Key Lessons Learned from Stephen Woessner:

Money Draining Mistakes/Money Making Solutions

1- There is incredible value in statistics and metrics. No matter the size or sophistication of your business, knowing exactly how it works or doesn’t work, and how people interact with it will save your time money and energy from being misspent.
2- Using the XYZ method (What you do, who you do it for, and the end result) you will have more of the right people stay, while simultaneously weeding out the people that aren’t right for your business.
3- Approximately 50-60% of the traffic we bring to our website will leave after only viewing it. Having a website design that is attractive, yet free from clutter, and has no more than 3 calls to action, you can reduce the bounce rate.
5- When sending out emails, etc, direct them at your customer, not customers. If you understand your customer and what they’re looking for you, have a much better chance of connecting and building a relationship with them.
6- When creating an online experience for your customers, don’t make the mistake of pushing forward too quickly. Establish a relationship with them by giving them your best stuff for free. They will fall in love with you and your business and be back for more.
7- Don’t try to sound bigger than you are. Just be you. Genuine and authentic. If your business is right for the customer’s they will appreciate your business for what it is.
8- Don’t make it hard for people to give you their money. Simplify man! Confused customers leads to a poor experience with your business.
4- Reverse engineer your posts. Start with SEO in mind before writing that next post and use it to drive your writing.
If there is less than a million competing pages for a keyword in Google, you know it is used everyday yet isn’t overcrowded with competition.
You can use things like Google analytics to collect data streams.

Final Tips

Understanding your business and knowing your customers are both equally important and invaluable. Use any tools at your disposal to learn more about both.
People are already attached to their money. Getting them to want to part with it is only half the battle. Make it easy for them to give it to you when they do.
Begin with the end in mind. By knowing where you’re going it’s easier to take clear steps to get there.
