Comment below if you needed to hear this…I wrote Comment below if you needed to hear this…I wrote this a year ago today and it's still 💯 true... Running your own business is hard work. There’s a lot to think about at the best of times let alone in this absolute 💩 show of a year that has been the past 18 months. But here’s the thing: all is not lost. Postponed, radically different from what we expected, yes. But the world is not ending. As entrepreneurs we have had to learn to adjust time and time again and this time we will again. There are still plenty of opportunities available to work on your business. I was made redundant from a job I adored 11 years ago and I thought all was lost then. The bottom fell out of my world. It wasn’t and it didn’t. It was the start of something magical that was a transformation of my entire life and is now all you see today. I am here to help. My free training next week will help.

Ew. Gross. Often what we think about when we think Ew. Gross. Often what we think about when we think about selling, right? This week I’ve been thinking a lot about selling - probably because I'm opening the doors to Blogging for Gold very soon! “Sales” really is treated like a dirty word by so many people I speak to and the idea of selling makes us feel gross and icky. Now, I get it, no one likes being sold to when they’re not at all interested in the product or service, but here’s the thing - you aren’t actually trying to sell to those people. We’re selling to those who are interested in or even need what we make, sell or create, so we do have to put ourselves out there to be found and show up for those people. So how can we share our products and services, ensure that we’re not irritating people who don’t want to hear from us, and sell to our dream clients? Well, in today’s episode of The High Vis podcast, I want to share with you some of the key learnings I’ve found to be useful no matter what you sell or offer to get the sales you want and deserve without feeling gross. You can listen to the episode at the link in my bio or wherever you listen to podcasts 🎧 I truly believe entrepreneurs are the ultimate optimists. We want to create a better happier life for ourselves, our loved ones, we want to live a life that suits us, but we need the skills to get the sales to sustain and build that life. So, if you’re a female-led business eager for more booking, and more sales but frankly, you’re overwhelmed with where to start, why not come and join my week-long free challenge, Show Up & Get Booked. We start Monday 27th September and I would LOVE to see you there. https://maddyshine.co.uk/challenge/ (link also in my bio - you know it!) If you found today’s episode useful, 👇 do let me know in the comments 👇 or why not share this episode with your biz bestie. Enjoy!
Like and save this to remind yourself! I was going Like and save this to remind yourself! I was going through my screenshots recently (anyone else have oodles of them on their phone? Just me?) and came across this one taken from an Inc. Magazine article about Snapchat from 5 years ago, back when they were first really big. I thought it was apt to share because tomorrow I've got a podcast episode coming out all about selling, specifically how to sell without feeling gross. I don't have haters (who make themselves known to me anyway lol) but whether they exist or not, I can't shut myself off from putting myself out there, and I wholeheartedly support you not to as well. So many times people tell me they feel stuck. Stuck with repeating themselves and the same info about their products + services or stuck with not wanting to show up too much for fear of putting people off. Either way, there's a solution. In fact, there are many solutions to try and in the podcast I'll share tomorrow (subscribers get an early preview!) I go through a few of the ways that have helped me along with scooping up those who still get stuck.

Swipe to read the answer for this one, like + save Swipe to read the answer for this one, like + save it to remind yourself too! What is page one of Google & why is it important to be there? OK so, Google is a massive library of content with millions 😵 of websites... When we search for something on Google, we will be shown what Google thinks matches what we want as closely as possible 👯‍♀️ Google will show us thousands of websites, but we only really look at the first 7 results or so....👩‍💻 This is known as page 1️⃣ of Google. (You'll see numbers at the bottom of the screen to show more pages) The websites you see will completely depend on how much work those websites have put into showing Google what they do and what they sell 🧐 So you need to be putting this work in if want your business to be on page one of Google... So you don't just need to appear if you Google your business name but your actual products and services too for e.g. Bath wedding photography New home hampers hair and makeup in Truro brand photography Sussex The good news is there are lots of page ones of Google because people search for things in different ways! One of my clients just told me she's on page one of Google for 31 different keyword searches and so she's getting lots more clicks + sales! Where do you start with this? Come and join me as I show the steps on how to do this in my free week long training The Show Up & Get Booked challenge - just 30 minutes a day for 7 days starting Monday 27th September.

Save this to read next time you're putting off blo Save this to read next time you're putting off blogging. Businesses that blog get 55% more website visitors than businesses that don't according to @hubspot and yet I still hear so many people complaining that they don't get enough people coming to their website. Here's the harsh truth - no one cares that we have a business BUT they DO care about what we sell, make, create, do, offer. But we have to attract people's attention first. And where do people look up something they want to buy? When you have a question, where do you head? When you're looking for a specific service or product, where do you head? 93% of internet users say Google. So where does your business need to be visible? Google, baby! So where do you start? Come and find out in my free Show up & Get Booked week long challenge starting Monday 27th September 9.30am. I'll be going live each day sharing tips that you can action right away and see your visibility grow in 7 days!
