#075 - Why I don't regret my drunk Instagram Story (recorded in the south of France) Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever second-guessed a post you shared on Instagram? We all want to show up authentically on Instagram, but when does personal become too personal? Today's episode I go in depth about a situation that got me wondering about what "the line" is.

People always ask me, "What's appropriate to share and what's not?" The answer is, it strongly depends on your brand. In my case, I have a personal brand where I am the name & face of my brand, so it's important for me to build a real relationship with my followers. I don't have to share anything about my personal live, but I do because it will bring me closer to my audience.

Remember real relationships don't come from only showing the "highlight reel". Real relationships come from shared memories and experiences, vulnerability and TRUST.

In this week's episode I share:

why being with childhood friends reminded me of the shame I felt when graduating high school
what it's really like working while traveling
the nitty gritty of what's going on behind-the-scenes of the business, the new hire we just made (woohoo, welcome to the team Stacy)
how I'm prepping for the upcoming launch of Project Storyline!

#074 - Hacking Profitability with Amanda Bond (Online Marketing, DM Conversions, Asking for and Closing the Sale) Aug 12, 2019

Show notes

Over the past few years, I have shifted my focus from growing my following, to converting my followers into clients. And I'm proud to say we've made more money in the last six months than I ever had in any year of my business beforehand.

I look at people who are just getting started and their obsession with followers. Back then, I wish someone had told me, "You've got it all backwards. Let's shine a light on what you *really* need to be focusing on."

That's exactly why we recorded this episode.

Amanda is such an great person to have this conversation with. She's excellent at lead generation and conversational selling.

She has made $40,000 in the Instagram DM's alone.
She's made half a million dollars with only one landing page.
She made $1 million before they even had 5,000 email subscribers.

I wish that eight years ago I could have listened to this episode because it would've been a GAME CHANGER.

It's an inside look into how to hack profitability by knowing how to deliver *exactly* what they need. Because that's what's going to bring you massive profitability.
