Did you start your business to work all the time?
Answer DM’s all the time?
Post content and send emails all the time?
I didn’t. I started my business because I wanted FREEDOM. And having all my clients clog up my DM’s, not converting to clients and just being “followers” is not creating that.
So how do you start turning your followers into high-paying clients?
One of THE BEST ways to show your authority, deepen their knowledge and desire to work with you is to get them over to your website.
Why do you want to drive traffic to your website?
Why is your website such a great convert machine?
First of all, it’s always there. Social Media is amazing, but it is not yours. I know you know this and felt this after Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp died a few weeks ago.
Apart from them being hacked, you could get blocked or hacked and everything you have there can disappear.
Your website is yours. Your rules. Your content. Your brand, vibe, the entire experience can be tailored exactly for you!
What does that actually mean?
That means that when someone lands on your site you can greet them with your smiling face, people saying how amazing you are to work with, you can give them your lead magnet and get them in your funnel and you can sell just as much and as hard as you want.
Having people going to your website also opens up the amazing world of automation.
How do you drive traffic to your website?
Here are some ideas on how to send more traffic to your website from Instagram:
β’ Fill out the application β don’t clog the DM’s
Instead of telling people to apply to work with you by sending you a DM – ask them to fill out the application on your website. Another bonus of having them fill out the application form is that you can have that setup with a bunch of automations! How about having an option that straight away decides whether they are a good fit or not? If not, send an automated email telling them “sorry, I love you, but no”. And always send an email straight away thanking them for applying to work with you and what the next steps are.
