🚫 I need fancy equipment to start producing content 🚫

No. You don't.

πŸ“Ή You don't need a fancy camera or lights to start a youtube channel.
πŸŽ™ You don't need an amazing microphone or studio to start a podcast.
πŸ’» You don't need the best computer to build something amazing.

In fact, I would argue it's the exact opposite.

⬇️ Start small.
πŸ“± Record your video or podcast on your phone.
✏️ Practice making content.
πŸ’₯ Learn what you're passionate about.
πŸ™Œ Provide value.

You can always upgrade the equipment or quality later.

Waiting for the best equipment is really just an excuse. It's a way to procrastinate the creative process.

Don't do it.

Content Marketing & Personal Branding

I've been looking forward to this episode for weeks! It's the perfect intersection of SuccessQuest and JMH Media.

Maeva Cifuentes and I nerd out about culture, language, marketing, and content. It was such a fun conversation!

Thanks for being on the podcast Maeva!

Episode highlights:
πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ͺ Cultural exposure is important! If you can, visit another country or learn another language. It will change the way you see the world.
πŸ’° With PPC ads, you have to pay to get traffic. With content, you don’t.
πŸ’¬ Talk to your customer support and sales departments! They talk to the customer every day and can tell you what pain points they have.
πŸ™Œ Content isn’t about promoting your products. Instead, it’s about solving problems.
‼️ If you do content marketing correctly, it’s not guesswork.
🀝 Good marketing and good sales go hand in hand. If you provide value then sales will be easy.
πŸŽ™ Start a podcast! A podcast is an amazing tool that provides so many benefits. It lets you network with people, and it creates incredible content.
βš™οΈ Create systems in your business and document these systems. This will help you outsource and get help.
πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ’Ό The value of creating a personal brand. Build relationships!

Enjoy!

🀝 Relationships: the key to business growth πŸ“ˆ

πŸ’° Do you want to make more sales?
⬆️ Do you want your business to grow?

Well of course you do! That's likely why you're on a platform like LinkedIn. Let me make it simple for you. Build REAL relationships and the growth will come.

🚫 Don't spam inboxes -

βœ… Find pain points and provide solutions

You'll learn that real connections and real relationships lead to sells... and those sells will lead to testimonials, referrals, and more sells.

You got this!

The Right (and wrong) Way to Sell

πŸ™ Please, please, please!

🚫 Stop sending a sales pitch right after connecting.

I understand that social media networks are great sales tools, but it’s not the right way to do it.

Instead:

🌱 Cultivate relationships.
πŸ’¬ Engage with content.
πŸ’‘ Provide Value.

THEN talk about your services.

πŸ‘‡πŸ» Tell me about the worst LinkedIn sales pitch you’ve received.
