Have you traveled recently? I have not traveled since February 2020 when I attended Social Media Marketing World in San Diego. I miss it! OK, I guess we drove our RV 15 hours to Arizona in March...an adventure with 3- and 5-year-old boys...and not quite the same as getting on a plane for the professional events I'm used to attending. I'm really looking forward to the start of our first in-person Symposium in 3 years and seeing many of you in Philadelphia on April 10, 2022. By the way, the early bird registration closes Oct. 20, so get it now if you want the savings.

In the meantime, we have an international colleague connection opportunity right around the corner with Career Jam: Where Experts Forecast The New & The Next. Last year's event was the first time we went all virtual and, by all accounts, it was a smashing hit. Such a fun experience to learn from and chat with colleagues from Australia, Canada, the U.S., Singapore, and beyond. I'll be announcing the 2022 Career Industry Trends this coming Tuesday on the trends live stream. I'd love for you to listen or watch when you have time and let me know your thoughts on these trends and any suggestions you have for resources or speakers.
Speaking of 2022...what are your goals for your career or business? What could you do now to start putting them in motion?
Reply and let me know. I can't wait to hear what you're up to!

OCT 27 | Stabilize Your Client Flow: Create a Lead Magnet |
|
|
Marketing research shows a potential customer needs to see our content 7-9 times before they'll make a purchase. Social media can help us achieve those goals, and with dwindling views and unexpected outages, it is becoming more important to own access to your community. When you have direct access to your community you can do better market research, create connections, have a more consistent client (and $cash$ flow), and earn more referrals. Getting someone to give over their email or phone number (text communities are on the rise!) isn’t that easy. We need a valuable resource that addresses their burning questions.
Join this hands-on session where you'll walk away with a COMPLETED lead magnet. Plus get your choice of 2 templates from the CTL and RWA library or worksheets, checklists, and more -- use them as inspiration, a starting point, or adjust a few things and start promoting your valuable resource! We'll cover: - How to research the questions your audience is longing for someone to answer - How to decide on a topic that meets their needs AND drives business to your higher-cost services - How to decide if you want your lead magnet to be free or paid (yes, you can make money while building your list...and might even have better results!) - How to design your lead magnet in a few different popular and widely available platforms (and what you might not know about template copyrights!) PLUS your choice of two of our templates with permission to adjust them and use them right away - What works and what doesn't work...this is a *hands-on* session where you'll do a mock-up and get feedback from peers - How to host and sell your lead magnet from any shopping cart with a host of options for delivery
Start building your community of prospective clients and ambassadors today!
