Nauti Nerds

Owning and managing a fully remote company has its perks, but it also has its downsides.

Tom doesn't like offices. Likewise, many of his employees such as coders need their own space to concentrate and not get distracted.

In this episode, Tom looks at the pros and cons of a fully remote business. He also looks at what strategies he and his employees have in place to ensure they find that work/life balance.

We've all seen those posts online from business gurus where they're sharing screenshots of their successes. They often also claim you can achieve the same success in under 30 days...

Chances are, they will be wanting you to buy a £10k course from them. Tom truly doesn't believe you need this to start, or succeed in your business.

So, in this episode, Tom looks at wether a business owner really needs a mentor and if they can help accelerate your businesses goals.

Everybody has heard of ChatGPT (unless you have been living under a rock) and it's safe to say, it's taking the world by storm at the moment. There are endless uses for apps such as ChatGPT but the question on a lot of peoples lips is, will it replace humans?

In this week's episode, we are talking all things copywriting. Specifically, copywriting in the age of artificial intelligence. Tom explores how using AI as a tool can be helpful for content creation but ultimately, whether he thinks AI can actually replace human copyrighters.

In this episode, Tom talks about something which is very close to him. It’s something which he has mentioned a few times on the podcast and that is stress and mental health.

Not enough business owners, entrepreneurs, managers or CEOs talk about stress and mental health.

So, in this episode, along with sharing some of his own coping mechanisms and personal stories, Tom wanted to share something a very close friend told him a few months ago. What they told him instantly changed his outlook on how he views running his business, owning a business and how he views, most importantly, his stress and mental health.

A few months ago we recorded an episode all about what makes a good agency and any red flags you should look out for. However, it is a two way relationship, which many businesses don't seem to understand.

Nautilus doesn't work with every type of person that comes to their door so in this episode, Tom explores what makes a good client and shares how he uses discovery calls to see if if a client 'is a fit'.

Some businesses can find themselves restricted with a limited number of advertising opportunities available to them, especially when it comes down to paid media.

For CBD, betting and dating companies, the 'traditional' options of Google, Facebook, Twitter and Insta ads are non-starters. Their platform policies don't allow these types of companies to advertise, so how are they supposed to reach more people?

Well, for a few years now, we've been doing something a little cheeky... We've got a trick up our sleeve which our clients LOVE us for.

Head Nerd, Tom, loves oceans, water and nature (hence why Nautilus is called Nautilus).

In this episode, Tom shares how by helping protect the planet, it has allowed Nautilus to secure more clients.

Nautilus frequently donates profits to wonderful charities across the UK who are doing their bit to protect our oceans, environments and future. From working with Cornish seal sanctuaries to carbon offsetting, at the very heart of Nautilus there is a true passion for good.

Most businesses want to do the right thing and give back to the wonderful planet in which we habitat. Tom has found that more clients are choosing to use Nautilus' services over competitors, as they feel by doing so, they are contributing towards living in a greener and more sustainable world due to the charitable work Nautilus does.

Bullying shouldn’t exist but the sad reality is, it does.

In this episode, Tom shares his story of how the toughest time of his life became a true force for good.

Tom used to get bullied due to the fact he liked drama, acting and simply learning. When he was growing up, he was constantly branded a nerd because he either had his head in a book or spent his free time learning new software, opposed to kicking a football around a field.

Sure, Tom was different but different is good! Different means you stand out from the crowd and in this episode, Tom shares how by being different, by standing out, embracing who he was and the fact he is a proud nerd, it allowed him to create a brand which wouldn’t be what it is today, if he hadn't have been bullied.

Business partnerships are crucial to help you grow your customer base and add more revenue to your business.

In this week's episode of Nauti Nerds, Tom discusses how partnerships have helped them grow their business!

One of the most important things to note about partnerships is that they're a form of networking - but in a good way. The Nauti Nerds have several partners, including cybersecurity companies, Microsoft service providers, and other agencies.

In the most recent episode with Steven, we talked about how Nautilus Marketing are working with WhitePress.

Referral programs are another way that partnerships can be beneficial.

Listen as Tom talks us through the moment he landed on a tremendous opportunity that’s brought in a surprising number of new leads into his business!

A massive part of successful SEO is link building. Without it, you're not going to get very far.

For a while now at Nautilus Marketing, we've been enjoying a partnership with WhitePress, a content marketing platform.

The point of the business is it helps you place links to your website using their roster of websites from around the world.

When Tom Jauncey first learned about WhitePress he became super excited, as he's a massive SEO nerd.

In this episode, Tom talks to Steven Khanna from WhitePress all about business development, cold-calling and of course, link building!
