EP 114:Get Ruthed: Knowing Your Numbers and Increasing Your Conversions with Tamara Harris

Ready to learn about niching down, knowing when to pivot, and increasing your conversion rate? So is my awesome Get Ruthed coaching episode guest Tamara Harris! I’ve known Tamara for a while now, and always love seeing how passionately she applies what she learns.

Tamara is the founder of Design Your Way Home, a website devoted to helping overwhelmed women create a home they love. She’s blogging for a couple years now, but it took her a while to figure out who she was talking to and what she wanted to say. She struggled to find her topic and her avatar, and even had thoughts that home decor wasn’t meaningful enough and that she should focus on what she does for work instead. But as she discovered through a couple of impactful conversations, home decor is exactly what she should be writing about.

And now, I’m thrilled to say that Tamara has nailed her messaging. After rebranding earlier this year, her traffic is starting to take off, and she sees all the potential waiting for her. There’s just one problem: her conversion rates aren’t awesome, which is going to hold her back from achieving all that potential that she sees. 

Dealing with conversions can feel scary and overwhelming. And it can be hard to know the first steps to take to improve! Here’s a sneak preview of an important point that I’ll make throughout the episode, and a great place to start: you can’t improve your numbers if you haven’t measured them. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to know exactly what your numbers are as you start, so you can measure the results of your tests and see what’s helping you improve! And while this episode might sound or feel a little more technical than most, I think it can really help you increase your conversion rate, too.

Tune in to hear some great advice and actionable steps that you can use to start increasing your conversion rate right away. You’ll learn that instead of making multiple lead magnets, you should create a single lead magnet that speaks to your avatar’s biggest pain point, and then make it fantastic. We’ll also talk about how to get enough traffic for accurate split testing, what your opt-in page should look like, and so much more.
