Today, I want to talk about something simple yet incredibly powerful: perspective and mindset. It all started with a conversation I had at the gym recently. A fellow gym-goer pointed out how we all seem to have our favorite spots for laying down our mats. It got me thinking. You see, I have this habit of intentionally changing where I place my mat or where I sit in a meeting room. And when I explained this to the lady at the gym, she seemed puzzled. But here’s the thing: changing your physical location can actually change your perspective. Think about it this way: imagine your family’s dining table. Everyone has their designated seats, right? The kids sit where they always do, mom and dad have their spots. But if you always sit in the same place, you’re always seeing things from the same angle. It’s like having tunnel vision. However, if you switch it up, something interesting happens. The dynamics between family members can shift. You start to see things differently, quite l...

Have you ever found yourself bombarded with motivational videos or articles about setting goals, only to feel more confused than inspired? I hear you. Let’s break it down to basics. Setting goals is the easy part, right? You decide you want to achieve something, like getting healthier. But then what? That’s where the real work begins. Take my journey to get healthier, for example. I didn’t just say, “I want to be healthier,” and magically become so. First, I had to figure out what steps would actually lead me there. Eating better was one step, sure, but I knew I needed to exercise more too. So, I took action. I signed up for a health spa. But signing up was just the start. The next step? Actually showing up and doing the work. It wasn’t enough to enjoy the spa amenities—I needed to exercise. But here’s the thing: I’m not a fan of gyms. They’re intimidating! So, I faced my fear and hired a personal trainer to guide me through it. That’s where the real progress happened—whe...

Hey there, fellow business owners! Today, I want to talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while now – the absence of women in the world of Google Ads and YouTube marketing. Seriously, ladies, where are you? Let’s break it down. In my business,  SF Digital , I’ve noticed a striking gender gap. About 95% of our clients seeking  Google Ads  and  YouTube marketing services  are male. Now, don’t get me wrong, I know there are tons of amazing female-owned businesses out there. I see them in my social circles, and in my community, but why aren’t more of them stepping up for digital marketing? Here’s the thing:  I believe there’s a myth that needs busting – the myth that Google Ads is some kind of mystical, complex system reserved only for tech-savvy individuals. Spoiler alert: it’s not! It’s just a system, a tool, and once you understand how it works, you can transform your business and reach your audience like never before. As women, we exce...

In the realm of online advertising, one of the perennial goals for marketers is to secure cheaper clicks. After all, who wouldn’t want to save a few bucks while driving traffic to their website or landing page? However, the pursuit of lower costs per click (CPC) in Google Ads requires a nuanced understanding of the dynamics at play. Let’s break it down. Cheap clicks, while appealing on the surface, often come with a catch—they may not convert. In other words, the keywords or search terms associated with these inexpensive clicks might not reflect high user intent. Conversely, expensive clicks typically indicate stronger intent and are more likely to result in conversions. So, the fundamental question arises: Would you prefer a flood of cheap clicks that lead to minimal conversions or fewer, albeit pricier, clicks that have a higher likelihood of converting? The latter scenario often translates to a lower cost per acquisition (CPA) due to the higher conversion rate. Now, if you...

Affiliate marketing might sound like a complex term, but at its core, it’s pretty straightforward. Imagine you’re recommending a product or service to someone, and when they make a purchase based on your recommendation, you earn a commission. That’s  affiliate marketing  in a nutshell. So, how does it work? Let’s break it down. Firstly, you, as the affiliate marketer, promote products or services on behalf of someone else. You don’t own these products, and you don’t deal with stocking or shipping them. Your job is simply to spread the word and convince others to buy. Now, getting started might seem daunting, but it’s easier than you think. The key is to choose something you’re familiar with or passionate about. Whether it’s a hobby, a health product, or a beauty item, pick something that resonates with you. This way, you’ll find it easier to connect with your audience and explain why they should consider buying. Once you’ve selected your product, it’s time to identify...

It’s about showing up as you...

Are you struggling to turn your website visitors into leads or customers? You’re not alone. Many businesses blame their lack of conversions on ad networks like Google and Facebook, but often, the problem lies with their landing pages. Fear not! I’ve got some top tips to help you optimize your landing pages for maximum conversions. 1. Choose The Right Destination When running ads, consider where you’re sending your traffic.

One of the most effective strategies gaining momentum is  video marketing . But why should you invest your time and effort into creating videos? Let’s break it down.

Have you ever wondered how those ads seem to follow you around the internet? You visit a website once, and suddenly, its ads are popping up everywhere you go online. Well, that’s no coincidence – it’s called remarketing, and it’s a powerful tool in the world of online advertising. So, what exactly is remarketing, and should you be using it for your business? Let’s break it down. Remarketing, in simple terms, is a strategy that allows advertisers to target people who have previously visited their website but didn’t take the desired action, like making a purchase or filling out a form. It’s like giving your potential customers a friendly nudge to come back and complete what they started. Now, should you use it? Absolutely! Well, if you’re allowed to, that is. Some industries, like the medical field, have restrictions on remarketing. But for most businesses, it’s a game-changer. Here’s why: Targeted Audience:  Remarketing lets you focus your advertising efforts on p...
