Webinar for ALL Members (Including YOU)
Hey,
What makes people take the next step when they see your marketing copy? What makes people click, tap, buy or pick up the phone and call you?
You can have a great offer. You can talk to the right market. But if you don't have a call to action, your audience won't know what to do next, so they won't do it. Bummer.
Join me on Thursday for the July marketing webinar: Creating Effective Calls to Action. I will be LIVE from 10-11 AM with a slide show, notes and answers to your questions. There is NO CHARGE for members, and only $25 for public.
We're going to talk about:
what is a "call to action" and why do you need one
the best calls to action by media
how to design calls to action that get results
YES, all members are welcome.
YES, that means YOU.
YES, this will be recorded (both audio and video) and posted in the Marketing Classes section of the Members Only area on this page: CallsToAction
July is Member Appreciation month at the DIY Marketing Center. This is when I remind you how much appreciate you. For your participation, brilliance, personality, support, and presence!
Thank you for your membership at the DIY Marketing Center. I realize that you are very busy, and I am thrilled that you have kept your membership active.
This year's Member Appreciation is totally customizable and DIY, baby! I sent you a calendar of the specials and promotions so you can choose what (if anything) you want. We're doing double Rewards on Mondays! One-day flash sales on Fridays! Friends & Family guest tickets to a special webinar! And more!!
I hope you enjoy it and feel appreciated, my friend. Everything I do here is for YOU.
For me, it is owning a business and taking responsibility for my financial future. I will be celebrating this as well as our country's birthday by spending the day with family.
The DIY office will be closed on Wednesday, July 4th, but open on Tuesday and Thursday. And yeah, I know this is early, but there's so much happening the first week of July that I had to mention this now.
However you choose to celebrate, may the spirit of freedom be with you!

=> New 1-page marketing plan + 20-minute coaching sessions
New 1-Page Marketing Plan for You!
Hey,
I am thrilled to announce my new approach to strategic marketing planning! Introducing the one-page DIY Prosperity & Profitability Marketing Blueprint.
This new format replaces the old school marketing plan. It is shorter, clearer, and easier to create than ever. And it defines your best marketing strategy for generating revenue now.
The DIY Marketing MAP (massive action plan) is the companion document to the Blueprint. The MAP breaks down the strategies from the Blueprint into weekly actionable steps.
Get BOTH these new tools Friday, June 22, 2018, from 9:30-11:30 AM at the DIY in downtown Vancouver. No charge for members!!
Can't make the on-site seminar? You can catch the webinar in July.
Super Busy? New Super Short Sessions!
Need some coaching or accountability? Five minutes on the Action Call not enough? But 45 minutes in a private session is overkill?
The new 20-minute Precision Coaching session may be perfect for you!
No more waiting to schedule your session until you have saved up a ton of issues to discuss. Now you can book a quick session to drill down on pressing issues as they pop up.
