Free Teleclass: Yes, You Can Create Powerful Sales Pages With Ease, Authenticity, and Heart

Does the thought of creating sales pages make you shudder?

So much so that you don’t even create a sales page? You just put some information about your product or service up on your website and hope people are compelled to buy it? (This works fine for catalogs where you are buying "stuff," but it doesn’t work well at all for transformational products and services.)

Maybe you dread the process of creating a sales page and feel confused about what to put on your page – wondering all along if you are either "selling your soul" in your marketing or "not embracing selling enough." And you worry you won’t be successful in selling your products or enrolling in your programs. What a catch-22! D- if you do or D-if you don’t!

Or perhaps you’ve made peace with creating sales pages, but you feel exhausted just thinking about all the components and wish you just had a system and a checklist to make it easier and faster!

What is a conscious, spiritual entrepreneur who wants to change the world to do?

The problem is that most heart-centered entrepreneurs feel that sales pages are, well, too sales-y. Too masculine. Too in-your-face. Not in alignment with the passionate, purposeful business owner you are.

It doesn't have to be that way. In fact, I am committed to a way that combines being conscious with being practical. Join me for my newest, FREE teleclass:

Yes, You Can Create Powerful Sales Pages

 In this teleclass you'll learn:

  • What is possible for you when you embrace creating heart-based sales pages for the sake of helping your potential clients - sales pages that work are no less spiritual than slapping up your information and playing small. In fact, I'd say that playing small and NOT learning how to create sales pages with integrity is not coming from your divine power.
  • 5 traps that heart-centered entrepreneurs fall into which stop you from even creating a sales page or creating ones that are boring, lifeless, and small and that don't attract clients or make you money.
  • How your Feminine Qualities can actually help you create a "kick-skirt" sales page - it's not all about the traditional masculine in your face and aggressive sales tactics.
  • My biggest secret for jump-starting your sales page creation process to put YOU on a successful path
  • 3 Things You Can Do Right Now To Get Better Response from Your Sales Pages - all with integrity and heart!
  • A new product I've created about Creating Sales Pages that …. and this is true… my clients begged me to create! (Literally, over and over they said, "Laura, please create a checklist for a sales page…please tell me how to do this!") You'll want to hear about this as I'm offering a special launch pricing and bonus classes! Imagine the sales page process being easy and even fun!

P.S. You won't find this type of "spiritual meets practical" marketing information anywhere. Which means you can sell your programs and products and bring your message to the world in a bigger way. And isn't that why you're a heart-centered entrepreneur in the first place?

Just Let Go

If you are like me, as a woman entrepreneur I know there are times in your business or in your life when you get yourself in a bunch, you start going in circles, chasing your tail, second guessing, doubting…. It still happens to me but with practice it doesn’t happen as much anymore.  I can get myself out of the “tailspin” quicker and usually with more grace. 

Letting-go-of-butterflies There are times where people have told me over the years. “Laura, just let go.”  Let go.  Let go and what?  Note:  If someone is telling you to let go – that means you are holding on tight.  It can be hard to just let go.  There needs to be a second part to “let go and ….”.   And then what do I do? (I know, you enlightened souls will say…let go and just be….but sometimes when you’re “in it” you need a more specific redirect). 

So here’s mine…( I share it so that it might help you..should you ever find yourself in the need)

Let Go AND…

*Stop Doing what you are doing

*Do Something Different

*Breathe – In and Out

*Do the Opposite of what you think you’re *supposed* to do

*Do Something Crazy, Fun, or Creative

*Go for a walk, take a nap or a shower (my 3 favs – insert yours)

*Ask your Higher Self:  “What would ______ Do” (I’ll ask Jezzie - she’s my Spirit Doll)

*Do what you think you can’t possibly do

*Take a Step and Lead

*Love Yourself

I hope this list will help you …in those moments when you need to let go and….

En-JOY!

Spirituality Marketing - Second Chance to Grab your Free Spot!

Great news! If you didn't make Suzanne Falter-Barns' freebie call on why spiritually oriented businesses don’t make more money you have a second chance!

A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT OF FOLKS were there, (more than 2500 signed up!) hanging with Suzanne and her panel of experts, exploring how to create more $$ in anyone’s spiritual businesses.

It was a sizzling call, but no worries if you couldn’t make it.

Suzanne’s going to present the VERY SAME CALL all over again! You can listen this Saturday, April 24 at 1:00PM ET/10AM PT.

http://ow.ly/1zJVf

If you didn’t get on the first time, you’ll get all the same juicy content as before. And this time with the leisure of a Saturday to relax and enjoy the call.

Here’s the scoop:

If you’re NOT making all the money you could make from your spiritually guided business …

If you KNOW something is wrong in your psyche, your spirit, your energy … SOMEWHERE … that really impacts your business

If you KNOW you’re meant to step up to a higher calling and lead from the heart, and you know you need guidance to make more money doing this …

… then we’re here to help. Because not enough spiritually-minded entrepreneurs make the money they want.

So what’s up with that?

Suzanne asked in a team of her favorite spiritual marketing experts in for a powerful panel discussion. That would be Mark Silver of Heart of Business, and abundance psychic Andrea Hess of Empowered Soul. Plus my partner, Jeffrey Van Dyk, and Amethyst Wyldfyre – my favorite shamaness who knows how to move your energy around your business.

Here’s some of what they covered:

  • Energetic blocks YOU may have that keep you stuck financially
  • How to make offers that come from the heart … not just your concern for your bottom line
  • Why so many spiritual marketers just aren’t making the money they want (Hint: It’s not the economy!)
  • Some vibrational ‘secrets’ to manifesting … and why it works better for some of us than others
  • A great process for connecting directly to your own spiritual guidance

    … and much, much more

In this special 90-minute free call, Suzanne and her buddies get to the bottom of the mystery! So don’t miss it, OK? And yep, you’ll get the recording link as soon as the call ends.

Join this special encore presentation of this call on Saturday, April 24 at 1:00PM ET/10AM PT

Are You in One of These Marketing Resistance Categories?

In my work with thousands of heart-centered small business owners (mainly coaches, consultants, speakers and authors), I find many of them resist the idea of marketing. It’s a love/hate relationship. You know you should market yourself, but you hate the idea of promoting yourself. You have a belief that somehow you’re “selling out” or compromising your integrity if you promote yourself boldly. 


It doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, something definitely needs to shift if this is how you feel. If you don’t shift, it will keep your business small, and it will keep you from getting the recognition you deserve and the financial success to keep your business growing. Most of all, your work won’t reach as many people and transform as many lives. This is all too common of a sad business story with brilliant heart-centered entrepreneurs.

Are you in marketing resistance? Which one describes you, or are there several?

1.    The M-word – You so dislike the idea of marketing that you can’t even say the word. I had a client who initially called it the “m-word.” (Good news – within a couple of months she sent me her vision board with a big message in the middle “I LOVE MARKETING”!) If this is you, then you might think that in marketing, you are “doing” something “to” people – that you are trying to sell them something against their will. Ick!

SOLUTION: To get over this hurdle, it's time to shift your mindset about marketing. Marketing is really about building relationships, not doing something sneaky or underhanded. If you are marketing with authenticity, integrity and from a place of being of service, then you are bettering people’s lives. You are giving them a gift when you let them know about your services and programs. Think about how much better their lives will be with the product/service you have to offer. Who are you to NOT offer your services? Why would you want to keep your services a secret?

2.    Don’t Know – If you are in this category, you may not know what to do when it comes to marketing. You might do a little marketing here and a little there, but overall you really aren’t sure what to do or where to start.

SOLUTION: It’s time for you to dive deep into some Inner Research first. Really get to know your strengths and passions so you know which marketing strategies are right for you. You also want to be clear about your business vision. You don’t need (or even want) to use every marketing strategy. Start with the ones that align with your strengths and will get you to your vision using the easiest and more authentic route. Then commit to learning about and implementing those marketing strategies.

3.    Overwhelmed with Ideas – This is you if you have lots of ideas and you are trying to implement several marketing ideas at one time. I see this often with creative entrepreneurs. Maybe you are blogging a little here… you have a website up…. you’ve got a little social networking going…. a little speaking-- but nothing is really working strongly for you. The problem here is that “scattered energy gets scattered results.” You may also be guilty of “free teleclass-itis” – you sign up for lots of free teleclasses on various marketing strategies but never go deep enough into one strategy to implement and master.

SOLUTION: You need to align with your Authentic Marketing Style and market using your strengths, gifts, passions and unique style. And then FOCUS on one marketing strategy. Make it big. Set up systems for it to be consistent and easy. This is what gets the results you want!

4.    Half Committed – If you are in this group, then you are still thinking of yourself as a coach or consultant and not as a business owner. What’s the difference? You do a little marketing, and then you focus on your clients and drop the marketing ball. Once there’s a lull in your clients, you pick back up on your marketing strategies. The roller coaster in time, energy and income here is painful!

SOLUTION: It’s time to shift your thinking to come from the place of being a business owner (or what I like to call Business Goddess). A business owner sets up systems and team in place so that her business is always marketing even when she’s off with clients or on vacation! This takes your business from a small place to a visible, credible, and successful business.

It’s time to drop the old stories and beliefs about marketing. They aren’t serving you, your business, or your potential clients. Dare to line up your marketing efforts with your authentic marketing style of your joy, passions and strength. Watch your business soar!

En-joy!

Laura
