We have been hearing that video is the way to go and we need to start creating more videos if we want to get leads or sales for our businesses. What people are not talking about is creating discoverable videos beyond social media. As business owners, we need to ensure that our videos are surpassing the shelf life of social media. We need to be creating videos and distributing them on platforms that are connected to search engines and mechanisms to be found for years to come. How many times have you Googled something and got an answer from a video that was 6+ years old? Happens all the time but not on social media. So in this episode, we dive into the 5 places you should be distributing your videos and some strategies to maximize your video discoverability.

TTT recently did their Generation Next segments with Khary Roberts diving into the world of Social Media Influencers and interviewed 2 popular ladies on IG. The segments in my opinion were really really bad. The purpose of the segments was to highlight how people could become social media influencers and how to turn this into a way to make money. Unfortunately, they missed the mark entirely. There was no homework done on the industry to have a good conversation to actually help people learn how to turn this into a viable business. Instead, we got 2 segments where they interviewed 2 ladies who highlight everything that is wrong with Social Media and why marketing agencies have lost faith in working with people with large followings. They also focused on only 1 way to make money, which was to work with brands. Not only is that the lowest hanging fruit, but it is also the most inadvisable way for popular people to make money on social media. We dive deeper into the topic in this episode.

Apparently, the good Lord knew I needed to disappear for a bit and stop working and he also knew that I wouldn't just pick up myself and disappear for a few works. So he sent Covid for me to ensure that I took a much-needed vacation from the interwebs lol. Folks, I have been gone for a few weeks because I ended up getting Covid and it kicked my ass for 10+ days. I am however on the mend, at the time of making this episode I'd safely say that I am at about 80% and thankfully no hospitalization was needed. I just wanted to talk a little about my experience and dive into why you haven't seen me since the beginning of the month. I encourage everybody to continue doing their due diligence, sanitize, build your immune systems and keep safe during these Covid times.

If you are a Caribbean-based business then nobody needs to educate you on how frustrating it has become to use Instagram to build your business. You follow all the gurus, the experts, hire coaches and then begin to realize that all of the things they are teaching you in order to grow your brand exponentially are with tools or features that are not available in the Caribbean region. At this point, to hope and pray for features to come to the Caribbean is foolish and you cannot build a business plan around the things you do not have access to. That being said, when you start looking at all of the digital channels you can have or the other social media platforms that offer specific benefits, it may be time to start evaluating your digital strategy. Linkedin, TikTok, Facebook and Youtube offer major benefits for Caribbean businesses and creatives that aren't available to us here in the Caribbean. In this episode, we dive into detail why we should begin weening ourselves off of Instagram before it's too late and how the other social media and digital channels can be used to help grow our businesses in a big way.

I'm sure you have heard by now that Facebook has rebranded under the new name "Meta". This is not just a facelift because of legal troubles but represents a major change in their direction and how we understand exactly what the new company is all about.

ooking to grow your brand, business, spread your message, generate leads or sales? To do all of that digitally, there are things we need to put in place that goes beyond the realm of social media. I call it our Digital Foundations. A website is not a static brochure to display a product or contact info...It is the #1 Employee and Sales rep for your brand. It collects data, shows up in front of people who are looking for things related to your niche, takes your bookings and makes you money. For your website to do this, you will need to learn how to extract data from the search engines to craft the right content and optimize your pages to be found via the search engines. Your Blog or Post Section should be getting the most love on your website. This is where you create content on your website from the written blogs, audio and video posts. Learning the type of content to create, optimizing them for search and how to properly distribute it on the various digital channels is a key part of success. So join me on Oct 23, Oct 30, Nov 6 for the Digipreneur Foundations Workshops...Each session builds on top of the other. Each session is $30usd/$200ttd but if you take all 3 sessions, you can use the Code: Foundation and save $15usd/$100ttd off. To register for the workshops or get more info, visit The Digipreneur Foundations Workshop Series. I look forward to seeing you there.

In Ep 41, I dive into marketing and branding lessons that I learned from watching a battle rap interview and the boxing match between Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder. What really stuck out for me was the content business model, the importance of your own platforms in order to have more control over key elements in your business, that talent isn't enough to win and that ultimately building a brand surrounding your talent is the key to digital success. I watch Battle Rap and Boxing for my own escapism this weekend and I ended up having to pull out the notepad to take down some really good lessons.

Flow Business & BTC have come together to put forward a really good month-long series to help Caribbean businesses out in a big way.

This was 5 years in the making but the month of Sept allowed me to hit my highest month in profit within my business. I was able to hit over 30kusd with my ecosystem of products & services. One of the best things I did during this journey is learning how to monetize your content and scale your business through digital products & services. When I started off my business Droid Island, I learned real quick that with a brick and mortar store, there are just so many costs associated with running it and any disruption in the value chain can throw off your costs or delivery times to your consumers. Becoming a 100% digital business, allowed me to scale and put more profit into my bank. While I know we have people on Linkedin making a heck of a lot more lol...we all have to start somewhere and I'm glad to have hit this milestone in the middle of this pandemic.

Want to hear some good and bad news? Remember the "New Normal" that you have been hearing about for some time now? Well, we are transitioning again to another new normal and who knows how society has been reshaped whenever we finally get past the pandemic. With costs of goods/services raising and industries being transformed, I have been starting to feel more and more that the only way for people to be able to ride the upcoming waves, is by learning how to tap into our suppressed entrepreneurial spirit and learn how to generate new revenue streams for themselves and families. Entrepreneurship is something that needs to be taken more seriously during these times, especially because people are becoming discouraged by the limitations of the current job market. Not everybody will be able to get a job but everyone can leverage their knowledge and skills to create revenue. The good news is that we have so many ways to learn new skills and we are no longer limited to only the opportunities presented in our countries. So whilst many of you are not interested in building a fortune 500 company, learning how to tap into our entrepreneurial spirit and find creative ways to generate money needs to become a priority moving forward.

In this Case Study on Monetization, we will be looking at the channel "Aquarium Info". One of her videos showed up on Facebook Watch as I was scrolling down my feed and caught my attention.

In this segment of our Sunday Motivation, I wanted to share with you a download I received today. Audit Your Social Media!!! When is the last time you sat down and intentionally went through your social media and began removing or muting content or people, that no longer serve where you are in your life?

One of the best things I ever did was focus on creating business content. It's different than creating random videos for entertainment purposes on social media.

Getting business in the Digital Age is not like what businesses are accustomed to in the Caribbean, it is completely different than what is required for Brick & Mortar stores. Businesses in the region still try to rely on their brand name when getting traffic to their website and haven't realized that the digital world is less about the brand name and more about who understands how to be found for the right Google Search Queries. Do you know how to show up for your potential client's problems or desires online? In this episode, we dive into 7 tips to help build your discoverability and increase the traffic/awareness to your platforms and grow your brand.

As we are have passed a year and a half since the first lockdown here in T&T, I thought it may be a good time to look at how Covid has changed my business, restructured my life and beliefs. This was definitely the shake-up I needed personally to begin crafting a business that makes me wake up happy every day and my stress levels have been the lowest it's been for me in over a decade. I hope that these 4 lessons that I have received during this pandemic have at least giving you something to think about and possibly implement in your own life and business.

In the Digital Age, Content Marketing is the #1 form of marketing. It's what establishes brands/people as thought leaders, it is the best way to build trust amongst your customers and it's also the top way to drive traffic to your platforms & social media pages. However, getting the content right is critical. Blogs, Podcasts, Videos and Live Video all have their pros/cons but the 1 thing that is consistent for all of them is...Relevance! Take a look at these 6 ways to find relevant content that you can use that will ensure you are creating the best content for your audience.

In this episode, we dive into 6 reasons why a solopreneur does not need to build a team to create or scale a business. The beauty of being a Solopreneur lies in the flexibility we have with our time and location freedom but we can also leverage tools, automation and freelancers to perform tasks within our business. It all comes down to a choice. We are now able to scale a business through digital means, as long as that that is what we desire to do. In 2021, a Solopreneur no longer needs to scale by adding a team but can create multiple streams of income and still be the lone wolf in their business. It will also give you the freedom of only relying on yourself and not have to worry about other people within your business. ***I made a mistake in the episode...Youtube has paid out the equivalent of 345k Full-Time jobs in the US...not 60k***

As E-Commerce continues to grow within Trinidad and Tobago, the regulators and stakeholders are doubling down to make sure that all service providers are compliant, so that the protection of the consumers can be protected to the highest degree. In this interview, we speak with Stephon Duncan of Social Pay and Ocey Phillips - Ecommerce Consultant on the state of E-Commerce in T&T. Social Pay has recently suspended its services to ensure they are fully compliant with the regulators and we were able to break down what the process is for those who are looking to create their own payment facilitation company or a marketplace in T&T. We even dove into how business owners and consumers can check to see if the marketplaces & payment service providers that they are using to build their businesses, currently have their required licenses from the Central Bank of Trinidad & Tobago, Mastercard and Visa to operate. The last thing you want is to for you to invest time and money into building your brand on a platform, only to be told that they are now being shut down due to not having the proper licenses to operate. To learn more about Social Pay, visit their website Socialpaytt.com

Growing up, whenever I heard people say that "You could be anything you want", I never believed it because I never got to see people around me becoming what they wanted. I saw people who did what they had to do to survive but never become what they wanted to be. Fast forward to the time we live in now and with all of the tools and resources available to us, my belief now is that we are only limited by our creativity. Everyone's situations are different but it is encouraging when you see people being able to support themselves and families by just learning how to use their smartphone. The time for creativity is now and I hope that whatever life you are creating, you lean into thinking outside of the box to innovate within your respective niche.

In this episode, we go live with the CEO of Caribshopper...Mr. Kadion Preston.

We dove into how businesses can export their products to the North American market, what Amazon now allowing Caribbean product makers to partake in the Sellers program means for the region and good ol fashion advice from an entrepreneur who has had to raise funding to build what we know as Caribshopper.

The Digital Age is going to require you to make the biggest mindset shift in our lifetime. The rules have changed and most of what we were taught has expired. If you can accept that technology is the great equalizer and are willing to learn the skills needed that will have you start and run a business from a laptop, you can carve out your space to succeed. The Entrepreneur & The DigiPreneur whilst both enterprising...will take 2 routes different routes to a goal. The difference is that many of us can't even get started becoming entrepreneurs because of all the hurdles. The DigiPreneur can be anybody with an idea, a computer and an internet connection!

If there is 1 message I want to repeat to everybody, it is this one. You do not need people to understand your journey, understand where you are coming from, give you permission, to cheer you on...you don't need this from anybody. People will always doubt or critique, what they cannot wrap their minds around. Whether this is family, friends, people we are in relationships with...we do not need their permission or validation to pursue our dreams. This is how people never get their ideas off the ground!

In 2021, we here in the Caribbean need to step up our marketing efforts. We have yet to make the shift necessary to understand that marketing is a revenue-generating activity and learn that great marketing sells or generates leads. Social media marketers of the Caribbean...likes and engagement means nothing to CEOs who are looking at their bottom line & you can't show how your work generates revenue. These 5 areas outlined in this episode are key areas for improvement.

We live in a time where it's harder to give excuses for our situations. We can learn skills right from home, start businesses with just a smartphone and connect with anybody across the globe. Limitations are for those who aren't creative enough to create a solution. Let's take the time this week to learn how to change the stories in our heads when we come across the challenges that we face. Most times, when faced with something that is giving us a tough time, we create more excuses as to why to quit than reasons we need to press on. If we learn how to change the stories we tell ourselves to complete tasks, we can limit the excuses we give ourselves to not get something done. I know for me, this episode is serving as a pep talk to myself to finally change the narrative in my head about working out and getting back into physical form that would allow me to find better mental focus. #NoExcuses Visit Digipreneur.FM website and subscribe to the email & notification list.

We break down how to get paid on platforms like Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Wordpress, Fygaro, Buzz Shops and WiShops.

In this week's edition of Sunday Motivation's, we revisit one of my most popular pieces of content that I created...Each One, Teach One. I was feeling a bit under the weather this weekend but I didn't want to miss our Sunday session. The old African proverb "Each One, Teach One", is a message that I wish to spread across the Digipreneur family. Helping our community to level up will never take away from what you do. The only way the Caribbean region is going to rebound from the pandemic is by a collective movement. I hope you enjoy today's message.

One of the biggest issues that have been popping up frequently during the course of the pandemic is "Burn Out". It's a question that I get asked a lot because of the amount of work that I do and to be honest, when I give people my response, they are usually a bit shocked. Since starting my business back in 2016, I have never felt burnout or coming close to it. I have needed to kind of sit with the reasons why I may not feel those feelings that people describe and I have narrowed it down to 6 key things within my life that has helped me. Burnout is definitely real and I am not telling you that it doesn't exist. The people who do feel it, their feelings and reasons are valid. I think you should listen to them and take lessons from them and then also take notes from those who haven't experienced burnout. That way you have 2 perspectives that you can now use to help guide you. Visit Digipreneur.FM and subscribe to the email list to keep up to date on all of the episodes.

When it comes to taking our businesses online, collecting data and measuring our marketing success, Caribbean Businesses struggle in this area because of the lack of infrastructure in their business. Without things like your Website, CRM, Analytics Tools, Email List and more, it is very hard as a business to build online and measure the activities that you are doing. If you don't know things like which platforms are generating the most traffic or business for you, what are the top questions/keywords that are leading people to your business, which influencers are driving the most traffic or sales to your business, then you are doing this wrong. The struggle comes down to a lack of understanding of the tools and infrastructure needed in order to answer some of the most basic questions on how our brands are performing digitally. In this episode, I cover 6 key pieces of infrastructure that your brand needs in order for marketing and digital success.

In this episode, I wanted to take a dive into the things that allowed my side business, Droid Island, to generate 300k during the pandemic, without any Ad spend. I learned some valuable lessons in 2020 and I hope that the information shared in this episode, will highlight some of the practical things that you can do to start adding revenue to your business. There are also some critical skills I want you guys & gals to really take a look at. I believe that as a small business owner, learning things like SEO & Content Marketing from platforms like Hubspot, SEMRush, AHrefs, Google Digital Garage, you can learn how to extract data on your audience and build the right products/services based on their needs.

When I create content, I tend to focus on giving as much practical and tangible information, so that my audience can implement the content immediately in their business or take steps to implement it. I try to stay away from the obscure advice, it's just never been my thing. However, I am constantly told that I have my own way of motivating folks and the more I am asked to speak and motivate an audience, I have started to see what you have all been telling me for some time. Every Sunday, I am going to drop my own style of motivational sessions...In this first episode, I woke up with a simple download...That download was "All Hands On Deck In The Caribbean." We need you, your energy, your talents, your perspectives in order to develop the region. We need strong ties with the diaspora and need more of them to come back to the region to merge with our homegrown talent for us to grow. I hope that this episode speaks to at least 1 person and If it does, reach out to me and let me know that you are ready to be an agent of change in the region.

If you are looking to start getting paid online and want to learn about the platforms you need, payment processors and what it will take for clients from anywhere in the world to pay you online...this episode is for you. We break down some key elements for Caribbean E-Commerce so that your businesses across the region have some guidance as to what they will need and a starting point for them to do their homework. Remember, everybody's situation may be different from yours. So what tools and platforms may work for 1 business, may not be the best fit for another business. Keep that in mind when you are fielding information for friends/families. and other business owners. Reach out to me at [email protected] if you have any further questions or need to book a discovery call.

In Ep.6, we take a look at how you can create 10 streams of income within your brand! When people talk about creating multiple streams of income, we don't advise that you go about creating 10 different businesses. What we need to take a deeper look at is how we can grow our brands and implement a variety of revenue streams that complement each other. The Digital Age makes this a lot easier due to the systems available to us now for each of the monetization methods to flow seamlessly within your business. Don't forget to drop a review on this episode and I would love to hear about which revenue stream that you are excited to launch within your business.

One of the reasons here in the Caribbean that businesses don't have a website is because they don't actually know what a website can do for their business besides showcasing products/services. With that in mind, it's no wonder why most businesses owners will prefer to use social media for free and not invest in having a website. In this episode, we break down 6 ways that your website can help grow your business. Make sure you have a pen and paper handy, these are things that you are going to want to enquire about to have integrated into your business. If you need further assistance after this episode, feel free to book a discovery call with me and let's talk.

In Ep 4, we address one of the biggest problems plaguing Caribbean Entrepreneurs in the region...which platform should I use to build my website? Whenever we in the Caribbean go to Google to get insights on this topic, we are always met with information from experts who are not in our market. We then act upon the information we receive thinking that their information is relevant to the region and that lands us in the world of trouble. I break down each of the major platforms like Wix, Squarespace, WordPress & Shopify and how they work in our region. I also dive into Caribbean-made solutions like WiShops, Fygaro and Buzzshops.

In Ep. 3...I walk you through tips to identify your passions and dive into strategies of how you can turn them into a business. Growing up, we were always told that you could be anything you wanted to be but I couldn't see the opportunities. In this Digital Age, the Internet has really levelled the playing field. The vast sea of technology has allowed us to tap into markets and create services for niche industries all over the world and use digital means to scale or at least create a supplemental income. Share this podcast with someone who feels stuck in their day job, looking for a change or has been asking themselves how they could identify their own passions and to those who have a passion but looking for a starting point to turn it into a business.

In this episode, we break down my top 7 reasons why you should become a Digipreneur. I firmly believe that if more people in the Caribbean region learned how to tap into the global economy, collectively we would be better off. Also for my listeners who are in the diaspora, if you became a Digipreneur, you would be able to live in the Caribbean and operate your business remotely. I hope you enjoy this episode and feel free to reach out to me if you were able to get some value.
