In today’s episode I share how I tried out a “pay what you want” option on an offer, here’s how it went: Earlier this year I wanted to experiment with something new in my launch strategy for a brand new offer. Kajabi has a new “pay what you want” feature that allows your customer to enter what they want to pay at checkout. There’s no set price (you can set a minimum) and it’s up to the customer to choose what the value is.In this episode, I share what I learned from this experiment:Using this feature can be a good way to do a/b testingIt can be a way to collect data from your customers to help set an official price pointWhen I let my target group in this experiment pay what they wanted, they chose to pay an average of $15 for the offerI ignored the average people chose to pay because I saw the actual value and I increased and set the price two different times with great resultsNew customers might not see the value in a paid offer like your current customers doPeople see the value that you assign to the offerIt’s through your marketing that you’re attaching value to the amount you’re charging for the offerPick a price you can stand behind and work on your marketing messaging to show the worthResources & Links:The Online BlueprintStories that SellIG UniversityKajabi 30 day free trial + 20 free story templatesConnect with Mya:Follow on Instagram @myanicholJoin my email listCheck out my websiteNow on YouTubeMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the full show notes here: https://myanichol.com/2024/08/20/i-tried-out-a-pay-what-you-want-option-on-an-offer-heres-how-it-went-episode-81/ Mentioned in this episode:Join IG University!IGU

Is your offer launch not going as planned? In today’s episode I am talking all about tangible options you can do to turn it around. I’ll share my real world struggle I’m currently facing myself with my own offer and how I’m navigating that. Failed launches are inevitable and they happen to every business offer; but giving up is not an option! There’s always more things we can try. In this episode, I cover two different scenarios and options for each to spark ideas for you to try such as: Post reel or content that relates to the offer that you can use a CTA withTarget a specific group or segment from your email list to send content tolShare a different perspective on the offer that you haven’t shared beforeAsk people what’s holding them back from purchasing and listen to their feedbackMake small tweaks to marketing messaging to see what gets better tractionExtend deadline of launchAdd a bonus for the next X amount of people who join the offerRelaunch your offerRefine your offerFor additional guidance, check out The Launch Bundle. Resources & Links:The Launch BundleProfit Mavens SummitStories that SellIG UniversityKajabi 30 day free trial + 20 free story templatesConnect with Mya:Follow on Instagram @myanicholJoin my email listCheck out my websiteNow on YouTubeMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://myanichol.com/2024/08/13/is-your-offer-launch-not-going-as-planned-episode-80/ Mentioned in this episode:Join IG University!IGU

Creating a name for your business (or your products or services) takes work. Today's guest, naming strategist Katie Pannell, has built her business on this very niche topic. In this episode, Katie and I discuss the psychology of naming methods to come up with your own effective and innovative names, whether or not clear or clever offer names are better, and some of the strategies she uses with her own naming clients.  I actually hired Katie a few months ago to help me name a new business I'm starting, and she was absolutely fantabulous!

There’s been a common theme in my DMs recently with a lot of questions along the same line of “how do you make your messaging so magnetic”. Magnetic messaging means that people are drawn in and sold before you actually have the chance to sell to them. Are you feeling stuck to attract your ideal clients? I’ll share my movement piece, and how it embodies the values and the vision behind what I teach. In today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through simple tips to create copy that goes from boring and predictable to exciting and relevant, ultimately creating magnetic messaging that sells. These tips are: Create a movement piece that embodies the overarching idea of what it is that you teach. This needs to resonate deeply with your audience and the outcome they’re searching for. Infuse your copy with effective language that speaks directly to your ideal follower or ideal client’s aspirations or challenges to drive conversion Leverage Chat GPT to help you understand your ideal client’s thoughts (I share a prompt below to use).  Use the exact language your ideal client is using   Find the prompt you can use in Chat GPT here: https://myanichol.com/2024/07/23/creating-magnetic-messaging-that-sells-episode-77/    Resources & Links: Profit Mavens Summit 150 Free Hooks List Building 101 Manychat Stories that Sell IG University Kajabi 30 day free trial + 20 free story templates Around the Clock Masterclass   Connect with Mya: Follow on Instagram @myanichol Join my email list Check out my website Now on YouTube   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

I was recently listening to a training and the coach said “your greatest perceived weakness is what you need to lean into, it is actually your greatest strength.” That concept has stuck with me for weeks. In today’s episode, I will share when it finally clicked for me that your weakness is your greatest superpower. We don’t want to deny or suppress our weaknesses; we should be reframing our mindset and embracing the unique qualities that make us who we are. I encourage you to identify those areas that you think are your weaknesses and lean into them as they could be a catalyst for your transformation!  In this episode, we cover:  How this principle applies to you and your business Aspects of ourselves that we might consider our weaknesses and how they can be flipped into something useful in your business How we can see our “weaknesses” as opportunities for growth and transformation instead of barriers Resources & Links: Profit Mavens Summit 150 Free Hooks List Building 101 Manychat Stories that Sell IG University Kajabi 30 day free trial + 20 free story templates Connect with Mya: Follow on Instagram @myanichol Join my email list Check out my website Now on YouTube Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

What do you actually do when the going gets tough? In today’s episode we’re getting really vulnerable. I’m going to walk you through some difficult things I’ve been going through recently and how I’m navigating each of them.

Listen along as I share some of the tough things I’ve been dealing with: I had my lowest income month I’ve ever had in the last 2.5 years A student in one of my offers told me I’m not embodying what I teach A student was plagiarizing one of my offers I had a tragedy in my personal life recently I lost a very large investment in another business I goofed up with something I taught in one of my offers While it’s been a really tough month, I’ve tried to remember that disruption proceeds your biggest breakthroughs. How many of us throw in the towel right before our breakthrough?
