How To Find Your Target Market & Build A Local Targeted Audience | MarieTV Live Call-In Show

Such great advice. Marie, you're a gem! Thank you x

Something for your soul 🙏🏼

Love the q and a !

let Greg talk!

I didn't make my mind yet about you guys but for now it look broad and gereic talk. Nothing special !

I need to keep defining my audience. Thank you, Marie!

Marie, THANK YOU for making us better!❤

Another geat episode, Marie.
Speaking of email marketing, what are your thoughts about Gmail, for instance, taking steps to pre-sort emails from list senders into the promotions folder. It seems a little like social media algorithms controlling which posts get seen. In essence, does it make email marketing more difficult?

Greg THANK YOU for reminding me to take notes!!

great video and great advice Marie, as always! thank you. I totally agree with you that we shouldn't spend a lot of time and money on social media. What do you think of spending time and money on developing and implementing an SEO strategy along with email marketing? Is it worth spending time and money on focusing on SEO? Thank you so much!

What I got from this was that my email list is mine, and social media is a bait and switch. Thank God. Facebook is a black hole of time suck and I don't need it, yeah!!! Love you! You are changing the world

Hey Marie Team! Where do I go to ask a question for your next Q & A? Thank you!

Salma Lead me here great show, and will be back! :D

Thumbs up for Marie saying the word "Shit".

Wow this was some cool knowledge, ive seen your videos before Marie very cool content!

Haha "screen sucking"
LOVE you Marie!

OMG love your channel

So many gems, thanks Marie!

Great questions.

Love to see Greg's thoughts at the end. I'm always wondering what's in his mind when I watch these. Thanks for note taking Greg! :)

Many, many thanks Marie for answering my question today. 
I'm already looking my website with new eyes and will implement the emotional results aspect you crucially mention which is visible on my sales pages, but more of this needs to be immediately seen elsewhere. Many other Take-Homes too. Thank you.
You've been my inspiration for many years.
I'm sure there's a skater inside you Marie. I saw the home video show where you and Kris Carr et al go to the roller disco. I can tell you skated as a kid. Let me know if the MF team would like to have a skate lesson with me when I pass through NYC end of May? I'm mid-way through the World Tour Blessings from Rio de Janeiro.

Why do you look so fab?! Omg I haveng watched a video in a while I guess

great how to video! Gives me some creative ideas for videos for my channel! :)

Hi Marie, I've subscribed to you channel... and I love it!
You're a great entertainer!
Cheers from Brazil!

Greg-  I will be part of your flow group! I am an accountant who loves art and being creative - yes, that is possible!

Sequencing is everything, our very DNA depends on it. As always, thank you for B-School and you!

I’m a friend (and fan) of Salma’s. I wanted to stop by and say GREAT show Marie!

OK, so I can get off social media. But how do I grow my email list without Social Media? I have 300 people of which 200 are friends not clients.

Yes! The changes in the Instagram algorithm has impacted my bookish candle business so much. I've gone from 120 orders a month to about 10. And I've had other bookish business friends close shop because there's no organic reach. I do have a separate website from Etsy (Etsy also seems to have adapted the pay to play as well), and I have a few people signed up to a newsletter through my website, but I think I may need to seek placing my candles in local bookstores or try my hand at a craft show or two. But I totally agree. I don't even bother with Facebook anymore (too cluttered, too much social throw-up).

Thankx so much so much Gr8 tips 👌 yeah when you work online we get addicted to social media😝 It's hard to stay away. It's so imp how you get right clients without spending much time on social media!! You are one of the best mentor!!! Also I realized the way Female Entrepreneurs run business are so different than Male entrepreneurs😝

To me the question that resonated the most is the question" how to monetise from social media platform?
Because I'm seeing a growth in my social media following. But the content that I put on social media is not similar to the subject, were I want to grow my business. My Business caters to the people of two opposite directions. I am struggling to find a path were both side of my business meet together and walk in harmony.

Oh wow!! Such a pleasure to be able to talk to you Marie and hearing this perspective again. Thanks so much for having me on the call-in show 💜💜💜

To be most effective in business, you need to know who you're selling to. Everyone is not your customer. A generic message doesn't appeal specifically to anyone. So defining your target market is a crucial thing in business. This is exactly what we are executing in our business. We own a cookie shop business in our college town. When we first started it, we were living in our car with very little direction, just a huge passion to be successful. We just graduated college as well. We started a cookie shop out of a local bagel shop in their off hours at night. We were living in our car in the parking lot of the shop at the time with my boyfriend, Bran. It was a crazy experience but it worked! We became a success! And how we have our first storefront location (a second launching soon!) We started it to fund a year long backpacking trip around the world and to be successful while living the life of our dreams.

Took me 8 months to build up 2k facebook likes... made it to 10k in the next 3 months. People are sheep, that little number determines whether or not they will value u and deem it necessary to follow u. It only gets easier after that. Trust me.


P.s. To anyone out there who's a creative entrepreneur trying to create a business around art, I'm posting videos every single day on how to make it happen.

“People don’t buy information; they buy results.” YESSSS. 🙌🏻

Hellz yes to spending less time on social! It rarely builds businesses like most think, unless you’re using it soooo intentionally. But I’m curious if Marie is saying to almost QUIT social, or still use it to promote products/services, build and nurture your community, etc.

Wow you’re amazing! Thank you for your insights and always sharing your wisdom. 🙏🏻💜

Not my favorite call-in episode, but I think I still got some useful ideas. Marie, I like your sweater! Stay warm💛

Just love this. Seems like this is a theme that is rising. We believe in the value of the micro-influencer. If you can build an authentic dedicated audience it's so valuable. Even when we talk to brands they are much more interested in dealing with a lot of micro-influencers than one big influencer. There's is room for all of us. And Yes the email list is HUGE!

I always say this... "God give me the serenity of mind to not give two shits about the things that I cannot control. Control the things that are within my grasp and the wisdom to know the difference. May I also have the compassion to treat others with kindness and respect, regardless of how they treat me."

That phone number sequence analogy....was golden. Thanks for that, truly!

I love Salma (Jafri)! (Marie, she's kinda famous! Have subscribed to her for a couple of years. If you don't know her, check out her channel - SO EXCELLENT). So excited to hear from her here! Cool. :) Thank you so much for this video, excellent!

✋🏼👊🏼😀❤️ Marie is awesome 👏 Namaste 🙏 ☮️ B School for the win! Focus on what you can control. ✅

Thanks Marie. I am saving money for the B-School 2019
