Are you busy as a solopreneur and want to make content at scale to increase your brand presence? Or do you not know how to create content at scale?

We have Pascu Dragos on the mic today, who is a content creator and agency owner, to answer these questions. Pascu will also give us some tactical tweaks to our content creation skills to make our content a lot more engaging to our audience. For example, when recording video content do you make the mistake of not looking at the camera?

Every business and personal brand needs to be on social media. It is imperative to be on it because if you're not showing your face then people will forget about you. We don't want that to happen if you can reach millions of people across the world and generate revenue by leveraging social media.

Sebastian gives us insights on the economy of Instagram, how people make money from it, and how producing valuable content instead of promotional content can help generate more revenue.

A lot of people might think that buying followers is a giant no-no when building a personal brand especially if you want to monetize it. I mean... if you buy followers then are they going to be the right people you want to engage in your content or even buying your products or services?

The answer to that is no according to Blake Taylor, but showing credibility on Instagram is key to selling. Would you rather buy a course from someone who has 15k or 150 followers? As consumers, we tend to gravitate to something that is most notable.

In this episode, we go over how you can grow your Instagram by buying followers among other strategies as well as how to monetize your Instagram.

We are with Karim Tawfic, the founder of Upearance and Canvas Vibes, which is an advertising agency and print on demand canvas business respectively.

We go over how eCommerce brands need to advertise on platforms like Instagram, Google, and Youtube to really scale. 

One of the most surprising things I took note of from this episode with Karim was how he makes and applies templates that work across different businesses. In other words, he found a cookie-cutter solution where he just plugs and chugs.

Can there be a template or cookie-cutter solution that you can apply to different businesses as an agency owner?

The Credit Repair business is a very demanding and lucrative one. There are so many entrepreneurs doing it but as a collective, they still cannot meet the demand because so many people are struggling to fix their credit so they can potentially get a loan for their business, home, car, or anything else.

Banks will always ask for your credit score and if it's in the red then you won't get that loan that you need. This was something that Ruel had to learn the hard way when he moved from Ethiopia to the US. He had no idea was his credit score was and as a result, he couldn't struggling to transition to a new life here in the US.

It is fair to say that Reul got obsessed with Credit Score to the point of fixing his credit scores, his sponsor's credit score, and the people he knew. He would eventually establish a reputation as the credit repair guy and fast forward to today he has been killing it with his credit repair business Dajo Finance.

What makes Reul different from other entrepreneurs in the credit repair space is that he believes in the idea of providing value first. He constantly talks about giving people free information because it will help him and his brand in the long run. 

In this podcast episode, we breakdown the steps needed to create a credit repair business if you want to hop on this grand opportunity.
