More Content Won’t Save a Bad Offer

One thing that comes up in my coaching calls a lot is that people want to just create more content.

The client wishes to work more on content.
Content creation definitely has a lot of value.

I also enjoy it—the work.
Yet creating more content only helps when we have a business in the booth.
More content is not going to fix your offer problem.

I have tried this many times—and it doesn’t work.

I have grown a YouTube channel to be monetized to get the clicks to my offer.
Because I was so focused on creating content, I didn’t notice I had the right audience and the real audience didn’t care or wasn’t interested in my products anymore.

I only saw success once I matched my content to my clients.
That’s when it changed.

For that, I really had to understand who my clients were and what offer would help them.
That’s all that matters.

So fix your offer to make better content to grow your business.

At this point, more content will result in more busyness.
That’s what it comes down to.

More content can make you run in the wrong direction at 100 miles per hour.

Don’t. Please don’t repeat my mistakes.
It was a hard lesson to learn.

I say: Focus on your offer.
Validate it with real people.

Then you’re going to be ready to take it online and grow it like magic.

The solution to all of it is to write clear. When people can understand you and have a feeling that you speak to them – it changes the game. You want…

  • Strive for Effectiveness, not Efficiency

    Hey Reader, One thing I’ve seen over the last few years in the productivity field is the hunt for efficiency. It is the idea that when you get things done faster—you will automatically get more done. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: The idea of efficiency stems from the industrial revolution. In factories, it mattered to get more done faster. Thus, the overall productivity rose. The machine could produce more products in less time. When I first got introduced to productivity, I fell in…
