Are you a genius whom nobody understands… a cutting edge highly creative progressive visionary out to change the world in a loving way? Is that you?
Let’s see if you can relate to this scenario: You’ve spent most of your creative energy developing your unique gift and offering for the world. It’s complex. You’re uniting various elements: trainings, modalities, ideas, breakthroughs, missions, abilities. Even ONE of these incredible abilities would blow the mind of your average Joe. But you have like a MILLION of these interwoven skills, ideas and solutions. Am I close?
So you try to market yourself online. Everyone says it’s so easy so why not try, right? You start attending all these free webinars and trainings, and since it’s all so overwhelming, you select a program that promises to help you get your marketing together. Maybe you even hire the big gun coach leading the program to get that extra help.
And what you hear is this: “You need to narrow that down, find your niche, make it easy for the everyone to understand.” Or possibly you hear this: “That’s too woo-woo, you’re too ‘out-there,’ you need to water that down so people will ‘get’ it.”
Then you want to tear your hair out because it’s all wrong, so wrong. How could they take your money and then discourage you so badly? (Totally has happened to me, by the way, which is how I know about the hair tearing out part.)
Before you go bald with frustration, I want to tell you that you and I are not the only ones this has happened to. I speak with hundreds of out-of-the-box entrepreneurs who struggle with this very issue.
The reason that traditional marketing gurus and coaches tell you to narrow it down and simplify is because:
1) It’s easier to teach that dumbed-down in-the-box kind of strategy, and
2) they assume you need to attract the regular people and that therefore you should tailor your marketing to them. But I’m here to tell you, Joe is not your perfect customer. SO FAR FROM IT! And you don’t need to dumb it down.
Your people are smart! Your Soul Tribe, the people seeking you right now, would not respond to that watered down stuff! They would say, “What is this tepid soup?” And then they’d bounce right off your site, email or post.
You’re people are seeking something WAY out of the box, a new paradigm that will solve their issue and help them progress on their chosen path.
The challenge is not only to attract them, but also to ensure they actually RECOGNIZE you when they find you. If you are doing that watered down marketing, you could attract exactly the right people and they simply will bounce off your site thinking they’ve come to the wrong place!
So what can you do?
