When I started my business 11 years ago I thought it would be a straight path. 🛣️
I’d found the thing I loved and everything would be plain sailing, right? ⛵
It’s not always that easy. In fact, sometimes you have to fall to get to success. 🌊
Early on, I had a lot of different strategies that worked, but I’m not going to lie, some failed. With that said, I have learned a lot since my business first started. 📗
I shared something on a Podcast earlier today and I thought I would share it with you too. 🎙️
We were talking about the early days of business and the host asked me what one marketing or branding thing I did early on that helped me get business. 🤔
Since I have been in business for so many years now, I forgot that I used a strategy back then called the drafting technique. ☝️
Basically, you make a list of your competitors and you just follow them online so that you see what they’re doing. 🔍
Back then, it seemed like all of my competitors were getting these guest writing spots on really large blogs. I’d reach out to that blog, tell them it was a great article and ask them if I could submit one too.
One of the 1st times I did this I generated 2,000 new clients. 🤯
