• Remember to go back and re-read your brand story first! Look for keywords in it---you can use these later in your social media post and sales page copy! If you don't see keywords in your brand story, edit it a bit using keywords.

• It needs to appear on your homepage, all sales pages, checkout pages, on your courses, and all products, programs, and services you offer
• When folks come to your website, meet you or see your social media posts, they should easily be able to determine: Who you are, What...

The #1 reason people have trouble getting raving fans and increasing sales is that they're trying to "do business" on personal social media accounts.

• Businesses use business accounts on social media.
• Business accounts offer free metrics (a.k.a. Analytics and Insights) that show you exactly who consumes your content, when they consume it, which posts drive the most traffic and much more!
• It's easy to create business accounts or change a personal account to a business account (I detail how in the episode).

You need to provide Calls to Action (CTAs).

• CTAs are opportunities for your audience to connect with you and "get more" of you through things...

In this episode, I detail five strategies you can use to organically grow your online visibility, social media reach, and impact. You don't need ads to grow your business!

Feel free to give me feedback on this or any episode at [email protected].

Organic Reach: You (the content creator) is not putting ad spend behind the content; You aren't paying for more people to be able to see and consume that content. When you post something on social media and that post is not an ad, it is getting organic reach--it is reaching an audience organically. 

Online Visibility: You are getting noticed, you're being remembered, you are top-of-mind in terms of what you do and what you have to offer...and when they're ready to pay for something that you do.

Impact: Having a strong effect on someone or something; Changing people's lives.

Marketing: Speaking to a specific audience (in the way that they can hear) to deliver a specific message for a specific purpose.

In this episode, I detail how terrified I was to start the Business Fabulous podcast. It was the hardest thing I've ever done and I experienced a lot of anxiety, including resistance, ego, failure, and podfading. 

Feel free to give me feedback on this or any episode at [email protected].

Resistance: The refusal to accept or comply with something; the attempt to prevent something by action or argument.

Ego: The part inside of you that "keeps you safe" and keeps you away from harm, fear, and failure.

Podfading: When someone's podcast disappears because they've quit. When a person stops producing episodes for their podcast, they have "podfaded."

• When someone is about to grow personally and/or professionally, they will often experience resistance.
• I experienced many symptoms of resistance in the months before I was able to start my podcast including anxiety, chest pains, sweating, increased periods of being distracted, less ability to focus, and procrastination.
• To...

Today on the podcast, we discuss Outsourcing: Hiring your team, social media managers and more...getting the help you need to grow and scale your business.

"Outsourcing" is allowing other people or agencies to take care of business tasks for you such as a virtual assistant, social media manager, bookkeeping, marketing funnels, etc.

• No one can do everything that needs to be done and efficiently grow and scale her business, because you end up spending a lot of time doing tasks that don't directly earn you money such as creating graphics, posting on social media, and editing podcasts. 
• RESEARCH you needs/wants
• RESEARCH, interview, vet different people that you may want to hire
• Busywork is not a money-making activity
• Courses may not teach you what you need to do tasks well
• Systems are crucial for a well-run business
• The first two episodes of...
