Mind control — the moment you read those words, you likely had a negative reaction in the pit of your stomach. But here’s the funny thing about it: If you can control your own mind, you become the hero of your own story and a legacy for thousands of others, but if you try to control someone else’s mind, you are the villain in a hundred stories.The concept of mind control, or controlling what we think about, has been painted in a bad, mad-scientist light. Its counterpart, mindfulness, usually gets all the praise as a trendy buzzword. Don’t get me wrong, mindfulness is great. But…You need to have full control over your own thoughts if you want to have great marketing. Someone with poor control over their thoughts will struggle to make decisions, will lack confidence, and will be easily swayed by what everyone else is doing. They will find it difficult to stay true to their ideal clients’ needs. They will run full force at marketing without a strategy or a reason behind what they are doing. They will burn themselves out.And that’s why, friends, today on The Kate Show we are talking about the 5 mindset shifts you need to make if you want to stop stressing about your marketing and start growing your business instead.This episode is politically incorrect, non-sugarcoated, and might be exactly the kick in the pants you need to become what I’ve always known you could be.

6 Steps to Creating an Effective Marketing Plan for Your Home Industry Business

I never thought I’d be talking about robots and artificial intelligence on this podcast. But, here I go. If you’ve heard of ChatGPT-4 (for the sake of brevity, I’ll just call it ChatGPT going forward), you’ve likely also heard that some businesses are attempting to let this AI create all their marketing content. If you think that sounds amazing (and who wouldn’t?), you might also wonder if it’s too good to be true (a sign that you’re a smart human).Because ChatGPT is still quite new, I decided to interview the bot itself on all things marketing. Primarily, I wanted to know whether it was smart to allow ChatGPT to do time-consuming marketing tasks, such as writing entire blog posts.Secondarily, I was curious. As a techy person, I’ve largely considered technology to be my friend, but ChatGPT had me feeling a little apprehensive - because if a robot could create free marketing content in seconds, would that content even be effective? Was there a right and a wrong way to use AI in marketing?ChatGPT was refreshingly transparent when answering my questions. By the end of the interview, I found myself saying niceties such as “please” and “thank you” and got weird satisfaction from watching it type answers to my questions at a scintillating rate. Here are the results of that interview. Enjoy!

Are you frustrated by a lack of results in your marketing, especially when you feel like you’ve been doing everything right? Or perhaps you don’t know if you’re doing anything right but since you’re trying so many different things, one of them is bound to work…right? Not quite.Today on The Kate Show, I’m breaking down the things that you should be doing to market your business in the home industry, as well as a few reasons why these great marketing strategies might not be working for you and what you can do about it.Additionally, I'm also going to explain the difference between marketing and advertising because thinking those two are synonymous causes a lot of confusion.

Guys, the marketing landscape is shifting. I started to feel it personally in late 2022 when I all but stopped using social media for my business. After that, my own business continued to grow by way of new clients, opportunities, and brand sponsorships all without social media. It felt weird and it was honestly just a test. (In case you're wondering, I now only post an old-fashioned image and caption on Facebook and Instagram once or twice per week.)My test, which I affectionately dubbed "I'm tired of posting," was effective and the results are in: Even though I run a completely online business and have a target client (you!) who regularly uses social media to make buying decisions, it turns out that I don't need social media to grow my revenue. This fact was further verified when I looked at where my leads were coming from: firstly, this podcast; secondly, word-of-mouth (by way of Facebook groups, industry associations, and client referrals).On today's episode of The Kate Show, I'm sharing both the expected — and the shocking — information about email marketing that will directly impact how you get new clients in 2023 and beyond. (I would also like to note that the data I provided in this episode was sent to me personally by a contact at Tidio. They aren't paying me to talk about them, but I want to give them all the credit for putting together comprehensive information about email marketing that is actually EASY to understand. Kudos, Tidio!)

Do you use Linktree in your Instagram bio? While it's popular and seems like a great idea, Linktree is actually taking all the traffic that should be going directly to your website. This is no fault of Linktree; it's just how technology works. Rather than using a third-party tool like this to redirect your social media fans to wherever they need to go, and thus lose the website traffic, you should instead be using a page on your own website for this exact purpose. Today on The Kate Show, I'm showing you exactly how to set up your own version of Linktree and why pit really, really does matter.

5 Reasons You Should Stop Using Linktree if You Want Better SEO

"I need an email sequence, but I'm not sure what it should say." If you've ever thought about this, you aren't alone. Unfortunately, there are many coaches and online course creators who will try to convince you that your home industry business needs a long, complex email sequence in order to generate leads. While this might be true of other industries, it's not an effective strategy for interior design, window treatment, home staging, or organizing businesses.Not only does that advice result in a massive amount of work for you, but it also annoys the heck out of the unfortunate souls on your email list.
