The guest on today's show is Maria Rana, a copywriter and Sales Funnel Strategist. In only two years, Maria, who is a non-native English speaker, has managed to build herself a successful copywriting business. She has also become the go-to expert when it comes to building cash creating funnels. She has helped her clients- even the smallest- generate over $100 000 with their launches. Today, Maria talks to Stacy about sales funnels and about how copywriting is a huge and integral part of them.
Fresh out of university with a degree in literature, Maria, who hails from a tiny, village in Pakistan, really wanted to create the means to become financially independent and make her mark in the world. Her reality at the time, however, did not support those goals, as she comes from a very conservative family, where women weren't allowed to work and there was no concept of making money online.
Maria, being a big dreamer with a vision, made up her mind to change that. She decided to leverage her background in literature and started working as a freelance writer. She started out earning a pittance, but never gave up. She kept going and at the beginning of 2015, she was awarded a scholarship, which is how she got into the copywriting game. In her very first month in business, she made $3000 and since then it's been a wild, wild ride! Listen in today and find out how you can create cash funnels to boost your business beyond your dreams.
Some highlights include:
“Alright, so going back a few years...” From 1.35, Maria talks about how she got to be doing what she does today.
“So, to have a proper funnel in place, you need first off, clarity around your offer...” From minute 4.26, Maria explains where to start with creating sales funnels.
“There are different ways of doing that...” From minute 6.34, Maria offers some strategies to send traffic to your landing pages to really capture those leads.
“On your personal page, you can send them to your fan page, or maybe your Facebook Group, so do include that link in there.” From minute 8.50, Maria talks about the importance of creating links to Facebook.
“So, first off, obviously they're getting a welcome email...” From minute 9.20, Maria talks about email sequences- what the journey looks like and how often you should be sending emails out.
“And if you're wondering where do we exactly start pitching...”From minute 11.27, Maria explains the best place to start pitching.
“You need to have a viable long-term strategy...” From minute 13.00, Maria gives her advice about a strategy you can create for sending out emails.
“So, preferably, if you want to make things easy, I would recommend click funnels...” From minute 14.50, Maria discusses whether you need a landing page service, or if just using your website will work.
“But you should keep in touch with your list at least once or twice a week...” From minute 16.17, Maria suggests how often you should send emails after people have jumped on your landing page and received the welcome email.
“OMG, yes! My first funnel, my welcome email, I asked them one simple question and I got over a hundred responses.” From minute 16.44, Maria discusses whether it's a good idea to end an email with a question- whether people actually respond to them or not.
“Once you have that strategy because you cannot write copy without a strategy...” From minute 17.48, Maria offers some tips for writing really great copy that sells.

Today's guest is Lisa Woodruff, a Personal Organizer, a Productivity Specialist and author of the book The Mindset Of Organization- Take Back Your House One Phase at a Time. Lisa believes that organization is something that can be developed, even if you weren't born that way. On today's show, Lisa explains how you can have your space organized and keep it that way.
Lisa started out as a teacher. At the age of forty, when thinking about what she really wanted to do with her life, she realized that all her successes had to do with organization- either for herself or for others. So she launched her blog Organize 365 in January 2012, with the idea of selling organizing products. Within a couple of months, people were referring to her as a Professional Organizer. Once she realized that that was what she really was, the sky became the limit. Listen in and find out from Lisa how you can organize your life to maximize your productivity.
Some highlights include:
“I have multiple revenue streams...” From minute 2.44, Lisa explains what her business looks like today.
“But when they pay for it, they really do it.” At minute 3.25, Lisa explains how charging for something is often better than giving it way for free.
“It starts with de-cluttering- you always have to de-clutter.” At minute 5.35, Lisa talks about some of the easier things to organize.

“You need to decide what is most important that day.” At minute 9.30, Lisa talks about whether you should sell your unwanted items, or give them away.
“It's because you don't set in organizational systems and go to the level of productivity.” From minute 10.30, Lisa explains why clutter tends to creep back in.
“So this is what I call Organization 101- setting up a Sunday Basket for that kitchen pile that is not going to go away.” At minute 13.37, Lisa describes a great system for dealing with mail and the daunting 'kitchen pile'.
“If the whole entire house is disorganized... we're going to focus on the following four areas, because they impact a woman's life the most.” At minute 17.19, Lisa talks about the primary areas that she organizes in most people's homes.
“So it depends on how long it's been disorganized.” At minute 18.14, Lisa talks about the cost of having her organize your home.
“So the message I really, really want women to hear is that it doesn't matter if you were born organized, or not organized, everyone can be organized.” From minute 22.51, Lisa shares a heartfelt message with all women.

Today, Stacy talks about how the outside view of a business can look so different from what's going on on the inside. She uses a story about a building that she had renovated for her Performing Arts Academy, to point out that you always need to have some savings as a safety net, to help you when you need it. She also encourages you to ensure that you have a line of credit available for unforeseen situations. She explains that credit is something that is usually available when you don't really need it, so it helps to keep it in reserve for when you do.
Stacy also talks about budgeting today- and the importance of having a budget that allows for you to have money available to do something fun with, even if you're feeling a little tight. Listen in today as Stacy encourages you to “work while you're waiting” and to “do things bigger and better, whatever that is for your business”.

“If you keep thinking I will not go eat out, I will not go to the movies...” At minute 8.50, Stacy encourages you to do something to feel that you are being rewarded, to motivate yourself.
