How to Work with Influencers to Sell More of your Product with Dhar Mann - 37 May 07, 2019

Show notes

Dhar Mann bootstrapped his business from just $600 and is on track to do $20 million in 2019.

He went from real estate, to medical marijuana, and is now in the cosmetics industry… and he’s making all of this money without spending one dollar on advertising.

Live Glam started when Dhar met a beauty influencer who was selling out of makeup seminars, so Dhar wanted to get in on it and partner with the influencer.

By working with beauty influencers, Dhar was able to save money and split all commissions 50/50, then going from online class subscriptions to product subscriptions.

In this episode, Dhar will show you how to approach influencers so they work with you on a commission only basis.

The Online Scams, Lies, and Fakers you Believe... Until Now - 36 Apr 30, 2019

Show notes

I’m so annoyed with all the scams, stretched truths, and just straight up bullsh*t so many people believe about getting media exposure.

I touched on this during my talk at the Mom 2.0 Summit in Austin, Texas and wanted to bring it to the podcast because there is a big difference between a journalist, a blogger, an influencer, and a publicist.

Today, too many are using these titles interchangeably while behaving unethically and breaking the law.

There are four big issues I touch on in this episode:

You cannot charge brands or people for coverage in or on an outlet you don’t own or work for in the sales department.
You should not pay for any media coverage.
Take good marketing copy and affiliate promotions with a grain of salt
Do not spend any time or money on press release distribution services

I was prompted to record this episode after hearing way too many stories from people who fell for scams, stretched truths, and straight up bullsh*t because it looked and sounded good.

Hopefully, this episode will help you make wiser decisions moving forward.

Overcoming Scarcity Mindset and Fulfilling your Potential with Dr. Shannon Irvine - 30 Mar 19, 2019

Show notes

Dr. Shannon Irvine takes the woo out of all the mindset talk and makes it scientific, which is what I like.

In this episode, Shannon talks about her personal and professional breakdown moment when she was feeling very overwhelmed and how that led her to focus on her systematic brain.

Your conscious mind is the boss, but we’re on autopilot and the subconscious mind tells us what to believe. Shannon is going to teach us how to get out of autopilot and make the subconscious conscious.
