{E72} Fast Fix Fridays #22 Should I Start A Podcast?

In this week’s Q&A episode, I answer the question, “Should I Start A Podcast?” Quite a timely question as I am celebrating the 1 year anniversary of my podcast this month!

Now whether you should or shouldn’t do one is a good question because it seems like *everyone* is doing one these days. Sure, it’s a great way to get out there and reach a new audience and market your business, but you also have to consider that it takes time and plan for that. And think about what type of show you want to have- don’t just do another interview show because that’s what everyone else is doing!

{E71} Digging into Facebook Ads With Julie Lowe

Julie Lowe from Socially Aligned joins me today to talk all about Facebook ads and setting them up in the Power Editor. We talk about the importance of copy and conveying your ideal customer’s pain points, good images that are mobile friendly and understanding audience reach and budget.

 

We also talk about the importance of testing multiple ads, conversion rates and the conversion pixel.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Facebook is moving more and more to pay to play but ads do actually work if you do them right.
  • It’s important to address your target audience’s pain points and convey what’s in it for them in your ad.
  • Having a call to action is super important in your ad.
  • Test, test, test! You need to setup multiple ads and test to see what works.
  • Targeting bigger pages is not always better since many people are trying to get in front of those pages.

Celebrating One Year Of The Business Ignite Show With A Giveaway!

one yearIt’s hard to believe that it will be one year at the end of the month that the Business Ignite Show went live.

I remember when it was just an idea and something that I wanted to do for a really long time that eventually turned into my YESvember goal.

Last November 23rd, I hit publish on my first set of podcasts and got the much anticipated email from iTunes saying I was “in”. Woohoo!

One year later, and almost 70 episodes, I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to entrepreneurs from all over the world and sharing their brilliance, excitement and insights with you.

And I couldn’t have done it without you. The downloads, comments, emails, and social media shares all make it worth it.
