Is this anything like you?Working your ass off, but you’re on a hamster wheel
Nobody knows you, so you don’t have enough clients in the door or cash in the bank
Wasting your time on Facebook and social media, because all that “promised” ROI isn’t happening
Your marketing falls flat, because your messaging is confusing or bland - so your brand is non-existent...
Your attempts at video marketing have been an exercise in futility, because no one has shown you how to do it right!

Here’s the challenge...
We’re on total “Information Overload”
It’s a crowded, over-saturated marketplace
Seems like no one is listening - too much noise!
Your business is taking over your life
No one cares (until you make them care!)
STOP THE INSANITY!TOO MUCH NOISE...
COPYRIGHT 2013 LOU BORTONE WWW.LOUBORTONE.COM
The problem:
No one is opening your emails
You can’t fill your classes or workshops
Nobody cares about your freebie offers
No one is watching your videos
Hardly anyone attends your webinars
No one cares
According to CNBC, we’re spending 13 hours per week just on email!
COPYRIGHT 2013 LOU BORTONE WWW.LOUBORTONE.COM
Is it crowded in here?Email open rates are plummeting
According to Unbounce, people are more likely to survive a plane crash than to click on a banner ad!
Mequoda says 66% of new subscribers in an average list had no opens or clicks.
69% of subscribers say that “too many emails” is the number one reason they unsubscribe (via Hubspot)
It’s one thing to be “transparent,” but being totally invisible really sucks!
Been There.Hated That.

3 Common Mistakes
1.Focusing on the wrong stuff!
2.Chasing bright, shiny objects
3.Stay tuned for the biggie...
COPYRIGHT 2013 LOU BORTONE WWW.LOUBORTONE.COM
#1: Wrong Focus!
• “Which camera should I use?”
• How is having the “right” camera going to make you money?
• “It’s the strategy, schmoopie!”
COPYRIGHT 2013 LOU BORTONE WWW.LOUBORTONE.COM
#2: Bright Shiny Objects
If you think having Easy Video Suite is going to solve all your marketing or branding problems, you’re in for a rude awakening.
WordPress plugins are nice, but they don’t bring clients to your front door begging you to take their money!
How do you avoid these problems and focus on the right stuff so you can achieverockstar status?
It Starts with the 5 Secretsto Becoming an Online Rockstar!
Each of the 5 Secrets to Becoming an Online Rockstar Have One Thing in Common...
The common thread is “positioning”
COPYRIGHT 2013 LOU BORTONE WWW.LOUBORTONE.COM
Rockstar Positioning...
1.Brand Positioning
2.Content Positioning
3.Social Media Positioning
4.Video Positioning
5.Sales & Marketing Positioning
COPYRIGHT 2013 LOU BORTONE WWW.LOUBORTONE.COM
1. Brand Positioning
It all starts with a breakout brand
It’s the foundation of everything else you’ll do
It defines how you want to be known in the world
“Brands Have More Fun!” (and more customers!)
Branding Tip:Develop your “Who and do what” statement and your “Why you do it” statement!
Who and do what:Whom you help and what you help them do.
I help (target market) make/achieve/have(result)
WRONG: I’m a coach.
RIGHT: I help unknown entrepreneurs become Online Rockstars!
Develop a tag line that says something about who you are...
My Uncle Sal, the loan sharkI’m the guy to see, when somebody needs a broken knee!

2. Content Positioning
Once you’ve got a brand to stand on, you must have products and services to sell!
Creating compelling content... consistently!
Content is (still) king
Your content helps define and reinforce your brand
It’s where the revenue begins!
Content Tip:Create “first impression” content that is too good to be true. Make it absolutely irresistible...
COPYRIGHT 2013 LOU BORTONE WWW.LOUBORTONE.COM
Compelling ContentMake your irresistible offer your freebie opt-in
Make it a no-brainer for them to sign up
It all starts with the opt-in!
Get them in your camp, then wow them

You never get a second chance to make a first impression...

Social Media Tips:1. Pick 3 - Spend 302. Use the 80/20 Rule3. Be “Social Smart”

Smart Social Media
Pick just 3 social networks - Spend no more than 30 minutes per day engaging, sharing, updating
Use the 80/20 content rule: 80% giving/sharing (about THEM) - 20% promoting (about YOU)
Automate what you can - don’t waste time - use smart tools (Buffer, Hootsuite, BuzzSpice)

Being Social Smart
Use photos and graphics
Visuals are more fun and sharable
Leverage and repurpose social content
Same content - different platforms
