Summary

In today's podcast we're going to talk about defining your target audience, so you can properly target your advertising, pricing and positioning your product. A lot people struggle to figure out pricing and product positioning when they first launch their business. We've found that a lot of the time it's because you haven't properly defined your target audience, and really found the right prospects to go after. In this conversation we help Karen and John really define exactly what they're selling and who they're selling it to, making a pivot from what they originally thought. [Tweet "Your product solves a problem.  It's your job to find the person with that problem."] You will learn How we leveraged SEO to build our audience. Why we would be buying ads from day 1. How to target a great audience on Facebook. How to set pricing for your product. Should you do memberships or one time payments? How to sell to school districts.

KAREN: Okay, this started about ten years ago when I had come out of a position where I was teaching social skills for a year and then I went into teaching a regular classroom and realized that teachers really need to incorporate both social skills training in as many lessons in the classrooms so it's kinda seamless in the way they teach because it has really been my belief that ability may get them to the top, but it takes character to keep them there. So we wanted to train students in character development as well as self-managing skills. SHANE: And what level are you teaching at?
