I'm sure by now you have heard about the generous organic reach happening on the TikTok platform and how some people are experiencing viral growth. However, that isn't happening for everybody!

I decided to double down on TikTok at the start of February and cracked the 10k following mark before we finished March. This episode dives into what I did to grow my following and engagement on TikTok with predominantly business-related content. 

I also give a comparison of my growth on TikTok vs Instagram for the same period. My hope is that you can take some of the strategies and observations and make them work for your business as well.

In the Caribbean, our business owners love to entice with their amazing products and services, only to then hit you with the DM for price.

Listen, in 2022...The last thing any customer or potential client wants to do is to DM you for a price.

There is no excuse anymore. We don't DM for prices on Amazon, nor do we DM for prices on Freelance platforms when we are looking to hire professional services. 

We dive into this topic more in this episode.

In 2022, I am hoping that more and more of the population is equipped to determine who are the coaches and people they should be investing their money and time with to help them grow their own businesses.

It's hard for people to determine who can actually help you just by looking at their social media and many of the Business/Marketing/Social Media coach out here talk a good game. So in this episode, I am giving you 7 ways to check whether or not these coaches are worth investing in or even following on social media.

Following this guide will help you save your money from a bad investment, wasting your time or even allowing these people to take up precious space on your social media feeds.

Even though the pandemic is fading and the world is starting to open back up, consumer habits have changed. They still want the convenience of being able to order from your website and have your products delivered to their addresses or book their appointments online.

That being said, 1 of the questions I got this week from a small business owner was "What is the cheapest way to do E-Commerce in the Caribbean?"

I break down the popular platforms like Wix, Shopify, Squarespace and WordPress, their fees and how to get paid on them.

The 2 hosting companies mentioned in this episode are Siteground and Overmill.

We have seen more and more companies looking for digital marketers and E-Commerce specialists in the Caribbean in their push to go digital.

However, when we go through the job descriptions, we are seeing their role 8 roles into 1 and are trying to pay people next to nothing. We have seen companies like J&K Signature and Excellent Stores engage in these practices but when we look at the number of roles laid out and the remuneration of $6000ttd=$884USD to start for these jobs, there is something grossly wrong.

I hope this episode will help the companies understand that whilst they need these roles fulfilled, they would be better off seeking freelancers on platforms like Fiverr, then wrap multiple disciplines into 1 and underpay that staff member.

This should also let job seekers know that you need to value yourself and know that your skillsets have much more value than these companies are willing to pay you for and that you should stay away.

Back in June 2021 the CEO of Instagram, Adam Mosseri came out and announced that major changes would be coming to Instagram.

The message that Instagram sent was clear: it no longer wants to be thought of as the “square photo-sharing app,” as Mosseri puts it, but instead as a general entertainment app driven by algorithms and videos.

In December of 2021, The Caribbean region finally got the long-awaited feature Reels and creators across the region have started to see some growth in their numbers after many complaints of stagnation on the platform.

The question I wanted to tackle in this episode is...is brand photography dead for social media? If the top photo-sharing app is no longer focused on photos, as a business, does it make sense to pour budgets into photography for social media?

We dive into that question.
