Do you really want to spend all of your very precious, very limited time on earth catering to a company that doesn’t give two shits about you? Or do you want to create meaningful things for actual humans who appreciate what you do? We’re not just business owners, we are creatives, and if you spend all your creative energy pandering to an algorithm that doesn’t even reflect what your people actually want… well that’s a quick way to burn yourself out and give up.

Let’s chat.

Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, and build a life that they love. I'm your host, Dr. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, and I’m stoked to have you here. I hope this podcast inspires you to make moves and do the thing. Action is the answer.

The algorithm doesn’t care about you
Niching down is important, but you have to create sustainably
We’re creatives as well as business owners
You don’t have to rely on the “numbers” for validation
The algorithm isn’t made for people, YOU make content for people

People out there (yeah, I’m talking about you) are afraid to commit to doing the thing because they’re afraid of wasting their time. Yes time is finite, but committing to something, whether it “turns out” or not is never a waste if we focus on all the things we gain by having done it in the first place. Nothing is a waste of time when everything is an opportunity to learn.

Having an email list is something I’m very passionate about for all online business owners because when it’s all said and done, your email list is the only thing you really “own.” If you want to social media-proof your business—and you SHOULD—then you need a way to get in contact with and talk directly to your potential clients and customers. Enter: your email list. It’s not enough to just have one, you gotta be writing to it, too! In today’s episode I’m sharing 3 points I focus on when writing to my list that’ll help you write those emails, and actually write them well.

I’m all about consistency in posting on Instagram, and ideally posting every damn day, but with posting daily comes the fear of running out of content to make. What if I told you I knew three easy steps you need to take to make sure you never run out of ideas for content again? No, it’s not too good to be true, it’s legit, and it all starts with noticing the world around you. There’s content in every thing we do because it’s all inter-connected. The hardest part is paying attention.

Should you always display your prices? Are there times it makes sense not to list them? Y’all already know I’m gonna tell you to do whatever the hell you feel like doing, but personally, I always list my prices, and if you really want to know my opinion I think you should too. I’m not trying to deal with people and their problems with spending money on my services, but hey, to each their own.

We’re going way, way back to episodes 52 and 54 for this week’s Thursday Throwback, and for a sentimental reason. These episodes features an interview I did 6 years ago now with strongman Bud Jeffries. Bud passed away 2 years ago this January 21st, but the legacy he left is still impacting people today. The way his wife speaks about him and continues to share his message is something really beautiful, and I wanted to do the same in whatever small way I could.

It’s a long-ass episode because Bud didn’t do anything in his life half-assed. The original title of this episode is “Change Your Strength and Change Your Life,” and that encompasses everything Bud wanted to impart to the world. If you want to make a change, it’s time to get strong and take action.

We have all these mediums now that need all different types of content, but what the hell goes where? Emails, blogs, YouTube, podcasts, and social media (oh, my!) are all places you might want to be talking about your niche, but they all have very different use-cases and even more different “languages” that are spoken amongst them. Maybe you’ve seen people repurposing ideas amongst their various platforms, and that’s actually a good thing. Why? Well you’ll just have to listen to find out.

Should you start an online membership? No. No you should not. I say this as someone who actually *does* run one, but many membership models out there aren't all they're cracked up to be, and the dream of “effortless, passive income” isn’t real. Buuuut if you’re going to ignore me and start a membership anyways, here’s how I’d do it.
