Create Knowledge Based Products for Leads and Profits with Denise Wakeman

Denise WakemanThere are plenty of benefits to creating knowledge based products…you can use them to establish your credibility, generate leads, and create additional streams of revenue for your business.

In this episode of The Marketing Agents Podcast, I speak with online marketing expert Denise Wakeman about two of her specialties: creating a business blog that generates leads and how to turn everyday content into knowledge-based products that people will be willing to pay for.

Big Ideas:

  • Start with a blog. Too often businesses feel overwhelmed where to start with social media. Denise recommends a blog because it’s your home base, and unlike social media platforms, you own it.
  • Determine your topics first. Topics become categories and you should have five posts ready to go in each category before you start.
  • Use “social” to drive traffic and build your list. While you don’t own these channels, they are critical tools to drive traffic to your blog.
  • Create additional streams of income with knowledge-based products. Anything you’ve written or recorded can be turned into a product. Blog posts can be turned into a Kindle book. Interviews can become audio products. Transcripts of interviews can be turned into ebooks.

Derek Halpern on List Building and Online Marketing

Derek Halpern of Social TriggersHey, my Pretty Links is all funky! So here’s where you’ll find the Jon Wuebben interview until I get this fixed. 🙂

Growing your business online isn’t about knowing the latest Twitter tricks, SEO hacks, or secrets of Pinterest.

In this week’s episode of The Marketing Agents podcast, Derek Halpern shares with us some of the psychological and social triggers that we can use to reach a wider audience and build our business.

Big Ideas:

  • Differentiate yourself. Even in a crowded marketplace, you can stand out. There were thousands of marketing blogs when Derek started up Social Triggers, but he studied the competition and found an angle that none of them were covering.
  • Don’t rely on SEO. You can’t control Google or the Google algorithm. Use best practices, but focus on social triggers that get people to share your content with their network.
  • Email list building is critical. You can’t transfer Facebook friends to Twitter. You don’t own your followings on social networks. But you own your list. Put all your focus on building your email list.

Show Notes:
