Master Your Marketing: The 5 Things You Must Do in 2024
This is going to be the year that your content actually brings in leads instead of crickets! If you’re sick of posting with no traction or you’re creating social media content and want to get to the next level to increase your revenue and visibility, Kim will give you her top 5 tips.
Here are some tips to market yourself effectively, whether you're a real estate agent eyeing multimillion-dollar deals or a consultant aiming for five-figure projects, the strategies you employ can make all the difference. In this blog post, seasoned TV news journalist, digital video coach and founder of Video Boot Camp, Kim Rittberg unveils the five essential elements you need to market yourself in 2024.
1. Confidence: The Game-Changer
Confidence is the cornerstone of successful self-marketing. You must exude confidence, even if it doesn't come naturally. The way you present yourself on video or podcasts directly impacts your audience's perception of your credibility. Learn to embrace the camera, smile, and own your space. "Get out of that supermodel mode of worrying how you think you look. Get into teacher mindset and focus on your message.”
2. Strategy: Your Roadmap to Success
A well-defined strategy is your compass in the vast landscape of self-marketing. Don't get lost researching equipment, get a clear and specific strategy that resonates with your audience. Your website and social media pages should unmistakably communicate who you are and how you can help your clients.
3. Basic Tech: Keep It Simple
Contrary to popular belief, you don't need a Hollywood-style production setup to make an impact. Aim for simplicity, utilize basic tech – often just an iPhone and a ring light can suffice. The key is to leverage what you have, ensuring your budget, time, and resources align with your content goals.
4. Engagement: Building Real Connections
Engagement is not just about numbers; it's about connecting with real people. Treat engagement as if you're networking at a conference. Respond to comments, connect with potential clients, and don't underestimate the power of genuine interaction. Real connections can lead to unexpected opportunities - many of my clients are getting leads and closing deals directly through social media messaging: a health care consultant locked in a. meeting with a decision-maker at a major healthcare company while a real estate agent landed a listing directly from social media messaging.
5. A Video Coach: Your Secret Weapon
Even the most successful individuals seek guidance. Tap into the expertise of a coach to level up your marketing game. Whether it's boosting confidence, refining your strategy, or enhancing your video quality, an external perspective is a must, it is a “game-changer” (as my past student says!). Investing in a coach is an investment in your success.
As you gear up for the marketing challenges of 2024, remember these five pillars: confidence, strategy, basic tech, engagement, and a coach. Embrace the digital era with authenticity and purpose, and watch as your business grows exponentially. Exit the grind and enter success on your own terms – 2024 is poised to be your best year yet.
