Today’s guest is Erica Glessing, a marketing and search engine optimization expert whose superpower is getting her clients ranked on the first page of Google.
I met Erica in a forum for podcasters and she invited me on her show, and our conversation was so interesting that I wanted to have her come on to Pep Talks for Side Hustlers to share with you guys how she leverages the power of niching, podcast and search to get herself and her clients found online.
Erica and I talk about:
- Erica’s journey to self-employment.
- Why you don't have to be the expert in everything to run a successful business.
- How to do SEO research.
- The strategic reason why Erica started her podcast.
- The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make in their marketing and pricing.
- Her best advice if you are struggling to get visibility in your side hustle.
- The belief Erica had to change about herself to get where she is today.
My favorite quotes from Erica:
- “I made a radical demand that my business would make at least 10,000 a month. And I just said, then what do I have to do to get there?”
- “I reach out to people and say, would you like to be on my summit? Or would you like to be on my podcast? And both of those have grown my businesses.”
- “Try to get outside of yourself to what keeps your client up at night and how you can solve it. And if you do that, then you always have work."
- “If you're expert enough to be doing it, you're expert enough to be interviewed about it.”
