Your biz is your biz.

If you've ever outsourced something for your biz and what came back just didn't feel right - well it probably isn't.

Be ok with saying "no thank you".

Be ok with taking more time to get it right.

Be ok with pushing back a bit to have everything feel a-ok.

Have you ever been in a position where you felt like you had to settle because you paid someone to do something? It's your biz and you shouldn't have to settle for anything.

Listen up and let me know a time that you felt this way too.

While you are listening...I'd love if you'd take a screen shot and tag me on IG or FB - IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME!!!

When was the last time you shared the details of your FREEBIE?

That's what I thought.

Freebies are the perfect way to GIVE to your audience. And when you give, you receive (an email address!).

Think of the time you took to create this valuable resource. I want you to tell people about it - often.

Listen to my latest Shortie on why the more you share it, the more your audience will eat it up. It's a true gift.

Meet Alice Sheridan, Abstract Painter from across the pond (you'll get to enjoy her lovely voice in this episode).

Thanks to the internet we have gotten to know each other over the past year+ and I am excited to finally have her as my guest.

What I love most about Alice is she is constantly hungry for information, specifically information to help her Market Her Biz Better.

We chatted about how she started her journey of being an online biz owner - we even got a chuckle when we looked at some of her posts online (4+ years ago!)

Listen up and hear how Alice makes online marketing work for her biz and how it makes her feel when she gets to share her world with her followers!

Ever ask a question on social media and get zero responses?

Don't feel bad.

I love when biz owners source their audience! It's the best way to learn more about them and their needs BUT it can be tricky!

Asking your audience to reveal something that they might not be comfortable answering, publicly, is where the disconnect is.

Even the most outgoing fan may not want to comment in a public thread. #truth

Put yourself in their shoes. How would you respond? How would you like to be asked?

Don't stop asking questions...I absolutely LOVE questions as a way to engage your audience however when it comes to a 'loaded' question, here are some solutions:

1. Ask a Q where that the answer can be a simple Yes or No

2. Use POLLS, allowing your audience to pick the answer that feels right for them, or fill in their own

3. Use your FB Groups, which are primarily closed or private, a place where your members feel safe talking with you online.

How can you ask 'better' questions? Tell me!

What a blast!

If you can pack your suitcase you can create social media content. It's really that easy.

Go and take a look at your most recent 5 social posts then come back and answer these questions:

What do they have in common?

Do they work together?

Are they setting you up for success?

Do your posts set you a part from everyone else?

What tweaks can you make to your next 5 posts?

How can they compliment each other while offering valuable content for your audience?

This is definitely the first of many recordings I will have with this guest.

Karen Collins has sweetened the homes of so many people with her treats - actually she has sweetened their lives.

Karen is one-of-a-kind (with the emphasis on KIND). She is a generous, hard working, patient and talented pastry chef. The title of business owner just doesn't cut it for her. She's worn many hats in her biz including "marketer" and I am excited for you to hear how that makes her feel.

Grab your ear buds then head over to her website and place your order!

Want my recommendation? Doughnut Muffins!
