EP 298 // You Need More Content Touchpoints Than EVER to Make a Sale! 5 No Fail Tips

Research says it can take anywhere from 7 to 47 interactions before somebody says yes to what you're selling, depending on what you're selling. Good news: that does NOT mean 47 new pieces of content. If you've ever felt like you need to be everywhere, all the time, on every platform, just to make it in this business, then this episode is here to tell you that's not actually the answer. The real breakdown of how many touch points a sale needs, by price point and by marketing channel Why no single channel — not even a great blog post — closes a big decision alone 5 concrete ways to hit more touch points with the SAME people, without 7xing your workload This is not a "repurpose everything, chop it up, copy and paste" episode. It's 5 genuinely strategic moves, and by the end of it, you'll think about your content calendar completely differently. Ready to build the actual system instead of guessing your way through it? Simple SEO Framework and Group Coaching walks you through it step by step faithhanan.com/framework .

EP 297 // How to Hire Out Your Content Marketing Without It Sounding Like a Robot

I was SOOOO spoiled. My first hire ever was my best friend of 20 years. Zero training needed, zero worries, she just KNEW my voice, and I trusted (still trust) her compltely. Then I hired my first intern, and I remember sitting there thinking, "She doesn't know my voice, she doesn't know my sense of humor" on repeat, before it finally hit me: "Well, duh, Faith. Of course she doesn't know you as well as your BFF of 20 years." In this episode, I'm breaking down what I learned from that gap so you don't have to learn it the hard way. You'll walk away knowing: The ONE question to ask before you hand off a single piece of content (skip it and you'll get generic, robotic-sounding content every time) Why hiring one person to handle your YouTube, podcast, AND blog content might be quietly working against you The real reason "back and forth" with your writer is a GOOD sign, not a red flag Ready to outsource your content marketing without losing what makes it sound like you?

EP 296 // 4 Sneaky Signs You've Outgrown DIY Marketing and What to Do Next

Listen, I am a BIG fan of being scrappy. Bailin twine and duct tape were STAPLE tools growing up. And TRULY, sometimes we DO need to be scrappy in business. But there is ALSO a season in business where doing it all yourself stops being scrappy and smart, and quietly starts being the ceiling on your growth. Most business owners do not realize they have hit that ceiling until months, sometimes years, after the fact. SO buckle up and get ready to learn: A simple way to actually calculate what your DIY marketing is costing you in real dollars, not just hours The referral trap that convinces business owners they do not need SEO or content marketing, when the opposite is true What it looks like to hand off your marketing, whether that is a little at a time or all at once If you have had that nagging feeling that something needs to change, this episode might be the confirmation you needed.

EP 294 // Sold Out in Under 3 Hours!!! 7 Powerful Tips for More Sales

So I did something a little unhinged for a woman who talks SEO for a living... I baked a bajillion loaves of sourdough and set up shop at my local farmer's market (ya know, just for funsies). And all 37 loaves were gone before the market even closed. I'm telling you exactly What I knew about my market, my competition, and my own pricing before I ever set that table up (there was a notebook, calculator, and pricing down to the penny involved, and it was midnight) The sweet little lady who almost put her loaf back down, and the one thing I said before she changed her mind The lesson about competition that has nothing to do with what you'd think Wondering if your words are what's holding you back from selling out?

Ep 292 // 4 Things to Look For in a Copywriter (So You Don't Waste Thousands)

Over the years, I've watched savvy, successful business owners hand over serious money to copywriters who could craft beautiful sentences, but sadly, still couldn't close a sale worth a darn. So if you're thinking about hiring a copywriter this fall, I want you to listen to this episode first. Today I'm handing you the exact filter I wish every business owner would run their next copywriter through, whether you ever work with me or not. Here's a taste of what's inside: The quiet red flag that shows up before a copywriter ever writes a single word for you Why SEO and copy can never really be treated as separate hires, and what goes wrong when they are The voice piece most business owners never think to ask about, and why it's the difference between copy that sounds like you and copy that sounds like everyone else Press play and take notes before you sign your next contract.

Ep 291 // Should You Show Your Prices on Your Website? The Honest Answer

I have been asked this question more times than I can count, on discovery calls, in the SSF group coaching room, in emails from listeners, and somehow in 290 episodes I have never once sat down and covered it on the podcast. So today, we're fixing that, Jack! So today I’m covering 4 checkpoints to help you decide whether to show your prices on your website! The first question I ask myself & students to help them make this decision (it’s not what you think). The "full send" test that tells you if your copy can carry the weight of your price tag on its own What needs fixing if your prices scare off customers There is no universal right answer here. But by the end of this episode, you will have the framework to make a SMART decision for your time AND your bottom line. Ready to have your website copy bringing in sales while you sleep?

Ep 290 // The 3 Unexpected Things I Fix Before I Ever Touch Website Copy

Would you believe me if I told you that COPY is not always the first thing I fix on a client’s website (or potential client)? It’s true! Before I ever write a single word of copy for a client, I do a walkthrough of their website first, and there are exactly three things I'm hunting for every single time. Not the big obvious stuff either. The stuff that's quietly costing them leads while they blame their copy for not converting. The one page element almost nobody thinks to check, and it has nothing to do with how the words sound A biopsychology principle that determines whether your buttons are actually working for you or against you The line between too cluttered and too bare at the very top of your site, and how to know which side you're on Go pull up your own homepage while you listen. I promise you'll be tempted to pause and fix something halfway through. Ready to have your website copy bringing in sales while you sleep? Book a free call here! Questions?
