Episode 49: Results from 30-Day Instagram Challenge
October 18, 2016 • 32 MIN
In this episode, Megan will be sharing all the things I learned from my 30 Day Instagram Challenge. Tips on Instagram Domination 1. Do everything ahead of time. Do it in batches. - I posted 3x a day for 30 days. 2. How many posts should be about their products or about other things? - I recommended that you focus on a ratio of about 3 posts of value and 1 post of selling. - Treat your account as a community more than for selling. 3. Profile should really involve what’s in it for a follower and not you. - Create a feature. Link to something specific. - People will use keywords on their profiles. 4. Hashtags: - Keep it at about 29 -30. - Find a hashtag that is less than a million post and more than 50,000 posts, so you’re post will not get lost. 5. I recommend that your post has a call to action so that you start creating community. 6. Grum.co - A desktop app that automatically posts to instagram for you. 7. I get more engagement when I post regularly. 8. Follow posts and like posts. Instagram doesn’t like when you automate your community. Regularly build your community. 9. Curation and cleanup - Always make sure that you present your best self. I recommend that you cleanup posts that have low engagement.

Episode 48: Social Media 101 with Jarred Andrews
October 11, 2016 • 44 MIN
In this episode, we are with Jarred Andrews talking about how to get started on social media with your business. Questions: Why do you think so many small business owners are intimidated by Linkedin? Do you think that google plus is also important for online businesses? What are the first platforms that my business should be on? What are your tips for creating new content? What is a good ratio for your content? What’s a good benchmark to say that your content isn’t working for you? What do you think is the time should there be a hire on a social media manager? What kind of schedule should I make for social media platforms? Do you think its a good strategy to share same articles on different platforms? Do you think tone should be different on each platform depending on what it is? How do you find hashtag that works? Should you have hashtags on Facebook posts? What are the best apps when starting a business? Buffer vs Hootsuite? Notes: Search feature on Pinterest is amazing. Have a google plus page for your business. The information on location and contact will be linked to your account when it appears on the search engine. 63% of people searching for products are on the Google platform. Be open to trial and error on generating content in the first 3-6 weeks. After that, you'll get a feel of what works for your audience. Think in a different way on creating your content. Think about what your audience like to see. Having a social media account manager is a good sounding board. Engagements go up and down. The more consistent you are, the more responsive your followers will be. Focus on making your pages on different platforms consistent on information. Analytics will give you information on the best times to post. Mix and match articles. You want to be conversational on your hashtags. Emojis are very friendly in your posts.

Episode 40: Time and Money
August 9, 2016 • 27 MIN
In this episode, Megan talks about how to give value of your time and money. Megan tells you how to deal with getting asked for free stuff. Be grateful and thankful and tell someone that you’re thankful for them. You feel bad/guilty charging for your creative work. We think our time isn’t worth as much as it should be. You shouldn’t be afraid to make money. Stop feeling bad about it. There isn’t anything wrong for charging something for time if there is benefits for someone else. Your time is valuable. Don’t feel like you have to apologise for that. Time is a bitch. Time is annoying. You need time to grow. Start with a reasonable price for your product if you are starting because you are learning. It will grow over time. Everybody started somewhere. Make a plan. Start with a goal and go backwards. Act on it. Keep things in perspective.

Episode 37: Results from my 30 Day Instagram Challenge
July 19, 2016 • 31 MIN
  In this episode, Megan will be sharing all the things I learned from my 30 Day Instagram Challenge.  Tips on Instagram Domination 1. Do everything ahead of time. Do it in batches. - I posted 3x a day for 30 days. 2. How many posts should be about their products or about other things? - I recommended that you focus on a ratio of about 3 posts of value and 1 post of selling. - Treat your account as a community more than for selling.  3. Profile should really involve what’s in it for a follower and not you. - Create a feature. Link to something specific. - People will use keywords on their profiles. 4. Hashtags: - Keep it at about 29 -30. - Find a hashtag that is less than a million post and more than 50,000 posts, so you’re post will not get lost. 5. I recommend that your post has a call to action so that you start creating community. 6. Grum.co - A desktop app that automatically posts to instagram for you. 7. I get more engagement when I post regularly. 8. Follow posts and like posts. Instagram doesn’t like when you automate your community. Regularly build your community. 9. Curation and cleanup - Always make sure that you present your best self. I recommend that you cleanup posts that have low engagement.

Episode 36: Social Media 101 with Jarred Andrews
July 12, 2016 • 43 MIN
In this episode, we are with Jarred Andrews talking about how to get started on social media with your business.  Questions: Why do you think so many small business owners are intimidated by Linkedin? Do you think that google plus is also important for online businesses? What are the first platforms that my business should be on? What are your tips for creating new content? What is a good ratio for your content? What’s a good benchmark to say that your content isn’t working for you? What do you think is the time should there be a hire on a social media manager? What kind of schedule should I make for social media platforms? Do you think its a good strategy to share same articles on different platforms? Do you think tone should be different on each platform depending on what it is? How do you find hashtag that works? Should you have hashtags on Facebook posts? What are the best apps when starting a business? Buffer vs Hootsuite?   Notes: Search feature on Pinterest is amazing. Have a google plus page for your business. The information on location and contact will be linked to your account when it appears on the search engine. 63% of people searching for products are on the Google platform. Be open to trial and error on generating content in the first 3-6 weeks. After that, you'll get a feel of what works for your audience. Think in a different way on creating your content. Think about what your audience like to see. Having a social media account manager is a good sounding board. Engagements go up and down. The more consistent you are, the more responsive your followers will be. Focus on making your pages on different platforms consistent on information. Analytics will give you information on the best times to post. Mix and match articles. You want to be conversational on your hashtags. Emojis are very friendly in your posts.

June 21, 2016 • 55 MIN

How do you balance being the face of the company? How do you train people to advertise the product? US vs. Canada? Notes: - If you want is to be bigger and larger than yourself, you have to ask how your business is scalable and how it could potentially be saleable. - It’s very hard to exit from or sell a business if you’re into retail shows. - If you’re selling consumable low price item, wholesale could be the way to go depending on your wholesale discount. - The more we do video, the more that we look like a team when I talk about them. In skincare, you have to be a good sales person and you have to be well informed about the products. - Make zero claims about the product. - Canada is smaller in market size. - Storage in US is the way to go. Shipping back and forth is expensive. - Facebook Ads: depends on what product we are marketing. Most ads are remarketing ads going to the website or product page. Clicks targeted for US is lower across the board. Our Conversion rate for Europe is higher. - Pinterest is exclusively opened to US based business.
