The Episode: When to Use Paid Traffic, Organic Growth, or Neither

What's more important—paid traffic or organic leads? Spoiler alert, it's neither! Jonathan, Carolina, and Ren talk about finding leads as an online trainer, with valuable insights and advice for every level, from beginners to veterans. You'll also learn where to send your fan art of Carolina and her Stevia drops.

Key Points and Time Stamps

  • The Mexican rite of passage
  • How paid advertising works, and why it sometimes doesn't
  • How to get clients without advertising
  • Would you work with someone who automates conversations with you?
  • Why you need to speak to five people a day

 

“I believe very strongly that you should start with what you already have and take the easiest path that you have.”

– Jonathan Goodman

 

Start with what you already have

Take the easiest path—your family, friends, friends of your friends ... Somebody you’ve met face to face is almost always a better lead than people you connect with online.

Talk to people as a human being

Beware automated sales scripts! It's really hard to sell a personal service when you can't be bothered to have a real conversation with your prospects.

The simplest advertising you can do

It’s hard to believe how simple it is: Talk to five people a day, every day. For an independent online trainer, it may work so well you never need to buy an ad.
