Flying by the seat of your pants? Content spread everywhere? If you’re lacking a solid content strategy without a value ladder, it’s like taking a journey without a destination in your wellness business. It’s funny how easy it is to get caught up in creating content without considering where you’re leading your ideal client. If your system is more of a “fly by the seat of your pants” approach, I understand because that was me too.
The Risk of Content Creation Without a Value Ladder
When you’re always creating unique content without a clear content strategy, you end up with a lifetime’s worth of content but no clients. Without a value ladder, you’re on a journey with no destination in sight.
What is a Value Ladder? Your Roadmap to Success
Now, this is important. A value ladder is not just a sales funnel. A value ladder is a roadmap to your high-ticket offer. It guides your clients on a journey of growth and transformation, just like coaching them one-on-one. The base of your value ladder is your free content—your blog posts, podcasts, YouTube channel, or free Facebook group.
Connecting the Dots: Value Ladder and Content Strategy
Here’s the interesting part. Your sales funnel and value ladder are connected through your content strategy. But what exactly is a content strategy? It’s the plan that takes your client from initial awareness of your wellness services to becoming a loyal fan who speaks your praises. This strategy typically consists of several stages: awareness, consideration, decision, and loyalty.
How to Use Free Content in Your Content Strategy
Your client's needs and expectations differ at each stage, and your marketing efforts should reflect that. Your free content fits into the awareness stage, where clients become aware of you and your services. It’s essential to have a clear process or system for creating this free content that considers the destination.
Building Trust: The Role of Touchpoints in Your Content Strategy
So, how can a clear content strategy help you avoid the journey without a destination? By creating free content, you’re attracting potential clients and building trust with them. When you provide valuable and informative content, your audience feels that you genuinely want to help them.
In other words, your content system must flow into your free offer. If you’re unsure how to set up your content strategy, consider booking a one-on-one coaching call. We can work on your content strategy together.
The Importance of Multiple Touchpoints in Client Conversion
It’s funny, but do you know how many times an ideal client needs to see your offer before signing up? It’s more than you think. The Online Marketing Institute suggests it can take up to 20 touchpoints to generate a sale from a cold lead. Touchpoints include listening to your podcast, reading your blog, seeing your social media posts, or being on your email list. Your email list is actually the best one.
Creating an Engaging Client Journey with a Value Ladder
Providing valuable content and personalized attention can help build that trust and increase the likelihood they’ll want to work with you one-on-one. Creating a value ladder isn’t just about building a sales funnel; it’s about creating an engaging journey for your future clients.
Designing Your Content Strategy: From Free Content to High-Ticket Offers
Each step of the ladder should provide value to your client and lead them closer to your high-ticket offer. Each step should build a trusting relationship with your ideal client because we buy from people we trust.
Why a Value Ladder is Key to Growing Your Wellness Business
When you align your value ladder with your content strategy, you stay true to who you are as a person. Imagine you’re a coach providing wellness services to help people achieve their goals. Your free content could be your blog or podcast, offering valuable tips and advice on setting and achieving wellness goals. From there, you can offer a low-priced digital product or course that digs deeper into your subject matter.
Moving Up the Ladder: Higher-Priced Offers and Personalized Attention
As your clients move up the value ladder, they encounter higher-priced offers that provide more personalized attention and guidance from you. For example, you can offer one-on-one coaching or a group coaching program. The ultimate goal is your high-ticket offer, like a VIP coaching package that provides the highest value to your ideal client and generates the most revenue.
Focus on Deep Relationships: The Power of a Value Ladder
The reason it generates the most revenue is that it takes the most of your time. A value ladder allows you to go deep with your clients rather than offering a wide range of unrelated services. This strategy is more effective because it allows you to build relationships, understand your clients' needs, and offer tailored solutions.
