  • 012 Tech Tip Tuesday - Google Keep vs Notes App

    Today's episode is all about Google Keep and the Notes app that comes with IOS.

    Now the reason I'm going over both of these and comparing them is because I'm actually trying to decide which one I want to use.

    There are lots of other notes apps out there. One of the big ones is Evernote. So if you're already using something like Evernote, this probably isn't even worth it for you.

    But the reason I'm going over Google Keep and Notes app is because these are both free. They're both basic but they both do a lot.

    I know Evernote has a free version. I've never really gotten into Evernote. I've kind of gotten option paralysis, so I think I would need to take a full on course on how to use Evernote. I've tried using it but then I just like... ooh... I totally get overwhelmed. I just want something basic for keeping notes on.

    I've been trying to use Google Keep, but I'm so used to using the Notes app that it's automatic for me to use the Notes app. I'm trying to use Google Keep to see if I actually like it better.

    But let's just go over what the functions are of each one. And then we'll go over and see which one probably would work better for you.

    Both of them you can take notes. Both of them sync up.

    As you listen to the podcast, you will hear what the differences are and how they are similar. As well as the pros and cons of each.

    This episode is sponsored by your FREE MailChimp Email Marketing How-to.

    If you have a business, you know you need an email list.

    But, what if you're just starting out, and your budget is close to zero. Or, maybe your budget is actually zero when it comes to using an email service provider right now. What are you gonna do?

    In this free gift that I have created for you, it's called MailChimp Email Marketing How-to. I show you how to use MailChimp's free service.

    So, MailChimp lets you use their service for free, with a few limitations for up to 2000 people on your list. And that sounds great.

    But, here's the problem with that. The way they have it setup, it's not intuitive on how to use their free service if you have more than one thing that you're giving away.

    So, basically you create these lists. But it's only good for one thing that you're giving away. If you go to give something else away, then it changes the first thing. Does that make sense? Well, anyway, you're gonna grab this free gift.

    Let's say to get people on your email list, you have two to three different freebies that you're trying to give away. But to set up to the three lists, it's a bit tricky.

  • 011 What Is a Landing Page - Landing Page vs ESP

    Today, we're going to talk about What Is a Landing Page.

    I'm also going to go over a little bit the difference between an ESP versus a landing page. People get a little confused on this subject, so hopefully I can spell it all out for you so you understand exactly what's going on.

    When people are first getting in to running a business and doing all the online stuff... you get so much information thrown at you that it really... it starts to get confusing.

    Some of you may have no problem with this. If that's the case, you don't even need to worry about listening to this episode. But I have found quite a few people, they kind of get this stuff mixed up, just 'cause they're just getting so much stuff thrown at them at one time.

    Let's go over what a landing page is and how it differs from an email service provider or an ESP.

  • 010 Tech Tip Tuesday - How to Turn Off Video Autoplay on Facebook and Twitter

    This episode is about turning off the video autoplay in your Facebook feed and your Twitter feed.

    Some people are fine with it. Some people don't realize that they could turn it off. Some people, it drives them crazy.

    A while ago now, goodness, I think it was a couple years ago, there was a horrible tragedy that was captured on video and the man who perpetrated the tragedy uploaded it. I believe it was to Facebook. I don't know about Twitter, but I believe it was to Facebook. And with that video autoplay feature, people were ... it got shared because people are like, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe this happened."

    So, people would be going through their Facebook feeds and this tragedy basically unfolded right before their eyes. And they kind of had no choice but to see it.

    I was one of the lucky ones that it did not pop up in my feed, but I was PO'ed. I don't know if your kids are listening to this, 'cause I really want to say what that stands for, but I was really, really angry that that was even allowed to happen.

    I went in and I searched and searched and made sure I found a way to turn off that stupid autoplay. And I will tell you, I have loved not having autoplay on.

    Ads don't autoplay. I don't automatically get sound. I don't have this visual going on in front of me. I make the choice whether or not I want to start that video.

    I am going to share with you that you can turn it off on both of them. You do not have to have it autoplay in your feed...

  • 009 ConvertKit vs MailChimp - What Email Service Provider Should You Use

    This is the fourth episode in the email marketing series that we're working on. And today's episode is going to go over ConvertKit vs MailChimp.

    I've used quite a few different email service providers over my business career, and these are the two I like the best, especially for beginning business owners. I think those are the two best for non-techies. And they are the two best if you want to get your email system marketing up and running quickly.

    And they're the easiest, I think, for doing it all yourself. So you don't have to have any big team doing it for you. It's really easy to get in there, do we need to do and then get out.

    Now, I'm going to go over the bits and pieces, the pros and cons, the differences of the two. I definitely think if you are just starting out in business and don't have an email service provider yet. Or especially if you've never used one before, you're going to want to choose one of these two.

    Hopefully going over all this information will help you make the best choice for you and your business right now.

    In this episode, we will go over:

    • The Dashboard
    • Forms and Signups vs Landing Pages
    • Emails
    • Price
    • Tagging/Segment vs Groups/Segments
    • eCommerce
    • Support

  • 008 Tech Tip Tuesday - Never Lose a Picture from Your Phone Again with This Tip

    Is your phone getting full? Do you have a ton of pictures that you don't know what to do them?

    And what if your phone died? I actually just saw this. Somebody posted it. And it popped up in my Facebook feed. They were horror stricken because their phone had died. I can't remember if they dropped it in water, something.

    Anyway, the phone died. They had never done anything with their pictures for the last two years. That was where all her family photos were, on her phone for the last two years. And she had nothing.

    She was basically begging people to send her any pictures that they had of her family for the last two years. I was very sad by it. But you can avoid this situation herself, actually. Very, very easily...

  • 007 What Is the Difference Between an ESP Email Service Provider and a CRM Customer Relationship Management System

    We are continuing on with our email marketing series.We're in the third week. And today's particular episode is about:

    What Is the Difference Between an ESP (Email Service Provider) and a CRM (Customer Relationship Management System)

    First off, let's go over what they stand for so that may help right there.

    ESP stands for email service provider.

    CRM stands for customer relationship management.

    The problem is that people are using these two acronyms interchangeably all the time. I'm not sure that they know exactly what they stand for; I think that's why they just get used interchangeably.

    The problem is when you're new to this whole environment. And you don't know what they stand for. And you don't know how to use them. And what you're supposed to do with them, it starts to get really confusing.

    In fact, I think it was a couple years ago when I realized that I was listening to my business gurus that I follow. And they were using them interchangeably.

    And then, it got to the point where a couple of 'em were like, "I don't even know what this stands for. I don't even know which one means what. What am I supposed to be using?"

    I'm like, "Alright, if you guys don't even know, somebody needs to figure this out." I went, I figured it out. And it's like, "Okay, now it makes total sense."

    I think the problem is, it's one of those things that if it's not your job specifically, you don't really know all the intricate details of it.

    But you wanna get to know the details especially of ESPs because even if you're just starting your business, it is something you're gonna need to use...

  • 003 What Is an Email List and Why Do You Need One for Your Business

    We are kicking off a series all about email lists and email marketing and to help you get to understand all this stuff that you're supposed to understand.

    Because I don't know about you, but when I first was getting into business, people would tell me... All the time... All the gurus would say, "You need to get an email list going. You need to get your email marketing going."

    And I'm like, "What are you talking about? I have an email account. Does that count?"

    But, it doesn't. So, there is a lot of information to learn. But it's one of those things once you learn it, you're like, "Oh, okay. I get it now. It makes sense. So, now I just have to continue forward."

    So, today we're just gonna cover some basics about what is an email list and then why you need one for your business. The whole reason why you need to have this email list and continue growing this email list.

    And this works if you have an online business or you have a brick and mortar store. And email list can be huge for your business.

    Now obviously, if you have an online business, that's probably even more. But if you have a brick and mortar store, this could be amazing for your business too. And instead of just trying to depend upon foot traffic.

    Things we go over in this episode:

    What Is an Email List?

    It's really easy to define. It's just a list of people who have said that they want to hear from you. And, they give you their email address.

    They say, "This is my special private email address. Here you go. I want to hear from you. I want to know all about the things that you are willing to tell me about."

    Whether that be sales, specials, just information, content marketing...

    Why Do You Need an Email List for Your Business?

    Every other space that you have out there is rented, except possibly your website. (But that's another podcast that we're gonna get into in a few weeks.) But, if you use social media for your marketing to try and get people into your store, or to get people to buy stuff from you, it's all rented space. Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, all of them.

    Algorithms change all the time. I'm sure you've heard of the algorithms right? That's the super secret computer software formula. It chooses to see who gets to see what in their newsfeed or in their Instagram feed...

     

    This episode is sponsored by your FREE MailChimp Email Marketing How-to.

    If you have a business, you know you need an email list.

    But, what if you're just starting out, and your budget is close to zero. Or, maybe your budget is actually zero when it comes to using an email service provider right now. What are you gonna do?

    In this free gift that I have created for you, it's called MailChimp Email Marketing How-to. I show you how to use MailChimp's free service.

    So, MailChimp lets you use their service for free, with a few limitations for up to 2000 people on your list. And that sounds great.

    But, here's the problem with that. The way they have it setup, it's not intuitive on how to use their free service if you have more than one thing that you're giving away.

    So, basically you create these lists. But it's only good for one thing that you're giving away. If you go to give something else away, then it changes the first thing. Does that make sense? Well, anyway, you're gonna grab this free gift.

    Let's say to get people on your email list, you have two to three different freebies that you're trying to give away. But to set up to the three lists, it's a bit tricky.
