Jane and YouTube expert, David Walsh discuss David’s journey on You Tube - how he built his channel and scaled it to over 100,000 subscribers. They also look at the factors influencing success, such as AI algorithms, which content and topics work best, headlines, thumbnails, and hashtags, YouTube shorts, and advertising, as well as the opportunities for revenue creation and sponsorship and so much more. 

David works with entrepreneurs and organisations who want to grow their authority and reputation on You Tube so they attract carefully targeted traffic and leads into their business. 

David often finds people get overwhelmed by the prospect of building a You Tube Channel as they don't know what videos to create for their audience. At other times they are frustrated with creating YouTube videos and getting ZERO or low views. They struggle to get their YouTube Channel visible and converting browsers into customers or clients.

Do you use YouTube for your business? And if not, are you planning to start?

Gideon Lask is a Tech CEO and Founder of BuyaPowa - the only scalable refer-a-friend and advocacy platform for all industries (especially highly regulated ones such as banking and insurance). 

In this fascinating interview Jane and Gideon talk about the ever-changing tech landscape, and the demands of the start up to scale up journey. 

You’ll hear how Gideon remortgaged his house to bootstrap his startup and how he subsequently attracted his ideal investors. 

How he pivoted twice to find a true product market fit, his acquisition of another business, and future M&A plans. The challenges and delights of a remote global workforce, his personal life, children, divorce and remarriage. And finally the peak performance habits that keep him on track for success.

This is a no holds barred discussion that is full of great insights and wisdom for startups and scale-ups alike. 

In this interview, Oliver and Jane look at why property investors often neglect the issue of personal brand, and why it harms their success to do so. Why perception matters so much, in property as well as other sectors, and why you must always prioritise and develop a strong and congruent brand presence.

Oliver James is a passionate property brand advocate who discovered the key to growing a successful property business is through branding and marketing. 

In 2018 he was regularly networking in the property sector and realised that the majority of property investors had no idea how they were being perceived in their marketplace. 

His pockets were filled with a bunch of cheap looking cards with low quality logos on the back. The people he had just met were networking to meet investors to grow their professional property business, using amateur branding that sabotaged their success. 

Jane invited Oliver to the Smart Connector podcast to highlight that if you neglect your brand, it will end up costing you a LOT more in the long run as your ideal clients will not understand your business or your fit in the sector you belong to. 

Do you prioritise branding in your business? What does your brand say about you?
