Why I Love What I Do and Why You Should Too.

Why I Love What I Do

There is such an adrenaline rush I get when I speak to women in business and show them how by changing their business tools and using resources will help them overall.

What gives me an even bigger rush is when they implement these strategies and see the results. That alone, seeing my clients get results and watch their business transform and grow, that is my ultimate satisfaction.

When I talk to online business owners, a lot of them tell me why they are frustrated and that nothing they have tried on their own is working for them.

I get it, because I have been in the same boat! I have not always been the confident woman in business. In fact I started out with no clue if anything at all will work as I had planned.

But somehow along the way, I saw results and this propelled me to track my performance and repeat the success model, with that I started helping others solving their “business problems”.

I realized that many of the people who were coming to me for help had one thing in common, a desire to succeed and do better but they were overworked and super stressed trying to figure everything out on their own. Trying to learn every Social Media platform there is, spending time trying to do their own book keeping, trying to work out their mailing processes. All this contributed to their stress levels and took time from what it is they actually where good at.

That’s about the time that I started offering coaching services and teaching other women in business digital strategies

and Why You Should Too

I realized that I was now helping women to earn more in their businesses, so they could take better care of their families financially and in turn afford to hire experts to help in the areas they were not so great at and free up their precious time to do what they really were good at.

This is why I love what I do!

And it all started with my passion and teaching women in business how to be successful using what they already have.

Are you on Instagram Stories Yet?

Posted on August 4, 2016August 4, 2016 by admin

Wait a minute, I should pause and change that question. Let me start over. Have you heard about Instagram Stories? If you answered no to that question and are still wondering what Instagram Stories is, then this blog post is here to bring you up to speed. I can pretty much sum it all up in one sentence.

Instagram Stories is Snapchat. Period!

Yes, Instagram surprised us yesterday and quietly released it’s latest platform update, simply named INSTAGRAM STORIES. When I say this Instagram Stories is Snapchat. I mean just that. If you have not yet tried out Snapchat, don’t worry, just master Instagram Stories and Voila you have also mastered Snapchat. Killing two birds with one stone. Pretty much.

Ok to be fair, they are similar. Actually too similar. Similar as in Copy and Paste.

I could not get over how similar they are. But maybe I am being to judgemental here. Why try to reinvent the wheel when you have the power to just add a feature, wait a minute, I’m struggling with my words today to describe this, let me try again and add some figures to back me up. When you have over 500 million active users on Instagram, and you want to keep them active on your platform. And after conducting market research, you give them what they love. All within Instagram, making it the new Bad Ass of Social Media and keep your users engaged and active. Happy active engaged users equals more ad revenue for Instagram. It’s pretty genius if you ask me. But what I would really love to know is what is Snapchat’s next move going to be. Or better yet why Instagram did not just eliminate the competition and buy out Snapchat?

Enough with the questions. Don’t get left behind.

So here is how to get yourself up to speed and not miss out on yet another social media platform that you can use to build a tribe and grow your business.

How to get started with the Instagram Stories Feature:

Introducing Instagram Stories, a new feature that lets you share all the moments of your day, not just the ones you want to keep on your profile. As you share multiple photos and videos, they appear together in a slideshow format: your story.

With Instagram Stories, you don’t have to worry about overposting. Instead, you can share as much as you want throughout the day — with as much creativity as you want. You can bring your story to life in new ways with text and drawing tools. The photos and videos will disappear after 24 hours and won’t appear on your profile grid or in feed.

You’ll see stories from people you follow in a bar at the top of your feed — from your best friends to your favorite popular accounts. When there’s something new to see, their profile photo will have a colorful ring around it.

To view someone’s story, just tap on their profile photo. It’s easy to view stories at your own pace: tap to go back and forward or swipe to jump to another person’s story. If you want to comment on something you see, you can tap and send a private message to that person on Instagram Direct. Unlike regular posts, there are no likes or public comments.

Your story follows the privacy settings of your account. If you set your account to private, your story is visible only to your followers. However, you can also easily hide your entire story from anyone you don’t want to see it, even if they follow you. When watching your own story, swipe up to check out who’s seen each photo and video. You can even choose to feature a particular part of your story by posting it on your profile.

Instagram has always been a place to share the moments you want to remember. Now you can share your highlights and everything in between, too.

Don’t see Instagram Stories yet on your profile, hang on tight. Its coming your way as Instagram Stories will be rolling out globally over the next few weeks on iOS and Android.

Passive Income Systems Setup

Posted on June 6, 2016 by admin

On this Monday morning, I’d like to inspire you as a business owner to always be evolving in what you do. In today’s world there are so many ways to add revenue to the bottom line. I will go over how to set up your passive income systems, that will put your sales into auto pilot and generate revenue for you over and over again.

Today I woke up to 5 PayPal notifications on my iPhone. Well it made me smile, as I realized, while I slept my business continued. Hey, I mean you could go to bed and dream of making money. I simply, went to bed and woke up to PayPal notifications. Talk about starting your day right. Well wait a minute that doesn’t sound right. I am actually a very humble person but I thought to write this blog post to highlight the value of having systems in place that work for you while you are not working. Systems that allow you to create a passive income revenue stream.

This is very important to me. Why? It allows me to free up my time and spend valuable hours with my children, so that I do not miss them growing up and blame it on the business. Having systems in place allows me time for them. Systems that allow us to travel and if setup correctly continue generating passive income while we are away.

So when I say I wake up happy to PayPal notifications, does not mean I only live for them but they allow me the luxury to be the best mum possible to my children. So yes, the notifications put a smile on my face along with everything else that makes me smile each morning. I do not want to bore you with the details or else we will easily move from a business blog post to multiple stories about my children.

So I decided to blog about it here with you and share how this Serial Business Owner a.k.a. Multi-passionate Business Woman makes money while she sleeps.

What systems do I have in place that allow the automation of purchases even when I am not working?

I am a Multi-passionate Business Woman. I find opportunities to make money or invest in. However the formula is the same regardless of what industry you are in or what niche you serve.

Get a URL, put together a few pages, launch and sit back while the money comes in. Right? Wrong!

Design a Landing Page

There is an old saying build it and they will come! Sadly this is not quite the case in business. You have to put in more work than just yay I have a website. They will mysteriously find it and I will make a killing in sales. Keep reading to see why your website is relevant to you making money while you sleep.

Build your Mailing List

Use social media to build a following of your ideal customers. Choose a platform that your idea customers hangout on. Post consistently and establish your expertise. Use the 80:20 formula. 80 percent of your posts should be giving value and showing off your expertise. 20 percent of your posts should be call to action posts. That is, posts which end with a call to action. An action you want your ideal potential customer to take. This is gold! You are using this to send your target audience to your website that you have ready to capture their email address and add their email to your mailing list.

Nurture your Email Subscribers/ Setup an Email Sequence.

There are email providers that you can setup a free account to nurture your new email subscribers by setting up an email sequence to nurture these leads. You want to do this so that you are warming them up for the sale. Leading them through a series of emails that you have scheduled. It could a new product that you are launching and only members of your email list can purchase ahead of time at a special price before you make it live on the website at full price. It could be a flash sale promotion or discount code they can apply at check out.

This is all setup once and just let the email processor take care of the rest.

Setup a PayPal Account to Process your Passive Income

You will need a PayPal account setup to process your sale. Create a button that you can add to your website or email sequence that they can click on and process payment. It is important to keep everything very simple and easy for the customer to easily complete the sale. You want to build interest in your email sequence so that they are throwing their credit card at you to process. Make sure your offer is irresistible. Add bonuses. Adding more value to your offer. Ensure you highlight that this offer is time sensitive, e.g. purchase before 11:59PM before the regular price of $XXX.XX becomes effective. Stick to your timeline and make no exceptions.

Create An Irresistible Free Gift

An irresistible free gift helps move your ideal potential customer of your social media platform onto your landing page and they exchange their email address for this free gift. Now that you have lured them for your free gift. Now you can market to them directly in their inbox!

In my signature program Social Media + Sales Funnels = $uccess I go over the this in more detail step by step and you learn how to set this up so that you wake up happy to payment notifications for your business. Going into autopilot allows you to take time to enjoy the things that matter most to you, in my case it is spending time with my family and allows us to enjoy life, take vacations and work from whereever.

How to Leverage Social Media During the Super Bowl Game

Posted on February 7, 2016February 7, 2016 by admin

I just sent out a tweet to join in on the Super Bowl action. There are hashtags going around so that is enough to get my attention. Full disclosure alert: I have never ever watched a Super Bowl Game. Not one, but I am making it a point that I do not miss out on this much attention.

As an online business owner, I have to pay attention to this live event. Did you know that the average cost of a commercial that has a spot during the Super Bowl 50 game has paid approximately $5,000,000.00 – repeat after me: FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. They have hired the best of the best to create their ad campaigns and maximize that $5,000,000.00 budget. Facts on the table, I do not have a $5,000,000.00 advertising budget, but what I can leverage is the power of Social Media to participate and engage with Super Bowl Fans.

Social Media Platform + Wifi Connection = Free Targeted Audience at your fingertips. What you do with this Gold mine is what will count.

Social Media+Wifi = Free Targeted Audience at your fingertips.

There is going to be a lot of noise so the key is to stand out from the rest. Be different or be very entertaining with your meme. You never know, yours could be the one that gets shared over and over and over again. Make sure you brand it with either your website or logo.

Here is my strategy for tomorrow:

I have created my meme for my Social Media Platforms, that I am going to post strategically. I have also curated the Hashtags I will use. I have also read up a bit, did a little research so that I can follow along in conversations and comment authentically in a non spammy kind of way.

5 Reasons Why You Should Start Using Instagram Today

Posted on January 29, 2016January 29, 2016 by admin

Instagram has been around for since October 2010 and has over 500 MILLION active users each day. This is an ever growing platform that allows for one on one engagement with your idea customers.

Here are 5 reason’s why you should also be engaging more on your Instagram Account.

Before I begin here is a BONUS tip.

If your account is for BUSINESS it should not be PRIVATE. This is a BIG no no.

Click To Tweet

Remember there are 500 MILLION active users and other accounts your idea client can visit. Why must they knock first and wait for access. This turns customers away before they ever see what you are all about. Take a moment NOW and change your INSTAGRAM privacy settings to PUBLIC. Are your still uncomfortable about this?! Imagine you have a BRICK and Mo-tar store on a very popular street in your city, with a good amount of walk in traffic. In Montreal this would be a store on St. Catherine, Downtown. And your door is locked but there is a sign at the door that reads;

Knock first and wait to be granted access before you can walk into my store and spend your hard earned money.

This can be a turn off to some and therefore you are missing on sales opportunities.

Now that your PRIVACY settings are no longer in the way, it is time to AUDIT your existing account. Remove all those ever so adorable photos of your children or your pet. Those random food shots that you posted while you where on date night with bad lighting.

How many likes did you get for that picture? How much engagement did you get out of it? How man times did it result in someone saying oh that is so great let me also go and check out her website and oh wait look I can also join her mailing list.

If the picture is not relevant to your target customer that you want to attract to your account on Instagram – then I urge you once again DELETE it! You can always open a personal account and post all the pictures you like. But if it for business purposes you will have to complete this AUDIT.

Here are the 5 Reason’s Why your Business should be on Instagram:

Build Engagement with your Customers Online.

Instagram does this very well. If your posts are well planned and posted with a hashtag strategy you will begin to attract your ideal audience who will want to engage with you.
Attract new customers

Each time you post a new photo, you are marketing your business for free on Instagram and attracting new customers to your product or service. Give value constantly to gain trust and attract our ideal customers.
Ideal for a Product Launch

Build awareness on your upcoming launch. It could be a pre-sale to your book release. Generating a buzz before the book becomes available , creating a demand before our official launch date. Once the product is ready announce the release date and offer an added bonus for purchasing the book in advance. It could be access to your closed Facebook Group or a discount coupon they can use to save on free shipping.
Creates brand awareness for your product to a global market

When more people know and like your product, this means that more people can purchase your product. The more the purchase the more revenue you are generating from free Instagram traffic.
Engage with your customers

When your customers who buy and like your product use your custom hashtag to post pictures on Instagram and show how the are using your product with a caption about it, you can feature these posts on your account as customer testimonials and give the customer a shout out to show that you have noticed their post. This drives engagement and sales as customers like to see social proof that someone else has bought it too.
