π« I need fancy equipment to start producing content π«
No. You don't.
πΉ You don't need a fancy camera or lights to start a youtube channel.
π You don't need an amazing microphone or studio to start a podcast.
π» You don't need the best computer to build something amazing.
In fact, I would argue it's the exact opposite.
β¬οΈ Start small.
π± Record your video or podcast on your phone.
βοΈ Practice making content.
π₯ Learn what you're passionate about.
π 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.

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:
π΅πͺ Cultural exposure is important! If you can, visit another country or learn another language. It will change the way you see the world.
π° With PPC ads, you have to pay to get traffic. With content, you donβt.
π¬ Talk to your customer support and sales departments! They talk to the customer every day and can tell you what pain points they have.
π Content isnβt about promoting your products. Instead, itβs about solving problems.
βΌοΈ If you do content marketing correctly, itβs not guesswork.
π€ Good marketing and good sales go hand in hand. If you provide value then sales will be easy.
π 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.
βοΈ Create systems in your business and document these systems. This will help you outsource and get help.
π¨πΌβπΌ The value of creating a personal brand. Build relationships!
Enjoy!

π« Stop sending a sales pitch right after connecting.
I understand that social media networks are great sales tools, but itβs not the right way to do it.
Instead:
π± Cultivate relationships.
π¬ Engage with content.
π‘ Provide Value.
THEN talk about your services.
ππ» Tell me about the worst LinkedIn sales pitch youβve received.
