9:08

In this episode, I’m sharing a little more about myself and why I do what I do. You see, I started my first social media company about 13 years ago.

I asked on social media what questions people had that I could cover in my podcast, and I got some really great responses.

If you’ve been listening to this podcast for the last month, you may have noticed – I mean, how could you not – that something is going on with my voice. I do have an answer – it’s a paralyzed vocal chord and unfortunately, it’s going to be like this for a while. It would totally be the perfect reason to take a break from recording the podcast, but…

7:47

In this episode, I’m talking about the connection between Social Media and Google and why it matters. Just to be clear, this is not about what you should or shouldn't do, even though that might come out a bit in what I share.

EP 25: Commenting Creates Community 6:40

1+ y ago6:40

6:40

--I get it. It's so much easier to scroll and ‘Like.’ But, ‘Like’ never started a conversation, or continued one - or had any impact on building community. Marketing is about creating that two-way communication that helps build relationships. Commenting is a baby step to building community. Does it take a little more effort? Sure. Is it worth it? A…

Is your social media working for you? How do you even know - especially when you’re posting in all the places? The best place to start is by checking to see if your social media isn’t working because there are a lot better cues for being able to measure that. I gave 3 very obvious ones in this episode. So then, how do you know if it is working? Thi…

If you have been in business for any length of time, you have heard, likely ad nauseam, how important stories are for your business. And I agree 100%.

One of the conversations I've been having with a lot of people lately is about social media and the fact that they don't keep raising the bar when it comes to the activities you need to complete to get gold stars from the algorithm, but what really happens is that each platform just keeps moving the freaking bar! It used to be, on Instagram, that y…

Community is a theme you are going to see throughout these podcasts in the coming months. Why? Because I don’t think any of us is meant to go on this journey of life or business on our own.

What if you looked at all of your marketing as an experiment? After all, there is really no such thing as a perfect anything. There's no perfect post on social media.
