It is what it is and this is it

When you're launching or promoting an offer, at some point, pretty early on, you need an email that simply states what the offer is, and why people would want it, Reader As I am on Day 2 of my Marketing On Purpose launch.... that point is now. And, in my humble opinion, the easiest way to do this is to lay it out Q&A style. So....allow me to introduce Marketing On Purpose. Qu: Hey Laura, what’s this Marketing On Purpose thing you keep banging on about? Answer: Thanks for asking completely imaginary potential client. Marketing On Purpose is my 12-week 1-1 mentoring package for people who don’t have a whole lot of time (or energy) to invest in their marketing, and want to feel more confident that what they’re doing is impactful for their business. Qu: If I joined, what would I get? Answer: There are five parts to Marketing On Purpose - you’re welcome to use each element as much or as little as you want. 1 - Weekly prompts to help you plan your marketing activities, and then a form to tell me about it (if you want to - for accountability and cheerleading). 2 - Weekly opportunity to Ask Me Anything - tell me about your tangled dilemma, or choice you need to take, or decision you need to make…. and we can go back and forth via text messages in the portal, all week, until you’ve got clarity and confidence. 3 - Weekly opportunity to request copywriting feedback - Use the portal to send me your marketing content, sales copy, emails, website page - whatever you want my eyes on - and I’ll get back to you with feedback and suggestions that make that piece of copy better AND helps you write better copy in the future. 4 - Weekly opportunity to record your Tiny Triumphs - so you can see, and tell me about, the progress you’re making - so important for establishing confidence and momentum in your marketing. 5 - 3 months access to all my copywriting resources and online marketing courses - to help you do whatever you’ve got planned over the next 12 weeks. Qu: How much is it? Answer: £595 (or you can split into 3 payments of £200). Qu: OK, I’m more than a little bit curious, but not ready to buy yet - what should I do? Answer: First, go check out all the details, and the behind-the-scenes video over on the Marketing On Purpose sales page. Then, if you’re still interested but you’ve got questions, or want some reassurance around whether this is right for you and your business right now, jump into my Voxer inbox (or reply to this email). Send me a text or voice message whenever is good for you, and I’ll get back to you the next time I’m working. There’s no pressure - that’s not how I sell - just friendly conversation. Qu: Can I borrow this email structure and use it the next time I'm promoting something? Answer: Absolutely! Info presented in this Q & A style is often much easier for a reader to process than a regular sales page, and is a smart way to introduce your subscribers to a new offer - go for it. |

Over the last 16 years (yes, really) working in online marketing, I’ve had hundreds of conversations with business owners trapped in a marketing thought loop. It sounds like…… “There’s this thing I want to try out / stop doing / achieve, but… What if I break everything else that’s working well What if I hate it What if I fail It’s not really how people are supposed to do this I should be working on this other thing instead…..” They can't see a way forward because each thought generates two...
Reader, do you tell yourself things like …. When I have more time, then I’ll be more consistent with my marketing. When things calm down a bit, then I’ll do that thing I really want to do. When I reach some imagined state of calm, then things will be easier. That’s When-Then-ing. But When-Then isn’t coming. I know this. A whole chapter of my book, The Comfy Business Playbook, is dedicated to making choices that are right for you and your business now, not holding out for a future reality that...
I tend to rush into the ‘doing’ part and skip essential prep, Reader My brain gets intensely annoyed by anything getting in the way of what I want to be doing right now. Like, when it’s a beautiful day and I’m in the mood for a bicycle ride, I just want to jump on and start pedalling. I am not inclined to pause to check and pump the tyres. It’s frustrating enough that I’ll have to get dressed, organise a drink, drag the bike out of the garage and lock up the house. That already feels like a...
