  Every business has to start somewhere and establish its own corner of a market to succeed. But that doesn’t mean you can’t assess and take pointers from those who have been in the game for much longer. And who better to learn from than those businesses that absolutely dominate their market? Sure, they may have a budget or online footprint that allows them to do things you can’t right now, but their mentality and approach can always be recycled in a way that works for your brand. Understanding not just what stands out in a business, but why it stands out and how you are drawn in is the key to breaking down a major player’s marketing platform. In this podcast episode, we talk with designer, public speaker and entrepreneur extraordinaire Maurice Cherry about the specific efforts of four global companies in their quest for market supremacy. Specifically, we chat about their use of scarcity and unique branding to set themselves apart from the rest and make people desperate to become their customer. Correct

The world of conversions and website optimisation may seem like a purely technical field, with little scope to let your imagination flow. That’s what many digital marketing companies may suggest, too, with a heavy focus on statistics and data-driven decisions. But as you’ll know by now, the Exposure Ninja team are not your average digital marketers and SEO gurus. As well as tried and tested ideas and strategies, we like to throw a little outside-the-box thinking into the melting pot. The art of storytelling may be considered a bit of a “fluffy” subject, but if you embrace it and know how do it right, a well-told story can be the launching pad for website views and conversions. It can even work for just a single page, like those all-important landing pages. In this podcast episode, we chat to Chelsea Scholz of Unbounce about getting those creative juices flowing to enhance your technical knowledge of digital marketing. Chelsea takes us through the process of designing and using a story successfully across your

Understatement alert!!! Accountants aren’t known for their creative marketing. But in this episode, we talk with Diane Gardner who has relabelled herself a ‘tax coach’ in order to position her business completely separately to the crowd.  She shares the process that she went through to find her unique angle, and how it’s enabled her to use content and authority marketing to build a brand around her services that ‘regular’ accountants wouldn’t be able to build. So whether you’re a service business like Diane’s or not, this episode will get those creative juices flowing so that you can start to think about how your audience sees you, and what key benefits you could draw out and reposition to make your marketing message resonate much louder with your perfect customers.

So many startups treat the pursuit of funding as their primary goal, rather than creating a profitable marketing funnel that allows them to scale. Jessica Mah, CEO of inDinero, has done both and learned the hard way that, when it comes to growth, nothing beats a profitable business with a scalable marketing funnel.  In this episode, she takes us through inDinero’s story from inception to success via some very rocky times. She shares her ‘boom to bust’ experience, the decision to pivot inDinero’s offering, and takes us behind the scenes of their current marketing funnel (Clue: their website’s CTA will surprise you). If you’re a SaaS business, service company, a startup, you’re seeking funding, or you just want to generate more leads, you’ll find Jessica’s story inspiring and cautionary in equal measure. Enjoy!

If you’re a small business taking on large competitors, here’s a marketing case study that you’ll find fascinating. In a market dominated by huge blockbuster novels and multi million dollar promotion budgets, there’s an undercurrent of very successful underground ‘niche’ authors. No surprises there, you might think. What *is* a surprise though is how groups of these authors have turned to collaboration to pool their resources, cross promote to each other’s audiences, and create new types of books targeted at hitting bestseller lists. This episode’s guest is Meg Cowley, successful indie author and generally switched on marketer. She takes us behind the scenes of the indie author movement and reveals a world where Amazon SEO, joint ventures, lead generation, and marketing Facebook groups are as important as the books themselves. There are lessons here for any business competing with large, well-funded rivals, and it’s great to hear how the Internet provides space for specialist niche offerings to build large, r

Alison May has built Brocante Home on the back of a very clear manifesto. In fact, her manifesto is so clear that she actually released it to her audience as a way to clearly establish the purpose of her site. In this episode, we dig through Alison’s growth story so far and hear how she’s grown the Brocante Home, courses and membership, all without ever being ‘sales’. She shares how her authenticity and openness has been a powerful tool to unite her audience around the mission and build a level of trust that very few businesses ever achieve. We’re joined by Exposure Ninja’s very own Nic Tuxford, who as well as being a superstar Digital Marketer is a long time follower of Alison’s. It’s fascinating to hear Nic’s take, as a customer, and to hear how how Alison’s message and approach has resonated so well.  Fascinating insights for any business, whether or not you’re in a similar market, on the importance of authenticity.

This episode’s guests are content marketing duo Andrew and Pete. Known for their fun approach (no boring, corporate-speak buzzwords here!) and liberal use of emojis, we discuss how brands can develop their own ‘Content Stamp’ and use it to make every piece they write more engaging and more effective at driving traffic, sales and familiarity. They also share how they organised and promoted their first ever online conference, attracting some of the biggest names in their industry to speak. Online conferences can be a really nifty way of immediately raising your credibility and authority, and can bring in some very valuable connections. Hearing the guys talk about their mistakes and sharing their top tips will be really useful if this is something that you’re considering.

Steph Douglas built eCommerce store Don’t Buy Her Flowers off the back of the success of her ‘warts and all blog’.  In this episode Steph takes us behind the scenes of the store’s growth to explain how she used the popularity of the blog to drive sales in the store, designed the brand, built the social media and email marketing channels, and even used being publicly labelled as a ‘bad parent’ by the Daily Mail to grow her shop’s sales.

Our guest this week shows that whatever your story is, you can find a way to use it to grow your business and build a closeness with your audience. Ryan Stewman has been to prison - not once but twice - and not because he forgot to pay tax. No, his offenses were related to guns and drugs. But in this episode, you’ll hear how he’s used that background to build authenticity and discover why he’s not afraid to tell people about his past because, when presented in the right way, he knows it builds rapport. We discuss Ryan’s pretty non-traditional approach to social media and blogging, and you’ll hear from him how he grew the Hardcore Closer page to over 150,000 fans just by running boosted posts on his own blog posts!

Pascal Culverhouse is the type of guy you pray your competitors aren’t. His company Electric Tobacconist sells e-Cigarettes, which (because it’s tobacco) is a market where paid ads are practically impossible to run. This means that everyone - brands AND retailers - is using SEO as their primary traffic generator. This, combined with the fast growth in the vertical, makes it uber competitive.  Despite this, Electric Tobacconist (with the help of Exposure Ninja) dominate the search results in the UK, in many cases outranking even the e-cigarette brands for their own brand names. Learn how Pascal’s relentless drive, ‘Nightclub SEO’ theory and MONSTER conversion rates have helped him and the ET team grow a business in record time. Oh, and it turns out he’s also pretty handy at cricket. But that’s another show! For show notes, head over to https://exposureninja.com/episode43

This episode is a must-listen if you sell to people who are passionate about your topic OR you run (or are thinking of running) an online membership. Unless you love horses, you have probably never heard of the Parelli Savvy Club, but what Jerome Love and the team at Parelli have been doing over the years is incredible: they’ve built a hybrid online/offline membership site with tens of thousands of members in 72 countries across the World. In this episode, hear Jerome take us behind the scenes to explain how the team has built the club, how they maintain such high member retention rates, and the non-traditional Digital Marketing approach that they take… to their Digital Marketing! What’s as important as the marketing piece here is the passion that Jerome has for the message and the cause that Parelli champions and this passion comes through in everything the brand does.
