NO MORE BABY STEPS

Showing up for your biz doesn't mean doing a random post here & there. It doesn't only mean working feverishly behind the scenes to get stuff done. It also means appearing on camera, building sound 1:1 relationships with your followers which ultimately turns them into fans & clients!

Here are 5 things you can do to start showing up for your biz online: 

1. Start a Blog: It's the way I got my start. After an assignment from my Digital Marketing lecturer I created "Paula J's Marketing Blog". Starting a blog is a great way to get comfortable sharing your opinions openly and build a body of work! 

2. Start a podcast: Similar to a blog, but you're taking it one step further by letting your audience HEAR you! You will begin to get more comfortable sharing your opinions openly but on another level. Podcasting is fun....some of you may know one of my many past podcasts like "Pick a Side with Paula". 

3. Share a video: Whether you want to start a YouTube channel, do a Tik Tok or share an IGTV vid, it's about time you showed up on the camera. I know how nerve-wracking this can be but all the things you're thinking about in your head, no one is thinking that about you appearing on camera. In fact, your followers are more likely to admire you because they tend to think "Wow, she's so brave. I wish I was like her"....while you're in front the camera thinking you look horrible. 

4. Go live: I promise you it's nothing like you think....and when you start a live it becomes intoxicating.... you'll probably end up staying on longer than you should, interacting with whoever shows up. Now about who shows up....whether 0, 10 or 100 persons tune in to your live, you continue on!

5. DMing your followers: You're probably thinking "Oh that's easy, why is it #5?" Have you ever DM'd your clients a video of you offering them a special deal? Have you sent them a welcome message ON VIDEO? Trust me, it sets you apart from the rest. You may think "they will say I'm crazy" when they're really thinking "Wow, this is so cool!"

I remember when I bought floppy discs to save my assignments and it was the coolest thing. Look at us now touching the skies and what not, living our lives on the cloud, LOL. We have come really far with technology, but Digital Marketing has also evolved over the years. Today, we'll be looking at the history of  Digital Marketing through a short video I created! Listen out for the questions and interact with me, as always! UPDATE:  I have started my own personal  blog . Follow me on  Instagram  &  Twitter  for more content!! Works Cited: Lincoln, J.

  Photo by Pixabay: https://www.pexels.com/photo/jet-cloud-landing-aircraft-46148/ I am not writing this review with any mal intent but to evoke any self-reflection on the part of the owner of Mood Images Events & Travel . At no point will I advise you not to book with this agency, however, my documented experience should serve as a cautionary tale. I am also of the view that you should accept the part you play in your own suffering so, of course, I know that I did not hold the owner accountable on several occasions because all I wanted was a good trip. With that being said, let’s begin. I really wanted to go on my first solo trip this year and this motivated me to continue accepting questionable service from this organization. I booked a 4 days-3 nights' trip to St. Lucia. What motivated me to go with this travel agency?   I’m a Digital Content Manager – I create, curate & manage content for several local and international companies - so naturally content is wh...

5 Marketing Lessons from Emily in Paris

So I binged-watched the hit series, Emily in Paris in one night. It was that entertaining. I loved the 'Ugly Betty' undertones, the relatability of the character Emily and the humour that the language barriers brought about! The fashion! The food! The wanderlust of it all and of course the romance. If you haven't watched an episode yet....you should. I'm waiting with bated breath for season 2! Apart from all the fluff that makes a series like this particularly great, there were some important marketing lessons that you may have missed out on. But not to worry, I'm here to break them down for ya! Lesson 1: Content is Everywhere & Everything Formulating a strategy is one of the first things Marketers talk about....so it's always in our faces. But, sometimes content falls outside of that strategic box and literally creates its own 'strategy' if you will. If you are in the digital marketing field, I know that you know, that our minds are always on go. Tr...
