A Golden Nugget
Today, I’m going to share with you a simple GOLDEN NUGGET – especially if you plan — or, are already on your way to building a 6-figure business – whether it’s “online” or “brick and mortar” or both!
This “nugget” of advice has NOTHING to do with selling anything.
YET, it’s the entire reason I’ve sold millions of dollars worth of health related products over the last 35 years.
Weird, right..?
This business tactic is so important, that when I first speak with any of my private coaching clients — it’s the very first thing we discuss.
Now you might be thinking… “Uh oh… this is going to be something really “heavy” and “complex.”
NOPE!
It’s Simple!
It actually amazes me how many marketing experts NEVER talk about this.
Or, if they do, it’s like a “side note.”
Maybe it’s too basic. Too simple. Or, maybe it’s presumed… that all businesses already do this.
THEY DON’T.
Perhaps you’ll be disappointed since I’m building this up so much.
The fact is, in your heart-of-hearts this is something you ALREADY KNOW.
It All Boils Down to This…
The most successful businesses, from Apple to Nike, started with a simple, straightforward “concept” which becomes a tactic and eventually a culture.
I hope this makes sense.
Everything I’ve mentioned above — the best advice ever — the Golden Nugget — whether it’s products or services, it all boils down to this:
QUALITY COMMUNICATIONS & CONTENT
Yes… yes…. I know. You’ve heard this before… that CONTENT IS KING!
And, it’s still true — but, even more so today than ever before.
Especially if you plan to monetize your “online” services.
Quality Communications and Content are already becoming the driving forces behind the growth of the most successful health and fitness businesses.
If you want to take advantage of this “Golden Nugget” here are three easy tips:
3 Principles of Quality Communications & Content
✅ All of your COMMUNICATIONS and CONTENT must be clear and concise. But, even more important, it must provide your readers, viewers, listeners and potential clients with enormous VALUE.
✅ All of your COMMUNICATIONS and CONTENT must demonstrate your understanding of their problems — and offer a SOLUTION to fix them.
✅ All of your COMMUNICATIONS and CONTENT should leave your readers, viewers, listeners and potential clients with at least ONE GOLDEN NUGGET and/or ONE NEW WAY to ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS.
Ask Yourself This…
“Is my online presence more than an electronic brochure?”
Do you add value to the user’s experience? Do they leave your website with more than when they entered?
Did you offer something of value?
Examples:
✅ For example, all ONBOARD 101 administrators offer value with the opening 5-minute video on their home pages. This is CONTENT.
✅ Some trainer and coaching websites offer simple “beginner” or “101” type workouts via Video Demonstrations for Free. This is CONTENT.
That added value often leads to upsell opportunities at various price points — from advanced workouts to one-on-one coaching.
✅ Some health coaches offer 7-Day Nutrition Plans for free. This is CONTENT.
Again, the added value may lead to upsell opportunities at various price points — from super customized nutrition plans and detox strategies to one-on-one consulting.
✅ One health coach who markets his services to traveling executives and sales professionals has created a niche workout program called “Road Warriors” using resistance bands. The first 5 video demos are FREE. This is CONTENT.
He demonstrates (video) various exercises and how to do them inside a hotel room (his videos were shot inside a Quality Inn Motel room). In addition, he includes listings of “healthy restaurants” at every major metropolitan city in the U.S. He even includes a special star for “healthy” eateries and includes a link to Door Dash. Did I mention that he also sells the exercise bands via eCommerce?
Almost all membership and coaching websites offer tremendous value for free — with even more value upon the purchase of a membership.
Value Content Will Always be King!
Listen, in real estate, it’s location, location, location.
In online business, it’s CONTENT, CONTENT, CONTENT!
