A good old-fashioned deep dive into the tools and strategies to use in online marketing is all good and well, but sometimes, the end goal goes unmentioned: improving sales and making your business successful. Perhaps it’s a little too brutally honest to be talked about that often, but it’s important to remember what you’re striving to achieve with your online marketing. That’s why when you see a business soaring to success and making some major profit with the help of marketing strategies, it’s time to sit up and take notice. We found one such success story and just had to get the inside scoop. We’re talking to Luke Hughes of Origym in this episode of the Exposure Ninja Digital Marketing Podcast. Luke’s the Managing Director of this personal training business which has stormed through the field to become a market leader, less than two years into its existence. The business aims to undercut the plethora of premium-rate personal trainer brands around today, whilst maintaining the quality expected from customers

Once unattainable or a luxury in most industries, apps are pretty much commonplace in today’s online world. Every major brand and company you can think of will have its own app. Sooner rather than later, we’ll reach the point where if your business does not have some sort of app, you’ll be behind the curve. But, just like all other avenues of your business, an app needs to be presented and promoted well to succeed. A poor-quality app that’s difficult to navigate or isn’t functional will flop, potentially creating a negative perception around your entire business. Promotion, meanwhile, is even trickier, with a very limited amount of avenues through which to generate awareness – let alone interest – around a fresh app. We’re chatting once again to Moran Pober in this digital marketing podcast episode, who has plenty of experience when it comes to owning a successful app. Moran founded iTips: an app that has featured in the top 100 in the app stores of some of the biggest markets on the globe, including the UK,

At a glance, the journey of a business towards success can seem like a pretty set-in-stone path, regardless of your industry. Build a client base, sell more and more products, increase your hires and expand the company – that’s the framework you’ll often find in a business, but that doesn’t mean it should be the one that you follow. Instead of battling against competitors using that standard process, what if you could acquire those competitors – or other business that possess synergy with yours – and expand that way? Sure, it’s bound to be quite an expense during your company’s formative years. But, if you pick the right businesses and negotiate well, it’s an investment that could give you some serious pulling power. In this episode of the Exposure Ninja Digital Marketing Podcast, we talk to Moran Pober: the founder of ABD Assets. ABD is independent firm that specialises in business transactions, working with companies with huge upsides and assisting them with their goals. There’s no better person than Moran,

From handing out flyers in a local park for proof of concept, to a consumer base of thousands of satisfied return users – all in just over 24 months. Sounds like the sort of business success story you’d want to learn more about, right? Mark Hughes is the co-founder of the Tutora and our latest guest on the Exposure Ninja Digital Marketing Podcast. Hughes has played an integral role (alongside fellow co-founder Scott Woodley) in Tutora defying the odds and flourishing as a business, less than three years since its inception. Not only that, but Mark and the team have achieved this in a relatively crowded market, populated by established names with considerable financial backing. This success was achieved via a somewhat untraditional form of investment, too: crowdfunding. And all this has been carried out with a ‘chicken and egg’ business model, which many have tried and failed to, shall we say, crack. The company connects students and tutors in all manner of different contacts – from academic studies to piano l

With so many tactics, tips, tricks and tools involved in digital marketing, no-one would blame you for losing sight of what it’s all in the name of: generating more leads and making sales. Whatever path you go down on your online marketing journey, every step you take should be in the name of encouraging users to invest in your service, product, company or business. Perhaps there’s no greater example of this than with calls to action. A small, yet significant and emphasised feature on your web pages, a call to action is a crystallisation of everything you’re trying to achieve with your website and online activity. Whether it’s just a handful of words, a contact form, or a redirection to further down the conversion funnel, your aim with a CTA is to gently guide interested onlookers into becoming fully-fledged customers. In this podcast episode, our very own Lozz Newton chats to Head Ninja Tim Kitchen about crafting the perfect CTA. Outlining your main goal, avoiding classic conversion blockers and keeping thin

We love chatting to the head honchos of similarly progressive, ambitious companies to see what tactics they’re utilising to push the business forward. Hearing from successful, modern businesses about how they use online marketing to prosper always provides us with plenty of insight and tips that we can all tweak and use in our own way. And trust us: there aren’t many more projects right now that are moving along more rapidly than Doctify. Featured in national newspapers and international news outlets like Sky and CNBC, Doctify has digitalised and simplified the process of searching for and booking medical specialists. This young team of doctors and online experts only started up in 2015, but have already emerged as a major player in their market, with some insane SEO statistics boosting online visibility. Doctify’s CMO, Adam Beainy, has been a large part of that success, and we chat to him in this podcast episode. Adam talks us through the wide-scale tasks he’s been heading at the company to make them an

The wonderful world of content marketing may well be an online-focused industry, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t space for some face-to-face interaction.   It’s very clear that events such as these can produce leads, brand exposure and some incredible results. Hosting your own digital marketing event takes it to the next level, with people attending purely to see you and your company in action. You create a more personal connection with those in attendance and can turn fleeting visitors into fully-fledged members and supporters of your brand. But, for it to be a success, you need bums on seats – and a way to spread the word to interested parties about the event. Sounds like a pretty expensive advertising job, right? Well… In this podcast episode, we chat to someone who defied this logic. Chris Marr is the founder of Content Marketing Academy, along with its popular annual live event CMA Live. The event brings CMA’s members together, offering them some invaluable advice and insight, along with the chanc

If you’re an expert in something, there are people out there that will pay for your expertise. No matter the topic, no matter the niche, there is a market for you to work with and use as a source of income. Perhaps your business has a range of skills and processes that you’ve acquired and refined through practice over the years. Maybe you’re just an ambitious entrepreneur, immersing yourself in knowledge of a particular field so you can pass it on to others. Whatever your situation, it’s worth staying aware of all the knowledge you’ve gathered, so you can try to monetise all the time and effort you spent gaining that insight. In this episode, we chat to someone who has made use of her incredible depth of knowledge and successfully productised it in many ways. Laura Phillips is a digital marketing coach and success mentor, guiding individuals and businesses alike towards success. Laura has scratched and clawed her way to the top by constantly acquiring new skills and taking on key information with regards to w

The importance of copy on your website simply cannot be underestimated. Like all other aspects of making your business website easily visible and high-converting, spot-on web copy has benefits for both search engines and the web user. Whilst targeted keywords and high word counts lay the groundworks for Google to treat your website pages kindly, it’s how you then present that text that can be the determining factor between a confused, put-off viewer, and an engaged, satisfied customer. In this episode of the Exposure Ninja Digital Marketing Podcast, we chat to our very own Head of Editorial, Chris Groves. Chris is responsible for editing and proofreading each and every piece of content our Ninjas write for clients – from blog posts and outreach articles, to web copy and metadata. With an array of customers to keep in mind, Chris not only checks for grammatical and SEO accuracy, but also ensures the copy is targeted towards a specific audience and has every chance of keeping people on the page.

Heard about the Skyscraper technique in online marketing but never tried it out? Had a go at using it but didn’t get results? Then this episode of the Exposure Ninja Digital Marketing Podcast is for you! Listen to our chat with Paul Kortman of nomadtogether.com on how this relatively new approach to link building can be pulled off effectively to benefit your website’s visibility. In essence, the Skyscraper technique begins with identifying a blog post or web page that’s both relevant to your audience and has been linked to by many authoritative websites. The idea is to then see a weakness in the post and write your own, on your business’ website and/or blog. Then, contact the websites that linked to the original post and aim to convince them to link to yours – or, even better, get them to switch their link from the old post to yours! With links, it’s about quantity as well as quality. To get a high amount of authoritative website linking to content on your website, you need to give them a reason to do so. The

Presentation is something that is more prevalent in online marketing than you might assume. Whether you’re presenting a product, an aspect of your company, or the business as a whole, getting your point across successfully and in the right way is a key factor in successful customer engagement. Voice coaches know exactly what it takes to inspire people through the spoken word, so in this podcast episode, we chat to one of the best. Andrew Bennett from Toastmasters, a vocal performer and President of Berkley Square Speakers, talks about the importance of conveying trust and clarity of message in your voice. Andrew explains how the likes of mumbling or a monotonous tone can damage your intentions, and encourages us to embrace impromptu speaking, rather than fear it. Speak in a way that oozes authority and demands respect (while remaining respectful yourself) in the likes of audio interviews and webinars, and your brand will appear authoritative as a result. What’s more, if you’re engaging with your public speaki

Like so many other areas of SEO and content marketing, anchor text is all about relevance to your brand and value to your audience. When done right, anchor text plays a major role in the online visibility of your website, meaning you risk being behind plenty of competitors if you don’t utilise it. However, going in all guns blazing without knowing your stuff could prove ineffective or even costly for your business, as search engines view your scattergun approach as spammy and hit you with a penalty. We’re always telling you how awesome our Ninjas are here at Exposure Ninja, but don’t just take our word for it. To break down the rules and importance of anchor text, we couldn’t think of anyone more qualified to chat to than Andy Tuxford – one of our resident SEO experts. Andy tells us how the days of keyword stuffing and Google-bombing are over thanks to updates and smarter algorithms, creating a more difficult, but fairer platform for all SEO strategies to compete. He outlines the seven types of anchor text yo

Success stories. As an entrepreneur or small business owner looking to carve your own path to prominence, success stories are something you should be paying VERY close attention to. They’re not unattainable, irrelevant tales, and they’re certainly not just another business bragging about its big numbers and rise to fame and fortune. They’re paths to success that always, without fail, hold some kind of strategy, tip, or piece of information that you can bring into your own approach to guiding your projects. On this episode of the Exposure Ninja Digital Marketing Podcast, we go under the hood of an awesome modern success story. Co-founder and Chief Brand Officer of voices.com, Stephanie Ciccarelli, was kind enough to chat with us about the rapid progress of her business. Voices.com is a platform for companies and voiceover artists from over 130 countries to find each other and work together on projects. Stephanie spoke to us just days after a global leader in investment banking, Morgan Stanley, chose to invest

  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.

In this episode, Rob Greenlee from podcast platform Spreaker shares his insights on where podcast advertising is at now, and where it’s headed. Rob has been in podcasting since before it was a ‘thing’ and has seen it mushroom in popularity over the last few years. The ways that businesses use it to advertise has also changed, so hear Rob give his recommendations on the advertising methods that are proving most effective, how to find the best shows to advertise with, and what sort of results you should expect.

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

Heard of Influencer Marketing but not sure how to get started? Have you looked longingly at those Instagrammers, YouTubers or other social media influencers and wondered how you could get them talking about YOUR business? In this episode, Tim is joined by one of Exposure Ninja’s influencer marketing experts, Stacey Overton. They discuss how to get started with Influencer Marketing and walk you step-by-step through the process of reaching out to the influencers you need, and capitalising on the visibility that’s generated. Stacey takes us behind the scenes of an influencer campaign in action and explains what to expect, what to offer and how to get the best results with the minimum time and money invested.
