From paying thousands for a site you can’t even edit… to realizing your client data might not even be yours… yeah, it gets real. And then—we flip it. The last part of this episode is packed with rapid-fire website + SEO tips that every PMU artist should know (but most don’t).

    $15K for Marketing… Here’s What Happened | Inspired by Ms Amber Red

    Send us Fan Mail You know those moments where you realize… yeah, I almost got played? This episode is exactly that. We’re back with Tracy with Be Envied Beauty co for part two, and now we’re getting into the stuff that actually drains artists—marketing scams, overpriced agencies, losing control of your own website, and why depending on the wrong people can quietly wreck your business before it even starts. If you’ve ever thought, “I should just hire someone to do all this for me”… you might want to listen to this first. Because we’re breaking down what’s actually worth it… and what’s straight-up BS. We also get into something even bigger: why learning the basics yourself might be the difference between building a real business… or getting taken advantage of. If you’re in the beauty business (or trying to be), this episode might save you thousands of dollars and a lot of regret.

    Send us Fan Mail Join us in this 4-part series where we chat with Tracy from Be Envied Beauty Co. about her journey and so much more! She flew in from Minnesota for training… but what came out of this conversation? Way deeper.

We’re talking shady trainings, broken apprenticeship systems, fake promises, and the real reason so many artists are struggling behind the scenes.

    The PMU Industry You Started In? Yeah. It Doesn’t Exist Anymore | Miranda Bofenkamp

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Amber is joined by another OG artist: Miranda Bofenkamp. Tune in to hear us break down how permanent makeup has actually evolved over the last 10 years—from pigments and techniques to the way clients find, stalk, and choose their artist. Believe it or not clients purchasing behavior has changed and if you don't adapt, you’re probably feeling more and more left behind. We talk trailblazers who paved the way, lessons we learned the hard way, and why adapting isn’t optional anymore if you want to stay booked and relevant. If you’re doing PMU like it’s 2015… this episode might sting (in a good way). 🎧🔥 website: www.salonsciences.institute name of school: UNISS (Union National Institute of Salon Sciences) Support the show 🎙️ Follow & connect with us: IG: msamberred - https://www.instagram.com/msamberred/ TikTok: msamberred - https://www.tiktok.com/@msamberred?_t=8We7Q2Gtd0&_r=1 FB: msamberred permanent makeup - https://www.facebook.com/Msamberred Website: http://www.inspiredbymsamberred.com Support our podcast here! - https://www.buzzsprout.com/2235069/support Disclaimer: The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed are the speaker’s own and do not represent the views, thoughts, and opinions of Ms Amber Red & Inspired by Ms Amber Red.
