.640 --> 00:13:14.020 link goes in the comments. 198 00:13:14.020 --> 00:13:17.500 If you put link in the content, 199 00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:19.980 you will not get a good algorithm. 200 00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:22.060 It will hurt you badly. 201 00:13:22.060 --> 00:13:24.160 So never, if you're marketing something 202 00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:27.620 with a specific link, you finish out 203 00:13:27.620 --> 00:13:32.620 and then you go back and you put it in the comments. 204 00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:35.940 There's the link, okay? 205 00:13:35.940 --> 00:13:39.620 And so that's a little bit about adding 206 00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:42.360 not just your email newsletter, 207 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:47.360 but also going ahead and adding one in LinkedIn 208 00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.320 because it just gives you a whole new population 209 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.000 that they're subscribing. 210 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.840 And that's another active audience that, 211 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:59.400 so you could repurpose your newsletter 212 00:13:59.400 --> 00:14:01.720 and you could use the same one 213 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.040 or you could repurpose it a little bit 214 00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:07.200 knowing that the audience may be different. 215 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.640 If the audience is the same, don't worry about it. 216 00:14:09.640 --> 00:14:11.720 So does that help you?
