And what can you learn from his journey that you can apply to that side, hustle, you’re thinking about launching or that business you’ve been trying to grow a lot? So, just in case I get to a point that you already know you can find the time queue for each section down in the description to jump ahead.

It tells the algorithm to short article to more people, and it gets us that much closer to hitting our goal of becoming the first woman led business blog with more than 1 million subscribers and, of course, a quick shout out to Patti Galloway for inspiring this article.

With his own, why, mr. Beast is a genius article masterfully done and we will be referencing some of his points moving forward now, as of this recording, mr. Beast has 4.5 billion with the B views 720 articles and makes around half a million dollars a month on Youtube, so where do we even begin? Do we start with him giving away 1 million dollars this past December, or do we start with him giving away a bunch of cars at a free car dealership he created in one of his articles? We start at the very beginning, which I know will be a great lesson for anyone that is still searching for their passion.

Here’s what mr Beast earlier articles look like not yet what’s up guys and welcome to episode one of my minecraft letsplay, the seed I use for this world is my name and we spawned here. There’s 4 is a village and yeah that’s this is you know the world I’m starting to? Let’s play it’s nothing like his more recent article, where he’s giving away tons of cash, but it’s important that you see the fact that he just started with something that interested him minecraft, and this is what led him to discover his passion for creating viral content.

Now, if you’re still searching for your passion, pay attention, did somebody say now here are the four steps to finding your passion? One curiosity, hmm. Can I do that to interest? That’s the next step, while you’re learning about your theme, three action now you’re, not just talking and just planning you are being about it. You are doing the thing which will always bring you to step four passion, and this step is actually a question.

Am I willing to continue doing my thing in pursuit of becoming the best in the world at it and if I never reach that goal, will I be satisfied that I pursued it? If the answer is yes, you found your passion. If not, you’ve got to get curious and start the process all over again. Just those four steps now back to mr. Beast, he set out to become a gaming commentary blog because this was his area of interest.

Then taking action is what led him to discover his passion for creating viral content, and he is now one of the best in the world at it just check the trending page. If he’s posted recently, his article is right up there at the top. Now, let’s talk about the business side of him, starting which will keep relatively short because what started with an iPhone 5 and then I got an iPhone which then, because I had a Windows Phone which only recorded like 480.

I couldn’t record so once I got iPhone after over four years of like all this stuff, then I started recording myself and I moved a little bit away from gaming and then I was able to buy a camera, and but I got like 200,000 subscribers with, like An iPhone 5 has evolved into this. You want to know what I just realized: we’re giving away a million dollars. How much does a million dollars way? I think that’s like two thousand pounds.

It’s a ton literally. We didn’t even plan that anyways. Yes, this is by far our most expensive article, a million dollars Plus this everything in here. This is going to cost like 1.2 million dollars. I won’t be able to feed you for a few months, so I can going on a diet. If you end up winning you’ll get a hundred grand of your guys million dollars – oh yeah, so you should, you should go, make sure he wins.

Then! Okay seriously, though, I can’t believe we’re spending a million dollars on this article. That’s so much money, it’s just crazy! Cuz! Three years ago I was making nothing off this blog and now we’re literally giving away a million dollars like what happened. You get a job. You set aside a little bit each month until you have what you need to invest in your business. Then you roll the money you make back into it: no loans, no investment, just you or him investing in your project and growing that project or side hustle with the money it generates.

Honestly, it is the only way you should be starting a business as a new entrepreneur, the only way. Otherwise, you will make really stupid decisions with other people’s money, because you haven’t been forced to innovate and figure out issues at their core because throwing money at something is almost never the answer. But when you’re starting out that’s what you’ll do you have the growth stages? A term used in business to describe the stage where a new company is growing rapidly fast to get more customers and develop a better product without worrying too much about being in profit.

Mr. Beast applies the same concept to his YouTube blog, which I find to be a fascinating model and a very clever move, pretty much all the money. Mr. Beast has made from his articles up until this point has been reinvested into making even better articles, so he set up shop by bootstrapping. You saw that old minecraft article. He could have waited for better equipment and he could have waited for this or that, but instead he started with what he had and when he started making money.

He rolled that back into his business to fuel its growth and built his subscriber base up to 200,000. With just an iPhone, I can’t tell you how much I respect that he is 100 % a self-made man, and it could be that he was just smart enough to know not to blow his profits on himself, but I also think it’s just that he cared about His viewers so much: why? Wouldn’t he reinvest the money, they were, helping him make into better quality and a better experience that part cannot be taught in the book that genuine concern and focus on the viewer that comes from the heart is what makes him a genius which brings us to part 3, you content.

Now I touched on this earlier. Mr. B’s made about 400 articles to reach 10,000 subs, which is a lot of articles and not the quickest growth, but when he shifted his focus to making content about other people and about what his audience was actually searching for that changed. Everything as the inspiration for this article, Patti Galloway, explains it was when he first started, making articles on trending topics and other large youtubers that he really started to see his first traction.

He realized that, to be quite honest, people didn’t care about who he was back. Then he had to talk about topics. People did care about first. This is quite commonly called trend jacking within the YouTube community. So how can you apply this as a side, hustler or business owner? The only way you get paid is, if you serve and while you might love making salmon and sweet potato pie, if no one is interested justice, sweet potato pie, my mom used to make that every Christmas my feet.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=04OojAZm_DU

So you still do what you love baking. Only your focus is on giving the people what they actually want to pay for and when you eventually build your brand and customer base, you can start experimenting and serve up that salmon and sweet potato pie, but not until you show up to serve your audience what They actually want first, okay, so we cover the start. We’ve covered his first growth strategy now his viral article strategy, we’re about to dive into this is what keeps this genius paid to understand his strategy and why it works.

You got ta understand a few things about how this YouTube platform works. Yeah. We are talking about the all-powerful, Oh mysterious YouTube, all mysticism aside in, in its simplest way, to explain it if you can get people to click on your articles and sit through them. The algorithm could reward you by showing your article to more people. So that’s your click-through rate and your read time. You increase read time by increasing billing from your articles and providing enough value in the article that people don’t click out.

You increase click-through rate with an irresistible thumbnail and title. Take this article, for example, with 29 million views from 4 freakin weeks ago last. To take his hand off 1 million dollars keeps it that is an irresistible title and thumbnail, and the entire idea of that article is to get you to read all 15 minutes to see who wins. This wouldn’t work. If I posted it because y’all know I would just be click baiting, you cuz, I ain’t giving away back.

That’s not what happened, but this is his brand and people stick around because they know he delivers on the promise he’s making on that thumbnail and in that title. So how does this apply to non youtubers? If you have a business, your thumbnail and your title is your brand’s appearance, name and messaging: is it irresistible or does it feed into all of your competition? How can you make your brand stand out on its first impression with someone in my wholesale beauty, business? Our unique proposition is that we help you start your own hair business for free and we provide a ton of free training for anyone interested and we deliver on that promise.

There are thousands of hair vendors out there, but I’m the only one showing up with a face behind a brand that is willing to serve, and that’s why it’s a seven-figure business in just one year. Now, what takes him and his business from just being suggested by the algorithm to going insanely final back to pay in general? Viral articles are based around a few central themes. Most of our articles can be placed into at least one of these categories.

They are money-related in some phone reaction based pranks challenges, drama related or they feature other popular youtubers, whether that be in their title or an actual collaboration. The really clever thing mister bestows, though, is the fact that he blends multiple different viral themes into one article now in your business. Instead of money related, we can use the term value related. Can you clearly convey the value your potential customers can walk away with if they choose, you reaction show us customer testimonials from real people challenges.

How can you frame your offer into a challenge? Your customer would be willing to step up to form my business. Wait. Legal extensions, our challenge is, we know you want more freedom and more money. We will give you the tools. Now. Are you willing do the work to change your own life? Now? Isn’t that more powerful that kind of get these bundles it is and that instead of featuring large youtubers use influencers in your niche to borrow brand from them and increase your visibility and drama? That’s pretty straightforward, not at the ANA drama in my business! But if you can instead drum up some excitement and curiosity about what you’re offering that’s better than moving in silence and finally pranks, I do not play about my business and neither should you so we can save that one for the youtubers.

Why don’t I even deeper? Of course I’ve got more articles coming so hit subscribe, so you don’t miss a thing and hit like to activate the algorithm and get it to show this article to more people. So what you try and get on that mystery piece level? Yes, now you can also sign up for my live monthly business coaching. It’s only 5 bucks a month link down in the description and up next, I’m sharing the tax advice you can’t afford to miss, and I know taxes can be a little dry or mixing things up a little.

So everything you just heard is why mr. Bies is a genius entrepreneur and those are lessons that you can apply to your journey – hit subscribe building this blog to a million subscribers is the only focus and goal for my team in 2020. Why? Because there are no female-led business blogs with more than a million subscribers and representation matters to all the little girls out there, that only read YouTube, which is all of them.

They need to see themselves in these boxy positions, so they can know it’s a real, tangible possibility before you head up hit subscribe, see you in the next article

6 reasons why social media is for food and beverage brand building and not for sales!

Social media is constantly changing. It used to be a one-to-many blog brands would publish links, photos and articles On digg, delicious reddit and later facebook, twitter, pinterest and instagram and could Drive a high number of leads and sales when we first started using social media. There was less content, less noise and people were willing to click on almost everything.

They saw in their news feeds then, like we always do. The marketers showed Up and we ruined a good thing. Sorry, if that offends you social media, marketers Out there, but the truth is the truth. Anytime, we get a beautiful thing. It’s very Often marketers and advertisers that ruin it. There is now way more content on social media. Platforms than folks can consume and a huge amount of that content is sales driven posts.

And ads if a post doesn’t look organic, interesting or useful people now just scroll right past It as traffic sources, twitter, facebook, instagram, And pinterest have become so challenging to drive organic traffic from that it’s now. Rare to find a brand that can use social media solely as an organic source for leads and Sales, the organic clicks are just so much harder. To come by now, social media is now a one-to-few blog.

It’s only the brands who can afford to create Ridiculously amazing content or who cultivate one-to-one relationships with their fans, can Succeed organically: it’s the brands and companies who provide Personalized social media experiences for their fans that are succeeding on social media And please know in this context I am talking 100 % about organic authentic relationships. This has nothing to do with paid promotions.

Paid posts or ads on social media platforms pay to play is the reality on facebook and Instagram now and all the social media platforms have advertising platforms available for those Who can integrate paid into their marketing mix and can afford them? You can still kind of get decent organic growth. On platforms like pinterest, twitter, YouTube and linkedin…, but don’t count on that forever. Either With that said, let’s talk about six reasons: That engagement is the future of social media.

Social media is often seen as a solution to Every marketing problem: it’s fine for certain aspects of marketing; Like brand awareness, but here’s a little truth for you, social Media is not going to help you achieve every business or marketing goal that you have. If you aren’t diversified with your marketing. Mix you need to get on that yesterday. I’m talking about that email list. That’s collecting! Dust in your mailchimp account and that sad SEO consultant who you stopped inviting to Your weekly meetings, because you we too busy working with pseudo-influencers, who don’t Actually move any needles, social media influencers are the fyre fest Of marketing.

.., i’m just going to put that out there and let it fester… Still many people still want to know how Social media relates to driving traffic buckle up. Here’s a little more truth for You organic social media is not going to be a good traffic driver for most brands. Today, Or for the foreseeable future spraying and praying with your marketing messages. Across various platforms might have been an effective way to drive clicks from digg reddit And delicious, but it’s just not an effective strategy anymore with the platforms we’re Focused on and for me, that’s just fine, because I’ve always used social media as an engagement.

Blog, not a lead generation tool. Now, if you can get your head right with this And if you can quit expecting to move mountains in a week, it can open up some great new opportunities. For you, that can give you an advantage over your competition. For instance, customer service is well-served. Via blogs, like facebook, messenger, instagram, direct and twitter direct message, consumers are heading to these blogs.

1St In many cases to be heard by brands, they buy from and you’d be wise to embrace it with Them social media is the first place a lot of people. Turn to for customer support and more and more people are using social Media to get help from brands folks are not only using private social media. Blogs such as facebook, messenger, instagram, direct messages or twitter direct messages, To reach brands for help, people also leave comments on posts on facebook.

& instagram and reply to tweets to get help think about this being responsive on social Media prompts customers to purchase while ignoring customers does what you might Imagine it brings about less brand loyalty from customers. That’s enough evidence to make you care about. How customer service in integral to social media and if it doesn’t well, you might be dead. Inside I think about all the opportunities that have Been opened up to me by just having a conversation with a potential customer, whether they’re Mad sad happy upset whatever it is, there’s so many opportunities to provide more Value, it’s easier to help your customers on social Media, so you have no excuse not to be doing this, and the platforms are aware of this as they Are developing more customer service tools every day to help brands respond to their Customers, you want some examples, you can let customers send you a direct message.

On twitter, without them needing to follow you or you needing to follow them, you can send automated welcome direct messages. On twitter and prompt folks with the best ways to reply, you can manage all of your facebook messenger And instagram interactions in one unified inbox, you can use smart replies to automatically Answer frequently asked questions for your facebook page organic reach on social media has fallen so Low that social media has become a less viable blog for traffic across the board for most Brands brands are reaching fewer folks on social Media and getting less traffic from social media PERIOD, many big brands have seen a huge fall in facebook.

Referral traffic, in particular some by 75 % or more, the amount of content on social media has Increased to a point where it’s well beyond what we can consume, each social media post is less and less likely. To be seen over the past couple years, we’ve seen a 10X Increase in posting from brands because they are trying to break through the noise of all The additional content being posted, but people simply cannot consume more content.

Consider this as a weak example with math If 100 posts are published per day for every social media user, but each user can only consume 10 posts per day, each post has a 10 % chance of being seen now, if the number of posts published per Day increases to 1,000, but each user can only consume the same 10 posts per day. Each Post now only has a 1 % chance of being seen because of… Math. This is, in effect, what Has happened to organic content on social media over the last few years, facebook organic reach fell to about 4 % throughout 2016-2017 and is now well well under 1 % per post, because facebook continues to tweak its Algorithm to prioritize posts from family and friends over brand pages, so social media is losing its potential as An organic traffic blog as more and more content is posted on each platform by brands.

Who are posting more content, so their content can possibly break thru. The additional noise From content being posted by other brands, who are posting more content, so their content, Can possibly break thru the additional noise from content being posted by other brands? Who are posting more content, so their content can possibly break thru. The additional noise From content being posted by other brands, who are posting more content, so their content, Can possibly break thru the additional noise from content being posted by other brands? Who are posting more content, so their content can possibly break thru.

The additional noise From content being posted by other brands, who are posting more content so…, the point is organic traffic from social Media has been going down for years, you’re just not going to get the reach or Visibility, you did in the past as brands and marketers. You have no choice but to adapt. While social media has been the dominant platform. Over the last 5 to 10 years, social messaging apps like facebook, messenger and instagram Direct are growing much faster than social media platforms.

There are now more folks using the top four Messaging apps than people using the top four social media sites, the rise of social messaging signifies a change In folks’ behaviors and preferences towards more personal one-to-one communications, when folks view social media, they are no Longer, just thinking about the posts on their news, feed, they’re, also thinking about reaching Your business for customer support through twitter receiving timely information or ordering Products through a facebook, messenger chatbot and all the other communications that come Through these messaging apps brands that only push out marketing content, On social media will miss out on this massive opportunity to serve customers in meaningful Ways and might be left obsolete on social media engagement is a key indicator of the quality Of your content, does your content elicit positive responses? From your fans for the social media platform, algorithms to prioritize your content to be Seen and heard on social media organically, you must create content that engages your Fans the number of engagements on your social media Posts highly influences the number of people who will see them if lots of folks engage with your content.

The platform algorithm will take it as a sign that your post is interesting and will more Likely show that post to more people, I learned a long time ago that the shorter Path to success is learning what those who you depend upon for your success need to be Successful themselves and to help them get there, so it might help for you to step into the Shoes of the platform for just a second: what do you think they need to be successful? They need attention and eyeballs.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-yEQmoad1nU

They need people to linger on that page where They are displaying ads, they need people to be captive to their platform. Now what keeps users captive on their platform? So they can sell more ad space. I’ll give you one guess…! It’s interesting! Engaging content, if you go look deeper into this and study The search algorithms on these different sites, you’ll get a lot more information, but to boil it down if there are just a few Interactions or a lot of negative interactions on a piece of your content: the social media Algorithms will assume that it’s uninteresting irrelevant or not useful and show it to fewer Folks, so the more positive interactions on your Post, the more people you will reach on social media, ok.

… I feel like i’m beating a dead horse. At this point either you get that or you don’t if, after this explanation, your ultimate goal – On social media is still, traffic leads or conversions. It’s tough for the average brand But if you break it down to what’s going to drive, traffic leads and conversions, it’s still Engagement, that’s your top priority. It’s not rocket science here, folks, the more Interactions, a brands content has overall the higher the traffic to its website.

So how do we get there if you think about The kind of posts that get interactions you can’t be lazy and just post a bunch of links. You have to do everything you possibly can To get those interactions and engagements up and that’s a new article i’ll need to make if there isn’t a strong direct revenue from Social media, why waste your time? The primary reason to be on social media is To build your brand through engagement, brand-building is important because a customer’s Journey with brands is almost never linear.

Most customers rarely go from an instagram Post to your website from the link in your profile, ( by the way “ link in profile”, is A joke cut it out. ) then, to your checkout to purchase it’s more. Like someone hears about your product, Through a friend on the same day that customers sees your facebook, Posts enjoys the content later they reference about you in a blog post, the following week, the customer searches on Google and see your brand via a retargeted ad, maybe they recognize your brand and tweet You a question about your products, you replied to them promptly and then they Decide to order the product from your website now this is a simplified version of an actual Customer journey, but it’s still a good frame of reference next.

… Why else is social media? Important 85 % of folks have to see something on social Media more than once before they will purchase it, but don’t overdo it. They will also unfollow You, if you post too many promotional messages, so that’s a delicate balance there by engaging your customers through timely Customer support one-to-one conversations and interesting or helpful content. You can Strengthen your brand image, then, when these customers are deciding, if They should purchase or continue to purchase from you, this brand equity that you’ve built Up can help win them over social media interactions, increase customer Loyalty, consumers who engage with their favorite brands On social media have stronger relationships with those brands than consumers who don’t Engage at all, they have a better opinion of the brand they Leave more positive reviews, they stay loyal and keep being paying customers longer and Then also they recommend the brands more to others and that third-party validation is gold for A brand when customers trust your brand they’re more Likely to give you their email address, attend a live event or purchase your product when You ask them to Subscriptions stroke, my ego and they also Go a long way to increase my discoverability here on the Youtube.

AI for social good: Neil Sahota, WW Business Development Leader, Watson Group, IBM

We actually seen a proliferation across almost every industry, so actually see artificial intelligence or to be used in like media entertainment in a talent management like human resources in sports management.

So it’s running the gambit, where we’ll be four or five years from now. To be honest, I don’t know I liken it to kind of like the iPhone that no one could really predicted how much it would change our lives. The you know the profession of apps. I all I will say is that 10 years from now pretty much every product or service will have some component of artificial intelligence to it. So this is a great question.

I think you know everyone will tell. You is probably mix of good and bad to it. We’re primarily emphasized it good, and I think the ultimate thing with artificial intelligence is the ability to actually even remove this whole micro segmentation provide a more personalized experience and that could be advertising, but it can also be healthcare. Thinking about that, you can now prescribe the right. You know drug for treatment, app for you, based on your genetics based on your age, health, history and appropriate.

It does so. I think this will be quite the game-changer and I think in terms of socialization. Hopefully, it will free up people to work on more complex tasks. More talk, more complex type of thinking, just progress, the human experience. That’s a good question. I mean our goal is not to take away jobs. Well, some jobs be automated, probably, and we’ve already seen some of that like in the fast food industry, but not because of AI.

I think we have to do is prepare ourselves for jobs of tomorrow. I think we’re moving away from like, if you were think peer requirements to more interactions. How do we actually test those types of things? How do we actually come up with these great ideas? I think for the future people for future workers tomorrow, the photos have to be more on one of these. We called machine learning, cognitive thinking as well tell this type of skills.

I think the ability to think critically and actually come up with new ideas and do deeper analysis is, what’s really going to be the driving force. Absolutely right. This is all cutting-edge. It’s new stuff, we’re learning things as we go forward. I think that we need policies. We need you know, a standard set of best practices so that we’re all working towards the same goal and to make sure that we are doing things that are for benefit of society, not just kind of random events.

I I think that there’s some obviously feeders out there, maybe some are justified. Some are unjustified. Change is hard for everybody, but could some of this stuff being misused potentially, depending on what people really do? I mean we’re. Obviously, we as IBM are not trying to do in these things, but I think we do need. We need some levels of standards, some levels regulations again so that we’re on the same page that there’s a unified understanding of what’s appropriate and not appropriate to use artificial intelligence for sure absolutely so, responsible, XPrize competition.

So we’re really trying to get people to think more about the you know: artificial intelligence of the next wave, and so we’re working here to actually figure out what those big ideas big products actually be and to motivate them, obviously offering the XPrize we’re partnering with IT. We’re partnering with Ted to try and facilitate the understanding, the awareness and the building of these ideas.

Starting a business is not easy! Think about who will be working on your digital image. Hiring a good webmaster will help!

I Analysed Your Amazon FBA Listing! – Serious Improvements NEED To be Made!

Okay and there’s a lot to talk about with this listing, and so I’m going to, and if this listing is yours, brilliant this listing isn’t yours, then this article, it’s still super beneficial to you, because you can use the information. It’s going to be general practices that you can use to to implement into your listing as well.

So before we get started, please, like this article, give it a thumbs up and I’ve just looked at my analytics and majority of you guys aren’t even subscribed so definitely subscribe to my blog. If you haven’t already subscribed, my phone is, buzzing is really annoying and it makes it really doesn’t always play in your pocket. Definitely please subscribes this blog. I really think you’ll enjoy it and, like I said, if you haven’t liked this article or anything, then just go ahead and like it and I’ve been trying to play with the YouTube algorithm and see how I could get my youtube to grow a bit faster or Just in general and and I thought maybe sharing articles could be good so know.

If you want to share the article, then I will be eternally grateful, but I don’t expect you to share the article if you don’t want to so: let’s go and again, if you want your product to be and reviewed like this, then leave a comment in the In the description of your link to your product – and I will do it okay, so, firstly, I had a look at where this person was in the ranking so for the main keyword, which is travel umbrella.

They were all the way down here, which is not bad. There on the first page, which is really really not bad. However, we want to get them all the way up into this region. Okay and firstly, one thing you’ll notice is there’s some look at the photos. All these top sellers you’ve got like the box, then it comes in and the umbrella clothes box, I’m going to close box umbrella, close box, I’m going to post boss, I’m going to close.

That’s a horrible horrible photo this one over here. So let’s go and have a look at our listing or not our listing, but listen we’re doing and have a look. So I don’t like this photo. The first photo says everything and firstly, this photo just blends in with the photo next to it, and it’s just not a very good photo, because the best bit about this product is that it looks. This probably looks its best when it’s open.

When it’s closed, it doesn’t look that impressive, whereas something like this, it looks nice when it’s closed. It’s got this lovely like mahogany looking handle. It says real word so that he’s offering to be close like that, whereas our one over here or not our one, but I’m going to keep saying that and this one over here and it doesn’t have a very fancy handle and when it’s closed it looks VIP. So you have to remember the first image is: what’s going to get you clicks onto your page, once your click onto your page and then you can worry about the other images and the rest of the page.

But the reason I’m focusing on just the first image is because if you can’t even get that right, then you’re not going to get your click to your page. Okay, so let’s go onto the image. This is the first image now the Umbrella looks a lot better when it’s open, so I would have. I would be a bit different from everyone else and one else around you. This guy’s got the full image open, but then it doesn’t show that it comes with anything.

This guy has got it open and closed. That is pretty cool image. That is a cool image over here, this red one and this one’s also a good image, but you don’t need all these colors in this little thing is too much. This is a good image. So how about how about changing this first image so that the main part of the image is it open? And then you also have it closed in its little pouch? Okay and this little pouch looks a little graphic, but if it’s real, then than brilliant okay.

So that’s the thing. The first thing is the image, the first image. Now I’m going to look at the rest of the images. Okay and it’s very important – your images are just a so important, I’m not saying it’s a P as a photographer or anything like that. I’m since because when you go to the shop to find product you’ll try it, your fear, is you’ll you’ll see it in person annual respect it a lot, whereas online.

You can’t do any of that sort of stuff, and you have to rely on the images that the seller is providing you and to determine relevant. You want to buy that product and, if they’re, giving you rubbish images well, firstly, you might associate that with it being a rubbish product, but also they give you rubbish images. You can’t really get good understanding or good feeling if the products going to be right.

For you, so the images have got to be spot-on. So let’s sum look at the second image now the second image I actually really really like the second image. It gives you all dimensions, all that sort of stuff, but again the umbrella is so small. Maybe I’m going to bigger how the dimensions bigger and then this bit error this area over here with the iPhone very, very clever, because a lot of people have an iPhone you’ve told them why phone it is, and you said, the weight of that and the size Compared to the weight size of this, so in my mind, what is this bit doing over here on the far left? Why why have you got it on the scales with the way of 295 grams when it says 295 grams? Here you don’t need it twice and another thing which is just little nitpicky is trying to Center that scale so that it’s in between the gap in the UM in the umbrella.

So you can see, there’s a gap here where my mouse is where my mouse is. You can see, there’s like a curve here, try and like centre it make it look nice and likewise, with the iPhone Center is, and if you want, you can have a Samsung there as well, because people used your iPhone or Samsung, but iPhone makes more sense because There’s less of them and it’s just more of a generic phone, so that’s a great image.

This is a weird image, multiple processed double god. It’s very much a graphic, as I don’t really understand what I mean I’m looking at. I assume these all different layers of the umbrella. I wouldn’t do it like that. Our happy umbrella like this and then I have like arrows pointing it, and then I had this and I’ll have each of these different things pointing to part of the umbrella. So you can see all these four layers come together to create this umbrella.

The next one is this: this is a cool image. I like this, it’s a in Messi. You can definitely make this neater make this better makes less fake. That looks like it’s been put there, I’m not sure, because it doesn’t look real this one over here within the pocket, so you can definitely make it better, and one thing I would suggest is try and make your images stars buzzing my phone up like mad okay. I haven’t one thing: you want fun: do the images try and create a story arc so that they start by finding a water product? Is I then think about when you go and try an umbrella right? The first thing is, it was open it you’ll, look at it.

You’ll take out the case. You’ll have a look at it. Maybe you’re open a you close. It you’ll look at the inside to see the quality of the metal strand thingies, so follow that story arc within your images, so people actually feel like they are there triangles product and then, by the time they get to the end. You have it closed again and it’s like usually back on the shop, but you have it closed again and you have a big image of it closed kind of thing and then people are ready to go and buy it now go through all the processes that you Would have gone through in the shop and now liberated by.

That is what you want. So that’s why these image is around. So you got this image. That’s not the first thing people are going to be doing. You’ve then got this image. People don’t even like that. What is that and you’ve got this image, and this is the use image, so this is okay, but again it’s all in the wrong place and then you’ve got this image. This image is cool because it shows it can be used in the rain or the Sun.

However, tell people that, though, just shows them an image right, perfect for rain, perfect for the Sun right, you can write things and likewise, with this one right, you’ve got you’ve, got the umbrella and then you’ve got all these little photos, but give a little description of. What’s going on and these ones need to be a bit brighter, so these black on black ones over here in the bottom, try and read them a bit brighter to get like a flash or a light on that.

So it’s a bit brighter or brighten it in editing programs, because again this is going to be the first thing they look at so this it should probably somewhere out like on the second or third image right, because this should not be so far down. You think what people look for when buying the umbrella, okay and have a little descriptions it needs. Each box over like you’d, be like reinforced what’s-his-face, whatever it’s cool, and then you maybe do like reinforced cage for the umbrella, and then you do like streak.

Free coating like give some more information there. I don’t know about this, one which is super random. I don’t know if it’s real, it looks like it’s been photoshopped, but regardless you can definitely make that better, because it’s super random and then you go back to this one which is like. I said this is a good ending because then they’ve been going by so this is an OK for the last image. So that’s how it looks so those are the images in my mind that they can all be improved.

All of them, I’m moving off for you. My throw me services, because that’s not what this series is about. It’s not trying to sell you anything, I’m just trying to help you and but that’s how I think you could improve your images drastically. I don’t know what your conversion rates are: I’m not going to know what your conversion rates are and but try and do that two images and see if it increases your conversion rates.

The next thing you’ve got is your title. So, let’s have a look: we’ll Vic, Clun mini travel umbrella, pocket, I’m going to fall book compact with flat handle six rib as what’s called the rib lightweight, waterproof sturdy and portable umbrella rain and Sun umbrella. Okay, that doesn’t make any section blue and I’m assuming that will change to black right and then to white, and then all the images will update.

It’s definitely Photoshop a photo anyway and that’s horrible, that’s a horrible title and, firstly, you don’t need to ever repeat words in a title keyword, so you want to try it like have as many keywords you can in title with it making sense. We don’t need to repeat words: you’ve got umbrella, one two, three four four times four you’re wasting for keywords here, you need an umbrella once and now you can go and get our three different keywords.

Why using sync here four times, I understand that travel umbrella is a keyword and pocket umbrella is a keyword, but it doesn’t matter if you use umbrella with the title mesh so waterproof umbrella, even though you haven’t said, what’s proof umbrella anywhere, because you got waterproof and Umbrella in the title, people search that it. What can be considered a keyword so don’t over use one word in your title: it doesn’t make any sense.

Okay, let’s have a look at just another commenter. Some competition won right. So that’s the first image. That’s the second image, third or I would still put that on the second one, because this is like super important, but do you see how bright and close up and and easily you can see this, and you can easily see these details and there? This is what people are going to be looking at when they aren’t looking at the umbrella in their hand, they’re going to be looking all these different things and they’ve obviously got writing telling you all about it.

This person that stupid with the title is what camera just ran out of memory there. So, let’s get back into it, so yeah these people, who also got the umbrella, like the word umbrella in their title three times, which is annoying and it just changed that but anyway, wind proof, travel umbrella, folding umbrella or no clothes or two yeah. This title also horrible: well I’m not doing their listing at the moment, but their images operate so use their images, we’re using them just big ideas.

So let’s go back to your so travel Umbrella Cockatoo. It definitely definitely change title. So what you should do is write a list of 50 keywords. We got relating to your own Brella pick top 20 top 30 in the top 15 to 20 and put them in a sentence. Okay, try and make it makes sense. You can have dashes or commas or like lines like that. You can do that in your title. It’s fine, but don’t do it too much and you still want it to make sense.

So you can be like Vic, loon, mini travel, umbrella, perfect, pocket-sized know the best pocket size for the best pocket size that maybe just pocket size and foldable with a compact and flat handle like that. Whole sentence makes more sense than travel umbrella, pocket and read a foldable compact with a bat handle right, so you want it to make sense. Okay, next you’ve got one review that reviews to get a hard to get now, but try and get three reviews.

Maybe even five reviews your sell price 10 pounds, but it’s good. Eventually, you can probably set maybe 15 16 pounds of the aim, your bullets. Well, I like the little emojis here I didn’t even know you could do that. So you’ve got one up on me and it’s cute. Okay, so you got super mini and portable length weighs only no, no, no, no fast, dry. Okay, the bullet is where you want to convey a story to them.

You really want to sell it to them. So you can be like. When was the last time you were stuck outside without an umbrella and getting absolutely soaked to your core right. You don’t want that happening again and – and you can’t really carry around these large cumbersome umbrellas that are annoying to carry and just there’s no evident to go. So we have the perfect for the solution for you. A compact size travel umbrella, the size of your phone right.

You want something like that where you put an idea in their head, a story in the head of how they’re feeling, and then you fix that feeling with a solution and the solution being your product. You want to do that across all of them served for the UV protection you want to be like. Have you ever been burnt in the Sun before right? Obviously, people have been burning some before and then you will try and tell them about why you want brother is good to prevent that and it’s so on.

Okay, so that’s your those your bullets, you also you need some more stop just by the way. Okay, let’s have a look at what’s next, you’ve got your description, oh okay, so I like the lifetime in twelve month, refund guarantee that’s nice. Thank you for that, make it bigger make it bolder, and that is huge, and people should know about that, because I think that sets you apart and you need to tell a story here, maybe start with a story of how bit clean came about what made you Want to do umbrellas and then tell people about your umbrella, why it’s the best umbrella and how it can fix all their problems then get into the product.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LzlgG0IyI0s

Details. Sorry sorry change that then get into the features and what’s in the package and then the product details the moment this is met right. It’s not very good, and I know most people don’t read the description, but those who do will not buy off the C. In that description, if you can maybe become try and do brand brand registry, and then you can have all the images you know like how it’s really fancy like AC, if they’re doing it, yeah like this right come on.

Look at that! That’s cool right! That’s what you want you can all be making even better than that, but whatever so. Definitely please update this just for the sake of everyone and sorry from being blind here, but I think this could help you and then you’ve got one review, which is a great review and try and get some more reviews like I said, but that is it. I’m sure I could probably break down this listing even more for like another half an hour, but that’s not really what this series is about, because that’s what you would know in the course and stuff and that’s what I would obviously do if you were with us.

But I trust of it just give you that initial help and show you how you can maybe increase your conversions by five or ten or twenty percent, which could be really really good for yourselves, because if you get into sales day, that’s amazing to get for sale. Today and and that’s increasing your conversions by a lot more than 20 % but whatever – and I hope that makes sense – and if you did like this article, please please please give it a thumbs up.

It really helps I’ve been using my likes on my articles of going up, and I really really appreciate it. So definitely do that. Thank you so much for reading. If you want your product analyzed, then leave a comment down below with your product or send me an email, and I will try and get to at some point in the near future. Thanks for reading

How To Make Passive Income Around Your Full Time Job

If you’re reading this article, it’s for you know probably you’re interested in creating a passive income if you’ve been following me from for a while, you know I’m just your regular guy, I’m still working my regular job, but what I’m doing is I’m hustling on the side.

Creating a passive income, so I can leave that job in a matter of months and you know work on what I really want to work on full-time. A lot of people run into that in into this problem, and people have been asking the questions. How do you find the time to do it? How long does it take, and I would just want it to take a quick second and really just come at you with with my experience on and what I’ve been doing to create a more passive income lifestyle around? My regular job, so the first thing is, you need to want it number one is you need to want it? This is going to be hard.

Creating a passive income is not an easy sitting on the beach money coming in type of thing. It’s it’s it’s work. It’s it’s actually going to be more work than whatever your regular job is going to be because you don’t have a boss who’s. Looking over your shoulder, saying, hey get to work, get up you you know, keep going. This is something you have to be self-motivated for so you have to want it. You have to want it deep inside.

You know there are. There are many times where I could you know I’m working on my computer. That’s probably the worst thing that you can be doing, because the computer is the gateway to the internet, it’s the Gateway to Facebook, YouTube and I’ve caught myself multiple times where I’m you know I was like alright. Let me just take a quick break in or read a article in like half an hour an hour. Sometimes more has goodbye and I’ve just been reading YouTube articles or whatever the case is, and I’m not talking about educational articles.

I’m talking about you know, car articles or whatever it is so you have to want it. You have to be self-disciplined, but you, you really have to have a drive. You know to go after this because it’s it’s going to be an uphill battle for most of the time number two is you have to think long term, so, ii think long term. This is not happening overnight, not happening. This might happen in six months. It might take 12 months, it may take two years.

Whatever the the timeline is going to be, is you have to accept and think it’s going to be? This is a long-term project. This is a long-term commitment, or this is a long-term thing that I’m committed to. No matter how long it’s going to take, if it takes you five years to create a passive income that allows you to travel, to give you the freedom to do what you want to no longer have to work for somebody else.

What’s five years of your life, when you have the rest of your life to do whatever you want, so you have to think long term. This the third thing, a kind of current ties into that number one is you have to accept the long hours that you’re going to be doing? You know the other night Friday night I was up till 2:00 a.M. Not partying or drinking or doing any of those fun things. I was up until 2:00 a.

M. Just working on the business on. I can’t remember exactly what I was doing, but you know I was working on things that, whether it’s editing articles or just you know getting of the things writing on the back end. I was up. I was working yeah I was I you know. I was tired, but I was also excited that I wasn’t able to sleep because I was so excited about working in the business, but bottom line is you know when you’re working, if you’re working like a nine-to-five or or whatever it is you’re going to come home And you know, if you don’t have a family right now and you’re a little younger it.

You can come home and you get straight to it right. There are no really distractions other than maybe your friends. But for me you know, I finish, work and the wife comes home with the baby and the you know: we’ve both now we’ve been working all day. We we haven’t seen any other. I haven’t seen a baby, you know so I know I don’t wan na as much as I want to get to work on the business right away. Yeah.

I need to spend time with them. They deserve it. They come first. So you know I got to do that. We got to get dinner prepared and spend time time with my daughter and and all of that when do I get time for the business it’s a little in-between times, but then it’s also it’s the time when they’ve gone to bed and it’s 9:00, it’s 10 o’clock! It’s 11 o’clock and I stay up for 2 3 4 hours working and getting the things I need done.

You know it’s the weekends. I literally do not have a weekend and I had a conversation with Marianna a couple of weeks ago, maybe a month ago, when she asked me hey what do you want to do this weekend and I looked at her I’m like what do you mean she’s, like I don’t know what do you? What do you want to do? I’m like it’s. I don’t have a weekend. I literally have no weekends until I’ve left my job, that’s the mentality.

We have to think, and you know I was just telling her. I was like right. It’s yeah, I can take the weekend. You know we would go to the mall occasionally for an hour or two for it with the baby or you know. Yesterday we went to the park for a little bit, but there are no big weekend plans until I’ve hit. My goal of leaving my job – that’s it so you have to you, have to commit to these long grueling hours, because that’s the only way you’re going to get this done right, having an income where you know it essentially, you know, makes money.

Well, you see, I don’t like saying that cause it sounds stupid and cliche, but you know having a passive income. That’s working for you is not something that comes easy. It’s going to require ton of work, a ton of dedication and a ton of sacrifices, and I guess that’s what I’m kind of mean coming coming in. In fact, that’s my number four number four point here is: you have to learn to say no now, so you can say little yes later say no now, so you can say it yes later and that’s what I’ve.

I think I’ve really become great at over the last few months is just saying no to these short-term things, because I know it’s not aligning with what I want a long term. You know right now, I’m just finishing some things up: I’ve, it’s it’s Sunday and I’ve been working literally from the moment. I got up to now it’s sometime on Sunday evening and you know everyone else where’s everyone else right now, they’re at a family, carne asada Mexican barbecue they’re in a barbecue right now – and you know I’m going to be heading there and like hopefully in the next Hour or so, but why am I not there right now because it’s just a barbecue, because the amount of work I’ve got done over the last few hours is going to bring me so much closer to my goal of leaving my job in a few months.

Do I miss the barbecue and yeah? It’s it’s gorgeous outside right now, it’s sun shining, it’s like thirty, odd degrees out and they’re having their their Coronas and their beers and barbecue. Obviously I want to be there but priorities. I had to say no for that. Right now, so I can say yes to traveling the world later so yeah. I can say yes to all of the other goals that we want to do later, so just becoming disciplined is what I’m trying to get across.

You have to become disciplined realize that there are things that are going to either bring you closer to your goal or they’re going to bring you further away from your goal. The fifth thing is surround yourself with others doing what you’re doing listen. You know i-i’ve never been wanted to go along the grain, I’m always the the the the person Cohen against the grain so to speak, and I know how important it is to surround yourself with other like-minded individuals and really that’s why I I produce these articles and And you know I connect with you guys, because this can be a lonely journey.

You know, honestly, you think about my parents, for example. I don’t even know if they, they probably don’t, even know what I do or understand what I do or know what a passive income really is. You know it’s. I was seeing a post in one of my Facebook groups, and I was this 20-some 20 year old kid and talking about his parents, think that Kindle publishing is a stupid idea. Well, of course, they think it’s a stupid idea when they were 20.

The internet didn’t even exist right 20 years ago. The internet didn’t really exist. Of course, I think making money online is going to be a stupid idea. They don’t get it right, they don’t get it. I was explaining to my mum today. You know it’s like she’s, like how how’s that business that you’re doing I’m, like you, mean how’s, the blog going mum houses, of course, creating going mum. I mean I was kind of explaining to her it’s like yeah.

I have these goals that I want to hit and yeah. You know she’s like okay, I was like. Don’t worry, you’ll understand it eventually. So what I do is I surround myself with people who know what I’m doing who understand it, who get it because then I can feed off of their energy alright going back. It can be lonely a time. So I make sure I’m talking to those people who are doing what I’m doing so. I can bounce ideas off them.

If I’m feeling, like I’ve, been the only one working, you know 12, 14, 16 18 hour days. I can connect with another guy and you you know, and you know he was telling me he’s like yeah. When did he say it? He says I can’t remember when he said, but it was the number of years ago he’s like. I was doing exactly what doing hustling away and now he makes $ 500,000 a year through through you know, publishing and different online online ventures, but that’s exciting, knowing that you know I’m on the right track.

So, just to reiterate, for you guys number one is you need to want it? You need to want this. You need to want to creating a passive income above anything else, because it’s going to bring you the lifestyle and and the things that you truly want in life number two. Is you got to think long term? This is not going to happen overnight. This is going to be six months, 12 months, 24 months 36 months. It’s going to take, however long it needs to take.

You have to accept that number 3 is accept the long hours right, don’t feel bad about working late into the night. Don’t feel bad about working through your through the weekends, when your friends are out doing whatever they’re doing right. Take care of you go after your goals. Number 4 is to learn to say no now so you can say yes later. No now, so you can say. Yes later that one is so key for so many different reasons and number 5 is surround yourself with other like-minded individuals who are doing what you’re doing you know.

I only take advice. There’s a bonus one. I only take advice from people. I would switch spots with if I wouldn’t take their life in an instant. I don’t want their advice because it’s not in tuned with my goals, so anyways guys. Hopefully those five tips gave you a bit of value there, and you know how this maybe shift. Your thinking on what not let let me know please, let me know in the comments which, which tip did you like best, leave a little note in the comments, so maybe I can elaborate on it or something like that.

Little breezy today, blowed like hell last night, when we got home, it’s still blowing, you can see, trees are moving around low tide, Tim and Tracy. They worked the gun show yesterday and today they said it had a pretty good day yesterday and they got there.

They said slow this morning so far because you I didn’t remember, I was going to try and find that brochure or magazine on the whalebone house and ball head. I couldn’t find it, but I did find a hell of a article on that house. So some real estate agent did a couple years ago when they put it on the market.

So I’m going to put that article in here, so you can see it in detail inside outside down the street upside down. It’s got lots and lots of pictures of a really cool house. What’d, you bring me a ball yeah. I understand it. Yeah he’s a good stand by I’m having a busy surf church Sunday. That’s the last of the 22 boards that three more to go and then I got to install them, but then the fence will be finally finished.

GMB Google My Business Course Testimonial

Local Google loves Google and, if you’re in business, particularly if you have a local business and you aren’t taking advantage of what Google is doing on the local level in your area, you are missing out. So my good friends, John Currie and Paul Truscott, have put together an exceptional training on how to take advantage of Google business pages, and I just brought the main page up here.

Just to kind of quickly give you an over. You know an overview of what they have here: the importance of categories, what you need to have on your page. They go through this in great depth and gia relevance like how do you make sure that Google knows that your business is where it is, and the world has changed used to be everything was done on desktops. Then it was on laptops. Now it’s on phones, so people are walking around they’re doing a search.

Google knows where they are because they have GPS on the phone and you know where you are and then they can match you up. So it’s really really important that you take advantage of what Google is doing for your business. And then there are other Google properties that you can be using to link back and and add more juice and more power to your listings and then talk a little bit about brands, traffic strategies, link building, which is really really important.

And then for those of us that maybe don’t want it, we’ll just read and they want a Rutten.

“Greedy Influencers” – Why The Integrity Of Your Brand Is At Risk

I don’t give a shit how rich you are, how much subscribers, how much money you have. I think, a lot of the times. The way you ultimately treat people speak so much more powerfully versus all that shit. Okay, guys! Is it just me, or is it getting hot in here, because we’re about to roast some of your favorite influencers, get it no hey guys.

Welcome to my blog. My name is Jane and if you’re new here, what’s up I’m 18 year old entrepreneur and today’s topic is actually requested by you – guys. A lot of people, maybe you’re, reading, create content online and I think the biggest thing we’re always curious about is how to grow. But also how to make a business out of it and we’ve seen so many people become really successful. On this platform, we’ve seen youtubers make millions of dollars from making articles selling their brands merch you get it, and I think so often we forget to think about brand integrity, which is why today, I’m going to answer your guys has 3 top questions about how to Build a sustainable business but keep your brand check.

So, if you guys wouldn’t know more and we’re about to expose some of your favorite people, I’m just keep on reading, I recommend actually grabbing a snack if you’re reading this. This article is better when you’re consuming not only information but a what a food of some choice so grab a snack. If you were, if you haven’t already hey Jade you’re super cool and I’ve been reading, you a lot lately. Thank you.

I am an inspiring fashion. Influencer and I follow a lot of successful bloggers in my knees, how do you engage a more mature audience that is more likely to wash than just be silent woo? This is a really really good question like I don’t even know how to properly answer it. So, let’s see what I pull up, madam ass, okay, so for anyone doesn’t know, what’s going on, I like to use the Selena Gomez or Miley Cyrus approach right.

These Disney stars, at least when I grew up, were everything to me. I don’t know why, but these Disney stars, whatever they did, I fangirl over. I will talk to my mom I’ll comment on their post. When I was younger, I would read a show every single time but, as I grew older, more shit happened. I got busier and now I’m less fan girlie. So this question is tailored to people who maybe are at the point where their audience isn’t at a fan, girlie mode because they’re so much more mature.

I guess the question I’m always personally curious is how would you create an engaging fanbase if your audience isn’t at that age point? So, if you’re someone who’s curious about that, this is what I have to say. You think about it. There’s a certain age point where, yes, your audience matures they’re less active because their attention is spread out when you grow up, I mean I’m only 18 years old, but I can tell you you: when you grow up, you get more work, you think about money.

There’s a lot more stressful things that you keep about so your time and attention for entertainment is getting a lot less, so your attention is, however, so fleeting. If you really want to engage with a more mature audience, you need to be able to solve their problem. I think the biggest thing that a lot of fashion influencers do is, I would say, I’m not I’m going to roast anyone, but you know it’s kinda, like a tick, tock er, a tick talker is someone who probably makes a lip-synch article you’ve definitely seen.

Okay. If you haven’t seen one your life, I know one of the famous ones is like Lauren, gray, right and Lauren gray. You know you read a cool little article, then you just like it and you swipe away and that’s the end because you’re not there she’s not really solving any problems, she’s just dancing with her belly button open right, okay, Mona! I want to make a quick disclaimer and also say that if you’re someone who tells stories or is a movie maker that entertains people that’s also solving people’s problem, humor and laughter is solving someone’s needs, because when we are busy at work, you know we want to Relieve stress so don’t be limited to and I think, solving a problem as thinking you have to be like an informative value teacher.

You can also tell stories and add humor just make sure you’re adding value to someone’s life, whether it’s humor education or motivation. I have a whole article about adding value. If you want to read the article I’ll link it below on ways, you can do it without feeling overwhelmed to answer this question properly. Just try to stray away from tik-tok type of content and focus on value based giving, for example, story times a lot of personal advice.

Q & A is going into your audience and seeing them asking them. What are you currently facing? If you don’t know, ask there’s fucking 7 million features on your Instagram stories to do Q & A and polls. So you know what your market is facing and I think my educated, our self and what’s going on you’re able to create engagement because true engagement when we can older it’s just conversations right. It’s less of this like yeah.

Like I love you, it’s a two-way street. My biggest advice, if you are trying to engage someone, the older, is to create conversations and the best way to start conversation is by solving the problem and asking. How can I help you how’s? That made sense, I don’t know. I do think it’s interesting, though, because I don’t think there’s anything wrong with tic tucker’s and we love Lauren gray, all right.

So the second question is: I’m a fashion, blogger too, and I want to collaborate with well known world brands. It’s important that I concentrate on a specific location, for instance, if i’ma from Russia. Is it better for me to write in a Russian audience or gather in English? Do big brands give a shit about location, I’m struggling what language to decide from? Firstly, you understand why you want to work with big brands, because one, it’s typically a nightmare, because big brands typically don’t even reach out to most people.

They have influencer marketing agencies, so you’re just going to deal with the middleman, which aka means they’re just going to take more money from you. So just ask yourself: why do you want to work with big brands if it’s, because you genuinely believe in Nike or because you like, genuine, like this brand, like that’s another story, but sometimes I feel like a lot of people just want to work a big brand.

So they can feel cool, but you need to know why, because it will bite you in the ass and sometimes like you eat to where you want to go. For example, there was a big company that wanted to work with me, and I thought it was great because I felt cooler it’s a corporate big company and I remember it was actually fucking horrible, because there were so much they were so slow like to make a Decision they have to go through their HR for Ventura, CEO and then they inter came back to me and be like hey Jade.

Sorry, we don’t have the budget for this project. What I’m trying to say is know why one you want to work with Vikram. The second step is chase request, my language, the answer is typically, if you are working with a big brand, you need to know where their audience comes from and who their customer is. If you want to work with Nike right and you feel like there’s biggest problem, is they can’t reach the Russian market, then speak and Russian, because you’re going to connect your audience better? It’s like this.

The reason why I you have to understand what brands you want to work with is because we want you want to help them essentially spread. The word right so by default. Ask yourself: does this brand struggle reaching this demographic? I think a lot of influencers are competing because they don’t feel like they’re special, but if you do speak a language you can leverage it. It would definitely double down on your language because it just makes you stand out and it’s a tricky conversation right.

Some brands. Only one english-speaking customers, so it depends you have to do a research, I would say all right guys, it’s getting hot huh and if your support enjoyed this article, please give this article a like and subscribe on this blog. We talk about social media growth, starting a business, and I am here for you because I genuinely have a passion for helping. You guys destroy your brand and hopefully you know give you some big sister advice or big brother advice, but yeah make sure you guys, like this article and subscribe if you haven’t already okay.

So the third and last question is by far the most important. I don’t think you need anything else, but this piece of information. Okay, so this question is also from seventh Lana. You could you guys quick, really good, really, good questions? She asks. No one really talks about ethics and values of a brand. Can a brand turn you down because they don’t want to be associated with you also, vice versa.

Can I turn down people if I don’t believe in their product, so I think this can be solved and towards brand integrity. If you want to work with a brand – and you know matched what they need and also on the other and find brands that you actually resonate with, we have to stop taking short-term decisions. I don’t give a shit how rich you are, how much subscribers, how much money you have. I think, a lot of the times.

The way you ultimately treat people speak so much more powerfully versus all that shit. I can give you so many examples. Okay, there is a you know, famous case right now: there’s a youtuber called Britney Donna Fitness, Instagram fitness influencer, accused of scamming clients across the country. Britney dawn took their money for fitness plans and then never delivered, and now many of them are taking those complaints.

She had a scandal about scamming her own audience. You know we’ve heard about maybe that Jacqueline Hill scandal we have to stop thinking so short term. I mean we asked we need to make money, get our coin cyst. But how is this affecting your brand long term and this long term really mean like stop thinking in three-month cycles of like what can I hit this quarter but think about what do I want to hit in five years? Because when you think about five year, visions and again going back to the initial conversation like when you know your, why why you work with a brand? Why you do something you think longer term? Which means you know what you stand for.

So what brand comes up to you say? Hey mr. John, I want to work with you I’ll pay, you ten grand. Will you do it, but you know deep down that this will long-term collide with your morals, which is maybe not selling a product. It’s a scam! You’re going to turn it down and by doing that, you’re going to save time, but not only that your own brand and value which is going to keep you longer term, because your audience will trust you.

I think so often we trade and Trust for short-term benefits and integrity is all about doing the right thing when no one is reading. So, if you’re, someone who is still confused on how to keep brand integrity, here’s my three tips. You just need to know it’s really simple step, one if you’re trying to keep your brand integrity step. One is to know your. Why know what you want like? What do you stand for? Ask yourself out? What do you stand for? If you don’t know, you’re going to make short-term shit you’re going to shortcut your way into success, you’re going to buy followers, I’ve done that you’re going to take deals that you don’t really actually believe in I’ve done that you’re going to make brands change you for Who you are because you want the money I’ve done.

That example, I can give you a story time at the very end of this article, if you want to hear actually personal situation to me, step two find brands that have your. Why, if your, why is to stay ethical or save – I don’t know beautiful in your own skin, don’t take a detox product like a fitness, tea cuz! It’s going to collide with your audience right, so find brands with a similar. Why it’s very simple: if they don’t have an about Us page about how they source their ingredients and you or someone who’s ethical, your problems shown to that bring them actually.

In one instance, there was this company that basically does Instagram growth automation and they were going to pay me. I think two grand for a article just mentioning their name and I post hundreds of years on this blog. But I remember my whole. Why is to build a brand long-term and don’t use shortcuts and there? Why is to make shortcuts? I said no, because I Baloo that you would collide with what I believed in and therefore break so many of my audience’s trust and also my own morals and ethics.

Again, brand integrity, so I guess step three is like you heard: you need to connect your Y with their Y and, if that’s a yes, you should be good to go into that deal and taking that money, because it’s an exchange of saying true to your core And building a company off of good ethics. I know this is may be basic information, but I feel like step so important if you haven’t spent 10 minutes just like sipping your tea and thinking about your wife.

Please please do that today. I don’t give a shit if you are, you know scrolling on YouTube. We’re really fuckin stressed out just sit down and ask yourself why? What is your, why what do you stand for? It will save you so much more time and build trust all right guys. I want to quickly shut it to the current winner. Do you wan na be the next homeowner just corn, below your questions? Your thoughts? Do you agree with me with brand integrity? How do you guys stay true, and let me know if you have any stories of other influencers that have fucked up and maybe we can learn from alright guys.

I love you guys so much domination. Thank you for reading. I will see you guys in the episode. 2 of the startup, if you don’t know what the startup is, I invite you to my youtube series, which is my story of how I grew my business.

I went from 0 to 19.5K Instagram followers in one year (and lost 2K the next year)

I reached nineteen point, five thousand followers. How I did that is. I will show you in this article and I will show you as well how I lost 1,500 to 2,000 followers in the next year. So a bit of a big story on why I started posting interior content on Instagram.

I was just moved into a new city. I was hating my job I was born. I was creatively unfulfilled. I decided to pick a more creative hobby, something to more tickle my creative brain, and so, if I outlet outside of work, I wouldn’t buy the username talking spaces don’t go, it was also the URL to my blog and I posted my first picture. It was the last picture I snapped off my previous home engaged it. I will put it on the screen somewhere over here or here.

I kind of discovered this whole community of Interior related content on Instagram, and I started interacting with people that were inside that community. As well little by little, I started getting a few followers. I think it took me about a month to get 200 followers like good, a person with low self-esteem inside this eco sphere of likes and hearts and positive reinforcement. And so obviously I got addicted to it.

And I started to spend more and more time on it and I started to be more analyze: posts of butters and hashtags day used and which compositions they used, which colors they used, how they edited their photos. And here there I started to take tips and tricks from them, and this is where my first really great tip comes in because you can use, for example, hashtag interior design for pictures like I posted or home decor.

But it’s way more effective to go with more specific hashtags. So for me that was a small spaces squad. A studio apartment eclectic decor. This is why I have to try every day this one has grown. It loves right now so surely, but steadily. I started to create a few sets of hashtags for different kind of pictures that I would use with a lot of retailers and specific hashtags. Another thing that really accelerated my growth was using stories and there are a few ways to use stories and I think here consistency is key.

So, basically never should you have an empty stories that it’s not clickable and what you are going to share. It’s basically up to you, because it’s a more rough of the curve, something you just want to share something you just want to show and what really helped me back then was to share other people’s pictures tagging them in it and also not just throwing it out There also not saying it’s a shot-for-shot, because that can really feel canoing if someone comes to you like, please show me out, but really putting something in it like, for example, someone shares my picture and they say something really specific about it.

There’s more chance. I will share it in my stories again or I will check out your accounts to see what you’re sharing and what your aesthetic is like. What I also did was create my own hashtag, so my username was talking, spaces don’t go, and I created the hashtag talking spaces because every Friday I would use stories to shout out people that use that hashtag share the best of what they had to show.

So what that does it creates kind of a community community around you you’re, not only part of the community, if you’re doing it like that, because you’re also in the middle of it, so people started to use the hashtag and also make sure to follow me because, If they don’t follow me, they will think maybe he’s not going to share it. If I don’t follow him, another great tip – and I did this really early on and it really paid off – was interacting and following with Meghan and blogs and compilation accounts like comes.

Let’s share pictures from different accounts because that’s a really great way to get access to and greater audience every time it got shared there. It meant a great influx of new followers because they discovered me, so you really have to see what’s your niche and you have to interact with magazines in that area. It’s really good to see similar accounts to you and who they follow and who they are getting followed by and that’s a way to see what kind of niche you fit into and that’s a great way to see what kind of hashtags would work for you.

It’s great to see what kind of people will be interesting in following you as well, and it’s really a great idea to interact with those kind of accounts. Not only because it’s interesting to you this because clearly they have similar interest to you, but because the company they share and the huge person is shared, it has a kind of Overland. My memory was full and we’re cutting up and the framing is worse.

But, let’s get back so slowly but steady, I was reaching 500 followers and I was noticing there. It’s people that were just starting out with Instagram accounts we’re starting to follow me because they saw me as a bit more of an established name in the community and what’s really important here, is that those people they they want to be understood. They want to communicate. They want to be friendly to people, and what I saw a lot was account said were the were a bit more established.

There was not coming back on smaller accounts; they would not like back on smaller accounts and I think, that’s really stupid to do because we’re all human beings. Why would you not answer someone if they’re saying something nice to you on your picture, so I would suggest comments back everyone, that’s coming from your picture and if it’s something that you’re not really sure what to comment back just heart, the comments or just reply with An emoji something nice.

If you notice someone that’s commenting like on every picture. You post it’s nice to just check out Derek comments, and maybe it’s something you want to follow as well. So if coming back get to know the people behind defeats answer your PMS only the nice ones, not the dirty ones and the flirty ones and the kind of weird ones you get and be open and real with what you post, because I noticed we’re more diff.

The pictures that were, hopefully Photoshop kind of turned me off and also people deaf in their captions, were like really high and mighty and know-it-all about what they shared like. They knew everything about interior design. If someone was acting like that, it started to turn me off, and I really didn’t like this, so I should just be open and real, but just stay humble just you’re, just another Instagram account you’re, not some big shot because she reached a lot of followers.

Stay. Humble so I think this is where my account started to stand up, because I was sharing pictures in a really mundane way. I shared pictures where you saw the messiyah my home. I shared pictures with a trash bag on the background or a really messy bed, or something like that, and because the other side of, like the big community of Instagram, was basically, I saw people that took pictures and they photoshopped away plug outlets and they photoshopped away.

The line of the ceilings make it look bigger and because my pictures were more relatable and real. I think that did a lot of good for my former bassist well in the moment that I was shared by a lot of magazines and blogs and compilation accounts. It took me quickly into I think 6,000 followers, but quickly after that, I started to really get close to like the magical and amazing 10k like this might be a real tip or something you say, like obviously yeah, but be a nice person, because I saw a Lot of people just being assholes on the Instagram, and I saw a lot of people also feeling self-important that they, for example, commented on a few blogs or magazine accounts and that they were commenting.

When am I going to get shared or why are you not noticing me? Instagram is a big place. It’s not easy to get noticed, so it’s not that they personally have something against you. If they don’t notice you, but it’s just not happening yet, and people ask. Will get dismissed? Ok, let’s zoom out a second for all the tips. I’ve given so far, it’s a precursor to death. It’s important that your content is interesting.

It’s visually pleasing your captions are relatable or funny, or they give something to the people. A lot of people share like really complaining stuff like today, I had to go to the grocery store and someone cut me up and I felt so angry I’m not looking for negativity on my feet. So why would I follow it an account that dust is like on the regulator? Also, a good thing is that your content has to be recognizable.

People have to see a picture. You post, and you have to instantly know that. Oh this is this. In this person’s picture, but on the flip side of death, if you’re posting really the same picture on and on and on again like it doesn’t matter if you’ve taken a different picture. But if the content of the picture is basically the same, people will get bored and I see a lot of accounts right now. That kind of got big because they had like a really pretty dining room and they kind of latch on together.

And they hang on to death right now, they’re still sharing the same picture or the same setup and they’re not getting the likes anymore, because people have seen it like all the people that want to see it have discovered it by now, and it’s not news anymore. Above all, the other tips like interacting with people sharing interesting content being open, honest and relatable and don’t or captions using stories.

I think the main thing that plays into your growth on Instagram is consistency and it’s consistency in posting and it’s consistency in how much you interact with the app if you’re, finding a sustainable amount of time. You can do, for example, you post every day and you spend an X amount of time every day on the app interacting with content. That’s the main way to really get growth, because Instagram will see that you are pumping out interesting content on a consistent basis and it will take you seriously and besides that people will know if they see a picture of you and they see exactly one day later.

Another picture of you and exactly a day later another picture of you. They will know that they’re getting their fix on a daily basis and it will go check for you. So, even if the algorithm isn’t in your favor, they will know today there will be a new picture or a new article or something only is instagram page and i’m going to check it out. Another great tip is to know your niche and you have to play into it and that’s both in how you share your content and how you use your hashtags, but also to me as an interior Instagrammer.

It meant. I changed that my interior, more not only for my followers, also because I like to, but it kind of showed me what my people liked, and that was a reflection of what I like and all like minded people. I saw their trends coming on and I changed my interior to reflect that. So I was noticing my accountant was mainly interesting to people who are looking for tiny living things, drifting and vintage interior and our big-city living.

And I was noticing that a bit of an overlap to that where it was the urban jungle trend or how you would call, and that’s why I started to play more into dance. I had a lot of plants in my home already. I was just not using the hashtag — jungle and house pens make me happy and all the more specific hashtags for that niche. So I started to branch out from one age to another, not letting the first one guy out but just building upon it and that’s also really important.

You don’t go from one thing to one thing completely different: you have to stay in your own lane. Basically, but you are allowed to branch out a bit so back, then I don’t know if it’s still a trend, but back then it was really popular to participate in common spots, and this is basically a group chat with people on Instagram, where, as soon as you’re Posting you will notify the group chat and they will all go to your picture and they will like and comment on it, and this is basically to kind of fully augur if M that you’re getting a lot of interaction on your picture from the get-go, I was Offered to participate loads of times – and I never get this which later on, I think, is a good thing, because Instagram has really statements about comment balls and how they are cracking down on it.

But to me it just felt like it felt inauthentic, and it’s really also. I didn’t have the time to every time. Someone commented in a group chat to directly go to the photo and directly comment something. So I didn’t do that and I think it’s for the better, because there are some accounts. I know that have participated in comment. Boats. That’s right now are falling off big time. They still have great interaction in comments, but there are apps to see what your authentic engagement and it’s really awful for those people, because it’s really easy to see what comes from a common boss or you have those apps that you can copy-paste the same reaction to Different photos and it’s really obvious to see the same comments from the same people on every photo in the same kind of community community.

So I was doing amazing. It was November of 2018 and I think I was around 18 and a half thousand followers. And in November I started to really step up my game and I was posting a blog post every day I called it La Femme, but this also was great for my growth because more content, it was interesting content. If I say so myself, it meant more followers and at the end of November, are somewhere in mid December.

I think I reached 19 thousand followers and that’s when stuff started to go down, because I picked something that was not sustainable because consistency is key on Instagram and I was posting so much which I couldn’t keep up, because I literally I was working a full-time job. I was posting every day on Instagram I was posting a blog post. Every day I tried to have a social life sighs that it was way too much to do so after November.

I stopped it obviously, and I started to post list on Instagram, because basically it was just burned out. This instantly led to a decrease in new followers. I was not losing yet, but my growth was fluttering quickly. Another thing that greatly influenced my drop in followers. I think is that my interior changed and it changed quite drastically. All of a sudden, because in December I painted my wall black and until then my niche was the more lies wide with vintage accents plain bluffing, vintage laughing home in an old house.

And if you see that you throw in a black wall, it doesn’t mesh well and also later on. I was moving and I was moving to a new bill tome and that’s the opposite of what people like about my account. Because people start following me, because I had like a really nice old home, with beautiful ceilings and beautiful large windows and high ceilings. And I moved to a place that was way more healthy for me to live in and I loved it so much more, but visually it’s less interesting.

It’s really a basic flat that I’m living in right now. Also, I changed up my interior style, then again, because I started to have more modern furniture that wasn’t up pretty thrifted or something I don’t know why? Because right now, I’m back back to basics again with only thrifted furniture, but I changed it up and two followers that follow you, because of one reason that means that they are not interested in your content anymore, so this ring had started dropping quite rapidly.

I think, basically, I put myself so deep into my niche that, as my interests were changing and my style was changing and I myself was changing. It felt inauthentic to the people following me because they never saw me sharing something about it, because I was just only sharing what I thought people wanted see. People were uninterested in the things I shared, and so they smash to death and full of button.

No hard feelings, I do exactly the same if I follow someone and they are changing up their content big-time and it’s not interesting to me. Why would I follow along? Another thing I suspect, influenced my drop in followers were poorly designed unrelated sir posts, and on top of that I was disclosing that stuff was gifted or paid promotion or PR product or it was a PR offence, but other people in the mainly Dutch interior community they’re, Not disclosing anything about sponsorship and if they do, they really hide it deep into their hashtag.

So people will not see it so it looked like I was doing all of these sponsored posts and they were doing nothing and I really stood out because of it, and I was also taking and that’s really stupid, because I didn’t really get money for it or I didn’t really get something I wanted, but it’s just if people reach out to me and they wanted to work with me, I was really excited to most of them in the beginning.

I said yes – and I said yes without really looking into the brands that wanted to work with me and I think that’s really bad, because a sponsorship is not a two-way street you’re, not working with only the company and the influencer. Followers are really a big part of it, and I didn’t look into this and that’s really bad. I think I think that really influenced my dropping followers, the most in the end, so I was kind of lost with what I wanted to share on Instagram and I made the conscious decision to just stop caring about followers and just start posting.

Whatever I felt like – and I think that really did a lot to me in a positive way, because I started to see what I like to post and also by trying out stuff, I noticed that it wasn’t for me. So, on top of that, I changed my username from talking spaces co2, just my first name with a lot more art in it to make it more personal and to really share that image of the content creator. I was at first and through really sharing whatever I felt like, and I think it was mainly the period between February and basically tail two months ago, like November of 2019, I just shared whatever I like, and I still most followers logically, but it really showed me What I like to share so flashback to now I’m right now, as I think seventeen point, four thousand followers which is growth again, I think at my lowest point.

I was at seventeen points, one that wasn’t forest and I really want to share how gets happening because it’s a three full explanation. First of all, I started to get more interested again in what I share it. Second of all, I refrain my consistency because right now I’m posting at twice a week instead of every day, and I think Instagram is getting the hang of it now. Obviously, my growth is less than when I posted every day, but it’s better than when I posted every day, while hating my content and while not interacting with anyone, and I also reframed my expectations, because in the heyday of my like Instagram journey, if a picture didn’t Get to thousands likes, it was a field picture.

It was not doing great and right now, if my picture has above 200 likes that’s great to me. That means 200 people looked at it and they were interested enough to like it, and I think it’s as well. If everyone on the platform gets less interaction right now, and I’m not sure how that happens, but it’s great to know because that reframes your expectation from it and it reframes what success means. Instagram is basically mirroring what you do.

So if you put a lot of time and effort into it and your content is obvious – obviously interesting fish easing if you’ve put a lot of effort into it, you get more out of it. So that’s how you reach 19,000 followers in one year and then losing 2,000 followers in the next year. I hope this was interesting to you and I hope you got something out of it if you’re looking to grow an Instagram audience or if you struggle with an existing Instagram accounts that doesn’t really like go as good as it did.

It’s not that much that it’s! I think really life hacks to grow on Instagram. It’s just really insight on how to my knowledge into my experience, the Instagram platform works. Also. I want to add that in no way, I’m claiming to really know a lot about the algorithm or that I’m really knowledgeable about social media marketing or SEO, or something like that, because if people say that it annoys me a lot and that’s also why I kind Of debate it’s about filming this article, I don’t want to sound like an oil or something like this.

I just wanted to share my story because people that say they know a lot about the algorithm or give tips and tricks about it. Not even to people at Instagram headquarters know how the algorithm works. It’s a self learning machine, it’s way more complex than if you do X, then you get Y. So I think it’s really insane that a lot of people do. I have this business about how to trick the algorithm or something it doesn’t work like that.

So I hope this doesn’t come up as know-it-all or preachy or patronizing. I just hope my story, maybe was fun to listen to or give some insights into how your Instagram experience is. Also, something I want to add is that, above all the tips that I shared or all the things that I did, that I shared there’s a lot of luck into it, a lot of times, it’s being at the right place at the right time. I had no influence is over whether or not an accountant was checking me out or whether or not one of those magazines was going to share my home.

It was all up to luck, but you can kind of play into luck by being there and by trying to go after things you want to have so basically, it’s mostly about luck and all the earth tips are just supporting it’s too dead.
