Think Like an Integrator

Are ads *really* necessary for consistent revenue in your online biz!? If you are an entrepreneur with digital products, then this episode all about Facebook Ads will be right up your alley! I can’t wait to dig into this topic with the KS Agency Facebook Ad Director who is also a client of ours, Rebecca Rice… and I’ll be honest, you guys. We have a LOT of opinions about ads. You’ll hear some of them today!

We’ll be sharing a little bit of our unique working relationship, what Rebecca’s experience is with ads in her own business (including what it was like to take a 6 month break from running Facebook ads!) and which ads YOU should run in your own business. 

If you’re curious if Facebook Ads are worth it, how to maximize your ROI on ads, and how the KS Agency can help you with all of that, then go ahead and press play to tune in. We can’t wait to hear what you think!!

Any other workaholics out there? This episode is for you! I’m steering away from speaking specifically about digital products today to make a confession.

I recently took a vacation… and I didn’t take my laptop. (Gasp!!) And guess what!? I didn’t miss it at all!! If you had told me this even 6 months ago, I would have laughed at you! But I did it. And it was SO good. 

So today I’m sharing it all with you – how it went, what worked for me, and some tips on how to unplug from YOUR business, too. (And yes, it’s possible to do this successfully! Promise!) I’m here to encourage you, from one workaholic to another, so you can do it, too. Ready to learn how YOU can unplug without losing your business or your mind!? Press play and let’s get started!

It’s a day of celebration here at the KS Agency!! For about a year and a half, we’ve needed to refresh our online home and we finally made it happen – our new website is LIVE and I can’t wait to tell you all about it in today’s episode. 

Not only will you get to hear about my favorite parts of our new website (including some brand new services that we’re showcasing, including things we said we’d never offer!!) but you’ll also get to hear a little bit about my story, too!

I’m sharing where I started in the entrepreneurial space, the ways 2020 changed it all, how I know I’m in my zone of genius now, and what it looked like to scale and grow the KS Agency to where it is now!! If you love all the juicy details of a backstory, then you’re going to love this episode. Let’s dive in!

In today’s episode, we are doing our first guest interview as part of a brand new series called “This or That?” The purpose of this series is to help you beat decision fatigue with all the tech & tools available in the digital space! There are SO MANY good options it can be hard to figure out which one is the right one for you! 

For our first This or That we had to settle the Great Debate: Trello vs Asana … and it makes perfect sense to have that episode be with one of my very own Project Managers, Samantha Haycraft!! I’m a BIG fan of Trello, but on the KS Team, Samantha is the Asana Queen. If a client comes in and uses Asana, they go to Samantha. 

So… it only makes sense to have her join me for this first “This or That?” where we’ll help YOU decide which of these project management tools (if any!) are right for you. We can’t wait to hear what you think!!

In today’s podcast episode, we are going to be talking about a Marketing Funnel. 

At the KS Agency, we work with Visionaries who are creating, growing & scaling digital products – this means we are FULLY immersed in their marketing funnels. From top of funnel content to nurture campaigns within the funnel to the offer itself. We are in and out of marketing funnels!!

Today, I want to define what a marketing funnel IS as you think through your first or NEXT marketing funnel!! Plus, I’m even sharing one of the biggest mistakes I see that I also made when it comes to building out your product suite.

Intrigued?? Press play to tune in and find out how you can use marketing funnels the right way in your biz!!

I can’t wait for you ALL to get your hands on a copy of this book after hearing how it’ll transform you biz – so press play & let’s jump in!!

Welcome to the very first episode of Think Like an Integrator, a podcast for business visionaries who love to dream but lack a team to do it all!! I’m Kat Schmoyer, business owner and founder of KS Agency. My team and I thrive in the weeds of businesses who create, grow, and scale digital products. Imagine having ideas that will make you money, but never being able to launch them because you are exhausted, overwhelmed, and doing it all… alone.

Many online businesses fail to scale because they don’t have the organization or systems in place to get things done right. Think Like an Integrator can help – because when you know how to integrate, you will always be able to innovate!!

I’m kicking off this entire podcast with going Back to the Basics to fully explain WHAT an Integrator is, what a Visionary is, the different types of integrators and the biggest question of all… How do you know if YOU need an integrator!? In today’s episode, I’m diving into the exact definitions of what a Visionary and an Integrator are, what makes the V/I duo so important, and where you can go to learn even more about what this looks like for you and your brand!! Let’s dive in!
