I recently had the pleasure of hosting Carl on the Determined Mom Show, and we discussed major mistakes to avoid when networking to grow your business. Check out the episode titled "Major Mistakes to Avoid When Networking to Grow Your Business with Carl Lucchi" to get all the juicy details and insights!   3 Key Takeaways from Our Conversation: 1️⃣ Shift your mindset: Networking is not just about passing out business cards or giving an elevator pitch. It's about building relationships and creating a network of people you know, like, and trust. 2️⃣ Go beyond traditional networking methods: Don't limit yourself to only attending networking events. Utilize online platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook to connect with like-minded individuals and expand your network. 3️⃣ Focus on assisting, not selling: Instead of constantly trying to pitch your products or services, shift your focus to helping others. Be genuinely interested in their needs and find ways to assist them. By providing value, you will build trust and create opportunities for collaboration and referrals. I hope these insights help you avoid common networking mistakes and achieve greater success in growing your business.

By narrowing his focus to LinkedIn, he found better results in driving targeted buyers to his website. 2️⃣ Provide valuable email bribes: Offering relevant and valuable incentives tailored to your target audience's immediate needs is crucial.

On this episode of The Determined Mom Show, we dive into the world of AI and its role in marketing. We discuss five essential tips for effectively utilizing AI in your marketing efforts. First, we explore how AI can be a valuable tool for generating ideas and content. However, we stress the importance of not relying solely on AI and recognizing it as just a starting point. To ensure accuracy and alignment with your brand voice, it is crucial to edit the content generated by AI. We explore various ways in which AI can be used in marketing, including creating social media posts, blog posts, polls, and even drafting emails and website content. However, we emphasize the need to view AI as a tool to enhance marketing efforts, rather than a replacement for human creativity and intervention. We also discuss the drawbacks of piecing together a marketing plan solely based on online sources and the importance of using Google for service search over relying on social media.

 In this episode, I address some personal challenges but still dive into a crucial topic for all website owners and marketers – updating Google Analytics for better tracking. Here are three key takeaways for you from the Episode: Upgrade to Google Analytics: It's vital to update your Google Analytics to the latest version, as Universal Analytics has ceased tracking this year. Google Analytics tracks visitors across devices and networks and provides more accurate and comprehensive data. Preserve your existing data: Remember that your data from Universal Analytics does not automatically convert to Google Analytics. Make sure to save and back up your data for future access. I recommend utilizing the BigQuery backup option for data preservation and advise seeking professional assistance if needed. Marketing success and a cohesive plan:  Avoid relying on random sources online for your marketing plan. Instead, establish a cohesive marketing system with a proven strategy, consistent tracking, and targeted customer acquisition efforts. Would you like to hear more?

In this episode of The Determined Mom Show, my amazing guest, Mel Daniels, shares How to Create Powerful Content to Stand Out from the Crowd. Mel Daniels is a Content Strategist, Coach, and Speaker who loves to understand ‘why’. Even past her toddler years, she always asked why. She wanted to understand why things worked as they did, why people acted a certain way, and why she was the only one who loved peanut butter and sultana sandwiches. Her curiosity has led her on an interesting life journey from academic achiever to corporate leader, mum extraordinaire, and now business owner. Mel’s purpose is to teach and empower women who want more from their business, on how to use content in a genuine way. She gives them the confidence they need to become more visible, seen as the expert that they are, and inspired to take their business to the next level. When she’s not talking about content and client journeys, you will find Mel cheering on her clients from the sidelines. Her other favorite hangouts are the kitchen and gym. Luckily her love of dead-lifting counteracts the amount of baking she consumes. Here are a few key takeaways from the episode: Creating content from a human perspective leads to personal and business growth Knowing the demographics of ideal clients is not enough - connecting with them on a deeper level is necessary Content should be meaningful to both the creator and the ideal client, not just created for the sake of it Are you struggling to make your content stand out?
