S1 Ep 330(STRATEGY WITH MEG) Picking The Right Social Media Platforms For Your Niche
(STRATEGY WITH MEG) Picking The Right Social Media Platforms For Your Niche A big reminder: your business is NOT one social media platform. AKA, your business is NOT Instagram. Your business is NOT TikTok. Your business is NOT LinkedIn. Those are platforms you use to MARKET your business, but that's it. So it's SUPER important to not only have more than one to rely on for marketing purposes (since putting all your eggs into one basket is dangerous no matter what we're talking about), but to also reach more people. In this episode I'm helping you figure out which you should dive into FIRST to really optimize before adding on a second. The three questions I'll dive into (before I go into specifics about each platform) are… Where do your ideal clients hang out the most? Where are your ideal clients searching for help when it comes to the topic of your offer? Where do YOU like to hang out?/Where can you produce the most consistent content? If you're ready for hands-on guidance with producing consistent content that actually brings in clients AND how to disperse it on the different platforms, check out Unique Content Camp below!

S1 Ep 315(HEART TO HEART) Dealing With Negative Comments on Social Media
Going viral, growing quickly and building your social media presence all sounds like rainbows and butterflies and what a LOT of people say they desire. But WITH that quick growth can sometimes come backlash, negativity and people straight up leaving nasty comments on your page. How you handle that criticism is a whole other ballgame and easier said than done, and in this heart to heart I share how the fast growth we've seen on my new brands "Meg and Mike Do Marriage" IG account has been both amazing and terrifying because of some really hateful comments we've gotten when sharing our truth. This is the ugly side to social media, but my hope in this episode is to show you that by sharing YOUR truth you WILL attract the people and ideal clients that are right for you AND repel the people that quite frankly…are not.

S1 Ep 314(STRATEGY WITH MEG) The Difference Between Attraction, Nurture & Sales Content
The online space can feel like the wild, wild west sometimes, especially when it comes to creating content on Instagram. You post and post and post and end up feeling like the bad act at a comedy club…with RADIO SILENCE meeting you on the other end. A BIG reason I find newer coaches & course creators experience this? They don't understand the difference between attraction, nurture and sales content. They're trying to skip to sales content when they don't have any ideal client followers (because they skipped attraction content). Or they move straight from attraction to sales content, expecting their brand new followers to buy from them with zero warm up. HELLOOO that's like asking someone to get married on the first date #nothankyou In this quit hit episode I'm teaching you the difference between attraction, nurture & sales content and how to start creating all three.

S1 Ep 308(STRATEGY WITH MEG) What really helped me 5x my income in 2 yrs
Could you have done this on your own? ↑The question my husband asked me after I had my first six figure launch (after investing in many coaching programs for 1.5 years). And the honest answer? Maybe EVENTUALLY, but on the timeline I achieved that success? No way. The thing about investing in coaching people don't tell you in your first year of business… You need to continually invest money back into your business for it to grow to keep up that momentum. But it's not always about investing more each time, but in the RIGHT coaches, programs, strategies, etc that you need at that point in time to reach your next level. In this episode I share my investment history and why that was the #1 catalyst to me 5x'ing my income in one year.

S1 Ep 308(SOSA CLIENT CASE STUDY) First $10K Month with Mikayla Wright
Mikayla was no novice to business having had a company before joining SOSA with a business partner. But when she branched out and started her own hormonal health coaching company, she knew she needed to re-establish some of those foundations and sales systems, which is why she joined SOSA. A few months later she not only had a roster full of clients but hit her first $10K month. In this interview she shares her personal experience inside the program, why she'd recommend it AND why she's excited to support you if you decide to join us (because she's our newest co coach!) →Ready to start transforming your business today?

S1 Ep 307(SOSA CLIENT CASE STUDY) 12K TikTok followers, 5x coaching rates + more
Investing after you've "been burned" is no easy feat. Your trust is gone and you have your guard up. I'm no novice to disappointing investments, having made a BIG one a few years ago that set me back $18,500 (to the dollar). But I refused to let that bad investment stop me from making life changing ones; ones that have helped me have the million dollar business I have today. In today's bonus #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur podcast episode, one of our recent SOSA graduates, Laura, shares how she was TERRIFIED to join SOSA because she had joined a business program a year earlier that did NOT deliver on what was promised. But after literally seeing results in her business from implementing my FREE content, and talking it through, she knew she needed to take a chance and not let that bad investment stop her from making a life changing one. One that led her to… 5x her coaching rates Almost completely book out her 1-1 coaching roster from her first structured launch Grow to over 12K followers on TikTok Grow her email list by over 600 And she's just getting started. I can tell you how great the Smart Online Success Accelerator is all day long, but obviously I'm a bit biased as I'm the creator. Which is why I'm featuring TWO SOSA students in today's episode. The other recent SOSA grad we feature is Julie Santiago, a health and fitness coach specializing in macro coaching who secured three clients after one month in the program. If you know 2024 is the year to make your online business something you can be proud of, something that you no longer call your "side hustle" but proudly claim as your full time income…SOSA is the blueprint to help you get there, just like it was for Laura, Julie and SO many others.

S1 Ep 304(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW): Leveraging Your Podcast While Launching & What's The Deal With Private Podcasts
Can you actually SIGN clients FROM your podcast? If yes, HOW do you do this (especially for the launch of one of your high ticket programs)? And what's the big deal with this "private podcast" strategy I've been hearing so much about. My friend, we are diving into all that and MORE in this INCREDIBLE interview with podcast expert extraordinaire, Tara Counterman. Tara Counterman is on a mission to create opportunities for women to attract, earn, and live more through innovative podcasts and intentional marketing. She is the Founder and CEO of Profitable Podcast Co & The Podfunnel Company. From the moment she found out she was pregnant she knew she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom, and she quickly developed aspirations of building their families homestead - growing, preserving, cooking their own foods, and homeschooling their girls - going to work for 40+ hours a week wasn't something to settle for. Balancing being a mom, wife, and actually enjoying life outside of a screen takes constant diligence but she truly believes as women we get to have it all. Podcasts have been foundational in Tara's personal/business growth and since 2017 her & her team have been helping their clients to leverage the power of audio in their business to simplify, streamline, and amplify their voices.

Remember when I said in the last episode how this pregnancy has been smooth sailing? WELL…I spoke too soon.
