Start NOW! When starting a business or side hustle, we often think we need to wait until right before launch (or even after) to start marketing. However, you should actually start hyping up your new business in the months leading up to it. Don’t have months before launch? No problem! Here are several ways to start getting people hyped up for your business whether you’re 3 months from launch or you’ve already begun.
1) Do some hype up content on social media (yes, your business should have social media even if not launched yet!). This content could be of the physical space coming along, what products or services you’re offering, or behind the scenes of you getting things ready
2) If starting a business with a physical location, join your local Chamber of Commerce and have them host a ribbon cutting. No physical location? That’s okay! Host a launch party online or hype up the first market/event your new business will be attending!
3) Offer some sort of incentive for the first 3/10/20 people who buy your products or book your services. Maybe a gift card, a certain percentage off, or a free item with purchase/booking
In short, be your own hype person! Ask friends and family to spread the word. Don’t wait to market your business! It could mean the difference between 1 or 2 sales and sold out in those beginning days 🙌🏻✨

Choosing which events to attend as a vendor can be challenging. There’s so many options and it can be pricey if you’re not making sales or gaining new customers. So how do you choose between large markets and small markets? I say there are pros and cons to both. But the success of these events really comes down to how well organized they are and how well they are marketed.
So ask around to other fellow business owners, see which events they have done that they’ve enjoyed and which they say to avoid. And always make sure you are marketing the event as well. Don’t leave everything up to the organizers, you need to be your own advocate.
So what are your thoughts on markets? Are they worth the money?

Today I wanted to take a moment to share a little bit about my story and explain how Business Ownership has actually helped my mental health. I know many days can seem so overwhelming and you can question if you made the right decision. Being a business owner is HARD! But if I had to do it again, I would make the same decision over and over again. I have so much more time for my family and my work/life balance has never been better. I am so thankful for everyone who has helped me in this journey. It is because of you all that I am able to be the person I am today and be the mom I always wanted to be. This is literally a dream come true ✨

Unless your business is only online and anyone from anywhere can buy from it, you NEED to include your service area. So many times I find a new business on Instagram and I go to their profile and can’t find where they’re located or where they service. So then if I’m really interested, I’ll go to their website. Not there either? I’m done and have moved on.
Do NOT miss out! Make sure to have your service area or location listed everywhere online- social media profiles, website, Google business page, Yelp page, Vagaro-everywhere! Not only will this help your SEO and help the algorithm find your target audience, it will ensure that potential customers become actual customers. It only takes a few minutes, so go do it now!

We all hit those plateaus. Our numbers remain stagnant and may even drop a little. Even people who have been consistently posting and getting lots of engagement hit a plateau from time to time. Instead of getting frustrated, giving up, or cutting back, try getting an outsider’s perspective instead. Having someone outside of the business give you insight as to what they’re seeing can help you see where you need to change things up. And remember, some things just take time. Stay calm. Stay consistent.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not spam people with emails. It is a sure fire way to have your content tuned out by them. It’s the same with posting multiple times a day on social media, people just start tuning you out and your messaging gets lost. Here is when you should be emailing:
-When you have sales or promotions
-New product alerts
-Important info like store closures, moving locations, or store hour changes
-Events your business will be at (festivals, markets, etc) or events you are having in your store
And these do not need to all be separate emails. So if you are emailing daily or even multiple times daily, please rethink your strategy. People are overloaded with emails and this may backfire on you and your business.

This is a really easy hack to get early trending audios to find you instead of vice versa! Early trending audios are one way to have your content pushed out to more people, so if you’re looking to grow on Instagram, then this hack is for you!

Early Trending Audio vs The Trending Audio List: Early Trending Audio wins every time! Although a little more time intensive than just going through the Trending Audio List, if your goal is to get your content pushed out to more people, then Early Trending Audio is the way to go. How do you know if an audio is the right audio to use?
1) The audio has less than 10,000 uses
2) The first reel to use the audio has over a million views
3) If you come back the next day and the amount of uses has significantly increased (aka hundreds to thousands of uses)
Even if the following day the use is over 10,000 still go ahead and use that audio! And if you want to find out how to train your algorithm so that the early trending audios find you instead of vice versa, then come back tomorrow for my next video! (My posts go out at 7:30pm)
