EXAMPLE: "Amanda,

If you own a business, market yourself online, or have tried to up your game to the next level, I'll bet you've asked yourself this question at least once:

"What am I supposed to be doing right now?" "What's my next action step?" "What do I need to do to get to the next level?"

EXAMPLE: "Here's how it typically happens. You're scrolling around on Facebook and you see all these industry leaders passing you by, hitting bigger numbers, getting better testimonials, and getting all the PR and opportunities you wanted.

And then as you keep scrolling, you see all these 'coaches' and 'gurus' telling you different things you need to do: email marketing, video marketing, sales funnels, copywriting, podcasting, sponsorships, live events, blogging, list building... the list goes on and one.

Naturally when this happens, you might want to call it a day and just stop thinking about business... it's too confusing, too overwhelming, too hard, and there's just too many options and action steps to take."

EXAMPLE: "Well today, I want to release you of your confusion and re-assure you that it's actually very SIMPLE to figure out exactly what your next steps are in your business.

It all comes down to knowing which stage of business you're in. Find out in our pilot episode (EPISODE 1) of MarketLikeANerd.TV (this is what I was hinting about in yesterday's email):"

EXAMPLE: "Once you've had a chance to watch, I'd love to hear about the clarity it's provided you.

Specifically, I want to know which stage of business you're in and based on the video, what you plan to do to get to the next level."

EXAMPLE: "Here's why this matters.

If you allow the confusion of not knowing what next steps to take in your business to paralyze you from taking any action at all... you will never be able to hit the next level."

EXAMPLE: "So, get the clarity you need to move forward. Once you've watched the video, I'd love to hear YOUR voice in the comments, letting us know how you handle paralysis to keep moving forward. Get on over to the blog and let your nerd shine.

The truth is, most people make marketing so freaking complicated, but it doesn't have to be.

No matter which stage of business you're in, there's only ONE focus step to get to the next level and that's exactly what I'm sharing with you in today's episode.

Hope to see you in the comments."
