Once upon a time, Brittany Herzberg was an introverted massage therapist just trying not to let her clients hear her tummy rumbling. Now? She’s still introverted, but she's perched behind her MacBook increasing visibility and income for 6-figure entrepreneurs using the most misunderstood organic marketing strategy—SEO! Brittany is known for being loud about the benefits of SEO, giggling, & keeping things basic. (Oh, so basic!)TAKEAWAYS:Social proof is important. Social proof is what people are saying about their experience of working with you. This can be in testimonials, stats, and case studies. Ask yourself these three questions, who do you help, how do you help them, and what do you want to be known for? If you can answer these questions, that's going to help streamline your messaging and you can run all your content through that filter. Utilize SEO. It’s hard to pour out content constantly on social media and for it not to last long or be successful the way we want. People are wanting to learn to opti

I’ve never found the Welcome Sequence in an email funnel effective. I’m not a huge fan because these tend to be all about you as the business owner. I know the intention behind it is to establish you as an expert and deliver value, but I think the way it's presented is fatally flawed.So how do we get our ideal customers to a point where the pitch for your offer makes sense?Listen to the episode to hear why I think Welcome Sequences are dead and what to do instead. TAKEAWAYS:Help your leads have a mindset shift. Think about how you can come to the pain point for your ideal client from a different perspective. When they think differently about their pain point, they act differently. You can still establish yourself as the expert. The focus of a Welcome Sequence is still useful, we just have to get there differently. So make sure that you are actually trying to help someone and that you are super intentional about what you share and how you share it. Establish the know, like, trust factor. If you’ve strategized

I've said it before, and I'll say it again,If your business works for you, it'll work for everyone else.So this week on the 6-Figure Secrets Podcast, I want to dig into establishing routines that actually work for you.When establishing routines you have to be honest with yourself and answer questions like:How you want to live your life?What are your goals?What season of life are you in?One of the most important things when developing a routine that supports you, is getting clear on where you are now and where you want to go.In this episode I wanted to share with you the season of life I am in and what routines I am doing to manage my business and personal life.

I am the master procrastinator.Anybody else?Because I catch myself doing this more often than I like to admit, I landed on this idea of sprints.A sprint is when you go head down and focus on getting one thing done. This can last a week, month, or whatever length of time you need to get that thing done.In this episode I want to dig into sprints and how this could potentially benefit you and your productivity and avoid putting things on the back burner. TAKEAWAYS:Identify the thing you have been putting on the back burner. If it’s something that needs to be done but you don’t want to, outsource it. If you are not able or want to outsource it, you will have to find and make the time to make it happen. What needs to happen to make it happen? What do you need to have in place? What do you need to know? What do you need to create? Ask yourself these questions. For most people it comes down to their time. So what do you need to sacrifice to get the thing done?Identify your why. Why are you doing this thing and why i

I made a goal in my business that by the end of 2024 I would grow my email list to 10,000 subscribers. Instead, I reached this goal in 8 months!Early in 2024 I realized that the tipping point in my business was my email list size. That if my email list grow, my sales would increase. So I made my only goal in 2024 to grow my email list. In this week's podcast episode I'm sharing how I accomplished this goal, what I had to do to make it happen, and the shift I realized as I was working towards this goal. TAKEAWAYS:Find a proven system that works. Two things that I know have worked to grow my email list Meta Ads and collaborations. So instead of trying something new, I decided to expand on what's already working.  Keep the main thing, the main thing. Once you find your system that’s working, the question becomes how can I change it, maybe even just slightly, to reach my goals and get more results. Sometimes business is nothing more than a numbers game. When I realized this, it made things so much more simple. RE

We all have a love-hate relationship with our phones, especially if you have a business.There is so much noise about screen addiction, how our phones are causing our attention spans to decrease, and the harm it causes to our brains.And while this may be true, I think that our phones can be amazing devices to support us, and that if we set our phones up in the right way, we can change the story we have around our phones and how we are connected to them.In this episode, I want to share with you some strategies I've implemented to switch my perspective to my phone is a "necessary evil" to a device that supports me and my goals. TAKEAWAYS:Sending text messages when you get a sale. I love getting texts that come through that I have made a sale when I’m not working. For my life and my brand, this is awesome and a huge motivator. Your business should sell for you while you’re living your life and getting these text messages reiterate what is possible. Knowing our limits with our devices. You can set limits on your p

She's also a mom of 3 boys and lives with her family in beautiful Bend, OR.TAKEAWAYS:How do you know if you are a good communicator? Notice if people are talking back to you. When you are recording videos and asking people to take action, are they actually doing what you tell them to do? If no one is downloading your freebie or taking action, your communication skills are not effective. You might be fun or entertaining, but if you can’t get a person to take action, your communication might not be effective. Become a better communicator by instituting a daily ramble. Simply ask yourself questions people might ask you and figure out how you can best get to your response. When you practice and know your topics and ideas, you will ram
