You’re looking honestly at what didn’t work in your past? Personal Coach
DEFINITION: Giggers – those who have started their own Gig to live the New Gig Economy Lifestyle.
The other day my client Jeff, said to me, “Warren, I tried and tried using social media to market my Gig business in the past but it didn’t work well. Now working with you as my mentor, I’m getting great results. What made the difference?” Please let me share what Jeff learned in a minute.
With my personal coach and mentor clients, and in classes where I teach a How to Become a Life Coach Certification course, we learn to look honestly at the past.

Giggers, who think they know everything are often not seeing the obvious. As The New Rich are effective Entrepreneurs, learned to recognized when they are not seeing the obvious for experiencing optimal lifestyles.
Today we are aligning our Skill #7: Seeing Your Blind Spots with Gig Business Success Step-1: Use low cost digital marketing.
The 5 Steps so you can build your Gig business to the next level and experience your optimal income.
| Step-1: Use inexpensive digital marketing. | (Yes, for local small businesses, you can “set it and forget it” to get your BIG DATA too.) |
| Step-2: Know your CLAN and build them up. | (Get to KNOW THEM WELL.) |
| Step-3: Automate and outsource to streamline processes to reduce wasted activity and space. | (Think Disney or McDonald’s.) |
| Step-4: Scale your business globally. | (E.g. A local bakery can sell an online eBook with recipes and Ideas for Entertaining.) |
| Step-5: Enjoy your Gig business optimal freedom lifestyle. | (Your goal is a 4-Hour Work Week.) |
Back when I taught marketing in University, social media wasn’t much of a focus. This was partly because the professors, etc. who wrote the marketing textbooks didn’t know much about social media.
Being a business trainer for 15 years before that, I knew the real business world was quite different from textbook content. Times have not changed much until now. Yesterday, I was watching videos on automating chatbots and they most all contained narrated slide decks.
As learning is difficult for someone with ADD tendencies like me, I struggle with poor instruction and training materials. That’s one of the reasons I have struggled all my life to know as much as possible about learning. Eventually, I earned my Doctor in Adult Education, so I could help others like me learn and develop.
Let me get back to my client, Jeff’s example. Like most Gig business owners, Jeff tried something in the past and gave up when it didn’t work.
With Jeff and many other Giggers, they created content for different media as if the audiences were the same. You see, full time digital marketing pros know the differences, but Giggers like you and me – not so well.
The challenge is to learn which social media is best the digital marketing tool for you specific Gig. To clarify, I want to share this quick little Social Media guide from my friends at CoSchedule.com.

A while back during a mentoring consultation, my prospect asked if I could include this information in my free eBook. I told him to find it on the internet all by himself so he could do his own digital marketing.
I reminded him when he wanted to learn real changes to improve his business he needs to hire a mentor. Often when we do it ourselves we waste time and it’s difficult to honestly learn from past mistakes. But with a coach or mentor learning is easier and keeps us on the right path.
As long as you learn from your mistakes and don’t make them over and over again, you’re on the right path. Kim Kardashian
Keep on learning!

Seeing Your Blind Spots. Exercise #13:
As a Gigger in the global Gig economy, how can you honestly retry a social media marketing tool that has not worked in the past to take your next step for your new Gig, or to raise your Gig to the next level?
Look at these examples where Giggers say they retried a social media marketing tool to add value to their clan to feel confident and build their Gig business and support their customer clans.
- I’ve now focused on my baby boomer customer clan to feel more connected with Facebook
- My mentor helped me see how Instagram was a better tool for my millennial customer clan
- I hired a mentor who told me how LinkedIn was the best digital marketing tool to build my B2B customer clan
Write 3 Gigger areas where you can see you could retry a social media marketing tool to add value to your clan and tell yourself how you improved to feel stronger to develop your Gig and your optimal lifestyle.

Look at your list and attack 1 (only one at a time but do try a new one every month) idea to apply this week:
- Write the area where you could honestly retry a tool.
- List steps you see you to list steps to learn the best way to retry your tool.
- Give yourself a metric to measure progress. (e.g. I will add questionnaires to my automated emails.)
- Reward yourself after you have completed your steps.
Debrief: The point here is to get over your own “NO, I can’t,” response and develop yourself so you can have your business success and your optimal lifestyle.
If you are looking at this exercise and saying, “this feels awkward,” that is good. The important part is you will get used to it, as your life, family, and business depend on it.

Engagement background of Optimal Engagement Lifestyle
As a trainer and university lecturer in the USA, I had great success in my coaching, training, and classrooms by engaging my learners in ways I had learned from my Dale Carnegie Instructor Training. (optimal engagement)
After earning my Doctoral Degree researching engaging instruction in adult education and training and development, I started a training business in Hong Kong.
But something was wrong, I was struggling in this new culture (I’m a cattle rancher’s son from Colorado, USA) to find ways to inspire and motivate my coachees and students in Hong Kong.
With my coachees and in the classroom, I preferred having clients engage in learning activities instead of just talking. This is especially effective to keep clients engaged between coaching calls.
I struggled through trying several paper worksheets and workbooks to guide students, but I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. (junk engagement)
When the smart phone with the ability to search the internet came along, I could see my clients were curating (i.e. searching, finding, collecting, commenting, changing, remixing, and sharing.)
I thought, “Why not do that for learning?”, so I started asking them to answer questions, interact with information and colleagues, and go find examples of the learning content using their mobile devices.
eWorkbook development and success
I began searching for possibilities and I struggled testing several apps, until we created best practices using eWorkbooks, and after testing them, began to use eWorkbooks as my clients always had their devices with them.
Then we used eWorkbooks (Google Forms with the training slides as well as interactive questions, curating links and tasks, example images and videos, etc.) This became powerful for my coaching clients as they were able to share ideas and get the benefits of social learning even though they were not in the training course or classroom.
My clients [Engaging Screenagers] completed eWorkbooks using their mobile devices as they were learning interactively while, at the same time, they were developing habits of learning with their devices (optimal engagement) instead of killing time with them. (junk engagement)
Students used eWorkbooks to while I lead the discussion and guided them, and after they submitted their answers, they would get their responses sent to their inbox so they could review their learning Moments of Growth. (optimal engagement)
Because the students’ responses from eWorkbooks go right into a spreadsheet in real-time, as the teacher I can monitor what students are doing to give them guidance in the moment, as well as track their learning develop over time.
Since those early days, I’ve had great luck supporting my coaching clients and entrepreneur friends use Google forms for 360° reviews for evaluations as well as use eBrochures and eMenus to test new ideas and actively engage and actively interact with customers.
All client info has been scrubbed of identifying information unless they have given me specific, written permission to quote them.
