MicroBlogging is creating small snippets of content and posting or publishing on a platform outside of your website. A lot of entrepreneurs have been microblogging for years on social and we don’t even recognize it. If you’ve ever made a long Instagram or Facebook caption, done a series of Tik Tok ideas or reels, or even done one of those 5-10-part Twitter series; then you have been microblogging and didn’t even know it. Most coaches, course creators, and membership site owners don’t realize that the Social media content creation they are doing can be used for so much more. This question actually came up a few months ago when I was interviewed by Racheal Miller on her Moolah Marketing page, and comes up a lot when I'm doing SEO coaching.

Microblogging: Using your IG and Social Content for Good SEO

Conversations that use technical terms that typical business owners do not understand, are common. A prime example of this is the idea of ranking factors. Think to yourself as you are listening to this episode and ask, Do I know what a ranking factor is or why it matters. Business owners and entrepreneurs may not be familiar with ranking factors, because it is not always spoken about. When using SEO as a strategy, having customers come to your site is important, but you are just beginning. If you are not meeting your business goals, such as increased sales or memberships, it could be because there are other factors you need to pay attention to.  Think of ranking factors as a search engine scorecard. You are constantly being graded based on your site's interaction with your customers. Depending on the ranking factor, the higher or lower it is, the more successful your site and content will be in your business goals. Google measures your site, by looking at factors, such as, your site’s relevance and popularity, your site’s speed and even how quickly someone clicks that exit button. In today’s episode, I talk about major ranking factors, why we should care about them and how to get factors into the right ranking. Do you want to know how ranking factors affect your SEO? Do you want to know how your website is ranking on search engines? Are you interested in knowing tips to get into the right ranking? Do you want your customers to stay and love your business, website, and products? Then you’ve come to the right episode. Let’s get your site ranking!

Ya’ll, my bushes are gone and I am so upset! The absolute audacity. So, my husband and I decided to focus on our home’s landscaping this year, guess who was really proud of our new budding bushes and growing vine! I was….. This was going to be our home makeover and I could not wait to see what it was going to look like next year. But then, everything took a turn when I went out to check on my bushes and only one was left, with three small leaves.  As I was going through a world of emotions, in true Akilah fashion, I remembered that this feeling I was having was familiar. As a business owner, we have all experienced the feeling of our expertise, product, or service being looked over by others. The feeling where you’ve worked so hard to get your business where it is today, and still no interviews, limited sales, and not enough traffic to your site. Just like my bushes that were not “seen” and mistakenly “removed”, entrepreneurs can sometimes be overlooked by others! As an SEO expert and coach, majority of my business is built on the foundation of VISIBILITY for myself, my clients and my community. *cues theme music* In this episode, I talk about how to grow visibly to your customers, search engines and others. You know how much time, effort and sacrifices you’ve made within your business, but that does not mean other people are seeing that through their own lens. It’s not about what’s visible to you, it’s about what’s visible to others. So I have a few questions for you: Are you uncertain about the visibility of your business? Do you think your business and expertise is being overlooked? Do you feel like you just want to give up on that business, podcast or even blog? Interested in tips on ways to grow more visibly? This episode will give you some laughs, tips, and motivation to get your head back into the game. In all honesty, after going through my world of emotions, I came to the conclusion that my bushes were just not visible enough --- let’s figure out if that’s the same with your business too.

I've been a membership owner for almost 4 years now. I started with my retailers’ membership and shifted to my current SEO membership. Many people hear about building membership and think all they need to do is throw their content on a membership site on WordPress or membership site on Squarespace and they will magically make money every month. I learned from our guest today Stu McLaren that a membership site needs strategy and to build a community to continue to grow and thrive. We talk with Stu McLaren the Owner of Tribe and Master of Memberships at Tribe.  Stu McLaren has been running and working with memberships sites for a few decades, starting as one of the founders of membership plugin Wish List members, working with Michael Hyatt on platform University, and now he is the force behind 1000s of memberships working with membership owners in his Tribe program since 2016. We had a great time talking about recurring revenue model and how it will build a sustainable business that allows you to make revenue and serve with less stress Here's what you'll learn in this episode: how to create a membership site that keeps members engaged and excited? How Stu use affiliates and JVs to help with his Tribe launch What business will have a lot of success with membership sites the truth about how and what you can price your membership site how to start a membership even if you don’t have a large audience?

Are you on Clubhouse or do you know what Clubhouse is? Clubhouse is an invitation-only, audio-chat social networking platform that has taken over the internet!  I have been engaging on clubhouse for quite some time and have had the amazing opportunity of hosting rooms, being a moderator and cultivating relationships with clients and other entrepreneurs. For this episode, I wanted to give you LIVE access into my very own Clubhouse room….. and the category is: Can your business thrive on this platform? Being that Clubhouse is such a buzz, I have seen some really great reviews and success stories, but I would be remiss to not share that the experience of success is not shared by everyone. Some business owners are really struggling to see the value of using this platform. In this episode you will hear some real feedback from business owners that use or have tried to use Clubhouse as a strategy to support their business objectives and goals.   Being that this was not a typical podcast, but a LIVE streaming of a Clubhouse room, I was successfully able to have 4 moderators and 16 guests share their experiences. Each moderator and guest provided an introduction of themselves and their business. We had quite a mixture, from product based businesses to service based businesses. Thank you to everyone who generously provided amazing tips, strategies and experiences. Are you curious to know if EVERY business can thrive on Clubhouse? Are you curious to know what NOT to do on Clubhouse to actually thrive? Do you have interest in gaining valuable tips/strategies to get started? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, listen to this episode! We are here to provide you some serious tea. So, do I think Clubhouse can help all businesses thrive --- my short answer is YES, and this podcast episode explains why. Make sure to show some support and love to all the businesses that were introduced in this episode!!
