Marketing Your Business - Marketing Strategies for Business Owners

Stu McLaren

Marketing Your Business is a podcast dedicated to all things marketing. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the marketing tactics and strategies that lead to a loyal following, growing sales, and a business that gives you more freedom in your everyday life.

Each episode is packed with takeaways to help you get what you have in front of a lot more people. It's about leveraging your marketing to build a business that's high in profit, low in stress, and one that gives you the ability to have the greatest impact on the world.

Join leading online marketing strategist and entrepreneur Stu McLaren as he shares what's working for selling products online with product launches, online communities, email marketing, social media marketing, content marketing, and more. This is about the marketing that leads to more sales, more profits, and a high-growth business.

But this show isn't just about making money. It's about using the power of marketing to give you more freedom. The freedom to work with who you want, where you want, while having time to travel and do the things that matter. It's about reducing the "go-go-go" stress and redesigning your business so you can be more present in the lives of those who matter most to you.

About Stu McLaren:

For years, Stu has helped experts transform their knowledge and influence into recurring revenue by launching, growing, and scaling 7 and 8-figure membership sites. In 2008, he co-founded the world's most popular membership platform for WordPress (WishList Member). He then went on to partner with New York Times best-selling author Michael Hyatt, helping his company go from a high 6-figure business (with lots of stress) to a high 7-figure business (with low-stress). Michael's profitability soared, his email list grew from 70,000 to over 500,000 and he gained back over 100 days with his family by not having to travel.

Today, he's the Co-Founder of Membership.io, helping creators and entrepreneurs build thriving membership businesses. He's also the author of Predictable Profits, which shows business owners how to create recurring revenue so they can stop chasing new customers and start building real stability.

If you've got an established business and you're looking for ideas on how to get your products and services in front of more people OR you're thinking about starting a business and want to see the behind-the-scenes of another entrepreneur doing it in real time, Marketing Your Business is tailor-made for you.

    102: No Wonder They Aren't Growing

    I just watched a video that was teaching the entrepreneurial market about growing membership sites. The video was full of skepticism and all kinds of limiting beliefs, and it was holding back everyone who watched it. When you hear the crap they're saying to themselves (and teaching others!), it's no wonder they aren't growing. Your mindset matters. So, in this episodes, I'm going to address some of those limiting beliefs that often prevent us from making the big leaps in our business (and life). Get Access to the Full Show Notes!

    101: An Awesome Idea For Thank You Pages

    If you listened to episode #84 of the podcast, titled The Super Surprise, then you know how my wife and I love to orchestrate a super surprise for somebody that we love, whether it's a family member or a friend, and create an amazing experience for them. This time we teamed up with my sister and brother-in-law to do another super surprise as an early Christmas present for my parents. My parents are huge Toronto Raptors fans, and I saw an opportunity to get courtside tickets for the game. I love being a buyer as much as I love being a seller. After purchasing the tickets, I landed on a thank you page that sent my mind swirling. It had a really simple offer that said, "Thank you for your purchase. Your purchase unlocks a free trial from Harry's Razors. Get a razor five-blade cartridge and shave gel for just $3 shipping. Learn more." Instead of just saying, "Hey, thank you for your purchase", they found a way to continue the relationship. There is real estate that you and I have in this virtual world of ours that we are not utilizing. In this episode, I am going to give you three areas of opportunity on thank you pages that I want you to think about and leverage. Get Access to the Full Show Notes!
