• 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.
• Your brand story will be repeated, in some way, again and again for the life of your business.
• 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...

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

Noe: This week on the Business Fabulous Podcast, we explain how to create a brand story that will increase your online visibility and grow your business.

In this episode, you will learn what a brand story is and how to create one. We discuss:

• What is a brand story?
• Is there one specific way to create a brand story?
• What do I need to include in my brand story?
• Is my brand story only used to attract new clients?
• Why do people buy from you?
• Should my brand story be a certain length?

This week's CHALLENGE: Create your own brand story and email it to me at [email protected].  I'd love to read it and will even provide some help if you'd like. Your brand story is something you'll tell over and over in your business and it's really important for it to be clear.

This week on the Business Fabulous Podcast, I answered one of my most often asked questions: Where should you be hanging out online? In other words, which social media platforms should you be spending most of your time on?

In this episode, you will learn more about your audience, Google Analytics, social media insights, and your sales as well as:

• What the "best" platform is to grow your business.
• How you determine where you should be online.
• How you can determine who is actually following you online and where.
• Where people are finding you online.
• When your audience is online.
• How you can determine who your audience is without having a website.
• Who you should target through social media, blog posts, ads, etc.

At the end of the episode, I challenge you to look at your insights/analytics and tell me what you learned about your audience, who they are, and where they're hanging out online. I'd love to learn about your audience! Email me what you learned at [email protected].

What is social media engagement? What does it mean, how in the world do you get it and how do you increase the amount you have now?

Social media engagement means that people are “talking” to you in some way on social media platforms. This can take the form of likes, comments, shares, retweets, emojis, actually hopping on someone’s livestream, etc. It’s a way for folks to acknowledge that they see/hear you, they like your message, they're reading your blog post, and they support (or don’t support depending on the comment) you. In short, it means that you’re visible to them and you are becoming top of mind!

How do you increase your engagement on social media?

If you don't have many people talking to you and thinking of YOU when they think of your industry, then you’re really not being remembered…you’re simply invisible online!

Online Dating really is social media taken to a whole new level.

I began online dating four months ago and it occurred to me early on how similar the process was to the way businesses market their goods and services through social media.

Maybe you only have a LinkedIn profile, or you're a member of a few Facebook groups, perhaps you have a Twitter account, or you might even create a couple of Facebook ads each year to grow your business or "all of the above and much more..." you are using social media to grow your brand and your business.

Online dating is the same process!

Step One: Create your brand identity.

You must make yourself stand out amongst all of the other businesses, brands, DATING PROSPECTS. How will you do that? You'll describe your goods and services (or appearance and personality traits) in ways that appeal to and resonate with potential buyers. You'll appeal to their senses. You'll let your potential buyers know that you and your business are the ones to...

You may have heard a lot about livestreaming (broadcasting live) in the past few months, and with good reason. Livestreaming is the fastest-growing medium out there right now and people from all over the world are connecting 24/7 on these interactive, real-time social media platforms both personally and professionally in meaningful ways. Although I’m also active on more traditional social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, my business has been built off livestreaming, specifically Periscope, Blab and MeVee.
