PSA 3 – I re-recorded this because I realized that I default to a tendency to educate/explain vs. activate/attract and engage. It is an important lesson for me to remember. Also ruminating on your feedback to turn the heat up; e.g., is there a more ‘appropriate’ way to do this on Linkedin vs. FB? (Never got a Twitter account — sounds to me like a…Read More

Good job on lessening the educate/explain and pivoting more toward activate/attract/engage. You are great on video. I looked at the whole post on LI – there are so many calls to action in the text I actually didnt’ know what to do. When you look back at that post, can you see it now that I have mentioned it? If you were to post this video again -…Read More

Thanks, Shannon. Now I see I may have several CTAs in this piece: take this quiz, answer this question, and the ASK to contact me for a 15 minute talk. That last CTA should be the ONE to focus on, YES? Maybe include the others in future posts? Thanks.

Hi Nancy! Sorry for my late reply here. I watched both the takes, the one on YouTube and Linked In. Great job!! The copy is nice and tight, and I feel like it will resonate with your target audience. When I watched the youtube video, I sped it up to 1.25, and felt like that helped the flow and increased the “pep”, but of course the pauses…Read More

Hi Nancy, Sorry for my late reply as well. You are getting better, and I’m going to echo Jessica’s thoughts on some of the pacing. And there are really brilliant places in this video like “the Kick-Ass Lotus Blossom Club” and when you talk about your client & your father hanging up the phone These are wonderful examples of where your tonality &…Read More

Hi Nancy, thanks for your most recent comments on my PSA. Watching and reading your latest. I think this is very well done. There are a few places where I might edit or switch statement vs. question or the other way around. I think you are getting more relaxed, more natural, and there was a wider emotional range in your voice in this video. Ray…Read More

Thanks, Joel; good food for thought. My goal is to BOTH start building an audience of leads and prospects within my target profile of women and Asian women leaders. It sounds like a good next step for me may be to record a couple of different versions with a range of tones, strong to neutral, and ask my current and past clients for their…Read More

Hey Nancy! What feedback are you looking for specifically? Can you ask a couple of questions to guide us as we watch? That will be super helpful.

Kerstin! I love what you do, and so well explained. I can relate: my husband is French, and his entire family is only French-speaking, so I was pretty motivated to learn the language!! I have done some of the apps and youtube channels and also some in-person courses. I can relate to the absolute frustration of trying to wrap my brain around…Read More

Thank you, JessicaPetter. It is so frustrating to see how many people try it alone and struggle until they abandon learning the language.

Kerstin this is great. Your paragraphs are really, clear, clean and compelling for each idea. I would consider sub-headers for some of the them. Intention; Commitment; Discipline; Communication. You might move your story up, and consider a client story. The only part that really threw me off is your title. The title felt entirely counter-intuitive…Read More

…love your passion, it comes through here! Might it have more impact if you present your core argument point up front, like ” learning a language through fun, live interaction is way/infinitely/10X more effective than an online app”. And here’s why. I’d like to hear more about YOUR process up front; a bolder title would also convey your passion!

Thank you, NancyChen for the suggestions. I am still not happy with the title but will nevertheless use it for a FB live. Do you have any suggestion for the title?
