212: The Truth About Paid Ads (That Took Me Thousands of Dollars to Learn)

If your business has plateaued, it’s not because you need to work harder. It’s because you’re still relying on organic reach to scale a company that’s outgrown it. Let’s get one thing straight: Paid ads aren’t a luxury. They’re a leadership decision. At a certain level—especially when you’re scaling from six to seven figures—visibility isn’t optional. It’s oxygen. And yet, too many women keep trying to out-content a bottleneck that’s really just a lack of new eyes on the offer. 🔥 Hit subscribe for more breakthrough moments! 🔥 TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Why paid ads matter when you hit a plateau 0:40 – The #1 mistake most entrepreneurs make with ads 1:50 – Know where your audience actually is 2:22 – Why $10/day campaigns don’t cut it 3:40 – Real budget examples: What I spend monthly 6:00 – Data isn’t sexy, but it IS profitable 7:12 – Stop boosting posts (and do this instead) 9:40 – The truth about retargeting ads 13:00 – Why platforms reward you when you pay to play 14:15 – Running ads = growth AND organic reach boost 15:10 – Final thoughts: adapt, invest smart, and grow 📥 Missed a note?

EP 63: A Beginner's Guide To Being a Realtor Featuring Nakia Brooks

From police officer to Realtor, Nakia Brooks has had a long and distinguished career. As a Realtor for the past 18 years, he's personally closed over 1200 homes (700 of them being short sales which is how he ramped up his business). In the last 7 years he hasn't sold homes himself, instead investing in coaching and mentoring agents at the brokerage he opened in North Georgia. In this episode, Nakia talks about being the upcoming President to NAMAR Board of Realtors, and how humbled he was to recently be awarded the Realtor of the Year award for the Georgia Association of Realtors. He's literally 1 of 52,000 nominees and holds the honor proudly. He shares several tips on how you as an agent should be using the board you're a member of (even if you're like me and often times forget to pay your dues!) As a bonus to this interview, I had Nakia share his top lead generation system. One that has worked for him for 16 years and the system that he shares with tons of agents to help them go from less than $1 in the bank, to being financially stable.

Ep 168: 10 Ways To Guarantee Your Podcast Fails in 2024

2024 has started off on a bang! On today's episode. I'm spilling the tea on the 10 surefire ways your podcast is headed for failure in 2024 if you don't make some crucial changes. 🎙️ Rule #1: Don't skip market research! Just like cleaning your closet, understanding your Ideal Client Avatar (ICA) is essential. Market conditions change daily, and your ideal listener's struggles evolve. It's time to dig deep and get up close and personal with your audience. 💡 Rule #2 (00:07:10): Update those social media marketing tactics. Audiograms on Instagram reels? Sorry, darling, they're out. I'll spill the beans on what's trending and how to capture your audience's attention in 2024. 🎤 Rule #3 (00:08:45): Have a specific goal in mind when recording. Don't pick up the mic and start babbling aimlessly. Your podcast should tie into your business with a strong call to action. Know your niche, speak directly to your audience, and have a strategic plan. 📊 Rule #4 (00:10:19): Don't obsess over download numbers. Instead, focus on crucial analytics like listener retention. Understand how far into the episode your audience is staying. It's not about downloads; it's about engagement. 🎯 Rule #5 (00:12:57): Think big, not small. Set measurable goals that excite you. Whether it's consistency or a specific episode count, make sure your goals are achievable and align with your business strategy. 💻 Rule #6 (00:13:52): Keep your podcasting process simple. Podcasting is hard but simple. Avoid overcomplicating the process with extensive checklists. Create, outline, record, and schedule—keep it straightforward. 👭 Rule #7 (00:15:03): Don't go into this alone. Get yourself a business or podcasting bestie. Accountability partners are essential to keep you on track and motivated. Consider joining a community like Podcast Her Network for support. 📈 Rule #8 (00:17:23): Don't ignore your analytics. Dive deep into your podcast's analytics to understand your audience better. Where are they coming from, and who is your ideal listener? Let the data guide your decisions. 🌟 Rule #9 (00:18:52): Reviews are so last year. In 2024, Apple cares more about new subscribers than reviews. Focus on getting more people to listen and subscribe—word on the street is, it's the key to climbing the charts. 🚀 Rule #10 (00:22:00): Don't be everywhere. Instead of spraying your content on every platform, master one or two. Tailor your content to the platform and engage deeply with your audience. Quality over quantity, always. Ready to level up your podcast game in 2024? Tune in, take notes, and let's make your podcast a roaring success! 🚀🎧 Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so that you don't miss any insp-action taking episodes!
