Card decks are a unique, fun way to showcase your expertise. In this case, the card decks I’m referring to are not your typical pack of playing cards. Instead, these are what you may have heard referred to as affirmation cards, inspiration cards, or quote cards – just to name a few. Heck, you may even own a set… or two, or three, or more – not that I’m speaking from experience or anything 😉

Don’t think creating a card deck means you have to come up with all new content. Because you don’t! In fact, you can leverage more of the content you already have. For example, I took my popular Stretch Yourself Challenge and turned it into some bite-size card deck content. Unlike lots of other card deck creators, I do not sell my cards as a stand-alone product. I use them as bonuses.

Not sure you could use a card deck in your business? Check out this quick video, 11 Ways Different Businesses Use Card Decks, from the Queen of Card Decks Rosie Battista.

Rosie’s step-by-step card deck creation course has helped lots of people publish their own card decks. Once students have completed and published their decks, Rosie interviews them. These interviews are a great way for you to see how unique and different card decks can be for different niches.

Here are some for you to check out:

Card Deck Creator Interview Series: Ponder or Pursue?

Rosie says: “I found while flipping thru Tina’s cards that I had to dig deep to answer them. And then I thought, wow, how fun would this be to ask my partner and my kids these questions. What a great idea to leave a bowl of Ponder & Pursue cards on the coffee table! Imagine the conversations that can easily ignite, when they pull the card, “what are your pet peeves?”

How Do You Know When It’s Time for a Rebrand?

Sarah felt like her business was in a funk. She still had customers and sales coming in. Her profits were steady. But she wasn’t growing her email list or excited about creating new products. Everything felt ho-hum.

When Sarah reached out to a business coach, the other woman suggested it might be time for a rebrand of her business. A rebrand is when you take a hard look at the image behind your business and you adjust it. Here are a few key signs it might be time for a rebrand…

Your Audience Has Changed

Sarah originally started her business designing websites for corporations. She enjoyed the challenge but found her true passion was helping mom-preneurs DIY their own websites. This meant Sarah’s target market had changed but she hadn’t adjusted her branding.

As a result, she felt like her business no longer represented what she did. It was hard to feel excited to serve anyone when there was a huge disconnect between what she loved and who she wanted to serve.

You’ve Gained Valuable Experience

Sometimes, it’s important to rebrand when your core offerings have changed. When Nancy started her website, she was a virtual assistant to entrepreneurs. She loved serving this audience and was still passionate about helping them a decade later.

But she’s no longer the fresh-faced newbie she once was. Now Nancy is an online business manager and it’s time to rebrand her business so clients can appreciate her valuable experience (and pay her accordingly).

Your Core Offering Is Changing

It might be time to rebrand if your core offer isn’t what you thought it would be. Tanya was a service provider specializing in copywriting. But the more she worked with her clients, the more she realized they were coming to her for help with their sales funnels, not for her copywriting experience.

When Tanya realized this, she decided to rebrand with a focus on her expertise in sales funnels. It doesn’t mean she won’t offer copywriting occasionally, but she’ll focus on providing what her clients really want from her—her sales funnel consulting.

You’ve Changed Significantly

Laura ran a business focused on making marriages stronger. When she went through a bitter divorce, she no longer had the energy or desire to be in the relationship industry. She knew it was time for a rebrand.

Some businesses are what’s known as “lifestyle businesses”. That means, these businesses are closely tied to your lifestyle. If your lifestyle changes significantly, it will affect your business as well. For example, if you’re a stay-at-home mom and you serve that audience then when you are left with an empty nest, you may find yourself craving a rebrand.

A rebrand can be wonderful and exciting! It’s a great opportunity to evaluate your brand and decide what you want to be known for.

But before we jump into more about a rebrand, there’s also what is known as a refresh. So let’s take a look at what that is and how it’s different from a rebrand.

What’s the Difference Between a Refresh and a Rebrand?

If you’re curious about the difference between a rebrand and a refresh, read on…

Starting Fresh or Being Choosy

With a rebrand, many business owners start from scratch. They toss out their old logo, fonts, colors, themes, messages, and core offerings. With all of these changes, the final branding may not even resemble the business you originally built.

By contrast, a refresh means being choosy. You might pick which elements of your brand you want to keep. When Tina decided to refresh her brand, she already knew her theme and message were correct. But she’d gotten feedback that the colors she was using in her logo and on her website weren’t attracting her ideal audience. She tweaked them and quickly found that her brand began resonating with her people.

New Offers or The Same Ones Spiffed Up

A rebrand makes sense when you’re creating offers that are radically different from what you’ve done in the past. For example, if you previously offered web design services and you’ve decided to focus solely on copywriting, then a rebrand is a smart idea.

With a refresh, your offers might stay the same. After all, you still want to design websites. But you might tweak or change those offers to reflect new price points, added value, or your increased level of experience.

Moving On or Serving the Same Market

Sometimes, a rebrand happens when a business owner wants to serve a new market. After all, if you’re helping new moms start an online business but you pivot and start serving six-figure executives, you’ll want to use different branding to attract your new audience.

With a refresh, your target audience usually stays the same. You’re still deeply passionate about serving them and committed to helping your people. Like Tina, you may have just discovered some element of your branding isn’t quite speaking to your audience the way you’d hoped.

Choosing between a refresh or a rebrand can feel a little overwhelming. If you need advice on how to do this, reach out to a business coach. They can guide you through the process!

Which Mistakes Should You Avoid When Rebranding?

Kathy had loved offering her services as virtual assistant. But during a call with her mastermind group, she realized it was time to pursue her dream of becoming an author and a speaker. This meant it was time to start the rebranding process on her website and in her business.

Rebranding doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult. However, there are a few key missteps you’ll want to avoid to make the process smoother. Here’s what you shouldn’t do…

Cast Off Your Old Audience

Yes, you’re going in a different direction. But that doesn’t mean giving the cold shoulder to former clients or suddenly ignoring colleagues that were excellent sources of referrals.

You don’t want to damage your reputation or hurt those you’ve worked with in the past. So be kind and patient during this phase. Simply explain that you’re going in a new direction.

Keep in mind that your network may still be able to help you reach your goals. A former client might put you in touch with an event coordinator who needs a speaker. An old colleague may know a publisher who’s looking for a writer that specializes in your niche.

Not Telling Anyone

Don’t suddenly change your brand overnight without telling anyone. This will lead to a lot of confusion and might cause your customers some stress. Remember, your customers and clients have supported you on your journey.

Invite your community into your journey as you make your new shift. Explain that you’re excited about this new direction and give others a way to support you. For example, you might say, “I’m delighted by my new brand name. Would you do me a favor and give my new Facebook page a like?”

Changing Too Much Too Fast

Kathy watched another business owner change her brand name, website, offers, and customer base within a short time frame. She changed so much and so quickly that her old customers felt lost.

While you definitely want to let your customers know the change is coming, don’t feel like you have to alter everything at once either. It’s OK to redirect your website to a new URL but keep the same theme. This gives your audience a chance to adjust to your new direction.

What Elements Will You Change During a Rebrand?

When Mia decided it was time for a rebrand, she felt overwhelmed by all of the decisions she had to make. She wondered which elements she should keep from her old brand and which ones she should update. If you’re like Mia and you have some of the same concerns, here’s what you should think about…

Your Logo

Your logo is the central piece of your brand identity, which means changing it up can be tricky. Sometimes, a brand’s logo becomes so iconic that a company opts to merely “freshen” it every few years.

But if you’re going in an entirely new direction or pursuing a new audience, it’s probably time for a new logo. You want a logo that’s going to attract and speak to your potential clients and customers.

Your URL

If you’ve changed the name of your business, you’ll want an URL that matches your new brand name. You can search for a new domain name or purchase one through a hosting company like us right here at Mom Webs 🙂

When you grab a new URL, you can set it up so your old website redirects to the new URL. That means any customers or clients who accidentally type in your old address will still arrive at your website.

Your Theme

Once you’ve updated your logo and URL, it’s time to consider changing up your website’s theme. If the theme is still new and serves your current content well, then you may not need to change it.

But if your theme is older or it lacks the features that you need, now is a good time to consider remodeling. If you use WordPress, you might want to consider a framework option like the Genesis Framework or Thrive Themes. Both companies create WordPress themes that are easy to customize and filled with plenty of features.

Your Social Media Banners

As soon as you begin rolling out your new brand, you’ll want to update your social media banners, too. These are easy-to-forget images like your Twitter header, your Facebook page cover, or your LinkedIn graphic.

You can outsource this task to the same person who designed your logo. But if you’re a DIY’er, you can also use a website like Canva or PicMonkey to create a beautiful graphic on your own. Just make sure to size the dimensions correctly for each social network and you shouldn’t have a problem.

Don’t feel like you have to rush your rebrand process. It’s a smart thing to take some time and think it through. Consider which elements you want to change and what you’d like to keep the same.

How Can You Handle a Rebrand Gracefully?

Stephanie had decided to rebrand her business. She knew exactly what she was going to change up and what she’d keep the same. Since she’d once been with a company who handled a rebranding poorly, she made the decision to do a few key things with her own rebrand…

Let Customers Know in Advance

The first thing Stephanie did was starting hinting at the changes to come on social media. She posted sneak peeks of her new logo and chatted about why she was excited for the coming change.

When you tell customers you’re planning to rebrand, introduce the idea slowly. Most people don’t like change and shy away from it. So it’s up to you to position this rebrand as a positive event that customers can look forward to.

Set a Timeline

Although she chose not to publicly reveal her timeline, Stephanie did create one. She noted down the important milestones she wanted to cover like switching her website ULR and choosing a new theme.

There are many decisions that go into creating a successful rebrand. It can be helpful if you have a timeline in place so you can make sure those changes are rolled out smoothly.

Plan for Delays

Don’t assume that everything will happen easily and quickly. It’s not uncommon to start on rebranding and realize you have to fix one or more things.

For Stephanie as she was moving her website, she realized her old one had been infected with a virus and there were still traces of it in her files.

Because she’d accounted for potential delays in her timeline, she didn’t feel stressed or troubled over this development. Instead, she hired an expert to clean her files and went on to the next phase of her plan.

Prepare for Customer Support

As you rebrand, you will probably get a higher volume of customer support issues. One client may not know where to login anymore. Another might not be getting your emails.

If you have a large customer base or if you’re already overwhelmed with client work, you may want to consider hiring a virtual assistant temporarily. Your VA can handle these common issues and resolve them for your customers in a timely manner.

Breathe

Remember, you don’t have to get your rebranding done in a day. It’s OK if it takes you a few weeks to get everything sorted. It’s a lot like moving—some days, you’ll feel like there are boxes everywhere and you’re making no progress.

But rest assured that you are. When you’re done with this big rebranding process, you’ll be happier and better able to serve your customers.

Rebranding is delightful and thrilling! Approach it with a “can do” attitude and a positive mindset. Not only will the journey be easier but you’ll enjoy it more.

And remember, if you need help figuring out whether a refresh or rebrand is what you need, a business coach can be a great sounding block to figure out the direction you need to go. If you need a coach, be sure to check out the different options I have available here.

20 Ways To Show Up On Social Media In 2020

Social media – you either love it or hate it. Michelle D. Garrett hit the nail on the head when she said:

For many of us, social media is something we squeeze into our schedules, delegate out or put on the back-burner completely. Often we focus on creating Facebook posts or InstaWorthy images and neglect other areas of social media that could help us connect more with our communities.

If one of your goals for 2020 is to step up your social media game, you’ll want to read Melissa’s guest post for sure.

Everything Starts With An Idea

Everything starts with the seed of an idea. The idea doesn’t always originate out of your own head. Sometimes, it’s a seed that someone else plants for you. No matter where the idea originates, it only germinates when you’re willing to take care of it and it only blossoms when you fall in love with it.

In this post, author Rosie Battista shares her story of what happened when the seed of an idea was planted in her at Beach Camp.

One Powerful Question To Change Your Business

Do you often find that you over complicate or make things more difficult than they need to be? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Guest author, Melissa Brown definitely knows firsthand what taking the hard road was all about. She describes it best when she says:

My reality was grounded in the false belief that success was something that needed to be hard to achieve. Otherwise, it didn’t ‘count’.  

Thankfully, a few years ago, during group coaching with Kelly, she was introduced to one powerful question that began to change her mind and she started to think about things differently:

Could it be true that I didn’t have to do everything the hard way?

Melissa started to realize that things could be ‘easy’ and fun!

This is a guest post by Anita Hampl, the Short Attention Span Writer. 

LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, provides ways for you to drive its visitors to your website. Buckle up and read on to find out how!

LinkedIn is a directory of professional profiles, an archive of wide-ranging business articles, a targeted news feed, and a place for recruiters to find job seekers.

But the delicious irony of LinkedIn is how you can move viewers to your own (hosted) website!

Picture yourself stepping out to the porch from a noisy Chamber of Commerce Meetup to continue a conversation that may lead to business or romance. You can entice LinkedIn connections off the platform in a similar way, to cultivate relationships and develop business.

Bringing someone to your (internet) home from LinkedIn involves varying commitments of time and effort. Look at the possibilities, then choose your role: the Driver, the Passenger, or the backseat Driver!

1. The Driver: Active.

The Driver is a thought leader or trendsetter who loves new concepts. He’ll analyze them, talk about them, and write about them. His interests beyond the digital realm cover financial as well as corporate, societal, governmental, or industrial matters.

A winning Driver strives to educate, entertain, or inspire … with a call to action in mind for each step he takes.

Two practices he can use to drive LinkedIn visitors to his own hosted site are creation and curation.

• Creation: The Driver publishes in-depth, original articles on LinkedIn “Publisher.” Designed to showcase his expertise and leadership, they may be reposted from the Driver’s website.
• Curation: The Driver selects current news items, journal articles, or trending posts from the web. He reposts them in his LinkedIn newsfeed with witty, thoughtful, or curious comments.

The ideal posts on LinkedIn cause readers to:

• like the content,
• engage in the discussion by commenting,
• share the post with their network on LinkedIn, and/or
• click on over to the Driver’s own website to learn more about the author or their organization.

The Driver welcomes engagement with his postings. He understands that higher engagement causes the material (and the author) to place higher within the LinkedIn search algorithms.

Whether created or curated, each post should have at least one clickable link to his own website or to a relevant affiliate sales page.

Cool tip: People who are not your first-degree Connections—who are not necessarily allowed to read everything on your LinkedIn profile—may read your posts and click over to your website!

2. The Passenger: Passive.

The Passenger is a perfectly accomplished business owner or solopreneur. Between managing her day-to-day business and working to build her brand, she is content to update her own website regularly. But social media is just not on her radar.

She put up a LinkedIn profile ten years ago because everyone else was doing it. The classic case of “set it and forget it.”

With a little concentrated effort, a Passenger on LinkedIn can successfully take advantage of LinkedIn to drive their visitors to her own website.

She can set up a free Company Page (aka LinkedIn Page or Business Page) if her email is unique to her domain (e.g., not a Yahoo or Gmail address). The Company Page has two distinct places where a visitor can click and be taken to her website.

Using my Company Page as an example, notice that:

1. The Learn More button appears and leads directly to my (Mom Webs) hosted website.

2. On the About tab/page of the Company Page, my URL is listed again and is also clickable, taking me to my hosted website.

Cool tip: If the Passenger includes a logo on their Company page, that logo will populate the Experience sections of their personal LinkedIn profiles. And the more-attractive logo will be a live link back to the Company page.

Another person’s example:

But if someone does not have a Company page, the plain gray square will fill in the space in the Experience section.

Moving forward, once the Company Page is set up, the Passenger is free to populate it with content, actively post copy and engage in activity, or … just leave it. It will continue to allow any visitors to exit to her website.

3. The Backseat Driver: Passively Active.

The Backseat Driver on LinkedIn, just like their counterpart on family driving vacations everywhere, likes to give advice. And directions. And always has a comment.

On LinkedIn, however, this is okay!

The Backseat Driver is not responsible for creating anything (or for paying for gas and tolls) but seems to have more fun than the others. They can surf the web, browse through the news feeds, see who has a work anniversary or promotion, and read Publisher posts.

Then they can like, comment, or share whenever they find something relevant to their business or profession.

• The meatier or more detailed the comment, the greater likelihood that LinkedIn visitors will also like, comment, or share.
• With luck, the activity will become viral.
• Other viewers will notice the exchange, and many will click on their profile to see who this is. This is the first step in driving them to your hosted website.

Other fun Backseat Driver activities that can garner attention for you on LinkedIn include endorsing people for skills and writing recommendations for connections.

When people on LinkedIn notice you (casually or via a search), if there is an obvious link to your website, many will click on it. While you cannot control who will click (or step away from the noisy Chamber of Commerce Meetup), or what steps they will take next, you may rest assured that you took some action to help drive traffic to your website.

SO which one were YOU: the Driver, the Passenger, the Backseat Driver? Or were you an overachieving all three?!

What Is a Radical Giver?

Jennie wanted to quit her job so she could spend more time with her twin boys. She began to look into work-at-home opportunities. She heard about the virtual assistant industry and knew it’d be a great fit for her.

But after almost six months, all she had were a handful of low-paying clients that didn’t seem to respect her. She was frustrated and wondering whether she should give up when she had a discovery call with a business coach, Anita. While they were talking, the coach explained that Jennie wasn’t serving anyone but herself.

Radical Givers Serve

“Your business does exist to make money, absolutely,” Anita shared, “But it should also be about serving your community. You need to discover how you can help your clients rather than chasing dollars aimlessly.”

Radical givers in business are entrepreneurs that want to do more than simply make a profit—they want to make a difference, too. Whether you’re serving your clients as a virtual assistant or selling digital products and memberships, you can practice radical giving.

Radical Givers Focus

One thing that sets radical givers apart is their focus. That’s because radical givers know who they want to serve. They have a target audience in mind that they’re excited about giving back to and are passionate about serving them.

Radical Givers Invest

Once Jennie knew who her ideal clients were, she made a list of places where these ideal clients spent time online including Facebook groups and LinkedIn groups. Then she joined these groups and began investing time in the groups.

She answered business questions, joined in the discussions, and made sure to welcome new members to the community. As Jennie put her roots deep into the groups, she began attracting her ideal clients and earning a much higher hourly rate.

She asked her coach why she was attracting so much positive attention and Anita said, “People are naturally attracted to givers. When you’re generous with others, they want to be generous in return. Kindness always comes back to you.”

Being a radical giver in business doesn’t mean that you never make a cent or that you have to work for below average rates. You can earn a lot of money and still be a radical giver. It just means that you’re dedicated to your clients and customers. You’re willing to go the extra mile and you truly care about the community you’re serving.

Developing the Radical Giver Mindset

Deidre joined a business group on Facebook where members read a business book each month. Every Monday, the group leader uses Facebook Live to start an interactive discussion about the book.

When the group leader started their usual livestream, she asked if anyone was struggling. Deidre quickly shared that she was.

“I grew up in a single parent household. My mom struggled just to make ends meet every month. I like the idea of being a radical giver but I’m worried there’s just not enough goodness in the world to go around.”

Deidre isn’t alone. Many online business owners struggle to become radical givers despite really wanting to. The problem is often linked to a poverty mindset.

Here are three beliefs that keep you stuck in poverty and how to overcome them:

Poverty Mindset #1: There’s Not Enough to Go Around

When you believe that there is a limit to the money or goodness available in the world, you can approach every situation with a belief that you must hoard things. You have to hold tightly to your money, your time, and your gifts.

But what if you flipped the script? Instead of telling yourself there’s not enough to go around, embrace the belief that there’s more than enough to share.

What you focus on will always expand.

Poverty Mindset #2: Helping Others Shine Means I Can’t Shine

It’s easy to think that if other people are awesome, you can’t be awesome, too. That’s because most people imagine the world as a small stage where only a few, truly gifted entrepreneurs can show off their talents.

But in reality, the stage is big enough to support everyone. In fact, your brand or product could be exactly what someone else needs. Instead of viewing other entrepreneurs or brands as your competition, see them as your friends. Going solo is lonely but a journey with friends? That’s so much fun!

Poverty Mindset #3: I Need to Take on Every Client or Project

Sometimes, a poverty mindset can show up as taking on every client or project that comes your way. It often stems from the fear that if you don’t, you might lose out on money or experience.

But the problem with this belief is that it keeps you from doing your best work. If a project comes along that’s not a terrific fit for you, say no. When you do this, you open up room in your business for projects that truly light you up.

Moving past a poverty mindset and becoming a radical giver isn’t something you can do overnight. It often takes a few months of practice and the support from a loving community of like-minded business owners.

Becoming Part of a Community of Givers

Arielle was committed to being a radical giver in her business and she wanted to build a community of like-minded entrepreneurs. So, she started looking online for groups that she could join.

She found one Facebook group filled with positive, encouraging posts from members and decided to join. Once she was accepted into the community, she focused on a few key tasks…

Answer Questions from Members

When another member posted a question about publishing a blog post to her WordPress website, Arielle responded and explained how to do it. She even linked to a helpful tutorial she found on YouTube.

Share Your Journey with the Group

Arielle didn’t just focus on helping other members. She also openly shared her journey with the group. She posted about searching for a new WordPress theme, then she posted again when she’d decided on one that fit her needs.

As she was installing the theme, Arielle asked a question about customizing themes and received several responses. She finished the edits to the theme then posted a link to her new site, thanking everyone that helped along the way.

Welcome New Members

Whenever Arielle saw new members join the group, she made it a point to welcome them. Then she went on to ask about their business and who they enjoyed working with. This gave her a chance to get to know new members and meant Arielle knew who to refer a client to when they needed a specialized service or product.

Create A Thriving Community

Within a few months, Arielle had built a strong network of entrepreneurs she could rely on. She loved being able to support them and receiving encouragement in return.

If you’re like Arielle and you want to give back to others, consider joining a group like Kelly’s Love People + Make Money. Then actively participate and engage with members, so you can build your own thriving community.

Don’t Wait, Create: Radical Giving in Your Content

One simple way you can practice radical giving in your business is to be generous with your content marketing. Instead of making all of your content focused on you and what you can do, focus on providing value to your readers or listeners.

Therese Kienast of Radical Leadership recommends that online business owners create more content. She says, “Don’t wait, create!” If you wait, you’re less likely to follow through and publish excellent content.

Instead, try to capture inspiration the moment it strikes. If you can’t right then, try to do it as soon as possible. This will keep your enthusiasm and energy revved up as you create and share your new content.

Here are a few easy ideas you can use to create content that serves…

Curate Content from Other Bloggers

Don’t be afraid to tell your community about the bloggers you admire or link to their amazing content. You can’t serve everyone and even if you could, that would quickly get exhausting. There’s more than enough attention and applause to go around, so take some time to focus on content curation.

Interview Industry Leaders

Another way to practice radical giving in your business is to interview industry leaders. You can do this through podcast episodes or by creating webinars where you feature an authority on their area of expertise.

Add A Bonus to a Great Product

When you find a product you’d like to promote to your community, go the extra mile and give back. Offer a juicy bonus that only your buyers will get. This bonus could be a short report, an audio course, access to an upcoming webinar, or any other product you can think of. Make sure your bonus is relevant to the actual product being sold.

When you open up a space that invites interaction between members, you’re not just talking at them, you’re Creating Community and it’s a beautiful thing!  And that’s exactly what Create More Community will teach you.
