Social Bamboo: Social Media Marketing for Business

Watch Along on YouTube HERE!

Inventing products is a tough gig...

Especially when you live in the 21st century and your invention has to be exceptionally badass to make it!

You can't invent the wheel barrow in a day and become a billionaire anymore. You have to make an app that is powered by XM radio satellites, runs on solar power, and pays early adopters in your companies own cryptocurrency.

Okay, maybe not that far... but it's got to be good!

Here's why my first invention failed, what I was able to make out of it, and why it ended up being a necessary part of my journey in the end.

It was time someone put Ben Leavitt in his place... and as it turns out, I was just the guy to do it.

Us social media marketing experts don't always see iPhone to iPhone. So when we don't, we record ourselves debating and publish it on our social media channels.

At least we can agree on that.

But something had to be done about this madness - Which social media platform really is the most effective for marketing?

We break down Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Clubhouse, and TikTok... The good, bad, and the ugly of each.

Then we cover the pros and cons of some other popular strategies before I preceded to win the debate.

Ready to learn some tricks of the trade from an eCommerce store owner who's crushing it with Facebook Ads?

I made sure to ask every technical question I could think of to spell it out for you all exactly how to inherit some of his ad strategies. If you have run Facebook Ads before you will likely know a lot of the terms mentioned. If you have never run Facebook Ads before, this episode may confuse you at times.

But not to worry! I will be coming out with another episode recapping this one soon where I'll explain the terminology for those of you who are new. I'll also be talking about the differences between running a Facebook Ad campaign at scale versus how to run one when you are newer.

What do you think of the social media app, Clubhouse?

I used to absolutely love it.

But now I'm pretty certain I'm done trying to grow my clubhouse and will non longer be running Tuesday morning rooms.

It was absolutely worth it in March but in April it seems like everything came to a halt.

What do you think of Clubhouse? Have you been able to make it worth your time?

If so, head over to this YouTube video and let me know in the comments. I'll be sure to respond.

Ever feel like your knowledge of what the algorithm wants steers you away from posting authentically?

In addition to that, have you ever felt that what you feel like posting is not going to get the engagement and reach needed for it to be worth your time?

Both are just as valid points to make!

In order to achieve social media growth, it is important we be a tactical as well as authentic social media marketer.

At the beginning of the episode I point out some examples with Gary Vaynerchuck and Julius Dein who both do these quite well.

Then I go over the 5 questions to ask yourself before you post.

1. Is this made for my dream follower with respect to no one else?
2. Is this made for the platform people want to consume this style of content?
3. How do you think your audience will respond to it?
4. Is it educational, entertaining, or inspirational?
5. Is it shareable?

Imposter syndrome is a very real thing that affects everyone to different magnitudes.

Fortunately, it's something I feel I've got a strong grip on so I would love to share with you what I know. I've packaged the information to resemble that of my all time favorite book, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

These are my Four Agreements to Overcome Imposter Syndrome for content creators to be able to freely share their message without fear of judgment.

1. Only teach your truths
2. You don't want to be the smartest person in the room anyways
3. Welcome all feedback
4. It's okay to be wrong

P.S. I know that imposter syndrome is properly spelled as impostor syndrome but the amount of searches using the e spelling were much higher so had to adjust! #seo

Instagram Reels has made two major strides closer to being like TikTok in the last month.

Picking a niche is the most common problem among businesses struggling to produce sales.

Why? Because it's an extremely difficult thing to do! I'm still picking my niche in fact!

Choosing a niche is an ongoing process with an unlimited amount of changes allowed. Finding it sooner rather than later is always nice though, so I hope this episode helps!

Remember, picking a niche is not just about choosing a less competitive market. It is about picking which problem, for which market, you want to be the #1 solution for.

I needed to clarify a few other things with Instagram hashtags so that I make sure you all can execute correctly.

Hashtag impressions are hard to come by in this very competitive content creator space but there are only so many people who are going to get this info so you're going to be ahead.
