Welcome to episode 377 of Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris. Let's talk strategy. I'm excited about this because now's the time guys. Not necessarily because this is gonna be the thing that changes your life in 2018, but because right now, this will make your social media time less stressful. This is not one of those big, grandiose, you know, 'this is the only way you'll see success next year' kind of episodes or kind of conversations. What it is, instead, is 'here's what you need to do to make your day-to-day less frustrating.' Now, as you've heard me talk about over the last month, now really is the time to be thinking about what's been happening and what you want, moving forward. Not because it's the end of the year, but because I'm guessing there is some goal that you have for the next 30 days or for the next 12 weeks, or for the next 12 months, that you'd like to see happen. And if you want to see that happen, you've got to be do

Welcome to episode 376 of Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris. All right guys, episode 376 is officially started. We're going to talk about communities today, and I want to talk a little bit about what I mean by that because sometimes there is a confusion about what community can mean and if a community is even possible in regards to a businesses' audience. And here is the real deal, not only is it possible, it's critical. Think about your favorite brands. Some people call massive supporters of Apple, for example, fanboys and fangirls or certain movie franchises or whatever the thing may be, Android devices, whatever the thing is. Those are all businesses, and they all have a rabid fan base. That fan base is the community. So you can have the same thing. In fact, it's critical that you have the same thing. I would even go as far as saying it's more valuable for you to have something like that as a small business owner, solopreneur, or micro business owner, whatever category you fall in

Welcome to episode 375 of Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris. Today on the show, we're gonna talk about change. Change is scary. But also, super like, gonna happen to everybody and every business and everything in your life. It changes, it evolves, it grows. And that's good. But I feel like this time of the year, November, we kind of see the end of the year ahead, or depending on maybe when you start your year, I know a lot of people do like, mid-year is kind of their start, so maybe you're at the halfway point of your "year," your reflection time, I feel like for me, though, I kind of run my year either ... I feel like I have a lot of these refresher times. Like, the school year, I guess September I always feel kind of like, it's new. But definitely, as the number changes, so in December and November, when we're looking ahead, this year is 2018 and like, January/February ... you have this whole. It's like the first page of a notebook. You have this whole stretch of tim

Welcome to episode 374 of Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris. All right, guys, it is November. Like, for realsies. And we have the first episode of November hitting you, which means it's three things you need to know. And they're all social media focused this month. Two Facebook notes and one Instagram. I'm amped. I'm really amped. I apologize in advance for my voice. I'm getting over a cold. But the content will be good if you can just bear with the voice, all right? All right, so let's jump right in by saying this episode, like all 373 episodes before it, is sponsored by Hit the Mic Backstage. HittheMicBackstage.com is the place to go if you are looking for a social media lifeline. Really, a lifeline is the right word here. Because that's where I'm doing updates all the time. Whenever networks make changes, that's where I share them. And in December, we have a brand new, completely revamped Facebook ads training coming out. We just released in the last two months

Welcome to episode 373 of Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris. All right guys, let's talk YouTube. So over the last several months I have raved and raved and raved about Facebook lives and how fantastic it can be to connect and I actually had somebody email in and say, "Well, what about YouTube? Do I still need to be doing videos on YouTube if I'm also doing all this Facebook video stuff?" And so that's what I wanna answer today. I want to talk about why YouTube is still totally relevant, still totally important and valuable, and wonderful, and how to use it to support what you're doing, maybe with other video channels. Before I do that, I do want to jump in and let you know Hit the Mic Backstage is absolutely your next stop after this episode because tomorrow, November 1st ... Holy crap, I can't believe it's going to be November tomorrow, we've got a brand new training launching a new training YouTube best practices, so it's really going to expand on everythin

Welcome to episode 372 of Hit the Mic with the Stacey Harris. I'm really excited for today's episode because I know it's one that only the truest of action takers is going to listen to. Thank you for listening to this because I know it means that you are somebody who is going to get it done. We're talking about LinkedIn today and LinkedIn is by far the least amusing social media network. However, it's also hugely valuable for pretty much everybody so we're going to talk about that a little bit today and I'm going to give you some tips on how to use it to score some business. Especially for those of you who are B2B but if you are not B2B, maybe you are business to consumer, there's still relevance because I'm guessing some part of your business could work B2B. A great example of this is health coaches who work with, let's say, new moms. You're fairly business to consumer. You don't have to be a business owner to be a new mom or to need a health coach.

Welcome to episode 371 of Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris. Welcome, welcome, welcome. This week we're going to talk about Facebook Ads. Some major changes and updates happening that I'm actually really excited about because I think they will make it easier for those of you who maybe are not super in love with Power Editor or even Ads Manager and the idea that there are two spaces that do different things. You're going to like today's news. Before we jump into that though, I do want to remind you Hit the Mic Backstage is the place to go for all things Facebook ads trainings. In fact, I'm currently working on and outlining some brand new Facebook Ads trainings that are actually doing to launch in just a couple of months in December, actually December 1st. Some brand new Facebook ads videos will launch inside the membership. Until then, the ones that are in there now are super awesome. And we have a brand new opportunity to grab a Facebook Ads training all around a strategy that'

Welcome to episode 370 of Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris. So recently I was asked to give a 15 minute talk at an event. I was like, "Okay, so 15 minutes, what do you want me to talk about?" They were like, "Oh, well like digital marketing." I was like, "Okay, more specifically." And they were like, "Search engine optimization." I was like, "Okay, more specifically." They were like, "Social media." I was like, "Still gonna need us to narrow that down for 15 minutes." So what we came up with was the one thing you can do right now, to improve your digital marketing, also known as your online marketing, but really this applies to anything marketing. Your marketing in general, your social media, your content, whatever. This one thing will make all of them better, so that's what were going to talk about today. Before we jump into that though, I want to remind you that this show is brought to you by its big brother, its natural upgrade, i

Welcome to episode 369 of Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris. All right, so today I wanna talk about the three things you need to know for October. Yes, it's October, straight up, month one of Q4, holy macaroni. I can't believe it, where did this year go? It's a crazy month for me, I'm doing a lot, a lot, a lot of traveling, which, I'll be honest, I'm pretty excited about. I've got some vacation time planned, yay. I've got a business trip planned. It's gonna be a good month. So, I wanted to jump in and I wanted to give you guys the stuff for October right at the start of the moth, so you can make the most of your time this month, no matter what's going on. Before we jump in, I wanna remind you that Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris, this podcast you're listening to right now, where we talk about all things online marketing, and digital marketing, and social media marketing, and e-mail marketing ... Yes, a lot of that was the same thing. It's sponsor

Welcome to episode 367 of Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris. I wanna talk today about behind the scenes content. I freaking love behind the scenes content. I think it is such a fun way to connect with our audience, and so I wanna talk about what it is, why we use it, and then I wanna give some examples for some different industries on how you can use it. So stay tuned for that, 'cause this is gonna be a really cool, kind of quickie episode about a fresh way to start sharing content. So, let's get started. Number one, what is behind the scenes content? So, behind the scenes content is any content that we're looking at, photos, videos, swipe files, anything where we're showing sort of the inner workings of our business, or maybe it's businesses that we work with, whatever it is. It's sort of, and this is the first thing that comes to mind, and it's a horrible, horrible phrase for this, but it's how the sausage is made; because sometimes people do wanna know. We're k

Welcome to episode 366 of Hit the Mic with The Stacey Harris. As I talked about last week, we talked about the fact that it's a little bit launch season. People are launching. So one of the things I wanted to talk about today is what you need to do, on social, and really what you need to do about your social, before you launch something. This could be a new program. This could be a new offering. This could be a new opt in. This could be a new podcast. Whatever it is that you're launching, I want to talk about some things that I want to do in regards to your social, before you open up Facebook and say, "Hey guys I have a new XYZ, go buy it please." All right? All right. Number one, build your plan. I know, and you're going to notice a lot in these next three steps, or this one and the following two steps rather, that it sounds a lot like planning your launch. I want you to apply the same logic to your social. This is called building a social media strategy, and it's absolutely cri

Welcome to episode 365 of Hit the Mic the Stacey Harris. Three things you need to know, September 2017 edition. It's that time of year, guys. Summer is over in the northern part of earth. Winter shoulder be coming to a close in the southern part of the earth, and it's launch time. I'm sure you guys are already getting inundated with emails about launches. I know I certainly am. I've been getting a ton of emails. Not just on promotion side of things, but potential clients and clients saying, "Hey. We want to do this in September. We don't want to do this in October, we want to do this in November," and I say, "Great. Welcome to launch season." I wanted to talk about some launch-related things today for the three things you must know. Really, they're all kind of around Facebook and using Facebook as a tool to launch whatever it is you want to launch. Number one thing I want you to know, don't just jump in and start selling on Facebook with your ads or with
