The Creatives' Conversation

Social media is a powerful tool for your business, but it can be overwhelming to try and figure out where to start.

So what do you need to know? 

Here are 7 things you need to know about social media in 2023:

1. Understand that not every platform is for everyone. Different kinds of businesses have different needs, so don’t assume that Twitter or Instagram will work best for your brand—research which platforms will help your company grow.

2. Engagement is KEY! Going live on Instagram and posting great content isn't enough anymore; you need to engage with your followers by responding to their comments and questions.

3. There is no growth without consistency: You need to post regularly on all of your social media accounts in order for them to be effective at attracting new customers (and retaining old ones).

4. It's becoming a PAY-TO-PLAY ENVIRONMENT: If you want your posts seen by more people, then you'll need to pay money for ads and boosts—this is true across all social platforms, but especially on Facebook and Instagram right now! Paying attention here could save you lots of money in the long run!

Tune into the full podcast to hear the last 3! You definitely won't be disappointed

If you're looking for how to get rich, this podcast's for you.

In this video, we'll be reviewing "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. This book has been a bestseller for over 80 years and is one of the most popular self-help books of all time. It was written in 1937 by Napoleon Hill, who interviewed more than 500 successful people at the time (including Andrew Carnegie).

This book teaches you how to apply specific principles like desire, faith, autosuggestion, specialized knowledge, and imagination to achieve success. The book is divided into 17 chapters that cover topics like "Desire", "Faith", "Auto-Suggestion," "Specialised Knowledge" and "Imagination."

It's a very easy read— some finish it in less than 24 hours—and it only costs $11 on Amazon! You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Think-Grow-Ric...

We're back and excited to bring you season 2 of the Creatives' Conversation!  If you want to succeed in 2023, you must market yourself and your artistry effectively. Here's what works — and what doesn't — when it comes to marketing yourself and your products:

Let's say you're an amazing entrepreneur or artist. You've got the best ideas and some killer strategy, but you're still not getting traction. What can you do to overcome this?

It might be time to rethink your approach and make some adjustments that will help improve results. Here are three things you need to know when marketing yourself successfully in 2023:

You need to be “end-goal-minded”.

If your goal is to become an author but all of your writing attempts have failed so far, maybe it's time for some help from someone else who knows what they're doing--and has actually published books before (because no one ever gets their first book published without some kind of guidance). Or maybe instead of trying again with fiction or nonfiction writing, try something different: why not write poetry or short stories instead? It may seem like starting over from scratch when all your previous work seems worthless now that it hasn't paid off yet; however, remember: there are no rules saying "this is how things have always been done." If there were such rules then everything would stagnate into nothingness because no one would ever want to change anything ever again...and we certainly wouldn't have any progress at all!

You Need to Find Your Marketing Engine

Your marketing engine is the thing that drives your business. It's not just a clever name for your company or project; it's the thing that gets people to buy from you, and makes you different from others.

It's also what helps them decide whether or not they want to work with YOU specifically (including things like reputation and personal style)

 Create a Plan for Consistency

You can't expect to be successful if you aren't consistent. Consistency is the key to success, and it's something that many people overlook when trying to market themselves in 2023. If you want people to notice what you're doing, then they need to see it over and over again.

You may think this doesn't apply because there are so many other things on your plate right now--but let us tell you something: if there's one thing we've learned in our years of experience, it's that consistency is everything!

If we aren't consistent with our actions -- if we don't take action every day toward our goals -- then nothing will happen! We won't make progress towards our dreams; instead, they'll just stay locked away inside our heads forever...and then we'll never achieve them!

Here are some marketing myths to let go of:
Marketing is not a science.

Marketing is not a formula.

Marketing is not a magic trick, and it's definitely not easy. But it can be done!

Marketing is not just advertising or promotion--it's all the things you do to get people interested in what you have to offer, including networking, public speaking, and writing online (like what you're reading).

Marketing isn't just for big companies; it's also for small artists and businesses like yours too! If you want customers or an audience, but don't know how to attract them yet, don't worry: there are plenty of ways for you to market yourself successfully in 2023...and beyond!

Does having a big following equal making good money online? How does somebody ACTUALLY make a good income from the internet? Is it even possible? Well, that's exactly what we're discussing today! We've seen people with big followings not make hardly any money and have to make 9-5 jobs... while we've seen others with hardly any followings (like the nonprofit we're discussing in this episode) make a lot of money in a short span of time. 

So, if you're wondering how you can make your craft profitable or get your business off the ground, tune in! This is for you!
