If you want to work business to business now, I use LinkedIn and have created a significant amount of income just from using LinkedIn and hanging out in LinkedIn groups. Now I don’t hang around in lots of different groups, because that doesn’t serve you to scatter gun your approach. It will serve you to get very laser-focused and target people that have the specific need or requirement, and that means hanging around in a group where there’s lots of your ideal customers that you could help to serve so give you an example, one group that i’m in I went into the group and there was somebody there.
This was just before we sold our room. It wasn’t just froze when we had our branding and design agency that we sold in 2013 and this person expressed a need for a website designer, and I was one of the first people to see this and comment the back. But what happened was before I’d responded. There were people that had they just actually said call me call me, call me, and it was just blatant. You know trying to get married on a first day.
All they did was put their web address, but instead I responded – and I said this is such an exciting time for you and congratulations you’re just about to enter a new stage of your business. This is such an exciting time. You want to make sure you get it right first time, so you don’t have to go through this process again and the way you’re going to do. That is this, and I gave 10 tips for how to make sure they’re choosing the right website agency to work with, and I put by the way.
This is what we do. So if you’d like help in getting some ideas around what you need to do to choose the right agency, then you know get in touch and we’ll have a coffee. So he then immediately sent me an email back and became a long-term customer for us. So we ended up creating his branding his website. We did his SEO, did loads of article stuff for him helped him with social media. I mean we were.
You know that that client was worth around 40,000 pounds to our business and and actually we’re still working with him to the point that when we sold our business and what also happened was because we were so helpful for him. We then had another five people that going touch with us and said, and can we have some more information as well, so we ended up with not just the one person that we’d responded to in a really helpful way.
We also ended up with five other customers too, who who also were our ideal customers. So what can you do? You need to think about using LinkedIn for your strategy. Think about very specific groups that you can join. So you make sure you’re, you’re, helping and adding value in the right way and that you’re serving in a greater way and by doing that. By going in with an attitude of serving rather than selling, you’ll find that you win more customers and you attract more people just simply from from doing that.
So I hope that that helps you if you’ve got any other questions. Do please leave your message below this article pop a comment below and we’ll answer your questions for you very soon.

You have been working on your pins. You’Ve been setting up your shop and now I’m going to show you exactly where to be: to increase your reach and to get your stuff in front of excited customers, but before we do that, go ahead and hit that bell, so you could be notified subscribe. I do articles every Friday, so do all that and then come back and then I’m going to show you exactly where you need to be to sell your pins.
Okay, so you’re ready to start marketing your pins but you’re not quite sure where to start, except for Instagram, I’m going to get to more Instagram tips in a second, but there is more to marketing than just that one app. So, by the end of this article, I am going to show you exactly where you need to be and exactly what you need to do to get seen on multiple platforms and increase your reach to sell your pins okay, so the first up is Instagram duh.
I’Ve talked about this before I have a whole webinar that you can read all about tips to grow your following on Instagram, but the biggest thing I want you to know about in this particular article about marketing on Instagram is to figure out what is working for. You so this is different for everybody. Everyone’S audience is different. What they respond to is different, so I want you to go into your analytics and I want you to look at the things that are giving you the most engagement, and I want you to look at the things that are giving you the most likes and the Really important ones are the click throughs, so those are the ones that people are looking at and clicking through your profile and they’re, going to your shop so figure out what those are along with followers.
You want to see the stuff that brings in more followers, but once you get those followers there, you want to see what they’re engaging with and you want to see what is converting them and it’s making them click over into your shop. So when you see and organize those things – and you can see the pins and the photos that people are most likely to click over to your website, you can duplicate those kind of photos.
You can share those same photos again. Don’T do it like super soon, but you can absolutely reuse photos every few months and you can duplicate the kind of subject matter. That’S in those photos and the type of caption that you use – and you can use that to your advantage, because you know it’s already working okay. So let’s talk about Pinterest for a second. This is a platform that I have been experimenting with, and I’ve been really excited with the results of it.
Pinterest is basically just a search engine and there are entire courses. You could go into how to use Pinterest for your business, but for again the purposes of this article we’re going to take a higher-level look. So Pinterest is a search engine, so that means you can put a pin up and then it’s there. So if people are looking for it and if people are looking for certain things, if you’ve got keywords, if people are responding to photos that are similar to yours, Pinterest is going to show them.
They’Ve got their own algorithm too, so you can utilize Pinterest for your shop by creating a board for just your shop, so you can have all of your own products in there. You could have a board for your Instagram. You can cross promote on both of those you can repin pins from each one. You can have boards that are themed, so I have one that’s like super cute pins cap, pins and I’ve gone kind of granular with the types of boards that I have around pins, and so in those boards you can pin other people’s stuff, which is awesome because You’Re supporting the community and you’re, showing your followers and just people scrolling through Pinterest, really awesome fun stuff.
That also works with your own aesthetic and you can put your own stuff in there too. So I think it’s really really fun. It takes kind of minimal effort to get used to it. Of course, there are people, it’s their whole job. A lot of people go really hard into Pinterest, but for our purposes I think it’s good. If you want to just dip your toe in a little bit see how it goes and make just a handful of boards and pin stuff and just kind of read.
I haven’t even really touched mine in a couple of months and my views. My monthly views keep growing, which is pretty awesome, so I would definitely recommend taking some time once a week every couple of weeks and just go through, pin some stuff. That’S been on your Instagram pin some stuff, that’s in your shop and just kind of get the pins flowing on Pinterest and then see you’re, just kind of see your accounts go up.
I think Pinterest is about the fourth or fifth referred to my site. So I definitely get sales from Pinterest, so it’s definitely not as much as Instagram or direct traffic, but why not take advantage of it if it just takes a couple minutes um every few weeks to kind of dip your toe in and try it out so definitely Recommend being on Pinterest, for that reason, okay, are you kind of excited to try Pinterest now, like I was on the fence about it, but once I started doing it, I got really excited about it.
Oh, so let me know in the comments if you are either on Pinterest already and are like duh. Of course you should be on there and put your pins on there or, if you’re, not on Pinterest, yet and you’re like yes, give me this. So tell me down below what you think. Okay, this is a big one, email lists, so I talked about this a bit in my webinar to again linked below all that jazz, but email lists are so important.
The thing about social media is that we don’t own that platform at all, so Instagram could decide that it doesn’t want to post photos anymore and then what do we do? You know um. So the thing about email lists is you you own that list? These are people that have told you directly. They want to be on your email list. They want to hear from you. They want to get your content, so it’s really important to take care of these people.
So what I like to do is I try really hard to email. My people once a week with just some little notes. I try to send them coupons every now and then that are just for email subscribers, so they have a reason to be there, and that is kind of the biggest thing that gets people on email lists. So if you’re not quite sure what to do for an opt-in, I like to offer a discount code for people who you sign up for my list and just treat them well like these are your people.
These are your biggest supporters. I know when I send an email out to my subscribers, then I’ll get sales like these are the people that support me more than anyone else and they’re the ones that want to jump on any kind of specials or promotions or new products that I’ve got going On like these are my people and I love them so take care of them and if you’re worried about emailing people – and you haven’t done it in a while just do it, it doesn’t matter.
If an subscribe, the unsubscribe, it’s fine, they wouldn’t have bought anything anyway. So, who cares so I I definitely recommend having an email list. You can start by doing MailChimp. That’S what I started out using and they’re really great they’re super easy to use. You can integrate them and pretty much any selling platform at all. It’S really important start. Your email is start it now. Okay, this last one is a little different.
I think you should always market yourself in person too so have business cards, I’m terrible at always having business cards, but I do have special logo pins that I send out in orders. You know over a certain amount, you get a free local pin. So I keep those with me at all times and they’ve got my the name of my shop on the back of the pin and if anyone comments – and this has been huge since I’ve gotten my eita bags.
But people always comment on my bags because it’s still a pretty new thing and people are super into pins and when they see someone with a pink collection they’re, like I understand you, okay, no and whenever anyone reaches out to me or taps me on the shoulder. It was like, I love your bag. That’S awesome, then. First thing I do is say thanks. I’Ve made it which is like the best feeling in the world, but it’s also really cool.
When you can hand them a free pin and be like here are. My shop is on the back of this and definitely check it out. I was in Target the other day and this gentleman comes up and it’s like. Can I take a picture of your bag? For my daughter, she really likes pins and I was like sure, and then we ended up chatting. I gave him a pin from off of my bag and then he they ended up coming to Flair fest that weekend and they hung out and supported all the other artists there.
So you can’t you can’t underestimate in-person stuff, so it’s the same when you’re at shows always have your business cards. I don’t know it’s just been really fun talking to people about my shop and explaining what I do and having my eat a bag there with my pins. It’S a really great way to like help. People understand, because a lot of times you say I make enamel pins and they’re like, but if you have a physical thing to show them, then it really helps.
So I think it just helps build a deeper connection with just other human beings and with your local community, which is really great and yeah. I don’t know I just think having that physical pin, the one I have is really small. It doesn’t have to be super expensive, but I think having the pin is just this kind of extra over the edge when you give someone a free pen, because I get really excited about it.
So I don’t think, there’s anything wrong with Tooting your own horn in person with actual human beings. Okay, so we talked about Instagram. So I want you to go into your analytics and I want you to take a look and see which posts are giving you the most clicks and the most engagement. These are really important, so you can duplicate that kind of thing for later. I want you to take a look at Pinterest and if you’ve already got one set up, awesome, let’s be friends on Pinterest and if you don’t take a look around explore, you can look at my profile just to see an example of what someone’s doing with pins On that site, so take a look and dip.
Your toe in, I think, it’ll be really good for email list. If you don’t have an email list, get one uh-huh and if you haven’t emailed your people in a while, do it and then and don’t be shy when you’re in person with someone give them a business card, explain what you do be excited about it and be Confident in your work, because you’re awesome and you own your own business and of course you should holler about that.
Okay, so do you feel good about those options? It’S not too much! It’S totally doable and I actually go into more depth. As I said before and my webinar the five ways to grow your following fast on Instagram, I talk more in depth about email lists on there too. This is my go-to webinar. It’S time well, tons of free content go read it already. It’S really important. It’S a great webinar, full of so much stuff that you can really put into action immediately to start growing your followings, so do it go check it out if you like this article, go ahead and take a screenshot and share it on on Instagram on your stories.
Let me know: what’s helped you like this article subscribe, tell your friends all of that good stuff and and give me a party horn to give me a party horn emoji in the comments below. If this has been helpful, let me know what you think. I would love to talk about it. I love talking about social media and marketing and all that stuff. So let me know, I hope you liked it and I will see you in the next article bye,
Welcome back to my blog! What’S up! Thank you! So much for being here, they were going to call you guys up. This is the asteroid show where I answered your deepest darkest questions on social media. First caller is Charlotte and I’m getting ready as were chatting.
I wanted to be, as, like you know, real as possible, I’m a busy Cal and I’m just doing my ostracion as I’m putting my makeup on. So it’s like a multi, I’m some multi-level tasking entrepreneur, so we’re going to go with the first caller. Thank you. So much reading it we’re going to jump right. I think I have a microphone hello, hello, hello, hi. This is Jade girl to ask Jade, show hey Charlotte. How are you we’re doing amazing? So we got the we got the viewers here.
So, just let us know who you are what you do where were you from? I am from Scotland, I yeah. What do you do? What’S your? What’S your profession, I guess, what’s your, what are you currently doing on social media? Have a kind of like type thing? Oh I’m, taking at your account beautiful, foodie bloggers. What do you think is? What’S your current problem, how can I help you um? I just kind of wondered how to like insert more of myself into X.
Obviously, right now that’s kind of just like a lot of like food pictures but yeah, I kind of want to strengthen like personal side of it. So I got, I guess so. Maybe are you feeling, like you, get a lot more interaction and people find more value from food pictures? Not you. So you feel like if you post a picture. It’S like no one gives a shit. Okay, okay! I that’s what that’s a real problem, so how you do it like props to you.
Thank you. Well, let me let me take a look, so is YouTube something you’re currently working Harden or not as much you haven’t, sat down and filmed a YouTube article at all. I do Instagram lives or have you done anything with like face to face story? Interaction? Maybe you know what I think you should do. I think my biggest ever like tip for just starting to be like you know, trying to get comfortable with a camera, is really hard.
I’M telling you it’s like not like. I love the camera. It’S actually really weird, because no one’s fucking there, and sometimes if you go online right, if you ever like the do live, have you? Okay? If you have you done alive before? Okay, it’s just really awkward, but no one talks back and you’re just like looking for questions and no one’s asking anything. So how do you make it less awkward? So my biggest thing – I think I want you to try – is the key of being less awkward is called preparation.
So let me make it a little more less raw raw. I think what I would do for you is going on your DMS and whether you answer every single one or don’t for the next like leave it up for 24 hours to make people ask you, questions start the first couple articles slash you want to like segment Yourself inside just make it a Q & A do heavy Q & A because, what’s going to happen, is the reason why people don’t are not as interesting as Charlotte the person and more Charlotte the food? It’S because you don’t haven’t given them a reason to really care about you as a person.
For example, if you say give me a Q & A let me answer your questions and you do face to face interaction. They’Re going to want to read your YouTube article. What I would do is, if you don’t know what to say, make people ask you. The second thing is you should try something called. It’S called like the 60 60 minute challenge. I think it might help you so basically a little bit. Okay, are you ready? So I actually I do this for so many Oh kind of like my artist friends like people who make music cuz some people just don’t wan na fucking.
I don’t know why they’re an artist but they don’t wan na make a song. So I try to help them with how to be more comfortable, putting stuff down on paper. So for you, I would say: set a timer 60 minutes, whatever you film in that 60 minutes, you have to post it, whether it’s stupid or whether it’s good you have to so. This really gets your mind to kind of be okay. With imperfection good luck, charlie, I hope you crush it by the way.
Send me a DM after you crush it, and I love to know how it goes hey. This is JT on the ask Jay. True hey what is up girl toss? What’S your name where you from my name is dope peace? That’S a beautiful name of what the heck! I love it. What do you? What are you clearly which would pretty clearly up I’m about to uploading article? What do you do on social media? Okay, that’s a great question because right now I’m not really sure I am trying, but I feel like they don’t try to become influenced it just happen.
So I’m just trying to figure out and navigate do like being youtuber in if I’m even a youtuber. Yet because I have what do you think makes someone an influencer an influencer? Basically, I want to change this like later on, as I become an experiencer myself, but I either right now I feel like an influencer or someone who can equation can carry on and it’s their word or like what they say about certain things.
It gets carried on. A lot of people are reading them, they have envy or they have just people have their eye on them. Okay, people these piece weeks. How about this? How do you measure an influencer? That’S a better question. I feel like you’re like no, like you know. How would you measure someone like, for example, like how would you measure how influential someone is there you go, it’s a hard one think about it.
Well, I’m thinking right now is like oh, okay, tell me more. What does that explain it to like a five-year-old saying, peace? How do you measure influence go wow? You might do something great right now, but not everyone can see it well. How would you measure your success if someone is okay, honey, mm-hmm? I know a lot of youtubers action, don’t make money, so those are the stupid utility you’re supposed to make money for, of course, I think about it like this there’s nothing wrong with money.
It’S just about how much time you’re dedicated. If you have all your money made from YouTube, your hashtag dedicated that’s your job, so I feel like people who are half-assing YouTube and don’t make money it’s because they don’t know they’re, not actually 100 % committed, which is not evil. I think people kind of tie grounds to hardly with money, so I mean like. Let me know: do you really want to quit your job and do you two full-time one, do if you’re starting small and you haven’t, made any money yet and like he’s being consistent or you’re trying to rescue like? Where did that? Please you what’s your goal to make money right in what yeah time it’s time holding you Matt’s, not enough time, not enough money to do what you want or not enough self-confidence.
/! It’S yourself holding back! This is what I would do. Peace, I’m going to help you out with your YouTube career when you’re, when you’re small, you do the following things: you just test a lot of shit you’re just going to try something and you’re trying to do what people want to do, which is make content. So what you first of all the first thing, this first step to be YouTube famous, is you need a frickin be like through the roof? Confident, if you like, talking to camera, make that like become just best friends, what’s going to happen? Is people only follow people that have what they want if you’re not confident enough, if you don’t show them that you are in love with this more than they aren’t they’re not going to follow you, I think too many people realize they’re scared about posting.
You literally, if you can’t, if you’re scared of posting a article, no one wants a fucking, follow you, because everyone in their own home just are is insecure. The reason why youtubers or success will succeed is because either they’re extremely confidant, camera and people kind of want that in you know kind of embedded in them. So they read you more. I think that’s what you need to start with start with a little bit of confidence.
This might mean taking a trip to the park and just kind of being real with yourself doing, a really full beat look to make you feel better whatever you start with yourself. First and then what I would do next is don’t give a shit and do my favorite technique called top ten of top ten. So this is something I haven’t cinema youtube yet, but what you can do right now? Peace go to your top ten favorite youtubers.
Go to their most popular articles, take ten of their most popular articles and recreate it in your own words. So then you have a hundred unlimited. You have a hundred unlimited articles that you know is proven and works. Okay, and what’s the problem with that? What’S going to help you’re going to you’re going to get sued, so something more like what are you afraid of with someone getting upset? No, no one gives a shit like no one.
You have to understand you’re, not copying, there’s a difference between okay, I think imitation is horrible, like copying their words or style, it’s horrible. What you can do is steal, there’s a book. Actually I want you to read it search steal like an artist. What it’s basically saying this book is saying: you want to steal like an artist which means you don’t take from one creator, you take from ten different creators and you just take the ones that you really like the pieces that works.
You don’t want to imitate anyone. Imitation is all flattery. I do agree with that. Just don’t take from one person take from multiple sources. That’S not stealing! That’S called interpretation, alright got it! Thank you love. Your piece have a good day. Hello, hey. This is JD on the a street show. What’S up? Okay, tell everybody what’s your name and where are you from I’m from LA cool? What’S up, how can I help you today? No, I had a quick question for you.
I am a sports journalist, particularly for the NBA. I wanted to know because a lot of my content and access piece – and it’s a lot of stuff like that games or events or practices and stuff and with the season over, feel like I’ve kind of hit a little bit of a wall, creating content, because there Just hasn’t been as much stuff to post. How do you keep that fresh when it’s kind of a drag ball right now with that with, like that’d, be a season over in LA on it, so you’re on 5,000 followers? What’S the outcome you really want to see from this like fucked off my head: I’d love to eventually be at like 50,000 200,000.
What do you think’s holding you back from getting to you? 50 100,000. I’M sure, like I think I posted contact cuz right now. A lot of your work is less it’s either you or the player. Have you had a piece of kana that to you guys together yeah, I posted some stuff, it’s a little further down, but like like an interview, because so this is what I think for you. I think you don’t have necessarily like OJ and I don’t know what to post like you do know what to post.
You know what gets likes. You know what people want to see. It sounds like to me: you just have a distribution problem. Do you think I’m onto something for apps yeah? No, you go. You go first over think I tend to overthink in general, but especially now it was posting. It has I’ve gotten more followers because I was around, like I probably had 700 like last summer, so I’ve gotten more followers. I got started overtake my captions and like when I ask a question.
I’Ve noticed that I get pretty good engagement and results of questions, but I don’t know if I should be asking a question on every post or like some post. I can’t really think of a question that would go with the photo, the one where I’m like, posing with the basketball yeah that couldn’t really think of a question for that. But I think for me, if it’s a distribution and on top of that, like oh, I mean what I what I think about when I put yourself maybe, but if I’m myself in your shoes, maybe it’s like oh shit, I’m the shit now and I got ta.
Look cool so like for that, when you feel like you’ve made it somewhere, I would just do the complete opposite and just tell yourself you did to help you have it on shit, a lot of people when they get too big or, like I don’t even fake When you just experience fast growth, it can ultimately kill you, because in your head, you’re getting complacent and a little bit less oh, I think you actually know what to ask and what people want to hear it’s more of a fact of how vulnerable are you test? Testing a lot of things because you have to realize you’re still in the very beginning stages right now, you can’t overthink.
You really can’t afford that, but your dreams are bigger, I’m assuming so maybe you need actually think about like this, like you’re, just starting who gives a fuck. If you don’t know what to caption it, you have a lot more to go. That’S the first thing. Second thing is once you get over yourself and you’re like okay, I haven’t done shit. This is just only the beginning and I don’t need to worry so much about what people think.
I would actually take some of your best work. You did the spreadsheet thing, which is fucking cool, and this kind of like do this like smart, to take a photo with someone that has your audience. For example, amigos! That’S huge! What I would do is just take that freaking photo of a really meaningful caption and describes you and what you do put that as a Facebook or Instagram ad and show it to only migos followers.
People who are fans of me goes, I am Telling You they are going to come by on your page, a big host shit, I’m also like, because I’m I know a lot of guys if you target lot of guys, they listen to me, goes they’re, probably also Into basketball, so you know what I mean like, I feel like what you should do is distribution is simple ads. It’S it’s literally. What five dollars a day you can app at in just take your best content that you think people would be super interested in which is probably a photo and then insert yourself into it and then get that distribution down, because you already know what to post.
I feel like if you just want more followers triads, it’s the most targeted and fastest way: okay, okay and then one last question yeah a lot of photos of myself. I don’t want it to just become all about me, like I kind of want to invite value. To my see my followers, how would you say going about balancing like inserting myself into to my posts versus I know providing that most of people come for the other stuff? I assume.
Let me give you example. There’S a reason. Why Will Smith Will Smith? The page like Will Smith’s Instagram is better than a Will Smith’s Instagram like there’s a reason, my quote: Instagram pages, don’t do as well as maybe the personal page. I don’t think, there’s anything wrong with incident yourself in it, and why do you think it’s wrong? I feel like personal touches. People want to see face-to-face interaction, just because you put a selfie in it, doesn’t make it invaluable the values in the caption, the photos, just entertainment.
I don’t think you should worry about that. Okay, okay, so you think it’s fine to post more photos of myself as long as I’m providing value in the caption, I think that’s, what’s best people kind of want to see you kind of in the mix. I think that’s what makes you if you wanted to start just a. I don’t know editor page without you that would that be different story, but this is your page. This is like your page right, so you need to add yourself into it.

Have you heard the term "social signal"? If not, watch the video below.
So, yes, obviously you can go through and you can go boost the post and get more likes, get more comments, But I’m not talking about that. I’M talking about how to go through and strategically Leverage and use that Facebook ad, so that we can go through and Compile likes and comments from all the different ad sets that we’re going through and creating.
Now. The thing is, is when we go through and we create multiple ad sets Like, let’s say we’re, creating a campaign, and we want to get conversions. We want to get leads on our landing page Right and then, if we go through, we want to use that same ad, but we duplicate the ad set. What happens is Facebook actually Duplicates that ad and so it’ll be the same exact ad, but it’ll it’ll create a completely new one.
It doesn’t carry anymore over of any of the likes and the comments. So We don’t want this because, like if somebody goes through and let’s say you’re targeting one ad set is targeting, Let’s say Texas right, another ad says targeting Florida or whatever It might be. You know obviously, ad sets are targeting different audience types, whether its geographic location or interest or whatever It might be.
If someone in Florida likes your post, okay Or they have a positive comment or something like that, You want people in Texas to see that same exact thing. Right like or I mean That’s, probably a bad example, because geographical location can kind of get iffy. But let’s say you go going through you’re targeting different interests. You want people to go through and see that there’s a lot of social proof That is the power of Facebook Advertising, or I seen that other people.
Besides us them are liking. It they’re engaging with it and they’re connecting with your ads, So what I just want to show you guys really quick. This is not that long, a article, because it’s very simple and easy to do. Let’S just come over here. Let’S click on this traffic demo page right here or this campaign – So we’ve got this. This is obviously just a demo and everything like that, but we’ve got this ad set right here, We’re just going to click to the ad level.
Okay! So now, once we’re here, we’re just going to come over here We’re going to make sure this is checked right there We’re going to click on preview, Okay, so this is going to pop up a little preview of the post or the ad or whatever you’re going Trying to promote Now what I’m going to do is click on this button right here. Click on that, It’s going to say: hey Facebook posts with comments; Ok, so this is basically to pop it up on your newsfeed as if it’s you know, just a normal pulse right here.
Okay – And so this is what this is. A post is something that we’ve been Promoting right here for one of our webinars, and this is Jason right here He’s a loan officer, You can see, we’ve got 23 likes, we’ve got some hearts and we’ve got even some comments and all this stuff. So we want to be able to carry that over because, like Richard right here He’s got a great comment. I’M a true believer. It works, you know, So we want everyone to be able to go through and see the social proof behind this net right.
We don’t want to go through and start completely from scratch with every single ad that we start over, because that’s Naturally what Facebook does, unfortunately right. So what we’re going to do is we’re going to take this URL, this ID Okay, so everything at the very end. Okay, so it’s right here, this long number and we’re just going to copy this okay. So once we copy that we come over here Back to the ad set level – Okay, So this one – I just have it as like: it’s it’s just super open.
We want to duplicate this Okay, so we would duplicate it. It says: okay, Do you want to do so like this is basically just creating a new ad set, so we can target different People different audiences and we just want to use the original campaign, We’re going to click duplicate right here and it’s going to pop up And allow us to go through and change up the targeting. So I’m going to come in here and say: Demo ad set number two right: Okay, then we can come down and if we have like a custom audience Like, maybe we want to go through on one of them.
We want to target people that have visit our website and another one. We want to target People that we’ve uploaded as leaves or people have readed our articles or whatever It might be right Or we can come in here and say hey. I don’t want everyone in the United States. I just want people and kind of like the example we’re showing before everyone in Texas Right. So we come down here and we can pick.
The age group Obviously go through. Do your custom targeting It doesn’t really matter. I mean this is not kind of the key part that we’re showing you right here and then we hit publish Okay. So now, once we hit publish on this it’s going to go through and because we duplicate it technically, it would go through and Create a new ad that doesn’t have any lags any comments, Nothing on it’s completely from scratch.
Okay! So now what I want to do is I, like, I like to refresh guys the new Facebook guys manager. Sometimes I don’t. I don’t love it. It’S kind of a pain in the butt, So I refresh it because it wasn’t popping up automatically like it used to Which I love the the way he used to work Now. They’Ve kind of compiled compiled the power editor with the new Facebook Ads manager, not my favorite, So we click on right here and then now what we could do is if we just go over here and hit edit and Remember how we grabbed this URL this ID.
We just copy that, and we could say: hey use. Existing posts enter the post ID Paste it in right there, Okay, so, instead of creating that we want to use use existing posts and your post ID hit submit Okay, you know I’ve got the target on Instagram. This articles longer than 60 seconds, That’s why it’s giving us the air right there Look at this guy’s we carry over all 24 likes. We carry over the comments We carry over the shares and then we hit publish and we are set and ready to go.
So that is how you can go through and 10x is social proof With your facebook advertising. With all of your ads, your campaigns, your ad sets everything that you’re setting up now I just went through, and just yesterday I had some URL issues with my webinar registration page, So I had to go through and reset all my campaigns. All my ad sets everything which is a huge pain of, but because I usually don’t like to work on Sundays, but I Had to get it back up and running so that we could get keep our business push it forward.
So anyway, what I did was go through, and I had a bunch of look like audiences right now. We cover that in a different article, if you guys were like what the heck are looked like audiences, I can go through and cover That drop. A comment down below, if you’re, totally confused on that, and I can explain that in another article. But basically these look like audiences are like your your just your audiences.
So, instead of targeting people in texas or Florida, Okay, I’ve got look like audiences of people who have bought our software program or people have bought another one or a program. So There’s all these different audiences, and so, instead of going through and targeting all these audiences and creating new blank ads started completely from scratch. I want to go through and take those ads that already have bikes already had comments already had everything and Just kind of carry them over Like I have some ads that have almost 2,000 likes on those which that’s a lot of social proof right there like.
That is a ton where you know If somebody hits that sees that ad, like wow, hardly like almost 2,000 people have liked this They’re a lot more likely to go through and pay attention, as opposed to you know an ad that has absolutely no likes no comments, Because then, like Humans, just out of nature guys, They don’t want to be the first one to take action, They’re kind of scared, They’re, hesitant They’re, like whoa, I don’t know, and so that’s why.
I, like all these little social proof, things where you go to websites now. You know like have a little thing to pop up at the bottom. It’Ll say like hey this person just bought five minutes ago, or this person just bought ten minutes ago And then or if you’re liking a live event and there’s a seller on stage. They sell something, and then one person runs the back. It kind of triggers that up those other people to go through and run back to the back of the room to buy whatever they’re Selling right, Because, like no one’s right in the back, You don’t want to be that awkward person like you’re running the back.
We’Re like, let’s say you know you are in a live event or you’re in some room Someone’s like hey, who here Does this like? Who here, You know, Choose their food with their mouths open or something kind of weird. You don’t want to be that weird person like raising your hand, So it’s the same thing with all this stuff guys. That is the point of Facebook. That is the point of Instagram all these social networks and the social networks, Advertising platforms.
If you can get that social proof, unlike you know, Google banners, You can’t really see how many people are clicking on those banners. You can’t see any of that other stuff, And so this is huge guys. So this is a quick refresher. All you got to do. Is you hit preview on the ad? You pull it up, So it just shows this look at this. It’S just showing this app And then this is the post ID right here. We just copy that come back over here.
We use use existing posts, enter the post ID paste it in there submit, hit, publish and we are done. We are good to go So anyway, guys.

I actually right out of college, worked a job at Procter & Gamble, doing kind of hardcore web development stuff, and in a couple months I found myself working in on marketing campaigns and, as a result, by the time I graduated, I had a offer to be an Assistant brand manager, procter & gamble, so like really hardcore marketing in the largest company in the world, and so that was intimidating.
It was really scary. You know coming from an engineering background, coming from a programming back where you know what you’re talking about most of the time yeah and you can really kind of understand what you’re doing and use kind of fundamental ideas to make your job easier and going into a Business position – and you know not having my MBA that was very intimidating, and so it didn’t make sense for me to go to school to get a job already had.
And so I basically decided to give up on the credentialing part, but not on the education, and so I went to barnes a noble and the Cincinnati Public Library and I started reading right and six years later, I’ve read thousands of books and have kind of taken That jumble of information and made sense of that sense of it, which is the personal NBA first Llambias so and you’ve got a community that goes along with this website right there on the front of the cover personal NBA com.
That’S right! So you! Your mission is not just about doling out information as static form, but you actually have a community of people that you helped out actively and and helping helps each other out. So we have a community of thousands of people from all over world who are in the same situation. They may be a creative person or a programmer or designer or an architect, and they need the business knowledge, but they don’t need the piece of paper that says they theoretically know something, and so the purpose of the personal MBA is to help people understand the fundamentals Of business, but then to connect people from all over the world who are trying to get a world-class business education, but on their terms.
So do you do you deal with mostly like boots trappers or do you do you have advice for folks that want to seek funding kind of like it’s very common in the valley, one of the beats that we cover so so, what’s? What’S what’s your advice, I guess, or what what things you have to say to people that are in this, like kind of a bubbly atmosphere right now or money’s, getting handed out left and right? What are some of the things you tell them to look out for in that kind of environment in that kind of business totally.
I really advocate that anyone who’s trying to start a business, whether they’re, bootstrapping it or whether they’re trying to get funding for it. They really need to understand the fundamentals of what businesses and how it works. If you’re trying to raise money, the clearer you are about how the business will come together and make money the easier it will be to talk to a VC and show them a plan that makes sense and actually get the funding.
So really businesses have five parts. Every business create something of value, they attract attention which is marketing, they close sales transactions right, they deliver what they promise and they make more money than they spend enough to keep going right. That’S a business right, and so with a bootstrapper. I tell them basically start there, that’s essentially the basic, the the essentials of a very basic business plan and then, if you’re, trying to get funding, you take those fundamentals and just add on another layer which is.
This is going to be a solid business, but the people who are lending you money or giving you money and investment need to see a return, and so you do the math for them and the clear you can lay that out the more effectively you can stand In front of the VC and say this is a plan, that’s worth investing millions. So I imagine, since you’ve got your finger on the pulse of this this world of the you know the bootstrap and the startup guys.
So what are some of the new, because VC universe, the VC universe, has really changed in the last year or so really, maybe a couple years, definitely the last decade. So what has what has been the biggest new problems for folks that are trying to go that route that didn’t exist before yeah? I think it’s, some! The new problem is a couple decades ago. It’S like anything that might hypothetically make sense it.
You know, vc’s were making very large bets on very tenuous ideas and making a lot of them and hoping just a couple of them worked we’re getting a little bit more bubbly now, but vc’s really want to see a solid business model. Where are you charging or who are you selling to where’s the money coming in? What multiple can they expect on what what they have given and so the business fundamental stuff? It really never changes so you’re, saying, basically, is what I’m here using hearing you say is that business business sense is more important now than it may have been.
You can’t just be a great hacker with a dream totally totally. You have to have a plan to bring in revenue from real paying customers and the clear you can prove to vc that you have those the easier it will be to raise money very good and you got it. You’Ve got a book reading. Is it tomorrow with a is it yeah it’s tomorrow, at 4pm, in ballroom, g and i’ll be reading selections from the personal mba tomorrow being friday? We’Re recording this on thursday, we’re not sure when this will air so friday at ballroom G here South by Southwest.
Thank you thanks. So much take it easy.
Creating a business is not easy. Be sure that you thoroughly research what you will need before to know before you invest in your dream. An online presence is critical, and you should find a professional to take care of it. Website design packages are something you should look into right away.
Oh I love Thanksgiving all right. I am on a quick lunch break on Wednesday, heading back to Roadrunner Sports and guys in the 21st century. I fully believe that companies, including running shoe stores and running shoe companies, the ones that will survive and win in the modern world, because there’s so much competition out there now are the ones that emphasize customer service.
I love customer service. A couple days ago, an employee from Roadrunner sports reached out to me on Strava and said: hey, I saw your article about the levitate and the ugly sweater go, read it upper right hand corner. I liked this shoe in the store when I got home and I ran around the streets of Denver’s, for you know three miles the rubber through the midsole I just couldn’t get over it. I died. I don’t.
I can’t can’t do it, I can’t do it so she said come back in and we will take care of. You find a shoe that will help with your plantar fasciitis anyway. Here we go we’re going into the roadrunner sports. Thank you for taking care of me and it’s sad bah humbug, but they got to go back no, but I got a lump of coal in these guys, no they’re a great shoe and I’m sure there’s some levitate two fans out there, but you get you’re picking Up what I’m putting down art come on Patrick taking care of me? Oh, my goodness.
Okay, this one did not have the bongo 890 yep got. It did have the vongole. Okay, definitely worth a shot. Clifton, okay, huge success with plantar fascial tissues. Interesting yeah only knows that was like Jessica, okay and then you had mentioned so many shoes so little time what to do? What to do? I can’t even tell you YouTube that I was almost in tears running up and down here, cuz it because it felt no cuz.
It felt so good, no cuz the hoe. The cliff d5 felt so good, and this was Jessica’s recommendation because you had plantar a year ago, basically, okay and that went away. So I’ve also run in some Nikes recently as you’ve. Seen like I actually. I love the turbo right now and the plantar feels pretty good in it not perfect, but and then I guess I should also mention the I tried the Vaughn go today and I thought it felt similar to this.
It’S a little more stability but yep. It’S right here, don’t really feel that offset okay, you look at that, there’s so much more okay. So when you first try it on, you probably noticed like it feels a little stiffer, but as you get to running it, it’s really going to kind of guide you. This way, okay, and so that might especially because you’re running in neutral, so well yep. This might that’s interesting, but this is a really great guidance shoe for people who want that motion a little bit of motion control without being too aggressive, because it doesn’t have an actual medial post in it yeah it’s just this section of foam is a lot more Air padded, okay check guide you’re a little bit more to the outside.
If you usually tend to roll to the inside, when you got it and how does that? Compare to this guy says yeah yeah this one is just more fluid throughout. It doesn’t have as much concentrated, cushioning and support on this side of the shoe, so it’s just a little wider on the base throughout the bottom of the shoe, and it’s got that little bit of a meta, rocker yeah. So it’s just going to help your foot turn over a lot easier.
It takes a lot of the stress out of that plantar fascia region of your foot, because you’re not flexing so much in the shoe to toe off okay, it’s like yeah, I’m just trying to look. If you picture your foot, planting down barefoot and all the tendons are stretching your arches collapsing. This one will just cradle your foot more, it’s not going to let your foot flex so much. So it’s just can’t even tell you you like it was crazy how good it felt I was.
I told Patrick like I just I just shook his hand, because I was like so happy, so I think, but I probably leaned toward that guy. It is a lot of shoe you’re used to running in a lighter, faster shoe, like the beacon or the vapor fly, something that just gives you a lot more pop and a lot more ground feel you don’t get any ground feeling this shoe, but that’s why it’s So great for recovering some cleaner right and yeah, I use it as a trainer.
I haven’t raced in it or anything, but I’ve worn it. That’S when you sign up for our VIP club, we bring in too little celebration so yeah. So I’ve been running in this and wearing it to work, and you know walking on the concrete for eight hours. I just don’t feel anything, but I think this planter currently flared up it flared up in basically July and I think it flared up because I was running 40 nur’s and, like big, you know, mountain runs, Salomon shoes, very aggressive, not taking care of the feet enough.
I think that’s what caused it? Yes, yeah and if you’re doing all that Burt yeah – and I don’t know how yeah I mean that can that can really cause it a lot. I know that a lot of like mountain ultra runners have issues in their Achilles region. Just because you’re climbing so much and that’s so much torque through that heel and up into that soleus region yeah it’s kind of an avoidable and I’m not stretching enough and just you know, maintenance, yeah, doing the right kind of strength, work and exercise to keep that Strengthened enough to do all that climbing, so it’s what it’s November 23rd! No, what is it 21st, so I would the season for 2018 racing isn’t quite over so my break like I’m planning it.
Basically, a two-week break YouTube in December, but I don’t want to stop yet so I’m basically trying to push off the rest until basically like mid December. So I’m hoping that’s why I’m trying to experiment and figure out what yeah I mean. I would really try these just give him a chance and get used to him. Just because I mean I know that you know everybody’s different, but I’ve seen so many success stories with people recovering from planner in this kind of a shoe.
This maximum cushion just at least for recovering from the player, and then you can go kind of back to a lower volume shoe, but this is just I mean from my personal experience and from a lot of people have helped. This has done a really nice job. I mean so many stories of people just feeling better. Thank you for helping guys look at this. Look at this pile of shoes. They’Re! Not there there’s a lot of them cool you, guys Road Runner, Sports check them out wherever well, you’re, definitely on the west coast, because you started in San Diego, but also Chicago, I believe so good stuff Jessica.
Taking care of me. Thank You, Jessica. At Roadrunner, Sports, you’re, amazing, high five amazing right. She had planner. I have planner we’re going to figure this out. Thank you. Thank you. Oh my goodness, we got some goods guys. We got some goods for trade it in the levitate OU’s for the Hulk Eclipse and pies. Thank You Pratt thanks, Patrick yeah. You too go get Alex. Wow, hey!

Well, it’s always nice to you know you you runners, know like running. Solo can get a little lonely sometime. So a lot of miles a lot of time to think so, it’s nice to have someone to chat with found ground together. Hi. You never know what you’re going to find on your run. Look at this guy! What is he doing? Where is the owner? Where is the? Where is the owner? That is the question. The dog is ready for Halloween, that is hilarious.

Hope you guys have a good time at your turkey trot. I’M sure there’s going to be plenty of them, yeah all right man.

Oh, can anyone stretch like that? That’S insane, I I’m not even going to attempt cuz. I don’t want to embarrass myself. Hey I gained a little bit of my foot. I believe your some of your speed. I’Ve actually got I’ve actually improved in the last two weeks.
There it is there, it is okay. The key word of the day is service service, because today, at Roadrunner Sports, I received incredible service from Patrick and from Jessica. Thank you both for taking care of me today with my plantar fasciitis issues. Guys again, I’m not exaggerating too much when I say I was almost in tears at the store because I ran around in this shoe pain-free pain-free. So I’m not going to give you my initial impressions tonight, I’m going to run around in it probably tomorrow afternoon.
After the turkey trot – probably Friday, probably Saturday, Sunday, Monday Tuesday, I’m excited Thank You Jessica for taking care of me today for explaining taking the time you guys saw it in the store. She took the time to lay out the details of the bongo, the New Balance. Bongo and the Hoka clifton v she crossed compared the to the specs, the different type of ride, you’re going to get underfoot, and I am just I’m grateful.
I’M going on this Thanksgiving Eve and Thanksgiving Day when you’re reading this I’m grateful for the opportunity to shop at running shoe stores. Now I do have a confession to make. I have a confession to make occasionally, occasionally I order stuff from running warehouse all right and listen. I’Ve got nothing against running warehouse. You know they’re a business, they got to make money, but at the end of the day I try to support local running shoe stores and therefore the question of the day is this: what is your go-to running shoe store that you shop at, because I asked that Question and why why do you shop at that particular store service, location pricing, the employees race series, all these different factors that go into running shoe selection? So why? What what is your go-to running shoe store and why do you go there? Now, okay, like I grew up in Buena Vista Colorado, two hours away from any running shoe store so in high school, like we had to drive to you, know to the big city to go, get our running shoes and yeah.
It was a little bit of a challenge. Now you can order shoes online, but obviously, but getting into a running shoe store where you can test the shoe before you buy. It is critical. It’S critical for us runners, you know like when you put on a shoe in a store and it’s got the right fit. It’S a heaven on earth, you’re, singing Alleluia and therefore that’s how I felt when I put on the hokey Clifton 5, and so that’s why? I’M giving the shout out a big shadow continued shout out to Roadrunner Sports, we’re taking the time again to explain this shoot to me.
So that’s the question of the day. Thank you for answering. I love running shoe stores. I don’t know about you, but I just love frankly like hanging out in there and just talking geeking out on running shoes. Alright, I digress. Happy Thanksgiving, have a great turkey trot if you’re out there trotting today and yes enjoy some pumpkin pie. I know I will and of course we will be back tomorrow with results for the turkey trot.
So oh, the paper fly for percents they’re, going to be they’re going to be coming out again. You know they will be alright. Seek beauty work hard, each other

Maybe you haven’t hit that first hundred or first thousand or even first ten thousand and in my opinion SoundCloud is still going to be super valuable. So this article is all about how you can gain traction and gain followers on SoundCloud in 2019. Let’S go so it’s 2019 and streaming is becoming more and more popular for music.
There’S SoundCloud, there’s Spotify, there’s Apple music. There’S all these different platforms. However, in my opinion, SoundCloud is still one of the most vital ones, because in a lot of ways it’s still the only kind of social network of music. You have Spotify, you have all these other ones, but SoundCloud is the only one where you can really comment. Communicate interact with your fans, interact with artists, you want to message and be in contact with, and I still think SoundCloud is still very valid.
It’S still very good, and you know who knows two months from now six months from now they could figure their stuff. Oh and they could still become one of the most popular platforms for music, especially underground music. So let’s just get into these ten tips now the first one doesn’t have to do with SoundCloud itself has to do with you and its quality. The quality of your music is going to be absolutely vital for standing out on SoundCloud SoundCloud.
You have to just dig through a constant pile of crap and, in my opinion, the only music that is going to continuously hook. People in is high quality music. Now, I’m not saying you have to be Skrillex or phlume or Diplo, or you know any of these levels of musicians. But what I recommend doing is listen to listening to your favorite artists, artists. You aspire to sound like or you think you sound like and really objectively try and look at it and see if you are 80 % as good as they are.
I would say to succeed on Soundcloud and to stand out. You really have to be at least 80 % as good as the people you aspire to sound like, and if you don’t honestly, I think you’ll just get forgotten and your music will quickly fall into the pile and you’re not going to stand out. And it’s just going to be a lot of effort when I think spending that time on social media could be better spent on trying to grow your skills versus that so step one before you really even think about getting yourself on soundcloud.
I would make sure your music is about 80 % as good as those of you aspire to sound like quality. So you can put your best foot forward now. Tip number two goes into the whole quality versus quantity debate and it comes down to quantity or more so consistency. I think consistency is very important. A song has a specific lifespan and it’s actually starting to get shorter and shorter. But what I mean by that and what I mean by the lifespan of a track is say: you put out a new track well over the course of say a month and even a short is now three weeks even two weeks, even one week in the day And age of music, we live in it kind of has a lifespan where you gain all this traction, maybe get YouTube.
Support blog support, support from your friends. You gain this new attention for it, you gain these followers. You gain these fans, you gain these listens and it reaches a peak and then it quickly steeply starts to cut off and the track quickly becomes forgotten for the most part in this day and age of music. Unless, of course, it’s a masterpiece and it’s a it’s a very standout song, but for the most part musics just going to go up, have a lifespan and it’s going to go down now.
If you’re, putting one song out every two months, you’re not going to stand out and you’re going to quickly be forgotten, just think about you as a listener. How many new artists are always on your radar, new music and how many of them to you really stand out and are ones you keep going back to and very likely it’s only the ones where they’re constantly in your face constantly providing you with a new song And for personally, I’m just speaking personally here, it takes about 4 to 5 songs from artists for that to kind of click in my head and be like.
Oh, I like this artist. This is an artist. I want to follow and pay attention to say. For example, I don’t know an artist I I recently fell in love with would be like bad computer, whose releases a lot on monstercat. I heard one song of his. I really liked it and I gave him a follow in the hopes that maybe he’ll put out more stuff that I’ll really like. And luckily I followed him around the time where he started to consistently release on monstercat, probably once a month, and those songs were just constantly on my radar, like good new song, good new song, good new song and that solidified him to me.
As one of my favorites, while there could be another artist where they put out a single and it’s like one of the best singles I’ve ever heard, but if they don’t put something out, I’m going to quickly forget about them and not consider them. One of my favorites one of those go-to artists, one of those artists that, if they played in my town, I’d, want to go see or one of those artists that I’d follow on Soundcloud form or I would eventually go through my soundcloud followers and be like.
Oh, I got the single from this person, I’m not going to follow them anymore unfollow, so you need a really good balance of quality and consistency, and it might take a while to get to that point where your skills are at the point where you can write At least one quality song and release it per month, but I recommend the quicker you can do that. The quicker that, consistent that that lifespan can build on itself, because once your track hits the peak of its plays and follows, then you drop that next track and every all those new people who just start paying attention to you are going to listen to that new Song and it’s going to keep going up, you’re going to keep going up instead of kind of getting a bunch of new followers and some of them disappearing or not interacting with your work anymore.
So number two was consistency. Now number three is a little less useful in 2019, but I still wouldn’t rule it out and that is download gates. Now, if you don’t know how to download gate, a download gate is a website in a a technique that you can use to set up a download for your song, where, when someone downloads your song, instead of asking for money, you ask for some sort of social Currency and that could be a SoundCloud follow.
That could be a Facebook light, and in this case, because we’re doing SoundCloud follows in SoundCloud growth, you do it for a SoundCloud follow, maybe even a repost, maybe even a comment, because a bunch of comments on your track will make it look really good and give Social proof to the fact that your track is worth listening to and people like it, so those are going to be websites like the artist Union tone.
Den hive fan gate, there’s there’s so many right now, they’re so easy to set up, and it’s it’s really as easy as you set up a download gate for a track go to any of those websites, easy breezy. And then, when someone wants to download your track, they’ll have to like it repost it follow you, and hopefully that repost and that follow will either lead them to listening to more of your music in the future or that repost getting the attention of others and the Reason I say it’s still valuable is even though the average listener is probably just streaming your track, putting it in a playlist putting it in their favorites DJs and people who still like to collect songs on their computer, primarily DJ’s are still going to want to download Your music, I know myself whenever I have a show coming up.
I probably download like a hundred new songs, and I have to go through those download gates pretty much for every single one I buy very little music or maybe a third to a quarter while most of the music I’m still going through a download gate to acquire. So this is going to be super beneficial because you’re going to get reposts you’re going to get likes, you can get favorites, maybe even comments, and it can take a track that has no traction and if it’s good enough people will download it and it will get Traction so I recommend still using to download gates in 2019.
Now the next technique is using download gates for stuff other than music and providing values, and what I mean by that is: yes: you’ll have DJ’s that use download gates, but that’s still very few. However, one way down low gates are still really valuable is to provide some sort of value for your audience or prospective audience, be it through a sound through a sample pack. Maybe you write a blog that can only be accessed through a download gate.
So what you can do is you can create a really desirable item, property of some sort, sample, packs presets inside look article. I could you can get really creative with it and you can actually put it behind a download gate where someone has to use a download gate to access it, and this is actually how I got a lot of my following and how cymatics the company I used To work for gained a ton of their following is where, if you want to download a sample pack, if you want to download preset something like that, you have to use a download gate or stems.
If someone wants to remix your song or something like that, they have to use this download gate and for me that gets way more downloads than a song to a download gate. So tip number four is provide value for your audience and put that behind it download Gate where they have to then follow you repost it or something like that now tip number five for growing. Your soundcloud is going to be repost trading or joining repost circles.
Now there’s two sort of different things here. The first is repost trading, where you can go to websites which I think like repost Network or things like that, where you can essentially put your song up on there and you can kind of get asked for a bid. Essentially that where someone can offer to repost it for you reposting one of their songs and the reason I say bid, because a lot of times has to do with how many followers you have so like.
I have a SoundCloud with 15k, so I can ask an account with 15k to do a trade, for example, and then I just you know, select their song hit, yes, make an offer. If we agree, I don’t even have to do any of the work it’ll actually manually, do it for you for 24 hours, so if you’re, really new to SoundCloud using these websites to just create all these repost trades and get songs to repost is really useful because Reposting on Soundcloud is, in my opinion, one of the best things and worse things about it and my opinion kind of ruins SoundCloud because it kind of ruined your feed and it ruined the cleanliness of just following people.
You like, however, I’m not going to avoid the elephant in the room I’m going to take advantage of it, so I’m going to use websites like that to set up these repost networks. Now, on top of that, you can also set up repost networks with your friends. If you have friends who are all producers create, like a a group, chat a discord, something like that, where every time one of you releases a song, all of you are going to repost it periodically, and that way you can join forces with your friends, and everyone Gets each other’s support every time you put out a song cuz, it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere and it can be just a great way to start snowballing and get the attention you want that you yourself may not have with a brand new or very small Soundcloud, the next tip is going to be using your other social media.
Now this may seem very obvious, but using your Twitter, your Facebook, your Instagram, your snapchat, to push a song when it when it’s out is very beneficial. Now my main order word of advice here, though, is to grow those social media or social media separately, and not just making those a self promotional platform. You want to give people a reason to follow your Facebook, a reason to follow your Instagram, a reason to follow your Twitter, so you want to be providing value content on those platforms that isn’t just always here’s my soundcloud link, here’s my soundcloud link because nothing is Going to get you unfollowed or liked quicker, however, that being said, those social medias are going to be a great way to just get that initial traction, especially your personal Facebook account, because your other social media is probably going to be as small as your soundcloud or Within the same range, but your personal Facebook has your friends and they already interact with you and communicate with you not to mention you can private message: people you can private message.
Your best friends give them a song, ask them for support and, if you’re fairly new, to growing a sound fairly new to growing social media over all your friends are very likely to support you now. Someone like me, who’s been at it for five years. If I sent people links they’re so tired of seeing it, so it’s probably not very effective, but this tutorial isn’t for people who have been on South Club for five years.
This is people who are just growing and some people who are pretty much starting 2018-2019 so use your other social media to grow your soundcloud. The next tip is going to be YouTube promotional blogs to grow your soundcloud, so on YouTube. There are tons of blogs that exclusively upload other people’s music and what you can do, every time you put out a song is you can connect with these blogs? They usually have submission emails in their About section, collect dozens of them in a spreadsheet email them all.
Personally, one by one, and even if just one picks it up, and they include your download gate in the description say, your song got a thousand to ten thousand plays on one of these blogs, which is very realistic. You know some of these blogs can do very well and, let’s even just be conservative, let’s say you got a thousand plays, even if one percent of that thousand decided to actually download the song.
So one in a hundred plays that’s still ten more followers than you had the day before, and ten followers is a big deal. You shouldn’t take that for granted. So using YouTube’s promotional networks to actually get your music heard is very beneficial and I recommend using a promo strategy and having a promo plan every time you release a song or maybe you’re, hitting them up two weeks before you’re telling them hey my songs.
Coming out. This date, would you be interested you’re, starting to communicate with these people and find out who they are on a personal level. Building connections with them YouTube is still a very valid way of promoting music in 2019, and I still highly recommend it, especially with YouTube music becoming a thing where now people will actually be listening to and streaming music through YouTube music specifically and then, if they ever Choose to download it or see your name and like it it’ll probably convert.
However many even however little will convert to followers on Soundcloud. The next step is going to be joining the community. So one of the things I was preaching in the beginning that I like about SoundCloud, is it still very much a social network you’re still very much communicating reposting, commenting private messaging, all these things and if you join the community and you start to find artists and Participate in their work, they’re so much more likely to check yours.
Oh now, I’m not recommending to go to you know a huge producer and spam their song with comments to check out your work, but I recommend finding musicians around your level and giving them really constructive. Creative or kind feedback that you truly mean listen to their music, tell them what you liked about it tell them what you think maybe check out a couple of their songs. Don’T ever ask them to check out yours, but just be a part of the community and participate in their work and you’re more likely to build a community and have people to start to connect with yours, one of my best friends in the world, Sam winter him And I actually met on soundcloud and he’s actually from Ottawa, and this was back when you’re both started, and I was doing just that.
Every day I was like grinding, I was just like finding music and I was participating. I was communicating, he was one of them. We started private messaging years later. He moved to live with me in Vancouver and we started a business. I eventually worked for cymatics and lived together for like a year and a half, so you never know you know. Being part of the community is a great way to just start to build your inner circle and just really grassroots connect and build a community from the ground up and lastly, I recommend branding and when I say branding I mean really perfecting how your soundcloud looks.
You want really clean links, a really clean bio, taking advantage of the image and the header on top of it, having a really good name. That’S really easy for people to search and remember memorable song names that are probably related and ideally even a consistent, sound or style. Now, if you’re still really new musician, you may still be finding that so don’t hurt yourself and beat yourself up too much about finding that.
However, I just really recommend the sooner you build a brand. You build a consistent, sound, a style and aesthetic something that really sticks in people’s minds when they see it. It’S going to help people want to follow you and will recognize your song in their feed and are more likely to check it out again later, so there we go guys. That was ten tips on how you can grow a SoundCloud in 2019. I still think SoundCloud is very valid and even if you’re just starting from Ground Zero, now it’s never too late and there’s still a lot of tips and tricks.
You can get to get that first hundred, first thousand, even first ten thousand followers on soundcloud. So I hope you guys got a lot out of this tutorial. I know it’s different than my typical music production tutorial. So if you liked it, let me know, I hope you guys got a lot out of it.
