Girl, YES! I worked remotely at a coffee shop while wearing a hat with my logo and a woman approached me asking what it was...she ended needing someone with my services! Branded attire does wonders!
Wearing your own merch everywhere you go is not stupid or shallow at all. It's good business to market your business as much as possible. I prefer to wear my merch more than anything else. Reminds me I need to order some new merch. Thanks for the reminder! haha
I loved this. I haven’t been on social media in a whole year and I’ve noticed my business take a dive. So I plan to post videos here on RU-vid and Pinterest and see how that goes! Thank you!
Hello! I am a new follower from Michigan ❤️ I am just wrapping up my digital marketing science course through Grand Valley and I was pleasantly surprised to see that you were an instructor! I started listening to your podcast a couple of weeks ago, so it was a happy surprise to see your face in my learning modules this morning lol. You’re so generous with what you have learned and just wanted to say thank you! You’re amazing 👏👏👏
I guess I've drifted away from taking Social Media platforms seriously because of the lack of engagement. When I see people face-to-face, they mention: "hey, I like the Work you posted on Instagram!" ...but they didn't tell me that on Instagram. Not a Like. Not a Comment. Not a DM. Some people don't Follow. ..but they are Following me enough to know what I post. I stopped trying to understand why this scenario happens quite often. I'm in the process of updating my physical Portfolio to just meet people face-to-face and keep my Social Media platforms up-to-date in case someone wanders over there.
Such great advice Latasha, I particularly like the tip to wearing your own Merch such a great conversation starter! Also, with regards to UPWORK it's so NOT sexy lol and it can be competitive too and pricy with credits costing more and more. However, I appreciate everything you suggested and might give Upwork another shot!
Without Social Media - Great episode and topic. I loved your recommendations on previous episodes of "claiming the handle". We'll be doing that for Instagram and Tiktok, just so we're discoverable on those platforms... Other than than, updating so many social profiles is not feasible for a small business!
The Upwork suggestion is on point. I also agree with getting a gig that lets you meet people, but it needs to be gig where you are expected chat with customers clients -so hospitality industry. As for suggestions would like to hear more about SEO
Again, many thanks! Great insights as usual! I especially love your merchandise marketing ideas - fantastic! It would be great to hear more about SEO and social media marketing for small business owners.
Hey thanks for the tips. These are some things I was thinking about for my Breathe Thru Recovery channel and website. Let's me know some of my thoughts are on the right track. Thanks again.
Hello! Thank you for your content!❤️ I plan to translate my short videos into Spanish, with different voiceovers and captions, and upload them to separate accounts on Instagram and TikTok. The video lengths might vary slightly, but the visual elements will remain the same. Will this cause any issues?
Great, informative video. Thanks! I am a freelance SMM and I’ve noticed a local influencer that could help build a specific segment of my client’s audience. The client has over 130k followers and the influencer has about 6k. What would be some ways to work together. How do I charge for my service to organize this collaboration and how to reimburse the influencer. Some scenarios you have worked with would be very helpful! ❤
Hey, Latasha, was a great video really enjoyed the information but if you can really emphasis on how to create a lead especially when starting new in this industry it would be great, well love your podcast, thanx
Hey Latasha , Really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
Hey Latasha, great video as always! I'd be happy to talk to you about how to get email subscribers without social media. I have 10k+ email subs and about 1% came from socials.
