Before you start creating your brand and online presence, it\u2019s worth answering a few questions for yourself. Let me clarify that I am not a marketer. I won\u2019t be showing you marketing trends but rather my approach, based on my work. I aim to use minimal jargon. You won\u2019t read about \u201ccompetitor analysis\u201d here, as that would be more important if you were selling similar products like TVs or computer parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that’s not your case! You are unique!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It doesn’t matter how many others are in your field because you\u2019re not just selling services; you\u2019re making visible the values you work by and making yourself accessible to those who need you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you are present in this way, the result (not the goal) is that people will seek you out and pay for your programs, consultations, massages, or courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don’t have to compete with other helpers. It’s enough to stop hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These steps are based on how I take a brief. A brief is a short, concise summary of the job details and what my client wants. The basis of the brief is a conversation. During the first conversation, I aim to explore not just what my potential client wants but also the values they hold. While we think together, I continuously pay attention and note down everything important. I particularly focus on the sentences where strength, passion, and deep belief appear. I usually take several pages of notes during the first conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a notebook and pen, and answer the questions. Write down everything that comes to mind without filtering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reflect on how you and your calling met. What led you to it? Why is this important to you? Simply think through your story. Write down everything! Whether in bullet points, short sentences, images, or sensations\u2014however it comes out. If you like to think out loud, you can even record your answers on your phone and then note down the key concepts, underlining your stronger statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re already working in your field, review who you\u2019ve worked with so far. Who were your ideal clients? What commonalities do they share? Write down everything that comes to mind without filtering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re just starting, close your eyes and imagine your ideal client. What age group do they belong to? What are their characteristics? What problems or difficulties are they facing? What do you and they have in common?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What can help your ideal client who comes to you? What might they need? What can you offer them? How have you helped them so far? How are you present when you work together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milyen eszk\u00f6zt\u00e1rral dolgozol? Mi\u00e9rt pont ezeket v\u00e1lasztottad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your strengths as a helper? What approach has developed in you through your personal growth? What is your unique perspective? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know answering these questions isn\u2019t easy, so give yourself time, and perhaps in a relaxed state, observe what emerges in you in response to the questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What colors do you like? Is there a symbol you identify with? What might your ideal client identify with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a misconception that a good brand reflects you and that good online presence is about you. It isn\u2019t. A good brand is like a gentle (or firm) touch. Your website\u2014this might sound strange\u2014should primarily not be about showcasing you or even your services. It is made to build a bridge between you and your ideal client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trust requires your face, your gaze. You are essential to it. Just as you do not trust written texts and expressed thoughts, tools, and techniques alone, neither does your prospective client. We trust the person behind the words and tools who is present and touches us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quality images are important. It\u2019s worth investing time and some money in having a few (the more, the better) really good pictures of you that give an accurate (literally) picture of who you are. It\u2019s beneficial to take some photos outdoors, against a neutral background, leaving enough space for cropping, and to capture a few mood shots of you at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Touch can be a supportive kind word, the awakening of hope, the power of empathy, or a personal example\u2014which is not the same as self-promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first touch is the content and appearance of your homepage. The touch is the first impression a visitor gets when they land on your website or social media page. Since your online presence is the bridge, it\u2019s beneficial if the key theme that likely led your ideal client to your site is immediately recognizable. Therefore, the touch should be about them, not about you. At the same time, boldly place your face next to it, so they immediately see who they are connecting with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Write the content of your website as if you are conversing with your ideal client, addressing the topics that matter to them through your unique perspective. It\u2019s not advisable to post a one-page, official description of your services, as your prospective client is the least interested in that. Of course, you can write about your tools, but do it in your own words, with faith, love, and passion\u2014and in light of how you effectively help solve your client\u2019s problem with a particular tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The primary concern isn\u2019t what tool you use, but whether your visitor realizes you are the person who can help solve their problem. They are not looking for a tool but a genuine connection with someone who can likely help them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is true even if someone specifically searches for a yoga instructor (or masseur, coach, etc.). When your visitor wants to solve something through yoga (or massage, coaching, etc.), they still decide based on whether a bridge starts to form between you. Keep the pillars in mind: Trust, Touch, Communication Style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you will find the above useful, and if you are barely or not at all visible yet, you will soon be! You know very well\u2014because you see it around you\u2014how much you are needed and all that you can give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
